Current Events > Anyone use planet fitness as their gym?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I do and I love it!

Staff is friendly, people are nice!

I love the pizza parties. I go all. The. Time. I dont cook so the food helps haha

My place also does doughnuts and coffee sometimes. I usually miss those but had it a few times.

I'd be stoked to eat a donut before I work out. Most gymgoers aren't soccer moms trying to lose weight. I think pizza and donuts is a great idea

thinking about it.

how much is the mysterious "yearly membership fee" I heard snuck into the end of the ad today? is it added to each month's $10, or is it all at once?
---

No, I like having real workout equipment.

I used too, but I didnt like the equipment and quit going after a while

I get 19.99 a month with the 10 bucks start up free

I use Blink Fitness. Same equipment, but generally quieter workouts even on weekends.

If it's like at Blink they charge $45 once three months into a year.

thanks. I just looked at their website. when they say charged to a checking account, are they actually expecting my bank info? or does the card attached to the account work.

because there is no fucking way, and how the fuck did anyone else agree to that.

Do you understand how bank accounts and debit cards work?

No I have my own bench

I despise automatic, recurring payments, and have thus far successfully avoided them. They have a storied history of abuse, and I want no part in fighting to get back money that was stolen from me.

in a perfect world, I would here by just buying a treadmill, but I have no space for it.

Then set it up with a credit card so if they charge you improperly you can dispute it and not have the money withdrawn from your bank account during the process.

that's what I was asking.

Plus applicable taxes. Billed monthly to a checking account. Annual Membership Fee of $39.00 plus applicable taxes will be billed on or shortly after July 1st. Membership can only be used at this location. This offer has no monthly commitment.

these are the conditions on their website. the bold made it sound like credit cards (or even debit cards) may not be an option.
