| - This planet fitness is a pretty good gym, and when you consider that it only costs $10 per month, it's a great gym.
I used to go to LA fitness in south side, but decided to leave because of the lack of free parking, high prices ($30/month), crowds, and the fact that I just never wanted to go.
Planet fitness actually feels like it's "no judgement" tagline. There are a variety of people in there, not just 30-and-under already fit people. There are people of all ages and fitness levels. This location has a ton of treadmills and ellipticals, and a decent amount of bikes and that other elliptical-type machine. There are two of every weight lifting machine, and there are people other than jacked dudes using them! I am a 23 year old woman and I don't feel weird using those machines (again, unlike LA fitness where I never even tried). That's my favorite thing about this gym.
There are no fitness classes (though there is one personal trainer) and no pool. This wasn't a deal breaker for me, especially since again, it's only $10/month. There is a lot of parking and a giant eagle in the same shopping center, which is actually a pretty big plus.
So, my bottom line is that it's not an ordeal to get yourself to, park, find a machine, and start working out here. And you really don't feel pressure to compare yourself to those around you. Everybody is sort of doing their own thing. And the weight lifting machines are varied and actually usable!
