Planet Fitness SUCKS
so how is it that I never heard of all the Gayness in this gym until I recently signed up. No warning from fellow gym buddies.
so No Squat Rack, No row machine, no barbells to do some curls... What a Gay ass gym. No pun intended. I know a gay or 3. but now I know why eveyone was looking at me. I was benching more than they have ever seen. and it was only 275.. Oh wait. The barbells are lighter for the gayness. I don't think I will be able to successfully do one body part without the need for equipment that they don't have. What a SONOFABITCH!!!!!

You didn't do a walk through or a trial run before you signed up....you're at fault...
No kidding. Who the hell joins a gym without making sure it's got everything you want to use?

I'd have told her, "Listen bitch if I wanted a quiet workout I'd go to the library and curl encyclopedias...."
Sad to say but its business, casual excercisers that basically dont do anything when they are in there outnumber bodybuilders which equals dollars.
Its the pu>>ification of america, basically they cater to the people that whine.
The sad part is, when I see someone at the gym who needs help or is new, I gladly help them out. These people that work out in sandals would be surprised how much a bodybuilder would lead them in the right direction if they just asked.

Yes, that is the lunk alarm. That guy is my hero. I wish I had done the exact same fucking thing when I set the alarm off.
Fuck that place. I'm so glad I didn't sign up there.

I second this. What a load of shit.
I like how the camera stays on the "You Belong" sign for 5 seconds. No serious weight trainer belongs there. Ever.

I also like how everything is purple and yellow. Truly, it is Planet Gheyness.
I only wish that guy had broken the mirror when he chucked the dumbbell at it.
That place sucks.

I really don't care for the title "Roid Rage".
You don't have to be roided up to get that mad, really....how does one work out like a mute.
Definitely was the camera guy who filmed it who named the video, funny how he hid the camera when that guy faced him.

and that place was packed! they can afford to piss off customers. wtf? just confusing.
The one in my town is. Every few months they run the $10 a month promotion and when you drive by the window it's so packed with people you can't see the back wall.

OK so then how the fuck does that alarm go off? With all those people, it should be kinda noisy.
I kept thinking about this and I wondered if I would deliberately fuck with the alarm. For instance, what if I clapped? Or laughed?
Bottom line, an ALARM is judgment in and of itself. I cant see how they are avoiding being judged with this Nazi shit around. Not to mention, the alarm lets EVERYONE know about an individual vs. those who would hear an obnoxious noise. Think about the normal person who accidently sets off this alarm. I am sure they dont like being gawked at by other members, topping the humiliation off by an associate telling you to watch your behavior.
As far as this guy goes, he handled it like a buffoon. I can see myself getting as pissed, but throwing shit around will get you arrested fast.

Heh. Last time I checked it was a gym, not a library.
I seriously wonder how these places make money with their rates. Can someone shoot out possibilities?
This whole idea is one example of how soft this country is getting. Are we really cradling people's emotions by supplying these types of gyms? Are fatties REALLY not going to the gym cuz of noise? I guess no contestant on the Biggest Loser better join..
Look, I get it. I think those who grunt and scream are obnoxious, but they really are few and far between. Thats why I gotta wonder how loud shits gotta be in order to set it off. I mean, the alarm didnt go off when he tossed the dumbell at the mirror!
Can it be that there is someone monitoring the members and they manually set off the alarm?

I'm guessing deadlifting with more than an empty bar is out of the question?
I'd be pissed too if some effing alarm went off every time I added another plate to the bar. Having said that, the purple machines would have tipped me off to turn around and walk back out as soon as I spotted them.
maybe they want members who will pay membership and hardly ever go as opposed to someone serious who is going to use the shit out of their membership?
Agreed. I work out at a fairly busy gym and there is only one really annoying guy who yells when he works out. He is all of 160lbs soaking wet and has a faux hawk hair cut so I don't think anybody takes him seriously anyway due to the fact he is screaming when doing 25lb db side lateralls lol. I consider him entertainment.
Why do I have this feeling that the people who sound the "lunk alarm" take their jobs VERY seriously hahahaha!!

No dead lifting allowed.
No making Noise.
No squatting over 225lbs.
They cut the pegs off so only 2 plates would fit on the Oly-bars and all other equipment. I have been through this hell.
I warned you fuckers a long time ago, and now it is spreading like a virus.

A comment from that video on YouTube:
I went to the Planet fitness in my town and purposfully set off the lunk alarm with two of my freinds who play college football. Was the most epic day fo my life. We had this 6'4 215 reciever who can bench well over 300 plds, struggling with two 25 dbs all the while I yelled "IT'S ALL YOU/PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT!!!!!!!!!!!"

Another gem:
The no grunting rule has got to be the work of a female who is intimidated by the male sound of grunting. Why don't they just rename this gym Planet Pussy?
