Planet Fitness is such a joke.
Unsophisticated in the finest sense of the word.
Wow just wow, I bet if she looked like this; http://sav-cdn.com/sites/default/fil...o/11681749.jpg they'd feel a lot more comfortable and at ease with her then.
She doesn't even look that toned.
"Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: 'A horrible person.' We weren't even testing for that."




They bill themselves as non judgmental and they're hands down the most judgmental gym I've ever encountered. It's almost funny.





If you owned a gym wouldn't you want toned members? after all then other members can look at them and say "I can achieve that". Of course that's too simple. I remember when I worked out at this gym and this woman said she wished she was in great shape. However, she would come in, maybe workout 10 minutes then eat candy bars. That won't achieve anything.




Planet Fitness doesn't want members in good shape. They have pizza nights and keep a container of tootsie rolls on the front desk. Their commercials insult anyone who is in good shape and paint them as stupid meatheads.
It's an anti-gym, really. People get thrown out for breathing too hard, grunting or looking too good. It's a gym for fat people who want to stay fat and sit around and insult anyone who isn't fat.





Wow - I've found a place that encapsulates everything that's wrong with America in one building, lol.





I think it's a brilliant business model. Someone who shows up at the gym twice a month and walks on a treadmill for half an hour isn't going to cause the same degree of wear-and-tear to the machinery as someone who goes 3-4 times a week and includes the padded weight machines in his/her rotation. And if most of your clients are half-committed out-of-shape folks who sign up and never show up again, you can honestly say that the machines are always available.





That seems to be current fashion: ostracize those who do something well, glamorize mediocrity or outright incompetence.
How sad. It's like the Westboro Baptist Church of Gyms. lol.




In PF's defense I recently joined, largely because of the 'good will' of them offering free showers during a prolonged 1 week ice-storm power outage. At the time, I thanked them and said when I was ready to go back to the gym I'd give them my business. The one I joined is a brand new facility, so everything is new and still shiny. They are individually owned franchises so it could have been the decision of one employee. There are all sizes and shapes there, but certainly are some yoga pants that are incentive to visit more often. Not many bare midriffs, but this is New England and except for today has been a cold nasty winter....

that's crazy!! lol " your toned body is making people uncomfortable" they actually said that?! haha! the kicker being that she isn't that toned, although very attractive. why don't they just come out and say it " fat and unattractive people ONLY please!"
i'm glad my experience with PF has been very good overall, and there are a LOT of very toned people and "lunk" types but they mind their business and i mind mine. its been a pretty good experience overall, even tho i don't go very often. i do think its crazy they have a bowl of candy at the desk though!
OMG, right pf, is such a joke, I get my redlight there and I tried them out as a gym to workout at and I dropped a weight cuz I like to lift till I cant anymore and therefore drop it when I am done and they turned the alarm on me!!!I was like WTF its a gym dude shouldnt we be working out to the best of our ability, and not slacking.? This is the ultimate gym for slackers. Screw their lunk alarms!lol
You have to see this one to believe it:

I've seen really big men and women at every gym I've ever been to - I think the ones who really want to work skip straight past a gym like Planet Fitness. But yeah, the pizza thing? Have no idea what they were thinking with that one. That said, lots of gyms have smoothie/shake bars, and I imagine a smoothie spill would be much worse for the machinery. Most gyms strictly enforce the prohibition on food near equipment.
I don't know a lot about weight lifting form and would rather not injure myself, so I personally appreciate any gym filled with "lunks" who will come help me out if I'm not using the equipment properly. And if I'm budgeting for a personal trainer, I *want* the drill sergeant who will give me results. A lot of people buy into this idea of being "physically fit" without really putting in the effort - they have no idea how much work is required for the athletic look. A gym that actively discourages the unpleasant "no pain, no gain" mentality is going to get a lot of business, even if they're essentially lying to their clients.

WHAT??I gotta go see this now, haha!





I don't know if there is a PLANET FATNESS around here.
I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.
Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.
NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.





Getting self-concious obese people to go to the gym, even occasionally, is a good thing for public health. But since the entire business model of the strip club industry would collapse if Joe Schmoe customer and his fat wife get in shape and have sexy times at home, I suspect I'll lose any argument that suggests Planet Fitness is not literally worse than ebola.
what annoys me is that thats not what I would call toned





OMG - lestat is back! Dude - haven't seen you post in AGES!! Actually, I don't think people getting in shape would hurt anything in the industry. Thre would stil be plenty of reasons to go to strip clubs, lol.
LMAO @ "planet fatness"!
