What's the biggest Planet Fitness membership mistake?
The biggest mistake is signing up for the Black Card when you only use one gym. The Classic plan is half the price, and the Black Card's extras like guest passes and club access are wasted if you never use them. Start with Classic and upgrade later if you actually need the perks.
How do you decide if a Planet Fitness membership is worth it?
- Check the price at your local club online or by calling.
- List which amenities you actually use: just weights and cardio, or also massage chairs and tanning.
- Compare the Classic and Black Card monthly costs plus the annual fee.
- Sign up during a promotion to skip the startup fee, and choose the plan that matches your usage.
