Why does Planet Fitness get such a bad rap?

That video is awesome. Could have happened anywhere but of course did happen at PF. Another benefit of membership!:thumbsup:

What happened to America? Every effing person needs to feel coddled these days. OMG, that grunter is offending me and making feel weird.

Who cares what weirdos do?

Has anyone actually been to a gym and been judged? I've never in my entire life had anyone do any bring remotely judgmental in a gym that I've seen. If you can't workout without feeling insecure, PF isn't going to help you.

I judge the fat guy that keeps doing dead lifts way too heavy for him and yells "GGGGRRRRAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" every time he pulls. He also carries around a gallon jug of water and does 10 arm curls between every set.

I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of PF critics are in no better shape than the general public.

Yes, we need pics...

I supposed you've changed your mind about PF being a real gym from your earlier post #89.

Without knowing what you are specifically referencing, I stand by all my comments on this thread. If the definition of what is a gym, is something 80% plus of the population can agree on, then outliners are more of an exception, aren't they?

What I'm specifically referencing? Don't play coy now. You made some personal remarks in post #89 (which I've only saw once the thread got bumped) and said that PF had everything a typical Gold's gym goer would want. You even said your Gold's gym only had 20lb dumbells.
