Because its focus and business model is just about franchising. They don't have enough free weights or weightlifting area to take seriously at all. They offer candy and bagels and pizza at the front desk. Their gym is 80 percent cardio machines. Cardio machines in the majority do not make a gym complete by any means. The saying you get what you pay for applies here. Poorly maintained. Disinterested staff check their phones or talking amongst themselves ignoring you. No gym is a judgement free zone by default so that motto is inaccurate to say the least. You go into a gym without looking for approval or a pat on the head and put the work into a great workout with consistency and the only judgement you need focus on is your own.
That stinks u had a bad experience, I've always enjoyed everything about planet fitness.
