Resource Details Below

Great new gym in Southtown Plaza. They also have a location in Greece and plan to open 4 new locations in the Rochester area soon.

You can join online at the link below. And if you sign up BY April 7, 2009, you can try their $10 a month, no contract, no commitment membership with only $1 fee to join.

They have tons of great cardio equipment, some nautilus, they feature a 30 minutes circuit workout that is strength and cardio, and other various equippment like free weights and some exercise machines.

The staff are real people, down to earth, friendly and they want real people for members. I signed up today and the club was busy, though there were still plenty of availalbe machines of every kind, and the members were young & old, some with middle aged paunch, some heavy but everyone I talked to said they really did enjoy the "NO JUDGEMENT" atmosphere about getting healthy. This club also discourages the 'super-jock weight lifter' and 'spandex queens' in unique ways.

It's clean, the music over the system pumped into the gym was a bit loud and hard to hear anything but the beat, but all the cardio machines have earphone jacks to choose from about 15 different big screen tv's all playing everything from movies to news that you can plug into instead.

They also have massage chairs and tanning beds, as well as beverages and well appointed locker rooms. Bring your own towels and toiletries. No hidden fees that I could find...hope to see you there.

Oh yeah, and this location is open 24 hours a day Monday through Friday! So all the other nightowls care to join me for a group workout night?

Hello CH112803, I don't know if Planet Fitness does gift certificates, but it's a good idea. I did just get a special offer from them int he mail, $99 upfront for a year if I want to buy a gift membership or if someone wanted to give me a year, prepaid. That's even a lot cheaper than the normal $10/month.

If you ask the management at the club, they might arrange it so someone could buy the annual membership for you. Or, since they deduct the monthly dues from a credit card or bank account, maybe someone could tell the club to bill them for say 3 month or 6 months, then have it revert to your card? Just tossing out ideas, hope they help. :)

I'm really interested in touring this gym. It's not far from where I work. I'm really curious where the other 4 locations are going to be. I actually live out in Newark and it would be nice to have something a little closer to make a weekend workout and/or a late night in case I need to rush home first.

Also, I'm wondering if they do gift certificates in case someone asks what I'd like for Christmas. =D
