Borges says, "it's unfair to show off your body" because it can make other people feel bad.

IF you have a good body, better start wearing sweaters to the beach so someone doesn't feel bad.

Yeah, that's a terrible POV. I'm inspired when I see really fit women at the gym. Makes me think that if they can do it, so can I! There's also a good chance that any advice they have would be awesome...and from my experience, very willing to impart. Fitness chicks, FTW!

Along the lines of "let's give everyone a medal so the losers don't feel too bad". Our society is going in the tank.0

I would have told them to go pound sand up their a ss.0

Agreed. Also, if her outfit was really not in line with the policy then she should have been approached based on that, not that she looked too good. I wonder if she would have been asked to cover up if she wasn't toned or was overweight?0 -
If I were visiting a gym and saw a toned woman working out there, I would be more likely to join up. As it is, I'm uninspired to even drive by one at this point. What's wrong with their PR department?0

See, this is exactly what I was talking about that I got **** for. Planet Fitness does not want members to be successful. It doesn't fit their business model. Even their commercials display this attitude.0

their commercials are complete BS. "Lunks" and whatnot? They basically body shame everyone who isn't a typical out of shape housewife.0 -
Management at the Richmond Planet Fitness referred KTVU to the corporate office. A spokesperson says the company, "strives to make everyone feel comfortable" and says the dress code is at the discretion of the staff and manager.
So... basically you can make up crap.However, Planet Fitness spokesperson Mcall Gosselin also said if Austin was criticized for being toned or fit then that "is not in line with the Planet Fitness policy whatsoever.”
Prove it. Fire the staff.0 -
I really have no idea how to respond to this article. It is the craziest damn thing I've heard of. What is wrong people?!?! Rock on Tiffany!! Don't let em keep you down.0

I'm just constantly amused at PF.0 -

Here's a "good job" sticker just for participating....0 -

Planet Fitness... celebrating mediocrity!0

Y'know, I guessed from the title that it would be them!0 -
bahahahahaa.
if you can't show off at the gym, where *can* you show off? but only if you truly have a body worth showing off0 -
It sounds more like they're afraid of bare stomachs than "toned bodies". Seriously though, wtf?0
-
Personally, a woman with a toned body does not intimidate me or make me feel bad. She inspires and motivates me!!!0
