How does this place still get returning clients? I imagine it's actually just a huge gym filled with obese people who sit around.

Oh, I believe you! It's one of the main reasons I got a gym membership near me. Trust me, my local gym isn't much better than Planet fatness, it's just abandoned half the time and has mainly cardio, so I run a lot there and ignore the shitty music they play. I hate when people say just go run in the park. With my asthma, it's easier to work out in a controlled environment. If I go running out into the park and have an attack, well.. that's always been a scary thought to me. You keep on doing you. It's fun to trigger the fats anyway.

Their business model depends on their clients NOT returning. People who use the equipment cost them money. So they have the Lunk Alarm and the "no grunting" rules to keep the undesirables out. They want the fats to sign up because fats will show up maybe once per month and won't cancel their memberships. It's free money. The pizza and bagels are there to keep them coming back occasionally so they keep paying that monthly fee.
