As some of you can tell from my recent Facebook posts, I’ve gone back into trying to get my 5k times down. As part of that, I looked for a gym locally that could help me with that goal and I ended up deciding to go with Planet Fitness, and i’ve been so far very happy that I did. I think for some reason I had been looking down on them, but actually it’s a great gym for me. They have a ton of locations including one very close to me, they’re absurdly cheap and they have nice, clean equipment and plenty of it. Yes, they lack some of the perks of higher-end gyms, but that turns out to be stuff I don’t care about anyway. They have very clean showers, too. The only thing I miss honestly is the hot tub, but I bought one of those for my house (more on that when it shows up).

Anyway, if you have one in your area and you need a nice clean safe place to work out for cheap, give it a shot. I was happy I did.
