I've heard Planet Fitness is consumer-friendly: has a no-contract option (loving thought of that!!) and is $10 monthly. Am looking at 410 & McCollough (sp?) location. Has anyone here used that particular location? I'd prefer no contract because I can't guarantee that I'll keep using it as reliably as they'll be deducting from my bank card. Seeking the good, the bad, and the ugly about said gym. Thanks Y'all!!

Hubby has been to that location since its near his work. It seems smaller than the other locations at Fredricksburg or Bandera. The facilities are kept up, machines are in good order, not much of a crowd right after 5pm after work but I dunno after 6 pm. We have not been in about a few months ever since the Bandera/Huebner one opened up and using the Fredricksburg one instead. Try the guest pass thingy and see if it's something for you. They give a lot of tours, see staff give them all the time when we're working out, about 2 or 3 average on a 35 minute workout session.

do they do classes, etc at planet fitness? Or is it just a gym with no frills?

I'm trying to decide between curves and a regular gym & am also looking at the planet fitness on 410 near northstar mall.

They have some classes going on (I've seen a sign up book and schedules) at various times.
Maybe they can email it to you or tell you over the phone to save you a drive.

They have "group training classes" which are up to 4 people. Not regular spin or aerobics-type classes--Gold's Gym seems to have a pretty full schedule if you're looking for classes.

Wanted to bump this thread and see if anyone has any updates on new locations coming up.

The Marbach and 410 opened up a month or two ago and they are adding machines like crazy!

So far in S.A., we have the following locations (excuse my spelling on streets):
- 410/McCullough
- Bandera/Huebner
- Marbach/410
- Nacogodches
- Fredricksburg/410

I have a membership with them for when I travel into the upstate NY area, but have only used the location near North Star Mall (which is quite nice).

It's cheap. Friendly. No frills. Exactly what someone would need to get into shape without the crap that blows up a monthly membership fee. I recommend it for people who want a 24-hour gym that's got the color scheme of Pee Wee's Playhouse.

I like the color scheme; it's better than drab dark colors that other gyms have where the equipment kinda blends together. The colors make me happy, it's the yellow, like a bright sunny day unlike the days we've been having lately!

Quick question on this...is the membership just for one location (as I see they are franchises) or can you take it to any location? There are two close to my office that I was interested in going to and one close to home...so it'd be awesome to take the membership to all of the locations but I also wouldn't cry if I couldn't take it to all of them.
