Why does /fit/ hate planet fitness? I get that if you're

>no didlys

Ok fatty make sure you attend all the free pizza days so they can keep you on the hamster wheel of no results

>>38088690
>I just want to lose weight.

Gl losing weight with bagel tuesdays and pizza fridays or w/e stupid shit they do.

>>38088713
I'm not going to participate in their free cake giveaways or whatever they do. It's close to my apartment and cheap use of machines.

>implying everyone eats their food

>>38088773
You don't sound very convincing given that you expect machines to lower your weight.

>>38088869
Are you fucking retarded? You expect fat people to start with free weights? If that were thr case then the free weight section would be so over run, more so than it already is.

You cant make fun of someone for actually trying to better themselves at tge gym, you can however make fun of the people looking into the gym.

OP, as long as youre not a retard who eats cake at the gym, PF sounds good for you.

Anyone else fall for the Fitness First meme?

>>38088869
>Elliptical machines don't burn fat
Why

>>38088690
>>38088773

Then fucking use the damn gym.

Planet fitness is fucking awful in my opinion because they have a terrible attitude towards "fitness" and health and you can't even lift heavy weights there, which is something I, and a lot of people, care about. It may not be so important to people that just want to lose weight. Personally I would never step into a PF even if my life depended on it but if you don't care and it's cheap then go for it, dude. Just because you workout at planet fitness doesn't mean anyone on this board will think less of you (since you asked why "we" hate PF I assume you care) seeing as this is an anonomous syrian migration forum

>no diddlys

also

>removed the squat racks for being 'intimidating'

>>38088690
It's just not wise to put yourself around the temptation of those terrible foods they offer. I'd stick to just running, cycling or swimming in the real world if cardio is what you're looking for.

Planet fitness is pretty great for the price. They almost all have DBs up to 70lbs. If you can't build mass doing lunges with 140lbs, 70lb split squats, chins, lateral raises, and 70lb incline bench, you're either a lanklet or already an advanced lifter.

As for the lunk alarm, I know ASL so I just pretend I'm partially deaf and tell them I can't help it.

>>38089334
That's actually a pretty good idea

>>38088928
>>38089045
He should eat less most of all, not expect machines to magically lose his weight. Also, I never put OP down saying he isn't trying, that salt's coming from you friendo:)

>machines

>>38089571
Of course I'm planning a calorie deficiency. I have a pretty good food regiment and I'm sticking to it. Introducing cardiovascular exercise will only help.

>>38088690
depending on how cheap it is and my lack of options I would have no problem going to planet fitness

the thing I hate the most is the lunk alarm and their general marketing strategy of marketing to fat SJWs

>>38089334
ASL?

That's what I told my friend. I have no problem with you faggots grunting and throwing weights. When I exercise I focus on what I'm doing. People who say it's distracting never played sports. Concentration is key. It's just the cheapest and when I get to my target weight, I'll be more than happy to move on.

People could lose more fat and keep it off if places like this didn't tell them to be cardio bunnies. Yes cardio helps you lose fat but do you not think lifting makes you burn calories too? A good weight routine supplemented with cardio 2-4 times a week on a good diet won't just make you lose weight, it will help prevent loose skin, build muscle that helps with keeping the fat off, and in general is way better for you than just running for an hour every day. These places don't preach real fitness, in fact they actively kick fit people out for intimidating the whales. This is why we hate it, because it is a system designed to keep you fat and out of shape while telling you it is ok.

If you work at that place, and your name starts with an N. Some fatty is trying to get you fired.
It really attracts the wrong type of people.

You realize this isn't an issue if you have will power, right?

>only free weights burn kcals and cause muscle growth

Youre a weak troll

>>38088690

If you do any kind of real workout, even with the baby dumbbells, they will shit on you.
They've harassed women for even LOOKING fit while using the treadmill.
Theres an article on MSN about it.

Also, machines suck for weightloss.
Just watch your diet. No need to pay the purple jew.

>>38090009
Are you literally retarded? How do you get "Free weights help lose wight!" from "Drop the food". Dense motherfucker.

>>38089675
Then I'm rooting for you bud. Go for it.

Is this the American version of Ben Dunne? Cheap franchise gym targeting the casuals?

I'll happily put up with the nonsense considering they're 3 times cheaper than other gyms in my area.

Chose one and only one

>>38090135
Because you bashed OP for wanting to burn fat. You implied that the only way is free weights.

>>38090213
"you implied" no I didn't, your retarded brain THOUGHT I implied that shit. If OP wants to get /fit/ good on him, but merely using lifting isn't going to do that (he already mentions he has a diet plan). Also, form his post: "cheap gym with plenty of machines to make you nonfatty". Kys please.

>>38088713
>Gl losing weight with bagel tuesdays and pizza fridays or w/e stupid shit they do.

If your not a fucking DYEL you can have a bagel and a few slices of pizza and hit your macros.

Although most people at PF are dyel. Not everyone though. A lot of people don't have options due to location.

I give up. No use arguing with the mentally impaired and illiterate idiots.

How am I moving goal posts? Its literally what you're saying. You sound like /pol/ getting flustered. Maybe you're just a faggot.
