So now what will you complain about?
>>77195865It's cool that planet fitness is evolving.I'd still always patron a local gym over them, given the option- but I understand not everyone has those options.As I understand it, the reason they didn't have free weight barbells was due to liability concerns, but I guess their legal team is now allowing it. So that's good.All it takes is one litigious jew to fuck it all up, though- but I guess I guess that's the case with almost anything.
>>77195865if the PF near me gets actual barbells and racks i would definitely check it out to see what machines it has and if it can support my workout, it's like 1/3 the price of my current gym kekwith that said, i'm sure this will be a slow roll-out and many locations probably won't have these for years/ever
>>77195865>his local PF didn't have racks and an indoor track for the past 15 years
>>77195865Why the fuck isn't there a mirror
>>77195967Judgement free zone.
>>77195865"Please do not place benches on the platforms", that's what.
>>77195967there doesn't need to be a mirror behind a power cage kek, or is there some joke i'm missing here?
>>77195865>So now what will you complain about?Picrel x8 is missing, so enjoy getting crushed like RIP+f 600lb-ACK powerjeeta when ur spotters spaz out.
>>77195865No more pizza :(
>>77195865>can’t put a bench on the platform>can’t lift inside the cage>can’t deadlift if someone’s squatting and vice versaThese kinds of combo platforms are showing up everywhere. Neat idea to save (minimal) space for gyms, but they suck for people training.
>>77195967Only lunks need mirrors
>>77195865no eleiko plate nor iron cast plates
>>77196183At my university gym, people would simultaneously use the rack and the platform Was a cool experience to have so many people lifting for real in the same place at the same time
>>77195977a mirror in front of power cage is a must, especially for OHP
>>77195865Planet fitness's entire marketing campaign was convincing (gaslighting) women into thinking when you go to the gym people are grunting at the top of their lungs, making fun of you for trying, and drinking out of a 10L jug of water to intimidate you for some reason and it worked. There are legitimately people who think this will happen if you go to any other gym then pf. Truly satanic
>>77195865they fucking closed the one near me but it was full of indians anyway
>>77195865The flood of Indians in jeans, flip flops and polos curling in it
>>77195865They are franchises, so they can all have different shit. one near me had real racks forever but it's in niggerville so no go zone
>>77196301So, someone’s face in your ass when you’re squatting, and someone’s ass in your face when you’re deadlifting? No thanks, unless it was a hot girl when I was deadlifting. I just hate these rack setups.>>77196367I think the franchisor gives them a range of equipment package options that they feel fit within the brand. I’ve had some experience with being a franchisee, no way can you just put purely what you want in there.

I walked into a planet fitness for the first time just to check it out and 80% of the floor space was dedicated to treadmills and some cuck corners for actual workouts. It’s like something out of a parody but it’s real life
I'm on a PP (legs during push day) routine and $15/month is perfect for me only going a couple days a week. Benching on the smith machine looks slightly more based because you have to add more weight since the attached bar only has 25 lbs of resistance. My location is pretty based and doesn't hit the lunk alarm for anything. I've also seen pics of the lunk alarm with the example underneath the definition that makes fun of wearing a tank top and having a jug of water, but my location doesn't have that, which has me thinking they eventually did away with it at all locations.
>>77195967Mine has mirrors. They got rid of half off sips; only for water and Powerade(?) now, and nixed free bagels and pizza too.Found out I love rowing machines.Hydromassage is the shit.
>>77195976Mine has adjustable benches for the cages.>>77196300This is true.And the bars are not Oly, they are 35#.
>>77196709>peepee routinecall it push-pull, anon.
I remember going to a planet fitness once when I was a teenager, seeing a long list of things you can't do or they'll ring an alarm and publicly shame you, and never going back. Even if they're the cheapest gym in my city, I'll still pay more for something else if I ever decide to ditch thd apartment gym.
>>77196646dyel answer
>>77197123Literally does not happen, most new ones do not even have an alarm. You are making shit up.
>>77196301kinoI did that when I lifted at a uni gym
i go to one and it's fine. pretty empty most days.
>>77196572you weren't made for the weightroomstick to your cables little buddy
>>77197382Maybe its changed. Like I said, I last set foot in one over ten years ago when I was a teenager. Zero plans on going back
>>77195865bros I couldn't cancel my gym membership (Crunch Fitness) and it trashed my credit scoreplanet fitness makes it really easy to cancelnever trust ANY chain gym that makes it IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL
>>77195984>RIP+f 600lb-ACK powerjeeta when ur spotters spaz out.wasn't that also because they stacked up mats that she had to step off of? the entire setup was absolutely jeeted.
>>77196183>can’t deadlift if someone’s squatting and vice versadrag and second bar over and just face each other?
>>77195865Nice, the one near me only had cables and 2 smith machines. It was horrible
>>77197119Nah, push-pull is what I already call my jerkoff cardio
>>77196304no it's really not.
I agree, stop benching in the fucking squat rack. if there aren't any benches specifically for barbell bench in your gym, your gym is shit and you should go to a different one (if it's the only one in your area then do dumbbell bench, still not in the squat rack you cretin)
>>77195865Is this new brand standard or just a franchisee gone rogue?
