Planet Fitness - It's not a GYM

Suicide is a better option than planet fatness. Healthier than a smith machine as well.
As a dude who had a Planet Fatass membership but got driven out by the meatspace SJW crowd, I'd say go if you have absolutely no other choice in gyms or want a 24 hour access gym but don't have any others in your town. Seriously, so much as make the slightest grunt when lifting the weights and they'll trip the YOU'RE TOO FUKKEN ALPHA FOR THIS GYM BRO Reminder Buzzer Thing, or as they like to call it, The Lunk Alarm. Do it enough times and you'll get some aggro as fuck woman with a soccer mom bowlcut coming at you and telling you to "clean up your act or get out", even though you're remaining calm and Zen as fuck while trying to explain that it's proper form to exhale/grunt when lifting. I get they don't want people roaring like they were taking the mightiest and bloodiest shit of their life, but come on.
So yeah, don't go to Planet Fitness. Just get yourself a YMCA membership or something if worse comes to worse.

lol, it's no different than any other gym. One side of the gym is all cardio machines and the other is all the weight lifting equipment. There are tons of guys there who are pumped... they don't seem to have a problem with any lunk alarm, which I''m pretty sure isn't real. Sure they don't have a cross-fit or powerlifting program, so if you want that, go join a more expensive gym. You can take fitness there a seriously as you choose. If you're an alpha male tough guy who can't handle the reputation this gym has, then go elsewhere. But I doubt the average person is going to feel limited by what this chain provides.
Depends on the gym itself, not all are set up the same with equipment, the local one to me my Mom goes to literally does not have a single fucking bar. Power rack? Nope. It's not a small place either, so it's a choice to exclude them.
I'd agree if you take fitness seriously and your gym has the basic stuff you could make use of it as a gym. But I'm guessing the one I've been to is not the only one skip out on basic lifting requirements.
I'd wager, the rep it has keeps people whom are dedicated to fitness away mostly so they don't even bother trying to broaden their market. I can't fault them for being the "ungym" but as someone who likes the gym it's gonna always be a lol cow to us whom lift.

This.
For the average couch potato wanting to get in shape, it's fine.
Anything more than that, not so good.
I live right near one, and it's funny how right after the new year, the parking lot is packed. Two weeks later, not so much.
EDIT.
They call themselves the "No Judgement Zone", yet they used to have commercials mocking serious weightlifters/bodybuilders.
They are the SJW version of a gym.

I wonder how long it would take @Internet War Criminal to trigger the lunk alarm there? Over/Under 40 seconds?

lol fam get a kettlebell, not a PF membership.
If the Lunk Alarm is real, it sounds like a shitty gym. What's the point if you punish people for working out?
Yes, that is real. But I've never hear it go off yet.

You're not pals with people you're paying, just a customer
Most chain gyms are shit. I have a 24 Hour membership and the "best" location of the group near me has ONE squat rack - which half the time is being used by trainers with their tub-of-lard clients who complain the entire time - and TWO Smith Machines (which half the bozos going to the gym use for squats, smh). The free weights are never re-racked correctly and creepy old men lurk in the locker room. It's a rad experience.
Good luck finding a place. Golds used to be good (at least for a chain) - you could go in, do your thing, and get out - but, who knows any more.

The guy who ran the 24 Hour Fitness near me used to have a TV playing The Passion of the Christ on loop 24/7. No joke.

Most customers enjoyed it and used his chiseled abs as motivation, could have told me to my face instead of complaining like a faggot with bad form
The guy who owns the gym my wife works at is a buff Mormon. What is it with the deeply religious and running good gyms?

Taking care of your body is seen as a religious obligation, and so is being honest in business. So throw good work ethic on top and that's a pretty good recipe for success
