LA Fitness vs Planet Fitness

I had a membership at LA Fitness for a couple of years. They had every piece of equipment I needed and more. I really liked the classes they offered. I also loved the options they had for payment plans, it was really helpful

Overpriced and money hungry. LA Fitness pressures people into getting yearly contracts. I have never felt so pushed to buy than when I went take a tour of the facilities. Facilities are extremely nice but I felt very out of element for a new person to working out. Employees were also very rude and I will not be back.

I love planet fitness! Their gyms have plenty of equipment, they’re always clean, and the service is always friendly. They do a great job of applying their “judgment free zone” motto. I think the black card is worth paying extra for just for the massage beds, not to mention the other perks that come with it. Definitely my go to gym.

Until they offer other payment arrangements other than checking accounts, they are corrupt. They keep taking money even after people cancel. This is why they want a checking account because most people won’t shut down their account to stop the payments quickly so they get more money. I just want to pay for the year up front but they don’t want to do that. Every other gym in town will do this so I guess I go there instead.
