Why I Love Planet Fitness

Hi I'm Jacqui! Mike and I have been traveling perpetually for the last 6 years. I love Planet Fitness because they are nearly every place that we are on our travels.



There are 2,227 Planet Fitness locations in the United States as of 2022. I have the Black Card so I have access to all of their gyms and they are located in the United States, Canada, Dominican Republic, Panama, Mexico, and Australia.



Also the Black Card gives me access to the Spa area that includes Tanning Beds, Beauty Angel, and several styles of Massage chairs and beds.



When I arrive at the gym, I plan to get a full muscle strength training, and then 2 to 5 miles of cardio.



I get my cardio in at the gym or on one of our beautiful adventures with hiking or walking the quaint towns.



I usually start off with the Beauty Angel, aka Total Body Enhancement. The red light can boost the skin's ability to heal itself by up to 200%. The skin absorbs the red light which can power up the skin cells to heal itself. It can improve blood flow to deliver oxygen to areas that need



Lifting weights is important for me and all women over 50 because our bodies naturally loses muscle mass so we have to rebuild it with protein and weights.



Exercises that use heavier weights at low repetitions result in increased muscle bulk and power. Whereas, exercises performed with lighter weights and higher reps lead to muscle toning and muscular endurance. I prefer lower weights and higher reps.


After my workout, I hit the message chairs to help shift the nervous system post-workout to a calmer, more relaxed state. This will help to calm down from a great workout, whilst relaxing the muscles at the same time. I usually listen to Chakras Meditation or Binaural Beats while I'm in the massage chair.



Shower time and just like that I'm rejuvenated and feel amazing!

Many people ask how we bath while traveling so much, ta-da. When we're in an area with no Planet Fitness, Mike and I will generally go hiking for several miles or walk around a cute town. Many of the small towns have showers available at the laundry mats for campers and also many camp sites offer showers.



And after my shower I feel amazing and ready for a new adventure!
