Did anyone else see this weird account of PF removing squat racks because people found them intimidating? That's just Reddit being garbage, right?

    They said this on their Facebook page:
    Hi Aaron - As our focus is on the first time gym user and general fitness, we feel that squat racks do not fit into our model. We thank you for your question, and if you would like to follow up with our corporate office, please email us at info@planetfitness.com.

    eta: sorry should have said-- that was the response to someone posting on their wall to ask whether the reddit story is true.

    " we feel that squat racks do not fit into our model. "

    must be because models are always so thin. maybe they should get bigger models.

    I've been in a couple Planet Fitness's, and none of them have ever had squat racks, much less any barbells or dumbbells over 60 pounds. Their focus is definitely on machines with a lot less of free weights.

    Wow.


    "as our focus is on the first time gym user, we'll remove the most effective piece of equipment.."

    Yeah, this. And a squat rack is one of the main reasons a person goes to the gym.

    " we feel that squat racks do not fit into our model. "

    must be because models are always so thin. maybe they should get bigger models.

    I just abandoned Planet Fitness last week. They inadvertently used the wrong expiration date when they submitted their pay request last month and they told me that I had to pay the $10 penalty for it not going through, even though they used the proper date for the first 11 months of the year. When I told them that I wanted to find out what had happened (I didn't know that it was their mistake at that point), I was told that the reason didn't matter because I had signed an agreement.

    When I reiterated that I would happily pay the $10 if it was my mistake, I was told, "It doesn't matter, you signed an agreement". I told the worker that I didn't give a *kitten* about their agreement and she proceeded to lecture me about my language. Oh, she was surfing the internet when I walked in and made me stand for about 20 seconds before she would check me in so she could finish what she was doing.

    Needless to say, I'd rather pay $50 a month at the YMCA and have access to a full facility than pay $20 and deal with an idiot.
