10 Reasons Why Planet Fitness Is The Best Gym For You:

There was a time when I despised this place and everything they stood for. I hated that they gave out pizza, that you couldn’t dead-lift and that they encouraged comfort over results. I have grown up a bit.

The thing is; a gym like that might be just what you need, or maybe not. Read this and see if this helps you make a better choice.

1. Comfort – It’s a comfortable gym, where you’ll feel confident going in and getting a good sweat. If that’s what you desire then at most, it is just to be a little active so you can feel better about yourself. Although there isn’t any pressure to do your best and they don’t hold you accountable, so that you can hit your goals on time; however, if that isn’t your thing then who cares.

2. Purple – If you like the color purple it’s awesome. I’m not a big fan of purple. If it’s your favorite color, you’ll be happy.

3. Pizza – Now like most people, I like pizza too. So, if you like pizza as well, free pizza is definitely plus. Especially if it’s your goal to exercise, so you can treat yourself then this is your place, but for my gym we like to build healthy habits; not that we don’t eat pizza, we just don’t want to build that relationship. We don’t want the reason we exercise, only to eat delicious  food. We exercise to be our best self, to feel better, to look better and to do cool stuff.
4. $10 month -It definitely is cost effective. So, if you don’t feel you want to invest in your fitness that much, then that is definitely a great option. For me though, the time, effort, energy and dollars you  invest in something shows how much you value it. There is something to be said for having no problem buying the newest iphone but never wanting to spend more than few dollars a day to workout. But, to each their own.
5. No yelling – This can be a plus especially if you don’t want to hear people yell as they lift. I sometimes yell when I lift. For few reasons: its makes me sound really cool and help me lift heavier loads (or so I tell myself). But, if that is not your thing, then that’s another bonus for planet fitness.
6. Machines – They have a lot of machines. It makes exercising easier to do. Not much of a learning curve. Not like us, we do a lot of body weight and weighted exercises. So, we usually have to dedicate the first class to teaching all of our basic movements, It does take some practice, but the results are better.

7. Free personal training- Free is awesome especially when it’s a trainer, that can help you with your goals, customize your workout, help you with your nutrition and keep you accountable. I’m glad they’re offering this for free.  I just hope they’re good. I remember when I first left WOW (like five years ago) weeks after I left, my old clients messaged me to tell me that all of the new trainers would do is put them through these boring machine circuits and they felt that they could do that by themselves.

8. No judgment zone – There a quote I love. “There are two types of people, the player and the people on the side line. The players are on the court sweating and giving it there all, trying to achieve what they truly desire. Win or lose they will leave all out there. Then, you’ve got the people on the side line, who are super quick to judge and criticize. The truth about them is that they simply don’t have courage to fail and give it their best”

You will always be judged

You can play it safe or try your best not to be judged and then be judged anyway.

You can go all in and try to do what you truly want, but you’ll still be judged.
