Apparently, the Planet Fitness gym model is doing very well. Its rates are considerably cheaper than the gym I go to, but I doubt I would be welcome at a place that is "Judgment Free." I grunt too much and I have a thousand yard stare most of the time. If I were ever hired to design a gym (the odds are against it) I doubt that I would come up with very original ideas. I've ranted about the value of unprogrammed space, but in many urban locations, such a thing wouldn't be consistent with staying in business.
While the gym above has an astonishing amount of useless equipment, the layout is okay--an open floor with relatively generous corridors between exercise machines. I wonder how often they activate the "lunk alarm."
