Don’t get me wrong for the price planet fitness is everything you could want… cardio, free weights, and machines but I only go to planet fitness because it’s close to me. The planet fitness in bushwick is crowded at all times I don’t think I’ve ever seen an open smith machine I just have to wait out the people hogging these machines through my whole workout. Some days I literally just put off any bench or squat workouts until the next day because I don’t feel like waiting. This may just be an nyc gym issue but I tried out blink fitness and the waits are no where near as long. The issue with the planet fitness in bushwick is there are 4 smith machines total. Most gyms have a mix of squat racks and bench presses and sometimes even a smith machine on top of that. You leave only 4 machines and it’s every man for themselves. That being said planet fitness has all the basics and it’s so convenient for where I live. Im just dreaming for the day I walk into a gym and don’t have to wait hours.
