  • You can lose some weight in 21 days, but you can’t get shredded in that time.

While you can lose weight in 21 days, it’s almost impossible for most people to actually get shredded in 21 days.

7 Planet Fitness Facts, Statistics & Trends for 2023

February 3, 2023 By Daniel Louwrens

Planet fitness statistics image

Planet Fitness has been around since 2003 when it opened its first branch in Florida. Since then, it’s been a leader in the fitness industry as a more accessible option compared to others.

That said, the original owner of Planet Fitness actually sold its namesake in 2002 to Chris Rondeau and Michael & Marc Grondahl.

While the idea of a “friendly” gym with a “Judgment-Free Zone” may have seemed like a good idea at the time, many disagree wildly. When looking at the state of fitness culture today, it’s hard to see how Planet Fitness would still be in business.

According to Ibisworld, there were 112,676 gym, health, and fitness clubs in the USA in 2022 — an increase of 2.7% since 2021. They also forecast that this number will continue to grow.

But can the same be said for Planet Fitness? Has the PC culture of 2022 created an environment for a soft-spoken gym to succeed? Or is the fitness environment just too aggressive?

Let’s look at the numbers.

Planet Fitness Doesn’t Have a Bench Press (Here’s Why)

January 31, 2023 By Jess Billitz

planet fitness bench press

Planet Fitness doesn’t get the best reputation among the weightlifting community.

They have free pizza on the first Monday of the month, and free bagels on the second Tuesday of the month (probably not the best way to go about carb-loading).

There’s a “lunk alarm” if any gym rats grunt too loudly, drop their weights, carry a gallon jug of water, or even wear a tank top (Translation: You have to lay low if you plan to go hard).

And there’s no bench press.

That last point—the lack of a bench press—makes the $10/month Planet Fitness membership virtually useless for anyone serious about bulking up or weightlifting, in general.

Let’s talk about why Planet Fitness doesn’t have a bench press.

when to start cutting for summer

Every year, as spring begins drawing to a close and the first signs of summer are on the horizon, you can count on two things: The evenings will get longer and lighter, and gyms will start filling up with people looking to get “beach body” ready.

Now, as we come out the other side and summer fades into our rear-view for another year, the majority who failed to achieve their goals will start bringing out tired tropes like “there’s no point now” and “next year.”

The question you need to ask yourself though is, “Why wait?”

In order to ensure that you do, in fact, reach your beach body goals by next summer, it’s essential you work out exactly how long you need to achieve them.

That’s why, today, I’m going to help you determine exactly when to start cutting for summer, so you don’t find yourself in the same position this time next year.
