Ahhh a very sore subject with me. Planet fagness.
Here in Hickory NC they actually turned my beautiful hardcore Golds gym into a fucking pathetic planet fitness.
Here is what this consisted of. First Rick fuck hole Flair went bankrupt and bailed on us and closed his Golds. Planet Fitness moved in 2 days later. At first i thought... great, some new equipment... new staff ect.
WRONG. Sure we got new equipment... 200K worth of cardio and Tvs. Some cybex stack machines.... and thats it.
What they DID do is... remove all my beautiful hardcore dumbbells. Took all the heavy dumbbells from 80lbs to 150lbs out. Replaced all the others with those sissy rubber dumbbells. Nothing over 75lbs. I was inclining the fucking 150s for reps... wtf now ya know?
I shit you not... instead of removing the leg press machine the mother fuckers actually CUT the bars off 7 inches so no more then 3 plates will fit on each side! No shit!
Next they installed the "lunk alarm". I set that fucker off within 5 minutes and got my first "warning". Ok... my whole world was turned upside down. I have never lifted in anything but hardcore. Now i was stuck with this.
No other gyms around here for 30 miles so... no choices really. The only good thing was... 10 bucks a month. Its worth that even if you just came once a day to tan. When it was Golds i had a personal locker i paid $100 a year for. I had this locker for over 5 years. One New years day the new planet fitness was closed. They decided to take that day and ruin my life even more. The fuckers actually cut my damn lock off and took all my shit. No warning. No asking to clean it out... just cut the lock and steal my shit. They did this to 9 others as well. The son of a bitch stole my autograph picture if Angelina Jolie that mu wife bought me in Vegas when we got married!
So i went to the magistrate and filed felony (made up a bunch of shit that wasnt really in there to get it ot a felony) charges against them for stealing all my stuff. To make a long story short... the owner ended up comping me out for 2 years in order to make the "bad publicity" go away.
So far its been over 2 years... i have been warned for the following.... first the lunk alarm for making to much noise. Then i was warned for using "foul language". After that i was warned for wearing a fucking tank top...i shit you not. Not long ago i got warned 'one last time" that i cant wear my beanie hat. Yes.. a fucking toboggan that you can wear anywhere in the world.. but not Planet fitness. I asked the manager why i couldnt wear that hat and he said it was to "intimidating". Jesus H Christ. You have to be kidding me.
I am still training there for "now". I hear through the grape vine that another dude is opening up another Golds gym with the very intentions of taking all Planet finesses business. I PRAY its not a rumor.
So... to anyone who is looking to be another Ronnie Coleman, stay away from Planet fitness. It aint happenin there my friend.
Someone asked are the people in there in shape or fat asses. I would say here... its 60% fat asses who needed a place to make there "guilt free" social club... there are 30% of the pussy imaginary lat syndrome types that walk around weighing 145lbs and act like they have a water melon stuck in there arm pits holding there skinny boney ass lat muscle out. You know, the preppy spiked hair, cut off at the sleeves shirt wearing tanned bony fucker who just hawks women to talk shit to and uses the water fountain to make it look like there sweating there skinny asses off.... then maybe 8% are pimpled up wanna be juice heads, ignorant steroid users that have no idea what they are doing except when they go home to pop a shot or take a dbol tab.
The other 2% is me and another dude who is jacked to the gills and trains like fuck while having to keep there mouth shut in order to not piss the staff off because they are looking for every reason to kick us out.
I have to walk a very thin line. I just put my head phones on and lift... i dont bitch, i dont talk to the members, and i dont talk to the staff. I just go... do my shit and leave. I can guarantee everyone here one thing.. if Golds does open up here and its even remotely nice i am going to be the first one to throw a fucking rubber dumbbell straight through that big glass window on my way out of that shit hole. Oh... i forgot to mention the gay guys. It seems that Planet fitness is a haven for gay men. I shit you not, in the morning there are two guys who come in... they are decently athletic looking... you know the gay guy lean and tall lanky look... super swave hair that is always perfectly in place....but the funny thing is, every day they are dressed identical. Always a shit load of pink ... either pink hats, or pink shirts, or pink knee high socks but... always in pink and always exactly alike. They are so sweet
Anyway... thats my planet. Like it not im stuck with it... well until my next anadrol cycle... then im as good as gone probably.
