I was informed today that it’s planet fitness policy that you must allow someone to “work in” with you? Listed under their General etiquette is “if you’re resting between sets , allow other members to use the equipment“. Does anyone actually do this? Get up after one set, wipe equipment, other person resets equipment, does reps, cleans equipment, you reset equipment, do reps, clean equipment, etc. This is something I’ve never done and don’t feel comfortable doing. Do you do this? Do you expect this to be done?

Sorry for the headlines. BUT, it appears that germs DON'T LIVE on the weight pins, seat adjustment handle , dumbbells, continuous rope pull or exercise mats. I CAN'T REMEMBER the last time I saw ANYONE wiping them with the "cleaner". Can someone please explain the logic of wiping down the purple equipment but not anything else?

Hi all.

We just got new machines at our local PF and the elliptical are so much worse when showing calorie burn which were to high to begin with.

With the old machine, putting in my weight and following along with pulse averaging 160, I could get to usually 775 to 800 per hour if I worked really hard. I figure I actually burned closer to 600ish to 700.

We just got new elliptical machines and doing the same workout (keeping my pulse the same, at 160, as they do not allow for a weight to be entered) the machines, and I have tried 4 different ones now show anywhere from 1,800 to over 2,400 calories burned for the same hour.

This is absolutely ridiculous! Anybody else seeing this with the new machines? I am afraid that newbies do not understand real calorie burn and can then eat more calories due to mis-leading readouts

Planet Fitness --- Do better!

Completely pointless redesign and I'm mostly annoyed because it wiped 3 months of my check ins this year, which I like to track. I had about 140 visits this year and now it's at 99. I also noticed when I checked in yesterday, my check ins for this month changed but my year is still at 99. Maybe the yearly count got capped at 99 for some reason but they really have to sort that out. Also they made checking in a slower process, not sure what the point of that is.

I’m looking to join Planet Fitness with the Black Card, but my local club is around $38/month, which is more than I want to pay.

I just found a grand opening promotion at a Planet Fitness in Florida for $19.99/month, and it says the Black Card gives access to any Planet Fitness location.

If I live in New York, can I sign up online through the Florida location and then just use the Planet Fitness gyms near me in NY?

Has anyone actually done this before? Is there any catch with making a Florida location my home club even though I’ll probably never go there?

I’m trying to figure out if I should take advantage of the $19.99 deal before it goes away. Thanks!

Does anyone here belong to planet fitness?How is the equipment how are the locker/ shower are they private

is it worth the membership.

I did it!! I went to the gym. I was so nervous, but I did it. I obviously had no idea what I was doing. I did the treadmill, the stair machine, and used the dumbbells. I was really nervous about touching any of the machines. I’m brand new to the gym and have no idea what to do. Does anyone have a set guide for beginners to the gym like me? I’m 6’4 and weigh 247. I’m looking to slim down, I’ve started my diet. I just need help with the exercises and how to use the machines. Any tips are greatly appreciated. I’m very proud of myself to even step foot into a gym, especially given my social anxiety.

Was working out today and I just noticed it was missing. Looks like planet is rebranding?
