After launching
an aggressive marketing campaign, a Planet Fitness gym opened in my city.
Planet Fitness is a 24-hour fitness club with hundreds of locations throughout
the United States. This franchise offers a modern place to work out without the
hostile environment of other gyms; whatever that means.
During January,
more than one thousand of locals enrolled in the new gym, including men
sporting beer bellies, middle-aged housewives, and unathletic twentysomethings.
None of them look like they have lifted a five-pound dumbbell in their lives.
How many will survive February?
I visited my
city’s Planet Fitness during its opening week. The floors and bathrooms were
immaculately clean, and the working out area was full of state-of-the-art weight
machines and dozens of treadmills. However, I decided not to subscribe. During
January, they had a tempting introductory offer of $0 enrollment fee and $10
per month, but you must sign a 12-month contract and consent to automatic bank
payments. These contracts scare me.

When I decide to enroll in a gym, I will stick to an old-school gym. Nothing can replace the atmosphere of an old gym with its rusty machines, loud grunts, and hardcore fitness users.
*I wouldn't use a ; here. I would use either a — or a ().
**"sign up" or "join" would sound more natural here.
Great vocabulary, especially: locals, beer bellies, twentysomethings, immaculately, old-school, hardcore.
Excelentes recomendaciones Matt. Muchas gracias como siempre.
