Guy Losses it at Planet Fitness Gym

[Ruhlfreak55]

If your making a lot of noise while training you just want people to be looking at you for the attention.

you don't have a clue what you're talking about

Im against the way he spoke to the girl.. its funny how they sent a chickj to talk to him and not a dude

But i have to be honest and say, i loved every minute of him bashing the place. I persoanlly wouldnt do it, but it was cool to watch.

I thought it was awesome too....run a fucking semi truck through every one of those gyms

My Brother, Dad, and I walked into one of those once...Dad didn't know what it was, we had gone to the address listed in the phonebook as a world gym in the area....and we get there....and it was a planet fitness....and dad's like oh lets go in anyway.
And they didn't even LET us pay them money for a day pass, they were like, well there's this other gym a couple miles down the road, we think you should go there. I would gladly burn every one of those places down

I really hope this was indeed a setup.

If not, his actions are inexcusable. He paints a negative picture for the rest of the serious lifters out there. This is a country where you are free to choose the gym you wish to attend. If you don't like the rules, one must decide to either live within them anyway, or move on to a more agreeable gym.

His actions were extremely child like and far too over reaching for the situation. In the final analysis, I can see no single point of right in his actions. Where is the basic decency anymore? I see ignorance in his actions. Why is that so many find his actions appropriate? Why is it that some see his actions as funny? Was it his property that was being mistreated? Was it your girlfriend or wife being affronted in such a manner? Would it be as funny if that were the case? Would you find it funny if this was your personal gym, one you had a financial stake in, being treated in such a manner?

WOW What a Bad ASS, taking out his anger on an innocent bench and garbage can.

Staged or not...........


LOSER!!!!!!

I agree with Tenny, that this video was a poorly acted out roid rage, the guy picked up what appeared to be at least a 50 lb dumb bell threw it at the mirror and the dumb bell bounced off the mirror it did not shatter. Now with about 5 others in the gym what are the odds someone will have their cell phones on them to capture everything.

I just call this BS.

I don't see a reason for the mirror to shatter if they used a specific type of material to make the mirror out of and the size of the mirror and if its a bit hollow behind the mirror. Its not going to be the same kind of mirror you have in your bathroom that would shatter easily. The mirror flexed quite a bit when it got hit so it obviously had a large amount of weight thrown at it.

And the people recording i bet knew from looking at the guy that he'd set off the alarm and starting recording it to get a laugh or something.

lunk alarm

Damn, that alarm is loud as hell. So...some grunting, etc. is obnoxious and will disturb others, but that alarm won't!?!??

I got a question for every single person on this thread ESPECIALLY THE GUYS WHO SAY "yea fuck that shit, fucking hardcore dude! I should be able to spit and throw my weights around or fuck off!!!"

The hypothetical situation: You are now a business owner. You own a very clean, high class gym, in a nice part of town. 98% of your paying clientele are businessmen, businesswomen, homedads, housewives, elderly and just people trying to stay in general shape. Two percent of your clientele are hardcore bodybuilders and powerlifters. You see the bodybuilders/powerlifters screaming, getting chalk everywhere, dropping 110 pound dumbells etc in YOUR GYM...this is YOUR GYM REMEMBER where your paycheck comes in. Are you going to coddle to your hardcore guys or are you going to coddle your 98% general public? I am as hardcore as they come but i can remove myself from the situation and see the detriment a few outrageous members can cause.......so if you were running your gym and two powerlifters are screaming in the corner doing deadlifts, and you can see your losing members to another high end gym around the corner (who doesnt allow it to go on).....what are you going to do? Say fuck that, I am hardcore myself, I dont give a shit if I have 80 members left, its hardcore or go home....or keep yourself a profitable club?

And yes i see the hardcore lifters dilemna also....

but I want some people to look at things as a businessman and see some opinions here....

IMO, WTF are these guys going to this club? They know what kind of club it is and then get pissed for getting thrown out. Doesn't make sense to me.

 

[dabeast75]

I dont get it you guys

I am pretty disappointed about a majority of the responses I have read on here. We all hate Planet Fitness and have numerous threads about how that place sucks and should be sued, pranked, etc etc.

So now a bunch of you guys are walking the oh-so holy path of "he shouldnt have yelled at that chick"...?? Maybe so, but he finally did what somebody should have done a long time ago. Its pretty fucking disparaging and embarassing working out, being all in the moment and then having somebody walking up to you telling your banned or that you need to stop. Hell, if more people would do this, Planet Fitness might change their discrimination policy because they dont want to hire a personal security force to handle all the "lunkers". And it would keep people away in droves because it would scare them.

TO ME THE VULGAR DISPLAY OF ANGER WAS MORE THAN APPROPRIATE AND NO I DO NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM "CONDONE" VIOLENCE OR THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD GO CRAZY AND BEAT PEOPLE UP ETC ETC ETC. I AM TALKING ABOUT HIS REACTION.

Do you guys actually dig that us body builders are PRECISELY the reason they opened up this chain of faggot gyms? We are the lunks they are referring to!!!!! So to hell with that place.

seeing these videos makes me pist

i would have asked to speak to a guy

and if he was disrespectful i would have dropped him (I would gage the situation for a quick exit so I dont get snitched out)

chlidish as it is, i hate people thinking they can get up close and personal and tell them what the fuck is up without expecting retaliation.

i am from south east san diego and where socom grew up im sure he can vouch at least for that part man real recognize real out here you dont tell nobody nothin without expecting to knuckle up or get into afight

everybody thinks the fuckin worlds perfect, and they can say whtever they want and not worry about retaliation. not here!!

 

[tenny]

exactly

as a business man myself, i rather sale my membership to the 98% of the fat population who's a corporate executive, doc, lawyer instead to 2% of meat heads work as construction worker and can't even afford to pay for their own fucking electricity bills. i like to train hardcore myself, but when comes to $$, i go where the cash is. would u guys rather make $20k/month sell to the general population or making $2k/month dedicated to the hardcore members? i take the 1st option hands down

yes, if this were a business thread then I would agree with you. But this is a BB board and we are not talking about owning a gym but working out in one. and this shithole discriminates against us.

I guess when the next "gym" catches on and decides to post up some ridiculous lunk alarm, we will just pack our bags and move on to another gym. And then the next one, and then the next. Its ok. There will always be at least one gym that will take us....? Its the principle of that place that I am against. It sets a bad precedent.

 

[prime]

Wow. Note to self. Never go to a planet fitness. Do they allow weight belts and wraps? Probably not, those might actually make some one push themselves and eek out a little grunt. Do the panzie patrons set the alarm off or does the Nazi management?

You cant do DC training in a planet fitness so you'd be out after a one set workout...LOL
Its a gym?...a place to train? So is there a problem with a more advanced member training? Yes.
Planet fitness doesn't like you to get to fit. Why? cause once you join they have nothing to do with you...no personal training... no help what so ever...once you join your on your own.
So why discriminate against anyone?
The problem is, if you are a "advanced" gym goer, you should never join to begin with. But, planet fitness uses the term "Judgment free" yet they judge you if you so much as breath to hard or sweat to much...sad place to train.
Its about like owning a bar and not allowing any smoking or hard liqueur and all the waitresses have to wear dresses and and no make up...LOL Just silly.

 

[BigChef]

Customers comes first! Oh well they will lose alot of customers and go somewhere else. If you cant grunt how you suppose to train heavy.

It's almost as stupid as putting "No Grunting/Straining" signs in restroom stalls..

Cause someone might find it offensive.

Although he did over react, I can really understand his frustration..the poor

bastard.

I agree, there are ways to approach someone and maybe give them a simple warning. But that damn alarm and the way she approached him is going overboard. There was a guy at the front desk, why didnt he approach him? little bitch most likely...the guy holding the camera hid behind some equipment..and some guy in a black t-shirt just stood there staring. Gives me an idea of what kind of people go to Planet Fitness..insecure pussys.

And who goes to a Purple gym??

 

[wardog50]

Scripted and BS acting

I'd bet my left nut this guy was acting and so was the chick.

Trying to make a bad name for juice and scripted out a play.
Id bet my ass on it.

I think I might know this dumbies handle on youtube. Its something like "Roids are for losers".

Sorry I just don't see it as real at all.

Maybe the kids watching dint really know but the dude holdin the phone camera knew before she walked over.

If the dude with the phone knew her and it was for real it would have been a real different scenario. She would have told him I have to tell this jerk he has to leave and hes always an ass I really hate this part of my job. The dude with the phone would have manned up and said well let me go with you just in case. Not sat there and and been pre recording before he was ever approached by her.

Point is the dude with the camera KNEW this was going to happen like he knew the chick and she had passed info to him this was going to happen.
Since this is obvious do you really I mean really believe this was NOT scripted??

If the dude knew this other guy was gonna freak and didn't do nothin but record her for a knock out video hes a bigger ass than I could imagine.

This is scripted non sense.

I don't know just my 2 cents.

There are sooo many golds and worlds and other gyms!! why is everyone got this huge hard on for planet fitness?!?!?!

How much clearer can they be they be they aren't set up nor want to cater to bodybuilders and power lifters.They refer to them as meatheads etc..
If any business wants to target certain clientle that is their right.It is done in business across the board.

Yet people continue to show up to train and obsessively post about them online etc.. Why??

kind of like the fucking stalkers when a girl tells them shes not interested and they continue to call,show up,threaten her dates,fianlly getting violent etc..YOUR NOT WANTED!!! get over it.Her answer and their answer is NO.Get over it!



If you condone that type of behavior at a business establishment after you have broken their very well published rules, then I feel sorry for you.My jaw has dropped reading posts okaying this fuck nuts behavior.Why would this idiot(i believe it was staged too) show up and train there.Plus, tough guy does this when the one in charge is a female weighing a buck twenty? my hero.
