My doc gave me some news. I need to go lose some weight and am looking for a gym in pittsburgh which wont break the bank or isn’t overly saturated all the time. Anyone have any suggestions?

Planet Fitness would not cut it for me.
Gyms are a huge waste of time and money, IMO. There isn’t a muscle in the body you can’t work with simple body weight exercises. A weighted uphill run over poor terrain is is a better workout than you’ll ever get at planet fitness. A good pair of boots and a strong rucksack is all you need.

I work out at home with free weights, I ride my bicycle a lot and do brisk hikes on the trails around my house. Its difficult in the winter, but we actually have more good days than bad most winters. Of course the most important thing is to change your eating habits.
