Has anyone join Planet Fitness?

No I work out at home I have a swimming pool I also walk and play tennis, I’m not too keen on workout facilities. I have joined them before but after the initial newness I cease to go as there is too much effort involved. There also is quite a bit of competition that I do not enjoy.
 
I've had a membership there for a couple of years. I'll admit that I can come up with any excuse under the sun not to go to the gym. When I DO go, though, it's very enjoyable.

If I go at the right time of day, it's mostly the over-55 crowd, so I feel right at home in my baggy work-out clothes and huffing-and-puffing like an old steam engine. Locker rooms and showers are clean. The equipment at my gym seems to be in good condition. There's an area with a bunch of different machines that you use in order for a certain amount of time; it's supposed to give you a complete workout in 30-40 minutes.

The personnel there are very nice and helpful. At least at my gym, there aren't any classes like Zumba or anything organized. You can get a free "assessment" when you join, but you're pretty much on your own. You *may* be able to pay for individual training but I haven't seen anything like that. They actively discourage loud behavior like "screaming" or "grunting" like you may hear some of the serious weightlifters do at more serious gyms.

I think some locations are open 24 hours.

You can't beat $10 a month. There's some sort of yearly $35 charge, too.
