• a lot of them make it very hard to cancel your membership. I've been to two gyms already that required you to send a certified letter to their HQ just to cancel, and they will refuse to reimburse for the month.

• planet fitness isn't the only place that gives free food to new customers. I've seen and heard of a couple of places give new folks (who are clearly not healthy) s*** tons of coupons and junk food for free.

• they always push some bullshit on you to buy. every time I had to walk into a gym, the first thing you see is some storefront with a bunch of s*** you don't need. they're clearly preying on folks who don't need any of that stuff and don't know better.

• dont even get me started on those timed deals and discounts for membership.

and on and on. im glad I'm starting to finally get a home gym together after years of corporate gym BS. much better on my psyche and I don't have to deal with other folks to get some exercise in.

there are douchebags in the gym sometimes, but i’d say like 85-90% of the people in any gym i’ve been in have always been supportive of each other, especially the heavier people who were trying hard to loose weight. they always (rightfully so) got respected and helped

Most of the people who take fitness serious enough to be a douche about it aren’t lifting in an LA Fitness

Look smart ass he posted he’s finally got a home gym set up

Not that he was a member of a PRIVATELY OWNED SMALL GYM like I said

Now never reply to me again, “Shane”

He's literally posting to emphasize why you shouldn't go to a home gym, and you agree with him

I don't know why you're trying to make an argument out of it

that's what I was saying though lol. we need more community/local gyms. a lot of these smaller gyms tend to be a lot pricier than your chain ones or too out of your way. it'd be nice to have communal gyms like how we got communal pools and s***.
