Planet Fitness - McDonough Yelder Ossie (The Great Oz): The gym is clean and they’ve added new equipment, but they still operate with the same old Planet Fitness mentality—no gym bags, no tripods, no stringer shirts, and no “booty shorts.” If you train seriously, they still find ways to gym-discriminate based on what you’re wearing. They’re trying to attract more serious lifters, but until they truly change the culture, it’s really just a gym you go to when you have no other option or if you’re older and prefer a more relaxed environment.
LA Fitness - Atlanta Trisha: Out of all the LA fitnesses, this is the one I feel most comfortable and at home at. But we really need at least one more hip abduction machine. The one where you push your legs outwards. I’ve waited upwards of 15 mins to use the hip abduction machine. It’s ALWAYS occupied. Very frustrating. And a hip thrust machine would be amazing too. There are a million bikes that never get used and are just taking up space. These bikes should be replaced with extra equipment. PLEASE consider this!
Also it could be cleaner especially near the free weights area. Sometimes I avoid eye contact with the floor because there’s so much buildup of dirt on the ground surrounding the benches. I can tell there has been a BIG improvement in the cleanliness, but there is room for more improvement.
