| - Planet Fitness knows how to build a gym. They have a ton of machines to use and lots of free weights. There are sections of the gym that are off limits to certain types of athletes, such as the 30-minute workout area. That section has the same or similar machines to other sections of the gym, but it is there just for those doing a 30-minute workout. There is a dedicated abdominal section and an area for cardio that has three rows of treadmills and ellipticals.
Since this was my first trip to Planet Fitness, I was introduced to the Lunk Alarm, which is a siren on the wall that is activated by staff members who see a person grunting, stressing, or dropping weights. You see, Planet Fitness is for everyone; not just hardcore gym rats.
There are two huge fans on the ceiling that really circulate some air. The name of the company that makes the enormous fans is Big Ass Fans. True story!
The location in Gastonia is very convenient. It was close to our hotel and places to eat. Speaking of eating, you can get pizza at Planet Fitness. That's hillarious! I paid $30 for a week pass, but I only stayed in Gastonia for two days, but if I ever visit again, I'm coming back to Planet Fitness.
The only drawback is that this place is popular, so lots of people and getting a machine can be difficult.
The eye candy was excellent. Great gym!
