As a weightlifter, I'm not a fan of planet fitness, but most of that stuff isn't true anymore if it ever was. I've never been a PF member, but I've been as a guest many times. They got rid of the pizza mondays and bagel tuesdays with the pandemic. And they just raised the base price to $15/month, although the $10/month advertised price was always misleading cause if you pro-rate the annual fee it was already ~ $15/month. So now I guess you'd be paying $20/mo with the annual fee factored in. But the lack of heavy free weights is true though. If you're looking for a gym at the same price point, I'm a fan of the Crunch chain although I've never been to the Atascacita location: www.crunch.com/locat ions/atascocita
truckerhat : I've never been to Planet Fitness but I know that Sam Sulek pretty much exclusively works out at them. If you're a weightlifter I assume you know who he is so I'm sure you can def lift heavy enough at PF seeing what he does lol. I myself am a Crunch girly at the Atascocita location. I am a woman so I'm not lifting crazy amounts but my weightlifter husband is. For $15/mo Crunch gets the job done. I'm sure PF will do the same for KW. I googled and it says PF doesn't have squat racks or benches which is kind of wild and the dumbbells only go up to 80 lbs but that's is still plenty for the average person. The dumbbells at Crunch go up to 120 lbs & we def have squat racks & benches.
I wonder if this Planet Fitness will be open 24 hours? If yes, then there may be alot of KDC complaints. Many RVers, truck drivers, car campers, even homeless will buy a membership so that they can take their showers. There will also be some stealth campers in the parking lot. Or maybe tent cities nearby. For just $20 or so per month, you can buy a membership which allows you to use ALL their locations. I'm surprised not more KDCers aren't already complaining. Let those pet peeves begin!!!!!
NeverPayRetail : Some KW residents just like to have reasons to btch & moan. Nobody wants to occupy empty building space so they complain, yet when a company buys the space and occupies it they complain. Be grateful there's someone willing to invest in Kingwood and support this location so it doesn't go under like so many other Kingwood businesses have. Planet Fitness is a good thing. It's affordable and has a goal of wanting to help people get healthier. Win win.

Heathur : Don't really know him, but more power to him. My point is that when you're paying for a gym membership, you're paying for access to equipment. And most people who are serious about weightlifting are interested in using certain equipment that PF doesn't have. Truthfully speaking, most people could meet their fitness goals without any equipment at all by simply eating less. But that depends on someone's individual goals. Also, claiming that someone gets fit purely off one thing reminds me of the parody workout plan from Nathan for You: www.youtube.com/watc h?v=LkNxvUrWQ_Q
truckerhat : Lost 40 lbs by not eating after 6pm.No change to exercise or diet. It's not that hard. People just don't wanna be told that they can't eat 8 piece of pizza at midnight.
