wow glad I go to a different gym-I love doing squats so if I belonged there I wouldn't stay-I heard you can't even drop a dumb bell-they would hate my gym-if people don't like squat-they just don't have to use it-pretty soon they will only have treadmills there lol0

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?
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.
good point…I don't use the treadmill, but I don't want it eliminated from my gym..
I don't use the trainers....OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!0 -

what about the current members that use squat racks?
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.

yet another reason to not go to planet fitness ..what a joke….
whats next…no deadlifting..oh wait…you can't do that either..
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.
maybe that is their master plan ..lure everyone in with pizza and slowly eliminate all the gym equipment….
I'm going to open a pizza joint next door, and put a squat rack in the middle of the dining room.0 -

I can't really think of anything I would actually do at a Planet Fitness. Maybe they have pull up bars?0

Apparently, they just don't want to risk the possibility that one of their members might actually ... build muscle.0 -

probably not as that might lead to grunting….
I guess they have dumbbells…that only go up to 40# or something?0 -

This is the most judgemental and disgusting thing ever. So its ok for them to judge individuals in tank tops and drinking water?! WTF.0 -

Wow. There aren't any of these gyms near me so I don't know much about them. What I thought was that they wanted to make the gym less prohibitive for the first-timer, which I support but not to the point the place is child-proofed. I was intimidated as hell to approach the squat rack for the first time and I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. That was a big win!0

They don't want any beefcake there. Beef is only okay on pizza.0 -
