Anyone belong to Cardinal Fitness or Planet Fitness?

Good morning!

I am in the process of finding a new gym, my membership to Ballys expires in about 2 weeks.

Do any of you belong to Cardinal Fitness or Planet Fitness?  Right now Im debating between those 2 gyms (leaning towards Cardinal Fitness).  I just wanted to see your own reviews before I make a final decision.

Let me know the good/bad.  Thanks!

Re: Anyone belong to Cardinal Fitness or Planet Fitness?

  • I just joined Cardinal fitness and I'm very happy with that decision!  They have a special right now til the end of the month with a $20 membership fee rather than the regular $100 fee.  They do however, charge a $20 fee to have the payment come out of your account automatically and I don't think there is another option for this, but oh well.  The price is right -- $19.95/month.  I can always get on a machine and I go either right after work around 5-6 or later around 8-9.  I have a friend who goes when they open in the morning and she says they are empty then.  The gym is always clean and the staff is friendly.

    Let me know if you have any other questions and I can try to help!

  • I belong to Cardinal as well.  Though, honestly, if there was a planet fitness in my area, I'd probably go to that...the only thing I didn't like about it was that they never allow grunting or anything, so lifting weights is not key there.  And it's pretty obvious.  I lift too (not a lot!) so that kind of deters me from planet fitness.  The reason I'd probably go there is that it's cheaper!  Though Cardinal is cheap as well!  I have no issues with them!
