Then again, you're not hurting the pussification any by bringing the iPod

I bought the Ipod because even when the gym was Power house, they blasted 80's music such as the cure and depeche mode.
I lift better with no music at all, but hard times call for hard measures.
Now the music is fucking even worse, consisting of top 100 pop hits and shit like that.

I spoke to the manager and requested my contract to be terminated and to prorate my contract for the remaining months. He refused, so I explained that my contract was to Power House, and not to Planet Fitness, and that it is very poor business ethics to renew 15 month contracts when you know you are being bought out by someone. He would not do anything, so I am going to be a "lude". I am going to throw weights around like a god damn mad man, grunting and screaming and making every person in that gym fill uncomfortible, until they give me the money back on the unused months.

I would sue. They failed to tell you there would be drastic changes within your contract period.

Hey where the pictures at man?

Have you seen PF's famous candy jars filled with purple and traditional Tootsie Rolls®? We go through over 400,000 each month!

On Pizza Nights (the first Monday of every month) we go through 1500 pizzas. That's 38000 slices per year!

The second tuesday of every month we serve up free bagels to our club members! Come on by and get your own!

Only at PF!

I took pictures 3 days ago, but I lost the usb cable for my camera. As soon as I find the cable, I will upload them for you.

KelJu · 01-25-2006, 03:27 PM

Pictures are up.
The pictures kinda suck but you can see the gay ass sirene and blue light on the wall above the stupid green neon lights. BTW, the sign says the following:
"Lunk - Someone who grunts, drops weights, or judges"

These are the colors that the entire gym is now painted in. I have got to get a membership to somewhere else.

I feel so sorry for you. I'm against arson but in this case I'll look the other way.

Nate K · 01-25-2006, 07:03 PM

God.....I've never seen a place like that before....the purple.

clemson357 · 01-25-2006, 08:35 PM

you can file a small claims suit pro se. "pro se" means you file it yourself, you don't even need a lawyer. Do it for the principal.

get before the judge and talk about how when you signed the contract you talked with the sales dude about getting into power lifting, you wanted to bench 320 lbs, you liked to do a lot of heavy dumbell curls....etc. They can't hold you to a contract if they aren't upholding their half of the bargain...

OH MY GOSH. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF GYM IS THIS?!?! THEY HAND OUT PIZZA AND TOOTSIE ROLLS!!

DOMS · 01-25-2006, 11:02 PM

That's like giving out free cocktails at an AA meeting...

Hillside · 01-26-2006, 04:53 AM

The world gym near my house recently changed to a PF about a year ago. Same deal, pizza, bagles, although I haven't seen the tootsie rolls. The alarm is not Lund alarm but Lunk alram and I've only seen it go off once. Some guy was benching with big dumb bells and threw them down after his set. The siren started going off and flashing. They have also lowered their rates to something like 15 bucks a month so you have every fucking high school brat bullshitting and taking up benches. They have recently taken all of the squat racks and put up a sign saying "absolutely no dead lifting" Wtf is that? The place sucks but there are really no other options around my town besides Bailies...

Nate K · 01-26-2006, 08:46 AM

"absolutely no dead lifting" Holy shit.......I want to burn all of that shit down.....that is just wrong.

min0 lee · 01-26-2006, 06:27 PM

"absolutely no dead lifting" That's the craziest shit I ever heard!

kicka19 · 01-26-2006, 08:30 PM

that sounds soooo bad

sdupdike · 02-01-2006, 12:45 PM

I think Planet Fitness is taking over Mobile. Besides taking over the two Powerhouse gyms in town, they also just bought the World Gym near my house.

joesmooth20 · 02-01-2006, 12:55 PM

If you have any sorta family member who doesn't live near a planet fitness, you can just get a peice of mail sent to there house with your name on it and say you moved there. They cannot hold you to the contract.

**Dale Mabry** · 02-01-2006, 12:55 PM

This gym is ghey.

oaktownboy · 02-01-2006, 08:45 PM

to have a siren go off when u make any kind of loud noise, be it from grunting or dropping the weights to the ground, has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen or heard of in a gym

Yeah thats what some little peckerhead that works at PF told me. Did they pussify Worlds Gym too, because I was planning on working out there from now on. The purple/yellow color scheme is killing me, and I swear today they were playing that song from the 80's that went something like
"I'm your venus...I'm your fire... bla bla". The god damn battery on my Ipod had died, and my soul along with it.

sdupdike · 02-02-2006, 08:17 AM

Yep, they're in the process of converting the World Gym right now to the same color scheme and everything as the other Planet Gay gyms.

Mindset26 · 02-03-2006, 10:11 AM

Years ago I read that an experiment was done with the color pink regarding aggression levels. A number of agressive inmates at a prison ( i forget where),
had their cells painted over in bright pink. They were also made to wear pink
prison uniforms.
Their aggression levels all dropped and
they all eventually became passive sissies.
Aside from the fact that it's an ugly color scheme, It would also probably
have a bad psychological effect on your workouts. You would probably, eventually, not have any more needed aggression to attack the weights and get a good workout. Pretty rediculous.
