Also keep in mind that they must sign a 12 month contract and pay an annual membership fee. | |

PF does not require a contract, and some of the PF gyms have very high end Ergoline equipment included, not just base beds. They do however, have a very exploitable weakness in their business model. | |

Rep Power: 14 | Re: Joined a Planet Fitness..unlimited tanning Since posting this, I found out there are 4 beds..one stand up, 2 Passions and one Affinity...I have no idea what the standup is, but assume, it too is an Ergo... For less than $20 a month, a well worth tanning investment IMO |

Rep Power: 21 | Re: Joined a Planet Fitness..unlimited tanning Actually if you do fitness only you can pay $10 a month with no contract but to get the black card membership that gets you tanning and massage it is $20 a month and a 12 month contract. The ergoline the use is a 40 lamp 100 watt with facials and a 48 lamp 160 watt booth. both very basic systems. |

Membership commitments vary per location and not the same system wide..some location waive fees..most locations in the Atlanta area are as I mentioned...left up to local franchise owner. Local sites are always running membership specials. I joined under one, where no commitment and no sign-up fees were part of it. And for the extra $10 a month unlimited, the beds you mentioned are far from 'basic systems'...they get the job done, and I have no doubt leave an impression on all who use them, considering the cost. http://www.planetfitness.com/membership-types | |

The standard booth is a Sunrise 480 (9 Min): •48 X 200 watt Turbo Power UV Lamps. Many location use even bigger units. |

Rep Power: 14 | Re: Joined a Planet Fitness..unlimited tanning I would imagine Kooky is referring to their (PF) lack of detail and attention in the tanning end, such as lotions offered, lack of cleaning beds after use...the little 'customer service' amenities tan salons offer, would be lost in the 'gyms'. Personally, I doubt this. From my observation, they have an extensive inventory in lotions. Locked behind the counter in a glass display, they looked like DS bottles...hard to see from my view point. The tanning is setup separate in this particular gym, have no idea how other PF's have theirs. It appears to be run as a separate entity, just like the massage rooms...I may tan sometime to see if I have to wipe the bed myself before and after use. There is an 'attendant' at the counter, so they may do it...I get the impression, it is not 'self-service'. |
