I remember when PF was only ten dollars a month. SMH. It was so affordable. Twenty is a bit much. I’d rather work out at home.

its like the fast food or lottery tickets. a buck was easy to causally grab stuff with no thought about it. two or three bucks. ok some thought now.

It has been a hot minute for me, but I think the lower $10/month gave you access to everything but their stupid lounge reserved for the higher $20/month tier. You could cancel the $10 anytime but not the $20 tier without paying an extra buyout fee. Also looks like it was increased from $10 to $15 in 2024.

I moved to a place without planet fitness and it was hell cancelling the higher tier since they insisted you couldn’t cancel over the internet or phone, only via certified mail, and even then they kept losing my letter. The gyms around me start at $40/month so I do not go to the gym anymore.

  what the heck is the lounge? Like can you avoid walking through it and do you lose access to any excersise equipement or shower facilities?

    The lounge just has things like a sofa, tv, a red light treatment thing, automatic massage table/chairs, stuff like that. It is completely avoidable. I’m a dummy who signed up for it for the automatic massage stuff, and it was usually broken/malfunctioning when I used it >.<

    yeah the red light and massage sound maybe kind of worth it but honestly anything where you can’t just leave must not be great because after all they feel the need to keep people from leaving. If it was good that would be unnecessary.
