Does the gym Planet Fitness, accept teenagers into their fitness program? I'm 15 years old. And I've been looking for a gym to workout on.

Which Fitness Centers/Gym in a Melbourne, Australia have a younger demographic? I am looking for a gym fitness center in Melbourne who cater for younger (18-25) members - I've been to gyms that seem to attract more 'mature' clients and didn't like it. Pricing is not an issue but I definitely want to avoid ones in the 'trouble' suburbs. Preferably gyms that are not male-dominated; the silent 'Who-is-the-bigger-caveman' competition is something I'd rather avoid. I refer to gyms where 'incidentally' there are less elderly clients perhaps due to the suburb/location.

Do you think gym classes should stress individual fitness over team sports? I remember when I was a kid being the unpopular kid that nobody ever wanted on their team, and I've known many people that have been turned off exercise entirely by school gym classes. I eventually came to enjoy exercise after I spent a summer working a very physically demanding job, but alot of people don't. Team sports seem to favour the naturally athletic and popular kids. Would it promote lifelong fitness more if things like aerobics and weight training were emphasized over team sports? I wasn't fat either, I was a very average sized kid

Why do so few guys join fitness classes at the gym? I used to be very overweight....about 300 pounds....and joined a gym and went for hours everyday, 7 days a week, to lose weight...it was like boot camp....I took a lot of fitness classes like spinning, cardio kickboxing, step, etc. I noticed that I was usually the only guy in the class. Very few guys ever take fitness classes They prefer to lift weights by themselves or with a buddy. Classes don't seem to be a male thing. Why is that?
