I am currently at equinox and even though I love it here I am thinking 230 a month is too much for what I use. Which is just free weights, stairmaster, eliptical. Did anyone switch from E to cheaper like planet fitness? I cant believe its just 10.
Planet fitness doesn't even have free weights. I still have it as a backup, since my local ymca is not open 24 hours. My membership is around 150/month for whole family.
Doesn’t it have dumbbells?
The one I go to, the max is about 70 lbs. This is decent enough for high reps days.
If the gym is an important part of your life I’d recommend equinox I would honestly switch to a lifetime fitness in your area if that was possible Planet fitness is good for the price, I would personally recommend an LA fitness if you have a nice one near you TC: 130k Source: 10 yoe gym’ing
Yea it def is, I love to workout.. will see, i ll check them out
Why’d you join equinox in the first place?
I like to work out and like fancy stuff. But since I dont use much of their classes I thought other gym might suffice
230??? Mine is 350
Are you on west coast? In NY even hudson yards is 270.
If you want to cancel your planet fitness membership, you will have to talk directly with the manager. Also, they have a lunk alarm. Planet fitness doesn’t have free weights and is a place for people who don’t want to workout. If I were you, I’d just build up a home gym. Even if you buy rogue equipment, it will pay for itself in a year. Plus, a lot of people are selling their equipment on marketplace now so you can get even better deals.
I have a home gym. BEST investment ever!!
most gyms offer a free trial day - go check it out and decide for yourself.
Yea thats a good idea
Globo gym vs. Average Joes gym
I use planet fitness. There are dumbbells, cardio equipment, cable machines, other strength building machines. It does not have free barbells but it has 4-5 smith machines instead. But is that worth paying so much for that? 10 bucks a month is less than your breakfast
keep in mind planet fitness requires your bank account info to sign up - "for your convenience" , of course. You may or may not be comfortable with that...
