Planet Fitness- Austin

I really like this gym above others is the basic theme of the place, no judgement. To me, this means freedom from meatheads. This is a place designed so people can get and stay in shape, not be a bodybuilder so if your looking for a place to bulk up, keep looking. The rest of us looking to get in shape can enjoy just fine. 

I have been here for two years and trained for two marathons there and find it perfect for my needs. Plenty of cardio machines with a balance of strength training machines. I also like the idea for circuit training stations they have set up except for the steps...too many steps!! I just don't do steps but to each their own right? It's probably great if your recovering from knee injury or not quite up to par in running. Also plenty of free weights up front. 

I see other reviews here and on google about poor customer service and I don't share that opinion. Everyone there has been polite and courteous to me. The place is clean every time I've been in with the exception of the occasional person who can't be bothered to wipe the equipment down when finished but I think every gym has those people. 

Overall, this gym always gives me a pleasant experience when I'm in. The treadmills have hookups so you can plug in your headphones a watch one of 10 TVs in front of you while you run. The price is great also, very much worth it.  This place deserves a look if your south and looking for a place to shape up.
