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.

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.0

Oh..
I guess I can never drop a weight now. I mean lest I be called a name...in a "judgement free" zone?0 -
hmm didn't realize they were so bad...I'm glad I use the Y with the rest of the lunks.0

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.0 -
Wow. They couldn't pay me enough to join that gym. How incredibly hypocritical.0

" 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.0 -
yet another reason to not go to planet fitness ..what a joke….
whats next…no deadlifting..oh wait…you can't do that either..0 -

Oh..
is this the judgement fee zone that judge a guy with a gallon of water jug?0 -
I don't see the problem here.
People who want to use squat racks have lots of gym choices.
People who don't want gyms with people who use racks have apparently only one choice. Why do you want to take that choice away from those people?0 -

On this trajectory it's only a matter of time before first the Olympic barbells and then the fixed barbells are gone. Then the dumbbells and benches.
After that they'll start on the cardio machines until there is nothing but ellipticals left (that'll show those smug treadmill runners).
Then they'll get rid of those too and be free to pursue their true business model - monthly pizza club subscription.0 -

That logic is flawed.
I don't use a spin bike. As long as a gym has all the equipment i do use, i don't care that there are also spin bikes in there and that other people use them.
A gym is a gym. The squat rack is one of the most used pieces of equipment in a gym. I fail to see the logic in getting rid of it.0 -

maybe that is their master plan ..lure everyone in with pizza and slowly eliminate all the gym equipment….0 -
On top of the bad service, I found it hypocritical to read signs about not being judgmental when they were clearly being judgmental as a company all the time.0

They're all lunks anyway. Meat heads with brains and genitalia destroyed by steroids. Obsessed with looking at themselves in the mirror and grunting. Worst of all - they judge people.0
