@@aethylwulfeiii6502 hey, there! I did notice that some locations didn’t have the black adjustable step, but that is what you’d use to perform the box jump.
I’ve passed by this contraption on my way to the 30 minute circuit room and have been curious about how to use it. Thanks for making it less intimidating! Now I’m excited to try some of these exercises. 😁
I appreciate your video! I’ve been too embarrassed to ask anyone how to use this and have not found any videos that give details like yours. Now I feel less intimidated!!
Hi, Amy. Thank you so much! Appreciate your kind words. I was hoping this video might make people become more familiar and make them want to try it out. So I’m glad it does! You’ll have fun with it. Enjoy!
Canadian viewer here, My town just got a PF maybe 7 years ago but in all that time ive never given them any real consideration given the online opinion of them. But I gotta say after watching a few of your videos im really considering signing up im impressed with the variety of equipment.
I joined PF about a month ago. Walked by this area plenty of times then decided to try the ropes wondering what everything else did. It's really too bad that PF doesn't have YOU on its website to help explain things to its own customers! The app is ok but some might like the computer to see better with maybe taking notes and such. TY. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this informative and easy to follow video. I've recently joined up to Planet Fitness and as someone who hasn't stepped foot in a gym for 8+ years I felt out of my depth. The rig equipment will be my main focus, as well as cardio, as calisthenics is my priority. I certainly feel that i'll be less intimidated to explore the rig equipment at my next visit to PF.
Could you please explain the weight on the cable machine in the section? I’m confused as to what weight I am using. For example, on one plate is says 7.5 on each plate….so does that show lbs or kg…and does it mean I’m lifting 7.5 or is it 15? I’m confused.
Hi, E! I understand the confusion. It’s a little strange that they list the number twice. Lifting the 7.5 - 7.5 plate is 7.5, not 15. Each plate is 5 pounds (with the exception of the top, since it’s a half plate weighing 2.5 pounds). So it goes 2.5 -> 7.5 -> 12.5 etc. Hope that helps!
Hey, Paula. I’m not sure when these were first introduced, but I’ve noticed that some of the locations that didn’t have them before now do! As functional fitness gets more prominent, it’s likely something they want to standardize. Oh yeah, some mornings I work out with a hoodie!
@@KevTheTrainer The long ones that wrap around below knee. I want to do exercises to move side to side, forward, and backward due to knee clicking a few months after meniscus surgery . Thanks !
you know these are serious pieces of exercise equipment. Like you can get straight up get ripped off of Calisthenics alone but having these is substantial. Maybe one day PF will do away with their lunk alarm and bring in more free weights. With that being said everything I've seen of planet fitness so far shows enough equipment to get not only strong and fit but seriously big with the right diet. Mind you I'm talking about bodybuilding and not powerlifting.
Submitting our “separation” from Planet Crowdness here in Howell, MI, today. Bench availability in the DB area is a joke. Sure, lots of cute purple machines and cardio equipment out the wazoo, but that is all that’s (usually) available. Their business model is to cater to the “deer in the headlights” newbie and also those who don’t return but are too lazy to submit their separation and keep on paying…. Not gonna miss that place!
Thank you for making these videos, I want to do step ups but didn’t want to use a bench! Thought I could use these but didn’t wanna break anything or myself 😂
Have you used the PF 360 before?!
Nope but I will now!
Not yet! Your PF looks so empty, I’m jealous
@@cali_capri yeah!
@@Aesthetic_Al 6am on a Sunday!

This video is underrated, thanks for making it so complete and informative.
Thank you so much! That’s really nice to hear. I’m glad this could help!

Me too!
Same!
Same !
Same here
For me this room is less intimidating especially early mornings as nobody uses it

This video is by far the most put together video ever. Very informative. Appreciate you explaining everything
Excellent job on explaining all of it. I feel much more comfortable going to that area after watching this.
Thank you so much! I’m glad this could help and make the 360 comfortable for you to try out. Enjoy!
I have been going to Planet Fitness for the past 3 months. This is my next challenge. Thank you for explaining the different things

Thank you for explaining this section to a beginner. I’ve only been able to use battle ropes but now I will try all of the PF360😊💕
Hi, Aj! Thanks for watching. Now you know how to go beyond battle ropes! Enjoy your workout!
I am not surprise at all that i have a question about Planet fitness you are the first video I get. Thank You for the Help
Best video ever!! Thank you. Love how you name the equipment and show different exercises to do.
I was terrified of this thing. Now maybe ill try it. Thank you

I love the 360, easily my favorite gym equipment! I always call the step platform the box jump platform. Thank you.
Thank you for this!! Very helpful!
You’re welcome, Marcella!
just joing PF and your channel has been so helpful, thanks

Definitely trying this out. Thank you
Just toured my local PF facility and was very curious about that area and now I'm even more excited to use it.
Thanks for your video. I'm trying it this week
😎🤯🥳 Solid Bro! Thank You!
Thanks, Jeff! And you’re welcome!

Intimidating machine lol thank you!!
Thank you! Answered my questions on how to use the ropes.
Great video
Thank you!
Best teaching vidéo thanks a lot 😍
Thanks, Lalaichy! Happy to help!
Would have been good to show how to adjust the dip bars and platform.

Oh, thank ya so much for explains that. ❤❤
Thank you for this!
I’ve used it and love it
Happy to hear it Martha! Which piece of equipment did you enjoy most?
Good video!
Thank you, wegngis!
What are the Heights of the different numbers for the Step Up Platform
The pull up bar is way too high for me to reach! my 5’4” self can’t even jump to it! 😭 any tips??
Me too! Why is it so high? Did you find a solution?
I went to Planet Fitness years ago but it didn't have this. Off topic I am surprised you can exercise in a hoodie.
Hey, Paula. I’m not sure when these were first introduced, but I’ve noticed that some of the locations that didn’t have them before now do! As functional fitness gets more prominent, it’s likely something they want to standardize.

There could definitely be improvements on the rig for box jumps.
Question how high is each level in inches on a box jump because I wanna know how high I'm jumping I can do a box jump on level 6 tryna put it up to 7
Is this the same as the functional training?
Is there an area you can connect leg band to for leg raises etc, ? thanks
Hey, Vick! Are you referring to the long elastic resistance bands or the smaller ones that wrap around your thighs?
@@KevTheTrainer The long ones that wrap around below knee. I want to do exercises to move side to side, forward, and backward due to knee clicking a few months after meniscus surgery . Thanks !
I find that the trainers at pf usually use this area
Do they still use lunk alarms? Can I sometimes grunt when working out hard?
What is a lunk alarm?
@@animula6908it's an alarm Planet Fitness uses to warn someone if they are slamming weights, grunting, or look too "intimidating"
I can’t even stay stable on the half ball I wobble so much it’s harder than I thought
Now if PF can just enforce the 30 Minute Workout area. Almost always when I do this I get diverted due to people just randomly doing sets on machines.
Wont slamming balls on the ground set off the lunk alarm
I wouldn't be able to do any of the exercises without making any noises
So wait, the lunk alarm didn’t went off for slamming the ball but when you do the weights 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
😂 *insert confused nick young meme*
How long should you use battle ropes? How many sets? How many dead ball slams? Im Clueless....😂
you know these are serious pieces of exercise equipment. Like you can get straight up get ripped off of Calisthenics alone but having these is substantial. Maybe one day PF will do away with their lunk alarm and bring in more free weights.

Aaaaannnnd someone will be sitting at one of the stations looking at their phone.
Resting between sets, writing down their reps, or looking videos like this maybe. I do all while resting between sets.
Like how there’s nobody in the place when you’re doing all this. Should do these tutorials when the gym is open and have to wait to use it.
And how it’s a station and another person shouldn’t just come take over the TRX area you’re working in.

That sounds lame! I’ll stick to using it for the pull ups.
Canceled my membership... GO WOKE GO BROKE
This place is a joke
I would never join PF. It’s too woke and they allow filming inside.
We don’t care bro
Hahaha what a snowflake 😂😂 “it’s too woke”
I imagine every time you pass by a PF you shed a conservative tear
Thank you for making these videos, I want to do step ups but didn’t want to use a bench! Thought I could use these but didn’t wanna break anything or myself 😂
Thank you! I didn’t know that rope was called TRX lol I been trying to look it up and nothing. This video was great🫶🏼
This was so helpful!! Thank you!
