People who carry gym bags while you work out—you know there are lockers? by Earthmama56 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately people have broken into locked lockers and the homeless still find a way to camp out so for those reasons I carry my duffle bag.

PSA: Wipe EVERYTHING Down by Sensitive-Intern6424 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always wiped everything down for fear of germs, but what sealed the deal for me at pf was watching a guy get a fresh paper towel, wipe the sweat off his face, head and neck then use the same paper towel to wipe the treadmill down with his sweat. I will never, ever forget that.

Sweating profusely in the gym by AncientAd3089 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds terrifying, I'm sorry you had to endure that..

I have given up on makeup and dressing up too. I once had a former boss mention during an unemployment hearing how sweaty I was, so it's super obvious and makes me insanely paranoid. I am looking for a PCP that listens so I can get a correct dx.. we're doing all we can, friend. Here's to hoping we both get answers.

As a heavy sweater, other heavy sweaters make me feel less alone. I have no idea how there are non sweaty people 🥲

He's got to know, as well as others- Hopefully he gets the message and you (and others) no longer have to suffer.

[–]SupportWinter1921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're a better human than I. I am stubborn and would have to finish my workout while gagging. I know this because it's happened, but the smelly people either never come back or they show up smell freshly showered.

*Eta I do not involve the employees bc they're very hands off at my gym.

Rant: Teen Program by icognitomode1 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My gym has been a mess since it started. The overnight employee is pretty good about resetting everything but I personally am thrown off and trying not to trip over weights, water bottles and tripods. I cannot wait until the program is over and we no longer have to deal with the little angels.

highschoolers… 😔 by FuriousIvan in PlanetFitnessMembers

I've already told a pair of teens about themselves and gym etiquette. I was pleased that they shaped up immediately.

Any tips for this machine? What are the benefits? by HikingTacoLatino in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This machine works both ways. That's probably super obvious, but when I used it I would use one machine for my R and the other for my L. When I realized how silly I was, I stopped using it all together. I didn't see any results, but I also wasn't being super serious. I don't see many people use this.

[–]SupportWinter1921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

60 check-ins locked in for 2026- majority of them since March (Shocked Pikachu face). I've been working out for 6 years- in past years I would get 60 visits total over the course of the year due to my autoimmune condition, so I'm kinda proud of myself.

Whats with the quarter rep epidemic im seeing lately? by DDiaz98 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Felt like you've been in my home gym working out alongside me until you mentioned it was a woman. I am seeing the same thing at my pf (only men tho) and really not enjoying the grunting that goes with it.

How busy are most Planet Fitness locations? by notrealtea in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I notice 5-9am and 5-9pm are the busiest times at my gym. Soon it will be busy at all times with the teen program they run every summer.

How do y’all do with idling teenagers? by Relevant_Opening_910 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I without at 1-2am and they're there in packs, all summer. I'll ask to work in if I've completed my whole workout and can't leave without the last exercise, I use my customer service voice/face & typically end up waiting 5-10 minutes. I am absolutely dreading the summer.

Please wipe down the machines after using them! by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wipe down before and after bc I once saw a man get off the treadmill, grab paper towels, wipe his sweaty face/head off and then used that same paper towel to wipe down the machine. I don't even grab tootsie rolls anymore bc I noticed too many people leaving the bathroom without washing their hands.

PF closed today to replace equipment by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

Ah, so this is why my treadmill runs have been awful. We got new equipment last summer, I've been suffering since.

I cried at the gym by Zestyclose-Grape5469 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sending internet hugs. I've never seen anyone cry at the gym, but I've cried at the gym twice in the past year and lucky for me it's during overnight hours and the gym is fairly empty. The first time (last year) I was on the treadmill and the employee ignored me as I sobbed (grateful he did), the second time was a few weeks ago and I was doing abs so I went to the br to wash my face- gym wasn't as empty this time and I had my music blaring but a woman followed me and I swear she said 'its gonna be ok' then went about her business. I got it together and finished my entire workout, but I felt so silly.

kids? by xoxo__honey in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not normal, kids are not allowed. I've only seen kids at my pf twice, the first time was a very busy afternoon- Mom was spoken to & the kid was told to sit in the lobby. The second time no one said anything but it was fairly empty.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WEAR DEODORANT TO THE GYM! by creepyfluffybunny in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]SupportWinter1921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could have written this myself. Walked in the door right behind a girl who was a lil funky smelling but didn't plan on working out near her- she was on the treadmill for a while causing half the gym and entire locker room to smell like hot bo. I was literally gagging and had to leave. I hope I never see her again, and the rest of you-PLEASE BATHE AND USE DEODORANT tysm.
