This place looks like a pretty cheap deal to do winter running on their treadmills. Wondering if it's worth it. Like are their machines any good? Also I hear of this alarm that goes off if someone shows off or grunts...considering I'd probably be the fastest person training in this place, that wouldn't go off would it?
i ran on their treadmills a few times last yr. they get the job done for the price. and the alarm is just a gimmick haha i doubt it ever goes off. umm the treadmills i believe like most common onese can go up to 5 minute mile pace...the only thing is you might find out narrower and lacking in length in terms of WxL dimensions but nothing u cant adjust to since i assume you will be doing mostly easy running. i say go for it. plus there is a quiet room where you can just stretch too. you can even do your abs etc. after your run.
Planet Fitness is pretty far to the Richard Simmons/Oprah Winfrey end of the gym scale, but if it's convenient and cheap, then who cares? You will be something of an oddball, the skinny person running hard and sweating like a pig when everyone else is keeping it to a brisk walk.
They should let you do a trial workout, so you can test the treadmills.
Yes, very cheap, lots of good cardio equipment, including treadmills and ellipticals (good if you get injured). I went there for a couple years and liked it. $10/month was hard to beat. Never had to wait for a treadmill, and there were always in good condition. The fastest treadmill they had there went up to 5:00/mile, but I usually just did easy runs so not really an issue.
Oh, and the alarm actually does work, and goes off occasionally, usually when someone drops some free weights. It's fairly annoying. Don't worry, it won't sound off for running too fast.
