[@blades.]

I've never heard the alarm at my PF and there's always super buff dudes there. The dumbbells are all rubber so you wouldn't even hear it if you dropped them. And the whole reason they want you to be gentler on the machines is so you don't crack the weights since I'm assuming they're cast and brittle. I do agree that if your setting of the alarm regularly it's time to go to a more body building focused gym

as someone who’s worked at planet fitness going on 6 years the tootsies are mainly for people with low sugar and are new and come to the gym and overwork themselves. pizza monday was invented because power was out at one of the gyms and to stop members complaining about not being able to work out they gave away free pizza on the monday. it got great feedback from the afternoon crowd so they continued pizza mondays 5pm-8pm. morning gym goers got upset they didn’t receive anything so they introduced bagel tuesday for the morning crowd to shut them up basically. if you wanna know any other questions just ask 😂

Why does PF have arbitrary rules location per location? I understand some might be franchise but as a “gym” there’s some rules that shouldn’t be arbitrary. The PFs in my area doesn’t allow dumbbell presses even though it’s prob the best alternative for the lack of free barbel especially for beginners who haven’t yet learned the mechanics of proper movement. The smith machine can fuck up a beginner joints really bad.

[@OpenCourse556]

I've been the GM of two PF Clubs. The target PF member is a woman between 40 and 60 who only want to walk on treadmills or elipticals. This is why there is a strict dress code, no heavy weights, and the whole "lunker shaming." The tootsierolls are there literally to get you to stop at the desk so you can be up sold or sold something new. The pizza and bagels... the corporate story is that a PF in Connecticut has their hot water gobout during the winter, and to say "sorry" the club bought pizza for everyone who still came to work out. Then they kept doing it, Corporate got ahold of the idea and decided to do pizza one a month. They added bagels for the morning to keep the AM crowd happy. If 1 slice of pizza or 1 bagel, once a month, ruins your whole life, then you have other issues... at least that is the corporate line. The contract is crazy and they charge crazy fees for canceling early and have huge annual fees. Though, you do have 3 days to cancel without fees.

I’m not looking to be a body builder by any means but I will say I’m getting to the point strength wise where the weights aren’t heavy enough, however I have learned other exercises that can work around the weight being to low for specific movements.

As for the pizza thing, it's not pizza every Monday, it's only rhe first Monday of the month, but the only reason that started was way back when PF wasn't super huge yet there was a giant issue with the gyms systems and it couldn't sign in members or scan cards, and actually shut down for a bit while they fixed it, as an apology the had pizza on the first day it reopened. So every first Monday of the month they decided to have a few boxes out as a thank you for members who keep coming back. But also, people act like they don't eat like shit then go work out before they even walk in the door. I think it's kind of a Mute point tbh, especially since most of the people eating the pizza are the employees anyway.

For me, it’s how I’m starting out, once I’m getting more serious and dedicated, then I’ll pay a higher price for a better gym, $10 a month is a damn steal

[@EventHorizonz]

After experiencing better gyms, going back to planet fitness made it feel like all the equipment were just toys and that they would easily break if I ended up using them.

[@johnnylv1127]

Nobody hates it. It just has limits. Not for advanced level body builders is all.

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

It depends on the location. The Planet Fitness in my neighborhood has a lot of free weights and kettlebells, and they don’t give away free pizza or Tootsie Rolls. There are people of all shapes, sizes, and fitness levels that work out there.

[@borden6635]

As someone who has been going to PF for about 6 months now I have never been or witnessed anybody else be bothered by the staff or lunkk alarm for any reason despite a large amount of people who wear tank tops , so I think it really depends on the location and management of the PF you go to.

[@hirotakasugi4891]

The PF around my area doesn’t allow dumbbell presses… even though it’s probably safer than the smith machines, especially for beginners (beginners don’t often know the mechanics behind a movement and the angled way smith moves up and down goes against that, without properly setting up you can fuck up your joints badly).

[@CowardlyQrow]

It's literally a gym for people that are casually into going to the gym not strong average gym goers it's basically a beginner gym which is great for people who are intimidated from lifters and stuff

[@YourBoiChipsAhoy]

Don’t compare yourself to others. You can look at them and set that as your goal but don’t have the mentality that they are just better than you and get intimidated. Everyone starts somewhere and just getting up and going to the gym is more than what most people do.

[@marcwilliams3692]

As somebody that has been working out for years planet fitness is probably really food for alotta people

[@Sebot.]

I feel like if i went to the gym and saw a super buff guy i wouldnt feel intimidated i would feel motivated

[@ShuuuuutUp]

Maybe in America, in UK, maybe just the one I go to it’s probably the best gym out there everyone is so friendly and kind there’s no “lunk alarm” or “free food”

[@ItsJustJosiah]

Hey y’all, I watched his video so you don’t have too. TLDR, the only real tea that was spilled was that they have a alarm for the “gymtimidate” people but they don’t use it for safety reasons ie seizures or triggers. Nothing serious, they basically didn’t talk about anything note worth or shocking

[@Father-imp]

My mother used to work at planet fitness bc we lives like a minute away from one. She got my father a free member ship so he could basically roam the whole building for free or something idk. The place closed down before I was born sooo

[@nomymina5429]

The planet fitness around where I live my friend got a membership there but had moved away after a bit of time he had tried to call them to cancel his membership but they actively said he can’t cancel over the phone and has to go into the place to cancel the membership well with how much it cost to get back to the aria to cancel it. It was actually cheaper if he just opened a new account at his bank and take the money out of the other one

[@BoxBoy.]

Pizza Monday:wait you work out you lost 100calories!Not anymore

[@TayyJayy]

If you hate on planet fitness you never been there I just switched from la fitness which is $40 a month to planet which is $10 and there are 4 smith machines for mutti uses like dead lifts bench press squats, but in la fitness there's only 2 Smith and 2 bench presses

[@UltimateJM_22]

This is how shorts that shouldn’t be shorts SHOULD be done, instead of that “like for part 2” bullshit 👑

[@dakotabarnard787]

Planet Fitness can be a decent gym. Just depends on the management and crowd. The one I go to has laid back workers and manager who only ring the alarm to mess with people they know.

[@silversonic99]

Lol dress code is fine. You don't need boots sandals jeans or string tank tops to work out. As a body builder I find the hate it gets silly. It's a great gym and for most people it has everything they need. If you want to keep going you can always switch after

[@jaxv94]

It feels like going to a Chuck E Cheese

[@wowzachery.]

People who hate on planet fitness, either oblivious or ignorant planet fitness, is designed for beginners and older people. It’s basically a starter gym for people

[@sephryn6112]

There's a Planet Fitness gym line in South Africa too which is completely unrelated to the weird one in the USA, and is actually most people's go to.

[@BobSmith-qn3ii]

Wait I go to a planet fitness here in Australia and I didn’t know the “lunk alarm” was actually functional??? Does it actually go off?

[@noodlefish8793]

it's my favorite gym. it was always quiet there and they have comedy shows playing on TV while you work

[@thelost987]

Here in Kennewick there was a stabbing at one of them near my house and there were like 20 cops there

[@goqurts]

this gave me the same feeling as thinking you're going to get your "free prize" after completing a survey and then you're given another survey

[@Icantwithyou9]

I've lost 30lbs in 4 months going to planet fitness, I've never seen a pizza Monday. They stopped giving Tootsie Rolls..

[@user-cm4op2kz3y]

As someone on a constant bulk and fast metabolism, the free pizza sounds great

[@Notbot2763]

When i scrolled like 1 short a man screaming at crispy audio while lunk alarm is happening

[@CYDRXGE]

idk what planet fitness you guys have but our alarm never goes off and they never give out pizza. ngl im kinda glad nobody really goes less noise and more spacious

[@MasherGamesYT]

I was working out at planet fitness once, and the lunk alarm went off, I ended up dropping one of the heaviest hand weights directly on my foot from that damn air raid siren. Be absolutely illegal to use a real air raid siren like that. I canceled my membership the same day

[@ollicron7397]

The PF I went to never rang the lunk alarm or had any problems. Pizza once in a while never hurt anyone as long as appropriate caloric and nutrients are met; it shouldn't matter.

[@rm19660]

The days of free food days at planet fitness has long been gone😢

[@bleh3039]

I think every gym caters to different types of people who workout- I think this gym is for beginners who just need to get into the habit of working out - it just gives their members medals for getting there which I guess is ok because our obesity epidemic is crazy in the US - I go to golds gym in LA and the majority of the equipment is weights because our gym is known as a bodybuild gym

[@davidw9083]

Don't forget the men in the women's restroom. Sick

[@halomaster9XPz]

As a dude who goes to planet fitness in two states.... I never seen free pizza Monday or free bagels and most the people in there are ripped and most of the bodybuilders are very nice and give people tips and motivation to keep on going. And we meet every Thursday to do some hard workouts.

[@AcridDragoon]

giving out unhealthy food is the most evil thing a gym can do
