just depends on what ones goals are for lifting. if you just want to shape up they they are probably fine as they cater to the "im just here to look good but not get big" crowd.

last year at this time they came out with a whole ad campaign around how they dont want "serious lifters" and "people who do steriods" at their gyms.

I did workout at a PF before and with the db's just going to 80lbs I just simply did more reps on the db presses and curls. As the PF I went to had 2 squat racks I was able to get in squats and for deads I did rack deads as regular dl's weren't allowed. The smith machine I did smith pulls and heavy incline presses.

In all I did manage to get a pretty good workout by most standards

It sucks. If you are just starting then fine, or if you want a nice runner/swimmer build. They bought the gym I was at and took at the weight out. They asked any of us that were heavy lifters to stop coming, and let us out of any contracts we might have had. The gym was a power gym before they bought so most members quit right off. I try to stay because they opened early, and cost nothing. Did not make it long.

And the no dead rule is reason enough to boycott them.

I am a lunk and proud I guess.

Unless you go under 100lbs on all of your lifts and arent looking to ever get big enough to impress anyone, dont bother wasting your time or 10 bucks a month. I do here that they have free pizza once a week though lol
