They do a good job with their spaces, but sometimes they're a bit lame.
They don't always have squat racks and use smith machines instead (overpriced and worse replacement for the squat rack), and use alarms is someone accidentally drops a weight... some dumb Planet fitness emotional coddling/exclusion stuff.
Visited one in Toronto way back and thought it was disappointing that they essentially copy Planet Fitness rather than just build a good gym for less money.

People here flocked there because it was a familiar brand and it was nostalgic.

Really? I stopped by the Jollibee's again a while back and it kicks KFC's ass. I also asked a lot of phillipino aquaintances what they thought, if it's just a "Timmies" type nostalgia that they enjoy or if they "love it".
They love it.
