Fine with me.

You know there were fit humans before there were gyms right?

>>40567036
Depends if you can cut the wiring to the lunk alarm.

But if you want to be /fit/'s hero, get the lunk alarm activated, get injured, sue the FUCK out of them and get the lunk alarm disabled franchise wide.

Nigger you don't NEED a fucking gym to get fit. Calisthenics have been a thing since forever and it's great for you. You don't get the benefit of heavier weights and isolation is harder or non existent but if your goal is just fitness it's more than enough. Just do it A LOT. Planet fitness really can't offer you much, you're better off saving your money and working out at home/outside. They don't have a barbell for goodness sake

Yes, you can.
How to not set of the lunk alarm
>Don't be a dick
>Don't fucking yell
>Don't drop the weights
That's it. You can do a good amount of starting fitness exercises at one, generally most of the stuff you will want to do. If you want to progress further then do it when you realize that PF isn't fitting your goals.

All i have and all you really need is a barbell and weights. If you need to save some money, calisthenics until you can get those.

For calisthenics, dips, chins and pushups are the way to go. Only real problem are shoulders and legs, pistol squats are not enough and neither are handstand pushups. The weight becomes suboptimal after a point, luckily youll have bought a barbell and plates by that time.

Now the real "problem" is no stands and no bench. But its not really an issue, you can hack squat, split squat... To replace squats, and floor press to replace bench press.

The rest my friend is a lot of lifting, dieting, sticky reading and shitposting. Good luck.

Git gud.

It's fine if you're just starting out, most of them only have dumbbells that go up to 75ish, and none of them have barbells though. the only weights you can "slam down" to trigger the lunk alarm are in the smith machine and leg press and if you're slamming either of those you deserve all the public ridicule you get

Pretty much this. If you are just starting then 10/month for what you get at PF is pretty damn worth it. It will also help you get in the habit of actually fucking going to a gym, which will come in handy later down the road.

If you are just starting out it's worth the 10 dollars a month.

PF gets a lot of shit, but most of it is people who are from video taping people doing stupid shit at a gym.

without roids calisthenics are useless except as an accessory to weightlifting

The only PF I've been to had a leg press with 45lb plates, row machines, and pull down machines, benches and dumbells up to 80lbs. You can make a lot of progress with that kind of equipment.

But, really, they need squat racks and barbells. They're just being stupid by not having them. Apparently some PFs used to have them, but it doesn't fit their dumb as shit image, so they were removed.

Most have a 7 day trial or something. That OP should probably do, even then most will let you walk in and around just to check out the equipment and see what they have. Hell some near me even have bunch of good shit.

>>40567138
Nooo...that is my plan.
I'm gonna drop a 60lb barbell on my face doing skull crusher volume work when it frightens me

>>40567318
If we go by your logic, if you can call it that, then weight lifting is useless without steroids.

Get a part time job at a gym. I go to a really nice YMCA, but it's $50 a month, so I got a job working there once a week for like 4 hours collecting towels. I get a free membership out of it.

>So.. can i get in shape and build some decent muscle in Planet Fitness?

yes you can. stop listening to the memes

PF sucks, but it's more than enough to put on some serious weight.

>>40567592
>just get a job at a gym

I think 10 bucks a month would be much easier, hell at least OP would get pizza a few times a month if nothing else

>>40567248
they pull the lunk alarm on simple grunts, not even loud ones.
