Went to join Planet Fitness this afternoon .
Was handed an I-pad info. needed - name, address, date of birth, home phone, cell phone, bank account routing number, account number, bank card number , expiration date, 3 digit CVC card verification number, Email , employer , 2 emergency contact names numbers,
I had to agree to all the terms but never heard or saw the terms or i couldn't precede .
Erased bank info. , email , and fake phone number i gave them handed fat girl the I-pad - told her it was too intrusive .
Asked if I could just pay in full for a one year membership -NO .
Asked how can I join without giving bank info. ? YOU CAN'T .
Three more things they'd have 100% of my information SS# , fingerprint , mugshot . LAF .
Some fishychitt going on with an operation like that - makes zero sense .
And the SPECIAL OFFER came out to 4X'$ what the Ad stated . .
Looked around while sitting there in amazement that all these man-bun boys and girls dole this info. out freely . And people wonder how their credit and banking gets ripped off .
Where I sat with the I-pad [interrogation-pad] was 6 tables w/4chairs each table - over half the seats contained man-buns/honeybuns looking at their phones - appearing to be trying to lay down in the small aluminum chair .

In all seriousness. I had the same issue with them.
Talk to a manager, they will set it up for you and let you pay by cash/check. At least you did when I was using it.

I've been a Gold's Gym member for years, can't recall 'em asking for all of that. All they got on me is a credit card that has pretty good fraud protection.

I'm a Gold member now - membership expires soon . Planet is a 1/4 - 1/3 mile from me and cheaper [i thought] - Golds is 4 miles . Golds has never turned down a check for a years membership VarmintGuy is likely right - they're doing something with all that information they insist on getting . Bocajnala , piss on that place - didn't like what i saw in there anyway .

I had to agree to all the terms but never heard or saw the terms or i couldn't precede .
Erased bank info. , email , and fake phone number i gave them handed fat girl the I-pad - told her it was too intrusive .
Asked if I could just pay in full for a one year membership -NO .

Where I sat with the I-pad [interrogation-pad] was 6 tables w/4chairs each table - over half the seats contained man-buns/honeybuns looking at their phones - appearing to be trying to lay down in the small aluminum chair .

I experienced the same thing a few years ago and also offered cash in advance which they refused. Told them I was the wrong demographic, they were looking for indoctrinated retards from their own generation.

I've belonged to Planet Fitness for three years, don't remember having to give all that info. Membership is $10.00/month deducted from my bank account. Don't believe they offer other than the monthly membership.

I work at a gym and we ask for almost the same amount of info. The reason they ask for all of it and a social is so the gym can collect the money owed if you default on payment. I'm sure a lot of the larger franchises sell personal info though. We will allow people to pay in full or go month to month without providing a SSN. The planet fitness near us only takes bank account info and will not take c/c's. Credit card #'s change all the time, most people bank account #'s don't so it's easier for them to collect the monthly dues.

It's the 21st century. Virtually all of my bills and all of my income from 3 different sources are automatically deposited or drafted from my checking account. My federal taxes will be automatically drafted on 4/15/20, and my state tax refund will be deposited any day now. Lots of people have access to your stuff already.
FWIW my wife and I both joined PF yesterday too. The gym we've been using is costing us about $300/year each. I've been writing a check once/year. Now we're paying $10/month for each of us automatically drafted from my bank account on the 17th of each month. I CAN pay cash each month if i bring it in by the 10th, but I'll just let them hit my checking account. It is a lot easier for them to be able to deduct from your bank each month than have to deal with collecting monthly payments from every member. In order to get in for $10/month they have to cut expenses somewhere. I'm sure you can find a gym that will let you pay yearly, but expect to pay 2X or 3X as much.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

We road trip a lot and I will use a gym probably 1/week. I have never been refused cash payment for a "guest membership" for a day or a month. Crossfit Boxes will welcome you w/ open arms. If you have room in your house investigate the efficiency of a home gym. We have a treadmill, elliptical and a bike as well as free weights, kettlebells and rings. Privacy issues are important and I would guess that the manager in charge of the bottom line will accept cash, check or money order. Hint, get a Nordic Track treadmill and a few kettlebells and become a monster. mike r
