Planet Fitness charges $10 per month per person. However, the closest Planet Fitness is 20 miles away in Ocala.
I had a Planet Fitness 150 yards from my home in Baltimore, that's one reason why it took me so long before I joined MVP. What sold me on MVP are the classes. I can go a couple of blocks to Seabreeze Rec Center and use their exercise room for $365 a year, but it's nothing more than a small scale Planet Fitness. At MVP there are organized classes going on all day that are given my college educated trainers. One class I take is Group Power on M-W-F at 10am. It's 55 minutes of using weights and moving briskly with very little rest. I hate it when I'm in the class but so happy when it's over. My wife use to go to Zumba class one day a week at Sterling Hgts Rec Center. Now she goes to Zumba 5 days a week and the class is twice as hard.
