Re: KWR: planet fitness
my fh has a membership there and when i asked him what he thought, he said 'it gets very lonely.' i thought that was kind of cute. but otherwise, in terms of machines and stuff, he likes it.

I have a membership there, I haven't had a chance to go in the last month though, I like it there because they have plenty of machines and you never have to wait to use a machine

i have a membership there! It is super cheap and as long as you don't mind doing your own thing its all good. There are no classes or anything, that's why its so cheap. I have never been there when it is so crowded there are no machines, so you should be okay in that respect! It has multiples of all the good machines which is nice.
I used to kickbox at a karate studio but my my city work schedule doesn't allow anymore when I was doing that I was in the best shape of my life...i highly recommend! If anyone knows of a karate studio in Suffolk that has kickbox classes after 8pm I'd love to check it out!

they have a PF Black Card package thats 19.99 a month with unlimited tanning and unlimited guest priviledges too. i think all the packages they have are only 19.99 with no start up fee. im pretty sure u can cancel whenever u want too.... there's one not too far from me, so i think i might join..
ohh and monday thru friday its open 24 hrs a day which i love cuz i get outta work late some nights...
I belong to planet fitness. Havent gone in months. Its a very basic gym. No classes or anything just machines mostly. It can get a little mundane at times but they do have tvs you can watch. If you're looking to get a little cardio in your life it definitely gets the job done...

I have the black card and its great because on the weekends if we go to the gym FH can come with me for free. And when FH moves down here for good we wont have to pay for 2 memberships. I havent been able to go to the gym with school this semester being a PITA. But I love PF because they are open late durning the week. You dont get any classes but its worth it.

Re: KWR: planet fitness
I am a member of planet fitness. I like it a lot. I used to be a member of Lucille Robert and I think planet fitness is alot better. They have a lot of machines, they are always working and they are clean. If you like classes its not the gym for you because they have none. Otherwise its a good gym. They have late hours too (except sat and sun I think)

Re: KWR: planet fitness
I go to the PF in Carle Place. They have alot of machines. I dont usually have to wait for a machine (only usually the weights). They have TVs and the little plug things so you can listen to them....They're clean which is always a plus.
The tanning beds scuk there. Youre better off spending the extra money and going to beach bum.
If you want classes, then PF isnt for you. They dont have any classes.
At the one I go to , there's alot of younger kids (high school/early college) age, probabl b/c of the cheap price.
No real serious weight lifters there.

I also go to PF in Carle Place and I have to say my piece here....
I go at night, usually around 7-8pm. It is ridiculously crowded. Last night there was a line for treadmills, and many of the weight machines. Also, there are a lot of CHILDREN there lately - young boys i'd say between the ages of 9 and 13. I don't like that... i think it's very weird and isn't it unhealthy for young boys to be lifting weights at that age? Maybe I'm out of line and I don't mean to offend anyone, but it really bothers me. Also - I don't think they ever 'cap' the membership - in other words, they just let people keep joining without regard to how crowded it is. And when you offer a $99 membership - it is going to get crowded beyond belief.
At the same time, when I go on weekends in the morning, it is a completely different scene, quiet, no waits, no problems!!!
With that said, I think it's entirely dependent on what time of day you'd be going. Seriously. If you have to go at night, I'd suggest against it.
