I've belonged to many gyms over the years, but my favorite (and current one) is Planet Fitness. There's something here for everyone, all at a very affordable price!

Suitable for all ages and interests, there's a variety of cardio and strength training options. Aerobic machines include treadmills, ellipticals, steppers, and stationary bikes.

For strength training, options include free weights, weight machines, and plate-loaded equipment.

There's also a dedicated circuit training room. The exercises include both aerobic and strength training for a quick, 30-minute workout.

Aside from all the amenities, Planet Fitness is hands-down the cleanest gym I've ever been to! And it provides disinfectant for wiping down equipment and hand sanitizer dispensers. These are throughout the gym. Staying healthy is much easier when you're not spreading or catching germs!

Planet Fitness offers two membership levels:

1. Classic - standard membership, with unlimited access to your home club.
2. PF Black Card - access to any club, bring a guest anytime, massage chairs/beds, PF+ premium digital workouts, and much more.

I opted for the PF Black Card so I can bring my spouse and access any Planet Fitness across the country. Regardless, I encourage you to try Planet Fitness out.

There's no long-term contract required. You can cancel your membership at any time. And best of all, you can join Planet Fitness for just $1 down when you use my exclusive link!

Get healthy and feel great!

Cronometer is a food diary that provides a comprehensive database of foods (so you don’t have to enter foods or nutritional values manually) and a detailed display of information. In addition to the standard breakout of calories, carbohydrates, protein, and fat amounts, it displays vitamins, minerals, added sugars, and more. Cronometer also allows for logging exercise, weight, and other biometrics.

Best of all, it comes at a very economical price – free! There is also a “Gold” level, but even that's a low annual fee. Cronometer has both a web-based interface and mobile apps (iOS and Android). I like having both options so I can use my laptop (larger screen for my aging eyes) when I’m home and the mobile app for when I travel.
