Planet Fitness was exactly what I was looking for in a gym: \n- Inexpensive (I joined for $10 a month, I believe it was a limited time promotional special)\n- Convenient (open 24 hours on the weekdays)\n- Nothing fancy (I don't like to pay for a pool, a sauna, tennis courts and whatnot if I'm hardly ever going to use it. Planet Fitness is just cardio machines, weight machines, and freeweights. They've also got tanning booths if you can't get enough sun in Arizona for some reason. )\n\nTheir machines are well kept and better than anything I've used at other gyms (LA Fitness, Pure Fitness). The gym is very clean. I can't vouch for the locker rooms because I prefer not to use public showers in general. \n\nThere are always machines available to use, the place is never uncomfortably crowded or loud. The staff will help you out with a particular machine if you need it, and they have a personal trainer on staff that you can set up appointments with (charged separately, since it's a separate company).\n\nThere's some debate among the management, apparently, as to whether or not they should ban talking on cell phones in the gym. I'm all for a ban, cause I really hate having to listen to people talk on their phones too loud (especially when they just sit on the machines to do it...and don't work out). \n\nAll in all, I like this gym more than any other I've been in. I feel comfortable there and can zone out like I want to.
