Ranking EVERY Gym In America! (Worst to Best) 

Being banned at planet fitness is truly a Jesse James West moment of all time.

that dude outside of planet fitness is exactly who I thought would be working out at a planet fitness.

I’m the manager at the Anytime Fitness you visited! Thank you for coming, I hope you had a great time!

You definitely can't judge YMCA based off of one. Some are thrown together pieces of shit in the basement of an old church on skidrow with like 10 pieces of equipment. Some are massive 3-story luxery gyms on the beach with an olympic swimming pool, water park, indoor track, basketball court, sauna, and like 5 different weight rooms. Lol.

"This gym literally saved my life!" - D tier

Dang bro that ending got me in my feels🥺 the OG home Covid gym

Not planet fitness banning you😂

1:45 Jesse's aura made bro tremble and drop his water bottle 😭

Being banned from Planet Fitness is like a badge of honor.

Realistically. Crunch should be in S tier. It’s the best realistic widely available gym for normal people who aren’t loaded.

The ending was really sending a message to me . Just like the “fancy all out” doesn’t compare to a place where u feel complete.. at home the origin Just like life somewhere, something doesn’t feel right (alone)doesn’t compete to anything that makes u feel welcome at peace at home 😊

The crunch receptionist letting u use the light thingy💪🏿🥳🥳

the lady at 23:18 tryna put the towels back while jesse is in the way

7:07 I honestly love the energy from that guy he found at the lifetime

I am in the middle of the video and just wanted to thank you, I have been very depressed for past 9 months and today was very very harsh, I just clicked on your video because I love working out and your videos are not just grunting and lifting, I am commenting because you lifted my mood up , I genuinely smiled and it genuinely means a lot to me. Your personality is inspiring. Thank you.

11:38 -Huge forearms, what have you been doing every night -uhhh

Next video: Trying every commercial gym in the universe

I have the equinox hudson yards level membership (global whatever) and I have to agree - the gym is always jam-packed, there's only like 4 racks (2 of which are sort of deadlift racks anyway), and the vibes are sort of so-so. People working in the lobby, people working in the restaurant, people working on the terrace. It's a solid gym, and the wild part is that they HAVE the room for like five more squat racks, but they just have open space instead. That, and NONE of the benches at any equinox in NYC have safety bars, so if you're trying to max out or PR, you have to find a spotter or just try not to die. But there are other equinoxes that are newer, nicer, and better equipped. Printing House, Rockefeller, plenty of alternatives. Hudson yards is just for the view, and definitely not for leg day.

Day pass for 250 is wild asf

That response from the first guy anddd the fact they banned you just shows what kinda place Planet Fitness is!

Props to the guy that said "i wanna make your VLOG perfect!" 🔥

John casually Trying to give Jesse a Bro hug😂. Shoutout John

1 like = 1 push up

The last scene to this video is epic. The legendary home gym. Such a throwback…

this man’s work ethic is so admirable. keep going jesse!

Employee: "You can people watch" Jesse: "That's allowed here?" Me: 💀😂

That ending…just loving it ❤ Great video!

I just realized Jesse looks like buzz light year

0:26 well thats rude to a guy thats more ripped than you

3:46 That guy is a real one. Also Planet Fitness whatu doing?

Best editing of all your videos so far :)

9:40 that hat handshake was awkward af lmao

Fuck! Tears at the end. I'm 42 and you've inspired me.

Crunch Fitness in Orlando is awful.. Don't fall for it

This was probably one my favorite videos you’ve made by far, it was cool how it went full circle for you and shows how far you’ve come as a person and where life has taken you Much love to you Jesse! ❤

I go to the YMCA and even though mines crowded and the machines are old, the vibe is great and it has all the essential machines

ever since you became a gym shark athlete, you've been cooking

lets be real home gym just beats all of these

If you haven't been already, you should visit Alphaland in Missouri City, Texas

Everybody saying gyatt is literally the reason that brain rot has become a pandemic 💀💀

14:34 almost every bouldering gym has these, they’re called campus boards and you’re supposed to hop up to the next ledge with both hands at the same time. Most bouldering gyms also have hangboard where you just hang to train finger strength.

The best gym is the one you can get to the easiest. So obviously home gym is #1, but then whatever has a squat rack, a couple of barbells, dumbbells and cables, and is closest to your house or work.

Rating music is stupid, everyone wears headphones so they don't have to listen to the music the gym plays, and when the music is too loud it sucks because you have to crank your headphones.

I honestly thought you were gonna show the OneLife that I see you at every once in a while when you’re home (you’re usually not filming). Kinda surprised you didn’t, but I’d say OneLife is like a B+

it is an amazing video there are so much emotions inside, huge work have been put to create this gorgeous content i trained in a gym for 3 month then i quit and start to workout in the home and i have been working out in the home for about a year with only dumbbells, pull up bar, resistance bands and with only these equipment i could get in shape and feel better thank you for making me remember this

I'll do 1 for every likes

Love these ''trying gym'' videos been waiting for one, one of my favourite type of videos! haha

Crunch was the ONLY gym in town that had time for me the day I walked in. I've been a member 2 years now, love that I can have customer service and the red light! Classes are phenomenal too.

I think the ranking is pretty spot-on although I do have a planet fitness membership and a 24-hour fitness membership I have been to other gyms including golds and when it comes down to it I keep those memberships that I do have just for convenience since I race and sometimes before race I just want to get a quick burn or if I need a shower but during their busy times I do not want to touch the places and if I had a gold's near me I'd probably have that membership again because it was pretty awesome being there as for places like equinox or anything that claims to have the biggest and best of things and has a membership over $50 even I take that with a grain of salt because more often than not when I've been to places like that the vibe is exactly how you explained it in the video the people come off as very snobbish and stuck up and in their own realm which I think defeats the sense of community that weight lifting has for most people. Overall great video

“I’m not gonna LIE, they BANNED U” 🤣🤣 Weaaaaak

What a outrow man damn . Home is where peace, serenity and a sense of belonging is .

Love your videos james you really inspired me to start working out

"There is no tomorrow!" - live now, today 🙏💪

Ok review tho you can’t rate an entire chain from just one location. Per EQ NYC: Hudson Yards is NOT NYC. An embarrassing neighborhood of NYC at best. A view to the suicide vessel is not in any way a laudable feature. It’s full of ego minded folks who would not want you filming them. The saunas are removed because too much yanky yanky going on. Their other locations are much worse. Like hospitals. Half the people there forego essentials to pay the now 300+ monthlies.

I really like this video, I saw a vulnerable side of you and appreciate that you shared that with us. Great message!

7:08 broccoli gang! hahahahaha

Love the message at the end brother! Nice video ✨🤌🏼

I think part of the reason i could never get a "premium" gym membership like lifetime is it's just missing a lot of equipment that serious weightlifters need unfortunately, like the guy in the video said. It's more about the amenities and cleanliness than equipment

26:09 im not crying you are 😭

“I don’t wanna be in your stupid tik tok!” 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m with homie 😂😂😂😂😂

Whoever is editing these videos is insane

Planet fitness is run by businessmen who think they know bodybuilding…. Imagine having about 20 treadmills, 10 bikes and all that Then 3 barbell racks ? How is that sensible?

Hahaha planet fitness is the only gym within 50 miles of me, so you take what you can get. Honestly ive never had a problem there with any weirdos and there are actually quite a few of us who are jacked and dedicated at the one i go to at least. Lots of beginners too but thats nice to see as well.

Jessie ur channel has help change me for the better thanks for everything ❤❤❤ Also GYATTTTTTTTT

Shoutout John!

High quality videos as always👏🏾👏🏾

Jesse’s Covid vids from his home gym were the driving factor to make me start lifting and what made me fall in love with it. Truly an inspirational man. The real camamdo ninja.

You need a part 2 and come back to philly to hit The Sporting Club at the Bellevue. Pickleball, basketball, golf, squash, turf, cold plunge, sauna, hot tub, and so much more

Ending was so corny but wholesome 😂

Germany next?

3:34 the timing of that and then what you said about nobody looking totally counteted it 😂😂😂

I go to 24 hour fitness shit is disgusting the locker room is nasty and everything is always broken

Hit the like button if you're a Golds gym member! Golds gym FTW!

I’m active duty military stationed in Germany. I’ll be moving to Pennsylvania next month and have been looking for a new gym. This video actually helped a lot bro 🙏🏾

GYATT !!! Bro do a video of you doing judo pls?

S tier gyat

Jesse is the best fitness influencer in this generation!

that ymca is my gym bro! i thought it looked familiar, so i looked it up, and i was right! i cant say i blame you though for your rating

NEW JESSE VIDEO DROPPED

1:55 Has this guy ever heard of earbuds? Does he not realize everyone is already having one of those in their ears? TF???

How can people afford to reguarly train at equinox 💀

I honesty love my EōS Fitness!!😊 mines got a great vibe-rating as well!

América is not ONLY US stupid, it's México, Perú, Belice and more ❤

17:04 he likes them old '_'

Equinox is the worst gym! The membership is like $300+!

No way I lol. I got an add of you building a personal gym for somebody on this video

This video is useless and unscientific. Rating each brand based on a single location and its employees is meaningless. You need to visit multiple locations and average the scores to make this S tier chart useful.

26:00 ah yes the home gyms i have fond memories of starting out at home watching Jesse and getting inspired to never give up

The end, made me cry a little! This guy is genuinely a vibe guy!

He is the most extrovert person i have ever seen

I was feeling nostalgic there at the end. The countless videos I've seen that were made in the home gym. Where Noel became popular and the best videos came from. Definitely #1 gym.

22.49 ain't that the place where chainsmokers filmed their song

Planet fitness truly is trash

did not expect to get emotional at the end of a gym tier list video!! awesome stuff jesse :))

Who's body is your head on in thumbnail !?!?! 😅 Great video as always!!

"Lets Go" Why must you continue to say that. Where are they going?

Dude no offense but there's no way you're this cringey in real life

sam sulek works out at planet fitness

Real ones know the original video cover

I agree on planet purple is the worst
