This freaking thing most annoying thing ever anybody try planet fitness out ? I did and (in Arnold voice) "I won't be back!" Alarm sounds if you flex in the mirror, if you bring a gallon jug of water, if you wear a tank top , drop the weight, if you wear a dorag, grunt or breath out to loud this alarm goes off. Kid comes out and says "1 more time" we, that's me and a few other lifters, are out for the night. O.k. The biggest sign in the place says judgement free zone and on the way in to the tanning bed I get stopped.Girl working there says "I know allot of gyms around you guys could go to". WTF guessing me and my tatted bros aren't welcome, that's fine by me after being judged by big girl, here's what I witnessed. People on treadmills starring on there bikes pointing even a couple saying omg when just walking by. These nut jobs at this gym had 2 tables yes 2 tables of 2 liter soda bottles, not diet either. cups, papa johns pizza, paper plates oh can't forget napkins. This place should have been named planet fatness nobody really working out. Me and my bros are the only ones in the dead weight area. People just doing cardio real laid back cardio. Never stepping into this place again. Try working out there. 3 plate max on leg press machine, dumbbells up to 60lbs, not a flat bench in the whole place. WTH planet fitness we're people not bodybuilders go to train. That's what the sign should say, If you are unfortunate enough to live near one of these franchises give it a shot and see if what I'm saying is not true.

Why would you even bother?. Actually where I am nearly all of them have been taken over by other gyms. They really aren't too popular anymore, they are disappearing.

I thought it was the hardcore gyms disappearing and Planet Fitness centers sprouting. I go to a pretty decent gym but sometimes go to a PF near my home as a backukp.

Deep down I do wish more gyms that are amenable to the heavy lifters open up.
 
I don’t see the problem with making a comfortable place for both types but.. We are the ones that maintain a gym or cpl of gym memberships for years on end. How can they not realize that our type is the backbone. My local gym sucks but they always ask me on how to improve it. Mainly because I am there more that any member period. I even fix the pos treadmills that they gave way too much money for.
From what I can tell planet fitness was a good idea that took things too far. I don’t have one close so I don’t care, just don’t see how they can survive doing what they do.
I am in business myself and I see it all the time ppl have a great business plan and have a good thing going but really suck at being a business owner. So they end up half as successful as they could be. Prime example with pf. I see it declining.
 
I guess the business plan is good lol !! There's a whole lot more fat ass than bodybuilders lol !! But for a place to openly judge people isn't right fat or in shape !! FUCK THEM !!
 
I have never stepped foot inside a planet fitness, heck I have never stepped foot even close to one! And I never will!!!

Thanks

I took a free one week trial there when I was in the process of switching gyms and it was a damn shame. I assumed ppl had exaggerated how bad it was but nope,it was as pathetic as advertised. Free weight area was non existent and no free weight bench/power racks etc...

I did get a cute 19 yr olds # who I eventually smashed outta it so it was worth it lol...

Nah, I don't go to a chain place but Plant Fitness is disappearing around here. There is only one left in my area.

Yep. Only one left in my area as another place is taking over. They really won't be around much longer I don't think. Why complain about a place if you don't like that particular gym?. Just go to a different one, or better yet build one in your home.

Except for that constant burning and itching you have now...
 
Actually plan to start a full on commercial gym in a neighboring county. Tried to start one locally but no one wants to give up the real estate. I do go to another gym occasionally but it is in another county 30 mins away. I never complain without having a plan of action.

Just respond with the loudest pig squeal you can...and start pointing...if you ain't going back.
 
A lot of LA Fitness facilities are slowly becoming more like planet fitness.

Luckily my gym is usually pretty empty at times I go and the people who run it are extremely cool. It's always best to find a gym ran by a bodybuilder, strong man, or power lifter (retired or current).
 
Fuck all these pussies. A bunch of snowflake safespace bitches that need to just stop breathing.

I am tempted to go in one of these hell holes and purposely get kicked out and tell them “unless you physically remove me I am finishing my workout”

What are those pussies going to do?!?!

Question. If I do this and a cop comes and i haven’t harmed anyone or damaged anything can I get arrested for simply no leaving?????)

Had no clue what the hell you were talking about. I ran a search and heres some definitions....

Lunk Alarm
Planet Fitness's 110dB deafening tornado siren. An employee sets it off when they hear weights drop or someone tattles on another member for using a cell phone in the gym area.
The offender is not singled out (and may not even know it's sounding for them).

Other innocent members get blasted with the ear piercing siren, which is above the OSHA sound level limits. The only effect of the Lunk Alarm is to damage members' ears (the employees at the trigger switch are far away from the sound).

Lunk Alarm
Something made up by the insecure people who run Planet Fitness (Planet Fatness) gyms. They set it off when anyone remotely dedicated to training is in the area. They claim to be a "judgement-free" gym, yet ironically they won't even let those who they deem "lunks" into their facility. The people don't want to "be intimidated" by fit gym goers, yet the only thing intimidating them is their own insecurities.
Planet Fatness Worker: He looks like he might actually be strong and dedicated to his training...what a lunk! Set off the lunk alarm!

Lunk Alarm
Planet Fitness, the home of the self-conscious exerciser, decided to get rid of the meatheads and attention seeking Guidos by hooking up an alarm system for vain bitches who find it impossible to work out without the attention of everyone else in the room.
"How's I s'posed ta get my swell on at da gym widda fuhckin Lunk Alarm goin off e'ry time I grunt"
