New Year new you? Most people like to use the New Year as a starting point to recreate themselves. Like most of you fitness and health are at the top of my list. Last year I decided that I needed to stop being complacent about my fitness. Since becoming a vegetarian I lost a pretty good amount of weight but I still felt like I need to tighten up, literally! I have already discussed how you can get an effective workout at home, using minimal equipment and fitness apps. I personally love the gym, lately I’ve been there every day at 5am.
I understand that not everyone is a excited as me to hit the gym. I was once that girl that floated around aimlessly from machine to machine without a plan and I never ever dared to pick up a free weight. So if you’re thinking of joining a gym and want to make a easy transition Planet Fitness maybe the answer for you.
I had the pleasure of attending the Planet Fitness MIA event this month. Myself and several other bloggers had the opportunity to tour the new Planet Fitness located at 9930 Johnson St. (at the corner of Palm Ave. and Johnson St. next to Winn Dixie). Planet Fitness provides a comfortable, non-intimidating
environment where people can relax, work out, and not feel like they are being
judged by others.
The new Planet Fitness in Pembroke Pines features:
- Over 100 cardio machines
- Full locker rooms equipped with day lockers and showers
- (30) 50-inch flat screen televisions
- (2) full circuit strength machines
- 30 minute express circuit
- (3) tanning booths*
- (2) tanning booths*
- (2) Hydro-massage beds*
This gym is absolutely beautiful! I had a fantastic time interacting with the staff who treated the group to a thirty minute express workout. Can you consider a non-stop rotation of continued strength and cardio exercises a treat? Lol.
This workout is perfect if you are not into spending hours at the gym. Everyone started out at a numbered station either a aerobic step or a strength machine. When the clock starts you begin exercising, either a cardio exercise (step-ups, mountain climbers, jumping jacks) or a strength exercise (chest press, preacher curl, leg curl). We rotated after a minute alternating which allows you to recover then get that heart pumping again. This was a great full body workout, which I felt when I woke up the next day!
The Planet Fitness 30 Minute Express workouts as well as other fitness classes are included in both levels of membership along with fitness training. Below are the two memberships offered by Planet Fitness, not bad right. The Black Card membership includes unlimited guest privileges, which is perfect for partner workouts.

I can't believe how cheap this gym is!! So jealous, we don't have options like that here. I pay $17/mo for a small fraction of what you're getting, and that's AFTER my insurance kicks in $20.
P.S. — sweet guns!
I love this gym! I go to the one in my town
#Guns (that is all lol)
The 30 minute work out express sounds great, I've been thinking about trying something similar at home but it sounds so much more convenient to work out with other people while someone else keeps time – could help keep me moving to the next machine instead of just sticking to my cardio.
I would like to see more clean eating recipes winning this would be great i'm trying to lose 60 pounds so winning this would help me I've been wanting to check out this gym for ever thanks for the chance 🙂
I'd like to see more 'on-the-go' clean eating recipes 🙂
I would like to see more "clean" recipes.
This year I have changed the way I'm eating to become healthier. Winning this gym membership would be perfect to help tone and lose weight. I would like to see recipes and meal planning on clean eating, because it's still hard to know if I'm making the right choices with what I'm eating.
The Ann Taylor skirt looks pretty good, but it's not black and white. It took me a couple of tries until I got it right myself.
That sounds like a great outfit! A vintage tee would probably look great as well.
Thank you Melissa!
