hm interesting. I don't even know if theres a planet fitness near me anyway. Where I live now its either corporate gyms or gyms dedicated to a certain cult of exercise.
I miss this gym I used to go to, it was a small place owned by husband and wife with 1 treadmill and 6 squat racks and a whole room for Olympic lifts. The clientele were either extremely nice giant beefy dudes who'd compliment form on a good day and give great advice on a bad day, or older ladies doing power lifting classes led by one of the owners.
The gym was so good that it made every other gym feel like a hotel fitness center and I've still yet to get a membership elsewhere and it's been like 5 years.
I lifted throughout my late teens and intermittently through college while riding several miles a day on a bike usually full sprint to get to class. So i built some kind of base fitness level that's still hiding somewhere. I got under a bar for the first time in 3 years and was still able to squat 225 so I know its not all gone.
I have always hated physically being in a gym though. Before I left for college I built a power rack out of 4x4 posts in my back yard with removable safety bars and multiple height adjustment just so I didn't have to go to a gym. If I could just lift logs and drag them around for a few hours each week, I'd prefer that to going to a gym.
