Even though I believe these gyms have their place, maybe even as a stepping stone to the next level, I know it's not something that's meeting my needs any longer. Although I've only been in classes for two days, I'm confident about how far I can go from here.

Now I know you might find this hard to believe but I didn’t always have this athletic prowess you see today. So when I decided that my out of shape behind needed to get into shape a place like Planet Fitness would have made me feel really comfortable and welcome. I know for some of you it may be hard for you to see the point in a place like this but for some this can take the edge off of joining a gym.<br /><br />I believe if people are truly dedicated to getting healthy beyond making a failed New Year’s resolution they will find that going to the Planet Fitness every day boring and eventually leave (like I did with 24 hour fitness). But those that are not truly interested in getting healthy will probably just leave. <br /><br />Now kicking someone out of your gym because they make too much noise is just plain silly and poor business tactics. This is some sort of reverse discrimination. Some people are just vocal err, I mean expressive. I mean when I run I am expressive (winded but expressive). But really if you really are an expressive person when working out (meaning you are putting some effort into your workout) is Planet Fitness really for you anyway?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077942214000774594.post-21189106141720122732010-12-28T16:22:30.850-06:002010-12-28T16:22:30.850-06:00Has Logwod been updated for Monday and Tuesday or ...Has Logwod been updated for Monday and Tuesday or I can't see the two WODs in there.GregPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317298320374717072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077942214000774594.post-73507158559177650172010-12-28T15:46:06.395-06:002010-12-28T15:46:06.395-06:00NICE!!

After the holiay weekend, these kicked my ass.<br />Times: 18s/19s/20s/20s/20s<br /><br />As for Planet Fitness:<br />My viewpoint is two-fold. First, I can't stand places like Planet Fitness, because in reality, they only care about getting you in the door to sign up. They have no real need of actual fitness, they want you on the treadmill watching CNN. They make hypocrites of themselves by claiming a "Judgement Free Zone", then judging folks who lift freeweights, and/or sweat, grunt, *insert something clever here*. I have personally been asked to "keep it down" insided a Powerhouse Gym, I can't imagine the Nazi tactics they use to get people to leave at Planet Fitness.<br />On the other hand: I see their niche' in the market, and I can see why certain folks would be attracted to places like that. I have friends who would rather get on the treadmill or exercise bike and then leave, than to use their time more productively. They're not bad, just unmotivated to strive for more. As for the "Lunk" alarms... good thing we have CFO. :-)<br /><br />BrandonBBrandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10198212920253972156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077942214000774594.post-63787792683530688652010-12-28T15:07:12.126-06:002010-12-28T15:07:12.126-06:00Good Workout today!!

Without logging my intake, I'm much looser with what I take in. I always keep my protein intake and veggies intake high, but I'm guessing my fruit intake (carbs) is higher than it should be and my love affair with red wine could be tamed a bit.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096602306639478915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077942214000774594.post-80966284593458782462010-12-28T09:07:41.236-06:002010-12-28T09:07:41.236-06:00To a certain extent, I kind of get what they'r...To a certain extent, I kind of get what they're going for at Planet Fitness.

Think about it: the people who sign up for this gym don't really want to get FIT, they want to get thin. And this gym is set up for them to FAIL, ensuring Planet Fitness New-Year's-Resolution clientele who will never really lose weight - but continue shelling out cash - year after year. Hell, they don't even allow deadlifting!

Seems like they discourage hard work when they are outlawing making any sort of noise. If people doing all they're sissy cardio work on treadmills and ellipticals don't like to watch/listen to people moving some weight around go run outside!
