Our PLanet fitness locations are new and clean, with locker rooms and showers that work.
They have a variety of machines, with several matching ones of each type. (My former fitness center had one(1) elliptical that I preferred. They started with 6-8, but didn’t repair them when they had problems. The other ellipticals were too big for me, PF’s are fine.)
No fitness classes, per se, which is a drawback. I like classes.
They have a circuit room for abs and glutes, with a stoplight timer to keep you honest but no one corrects you if you want to skip a station or double up on another.
I like the stretch rooms - lots of space and a cagey apparatus to use, as well as mats and cords, rollers and bands.
Haven’t really used the weight Rea or the TRX suspension.
Free pizza once a month at night and it’s like a party. Free bagels one or Ning a month. They have a snack cooler and table/chairs which is nice. The water fountains have a water bottle fill option.
The massage and tanning are optional - if you get the basic $10 : month membership, they’re no included.
The “black card” membership costst twice as much but let’s you go to any PF location, use the massage/tanning, and you can bring a guests. I chose that option becaus DH won’t use massage/tanning or work out without me. It saved us an annual fee. There is PF near the rink and another near my house,so it’s convenient to have the black card.
