AOL.com Video - Planet Fitness Kicks Out Woman For Talking on Phone
Printable View
fuck planet fitness, that place is full of excuses. I will be the last one to say i dont talk on my phone in the gym because there are certain people I have to answer for my wife, if i piss her off i wont be in the gym and the dr's at the orthopedic center that I run the IT dept at. I have had to leave the gym once at 11pm to go change a toner for one of those guys. I would bitch but they get me what ever I need, from computers, phones, tablets and ect. It just blows my mind how much they make, some of them gross 100k a month but only pay them selves 50k for tax purposes. Orthopedic's is the way to go if any one is interested in the medical field or even just being a PA at my place makes 10k.
She doesn't want her money back? I'd want my cash back and they can keep their apology.
But if she was told more than once that talking on the phone was against the rules then she should have known better.
I think it's funny! An apology? that is ridiculous, people think they are so special that rules do not apply to them, like it or not, if you're told specifically to not use the phone on the floor, don't do it... use it in the locker room or outside, I wonder how she handles an "actual crisis", lol:roflmao:
They got rules, she didnt follow them. As much as I think planet fitness is a joke. They have a business model, with rules and I actually appreciate when rules are enforced. Too many places have rules that no one follows. Why have the rules? How many dumbells have you picked up and they are so loose your concerned about putting then over your head, that sit approximately 3 ft from a sign that saids no dropping the weights...
Everybody knows Planet Fitness is only for serious lifters, so put down your phone so you can stuff your face with the free pizza.
Reason I have a home gym, I can talk on my phone, grunt as loud as I want, fart as loud and as smelly as I want, leave my plates on the bar, sweat all over my bench, etc...
Some places limit how much you can actually stuff your face with that free pizza.Quote:

my phone lives in my pocket at the gym but if I have to take a call I go to the lobby area
Dumb people deserve more blame than lousy policies. Got what she deserved.
I don't go to planet fitness and I don't talk on my phone at the gym.
you know its funny...I asked at my current gym when I first joined about grunting and dropping weights, deadlifts in mind and the occasional clean and press foul...
and they said they didn't allow it but I needed to lower my gym fees and they have a good set up so I signed up anyway..you know no one has ever said a damned thing to anyone about dropping weights and making noise ...I was screaming on the leg press once and I got some looks but no one said anything to me. Course if they had I wouldn't of heard them because my ipod was cranked and I didn't even realize I was making that much noise until someone looked at me funny. Chalk is normal..no one puts away their shit away(do they in any gym?)
anyway...reflecting
Planet Fatness can fuck off
As much as i dislike their establishment, the removal was warranted. Go be a loud mouth bitch somewhere else.
Planet fitness is gay. People who talk on their phones in the gym are gay. This thread is gay.
I think there is a big difference to dropping weights then doing dead lifts and cleans. Now if you drop the weight from waist high and not try to keep any control with non bumper style weights then thats not right, but if your just putting it down hard cause its a fucking big load then thats fine. I watched a guy doing push presses and would drop the weight from chin high to the ground, I wanted to smack him. Or for me I slam the 145's down after the set there is no gentle way to put down a 145lb dumb bell period. I dont drop them from press height but it does make a boom.Quote:
