Oh man…. I shouldn’t even get started on this topic. Being a member for ~4-5 yrs now, I literally have enough stories to publish a comedy book on what a fucking joke PF is…
Lol, good find. But my favorite PF is this:
YouTube - Don't Grunt in Planet Fitness!
Haha… “PF says it kicks out a handful of members every year for violating it’s… “etiquette policy”.
And, as many of you mentioned, there’s the lunk alarm, pizza monday, and bagel tuesday, for starters…
Planet Fitness is nothing short of a brilliant business plan in the fitness industry. Nobody can take that from them. I would never join one but there are some smart people there laughing their way to the bank. If normal people ever found out how unintimidating a real gym really is, Planet would be out of business in under a year.
We all think it's funny because many here have pinned our Livelihoods, or in cases like mine, Hobby, to being "judged". Being "judged" is a great thing and should be embraced. My complaint is I seldom get enough feedback; not that I get too much!!
Yes! And the irony of this whole “judgment free” spiel/motto is that it’s totally opposite… PF labels/discourages hardcore type guys who train their asses off, (like many of our forum members here
), and guess what’s left? Worse than “just” the fat lazy fucks that monopolize the weight machines while chowing down on pizza (although that is pretty damn bad): pervs who are twice my age and don’t stop hitting on me and other young gals!!! [And they call this the Judgment Free Zone!?! Judgment Free my fit ass!!!]
Sick of the bullshit, I decided to take matters into my own hands: bought some t-shirts, “Eat Shit and Die!” and another that says “FUCK OFF you Fuckin’ Fuck!”. Now all I had to do when some bastard wouldn’t quit it with the obnoxious eye contact was simply smile back and glace down at [the choice words on] my chest.
Unfortunately, the gym manager didn’t care for my shirts and warned me not to wear them. I agreed (at least not while he is there
) but warned him that if ppl don’t leave me alone, I’m gonna have a lot worse to say than those words on my shirt!
