Anyone members at planet fitness?

Anyone members at planet fitness and have a circuit training section? Man I did the 30 min circuit and it kicked my butt. Felt a nice burn and worked up a good sweat. I recommend trying it.

I do, haven't done the Biggest Loser circuit training yet since I am 17 days post op. doc only lets me do Cardio right now but I am really looking forward to doing that. I love the idea and the lights that signal for you to stop and go. Pretty awesome!

Yep.. I love planet fitness. No fancyass snob attitude like other gyms. The trainers and asst are normal people in good shape and health.

The 30 minute circuit .. Well, sometimes I go to move on and look at my legs and say "hey, why aren't you moving"

The intermittent steps are the hardest for me. My favorite is bike or treadmill while watching food network.. Then there's a flippin' bakery next door! LOL, go figure!

They have opened locations somewhat near me but none I could get to easily so I'm hoping they are moving this way! From the things I've been reading here its a great place.

Yeah it's real. I have a video of us setting it off, and there are numerous vids on youtube. I was kicked out of one and criminally trespassed by the local police for deadlifting 550 pounds, and on the descent the weight made a noise, set off the lunk alarm by some mr. stick legs and I was asked to leave because other members felt threatened.

2nd time I was kicked out was the lawsuit. I walked in with a friend of mine with our gym bags, with honestly every intention of getting kicked out during our workout, I was on a business trip and the hotel gym sucked. Both my friend and myself were prepping for the Texas strongman competition so we decided to take a trip to PF. We walked in, and were met at the front by the manager and he pointed at the door. We were discriminated before we ever got on the gym floor. The fact that the "no judgement zone" bullshit is a lie just pisses me off. So because I deadlift, bench, and squat ass to ground with good form, and I'm able to move a lot of weight, I'm told I can't lift at this facility? What kind of gym discourages this? And movie and pizza night? A f$$king jar of candy on the counter? Give me a break. They only have one interest, keeping their clients fat and lazy to keep clientele. The trainers and under certified jokes, and the managers have business degrees at best with no relation to fitness. Yeah, I wanna lose weight, so I'm gonna join a gym that has pizza and bagel days. Whoo!!!!

I have never understood the pizza and bagel gimmick... The night I signed up for my membership there was a table full of pizzas in the entry way of the gym. I stood there rather puzzled and figured it was some type of joke... I don't get the ploy....

HA!!!

They even hang flyers up in the main workout areas about the upcoming pizza/bagel days. I have asked them on Facebook why they have these events, and no one has ever responded. Idk... I know that I personally wouldn't be caught dead chowin down in pizza or bagels at the gym... (Not that I could now, even if I wanted too).

Dang.. I feel like I'm being ripped off! My lousy gym only has a Baskin Robins ice cream next to it with a drive thru! 0_o

I'm not some kind of conspiracy theorists or whatever, most of those people I really think are quacks, but there are documentaries I've seen about the healthcare and fitness industries, it's obvious the fitness industry was built on scams and crap (just look at any over the counter weight loss meds and how you can put anything in a bottle and market it as a weight loss pill, LITERALLY). But I really think PF is all about keeping their clients fat and happy rather than looking at the serious issue of obesity. It pisses me off seeing them treat it as such a joke when people are dying of this disease every second.

Sorry, I guess I should apologize before some sends me a mean nasty PM or someones feelings get hurt. I didn't mean to turn this in to a bash PF thread, it serves its purpose if you can walk past the large pepperoni or Bagels on the counter, I mean, who of us has ever had a problem with temptation right? Psh.

Ok let me try to apologize legitimately again. I don't want to hijack the thread any more than I already have, sorry I did in the first place. Sometimes I just don't know when to back out of a thread versus giving my opinion. My apologies.
