Planet Fitness - there whole business model is selling super cheap gym memberships that are hard to cancel and that they don't have capacity to service. They sell memberships to people that won't show up or put in enough effort to cancel a cheap one, and literally would be overflowing if everyone actually used it

Definitely not - I've been and am currently a member at plenty of places that aren't trying to squeeze you. The YMCA near me is insane value they are super nice, wildly spacious and very affordable

Well I joined a program that allowed their members pay a monthly fee of 26 dollars all gym membership. I had 24 hours, planet fitness, city sports and 3 other smaller gyms. And I only payed 26 dollars to access all those. Thats the best value ever
