Comment: Hi Bob, You probably don\'t remember me but I had to reach out to you after reading your article/comparison on Planet Fitness. I cracked up all the way through it. First, let me just say that there is NO comparison between Gold\'s and Planet Fitness it\'s apples and oranges. The only reason why anyone who\'s dedicated to fitness can even tolerate that place including myself, is because they are dirt cheap and I can always run outside or ride my bike for a workout. Here\'s some more to add to your list from a Planet Fitness Member (shamefully admitting it) They are dirty, the dust resembles the ruins of Pompeii that I walked in Italy. The mgmt does not exist nor do they care about any concerns The place is FALLING APART, the equipment is broken and not replaced, they haven\'t had matching ankle straps for the past 3 months. The cardio equipment – 5/10 machines say out of order. The cables sometimes only one side works, this is really funny to observe, people getting read to do flyes and realizing that one side is broken and theres NO SIGN to tell you that! The staff act as personal trainers-cleaning crew-equipment repairmen. (they ARE very nice though, I feel bad for them) The best part of it all, the owner knows exactly what he\'s doing, feeding obesity and hoping that no one shows up so he can collect his pay, it\'s disgusting and not at all comparable to what Gold\'s is. I\'m sorry that financially it made more sense to go there then to stay with your team, as a fitness enthusiast, I can throw rocks in my backyard, lunge around the kitchen or do anything in the name of saving a buck these days…. Hope all is well with you and your staff and I\'m certain that as the lack of attention to detail continues over at your \"competitor\'s\" place, more people who actually don\'t eat bagels, pizza or tootsie rolls will make their way back home to Gold\'s, maybe even me…. Have a good day, Send Cindy my regards if you have a moment!

The benefits of physical activity and a balanced diet are well documented and form the basis of many public health recommendations. This is because each of these factors can independently influence risks for many chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and some forms of cancer. Some research also suggests that exercise and diet interact to influence health. For instance, exercising after short-term fasting (such as before breakfast) may increase the amount of fat burned. Similarly, consumption of a meal eliciting a low blood glucose response prior to exercise may also boost the use of body fat (instead of glucose).
