I have a membership at Planet Fitness. I had a metal water bottle with me and I accidentally dropped it. The employees set off the lunk alarm over that, cause it made noise.From what i have heard the employees never use it.
It is just a relic from a marketing campaign.
Planet Fitness is a gym for beginners. They don't have true barbells, but they do have plenty of weight machines, tons of cardio equipment (treadmills, elliptical, exercise bike), and they have dumbells that go up to 80 lbs.
You can get a decent workout there. You can't do any barbell exercises, but dumbells work for lots of exercises. I have that membership along with equipment at home, like a Olympic barbell.
There are some "gym bros" out there. But no true bodybuilders or serious powerlifters there. But for most people, who are just trying to stay or get in shape, Planet Fitness is plenty good.
Also, many locations are 24 hours a day and they have a place to shower. For a housing insecure person like Rusty, Planet Fitness is really a good membership to have.
