Variety of workout equipment, The obvious learning of millions of hours of research, feedback, study, “from the sweat on the floor“ input that has gone into every aspect of what is on the floor of the PF experience now. Many clubs seem to build and promote based on what the” fitness pros” or blogs seem to think is cool…I toured and even tried a couple of those clubs before coming to Planet Fitness (because of ridiculously inaccurate reviews on PF I had seen)—the other clubs I tried were in disrepair, one club that built new studios for wild new adventures that were sparsely attended had the reduced amount of tried and true equipment crowded and ready for duct tape repairs. Another club couldn’t keep the AC running, amongst other things—when I suggested replacing a key piece of missing equipment (clothes spinner-the facility has a swimming pool) in the men’s locker room to the Facilities Manager, he said it was impossible to get funding for anything like that at the club—but there was one in the women’s locker room, if I knew a woman, I could have her take my wet clothes into the women’s locker room and she could spin them out. Hmmm, yeah, no. Same facility lacked room ac doesn’t work, half the showers don’t work, many lockers broken and/or nasty. Every other gym I’ve worked out in played New Age music oppressively loudly, one gym had such a vibe that I did not feel safe spiritually, even after praying intensely, resisting the devil with James 4:7 and putting on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). I was only able to do one full workout and start another—2 minutes on rowing machine—and I had to leave because of the spiritual smokers there…I’ve been in dark places, violent places, and never been so uneasy like that, or so directly warned by God to “get out now “ for a spiritual reason. Counter these experiences with Planet Fitness: the floor is bright (not lighting—I get migraines from too bright lighting—I made it through my entire workout just fine without any shaded glasses at all, never noticing any bright light problems—a huge gracious thank you!!!). Bright as in atmosphere-you’ve mastered the “let’s get it” vibe (I’m 55, but I moderate a group chat with primarily young men 16-25, so I get the vibe lingo)(a little bit). You’ve downgraded the overwhelming colors a bit from where they were before when all the walls were bright yellow, good change. Yellow is now a nice accent, rather than an overwhelming main stay. In the 30 min work out area, it’s a bit much, but appropriate there. (If you re do that area, think about tempering it down with some black accents, please). The purple is good. I hunted and hunted for a standing calf matching and a glitter kick back machine, but realized that the seated calf machine with plates you have can do the same as the standing, so bully. The standing glitter kick back can be done on a cable machine, I’ve just got to figure out how. Thankfully, me and Chat GPT are buds. I was surprised that there were only one leg curl and leg extension machines on the floor. I ended up doing those exercises in the 30 min area, just using the rotate timing…waaaaay difficult at the end of my workout! I might have gotten better use from the PF app, but my membership wasn’t active yet…why did that not get activated right away? Come on, man! When is that going to get connected? When? Huh? When? I would like to try the Black Card membership stuff, but to get the first month free promotion I have to wait till the next day to sign up? What’s up with that? Come on, man! My son is a 19 year old young man who got a black card membership and has since fallen under the influence of his bio family. (We adopted him when he was 10 out of therapeutic foster care—he had a horribly traumatic childhood of neglect and abuse). Because of that, and the alcohol and drugs his no job brothers got him into when they were freeloading with him in his apartment (until the day before his pre-eviction legal notice arrived, when they absconded him), he lost both of his jobs, his internet, his phone and his apartment, all income, got several traffic tickets, and now is falling behind on his car payments. He has a one year black card PF membership. If I upgrade my UHC basic membership, can I take over the remainder of his black card membership? Please reply.
