    Planet Fitness in Waterford, MI?!?
    Hahah! This is the one down the street from my house.

    Although it's been a little while... I go there from time to time and I've seen waaaay more scantily clad people in there. (One of whom has been me.) I'm a bit confused by this...

    I think I'll stop by soon in some skin tight short-shorts. I know how to make a scene.

    I joined a PF recently (about 3 weeks ago). Based on all of the press I was afraid to breath at first when using the free weights or slide up my sleeves when curling. It seems like a pretty okay gym where I go. People don't seem uptight or easily offended. Time will tell. I work out as I normally would and no issues yet! :)

    That's because PF is a franchise and most locations are just fine. It just depends on the local owner. Mine is fine. Actually most of the people I see there have just as good of a body as some of the people here knocking it. There are more 'fit' people at mine than fat and there is plenty of judgement that goes on (college town=bros). There are a ton of free weights and I have heard the lunk alarm one time in two years, because of someone messing around.

    Once again, these are independently owned places. The actions of a couple do not represent every single location in existence.

    It's a tank top, they are not allowed at PF. I still don't get it. Glad I have a gym that doesn't have stupid policies, I live in tanks at the gym.

    I've seen plenty of people at my Planet Fitness in tank tops, sports bras, jeans and hats. All are against the dress code... except tank tops. I've never seen in my contract where tank tops are not allowed. I wear them all the time.

    That's what you get for joining a 10 dollar a month gym. (yes golds is cheap too, but they spend their membership revenue on weights and barbells, PF spends it on pizza and anti-fitness marketing)

    I hope this place stays in business. Keeps all these people out of other gyms.

    I hope they stay in business too. I guess that will keep me out of your real gym. haha

    Why do people go to Planet Sh*tttness anyway? That is by far the worst place to ever go workout. I rather workout at home lifting buckets of water and sacks of sands than ever stepping in that stupid place.

    It's because I wear a head band, isn't it? That's why I seem like an expert.

    I'm so glad I work out at home.
    I work out in a gym and I have done so on and off for years in different states and cities and have never heard of anything like this happening.

    Why would ONE silly incident make you glad you work out at home? (Not that there's anything wrong with that. I would myself if I had the space and money for the equipment.)

    Because I can work out whenever I want, in booty shorts and a sports bra, not have to wait for anyone else to finish with anything I need, and my shower and bed are about five steps away at any given time? Working out at home is AWESOME.

    That being said, I CAN'T work out at a gym where I live (limited hours and I have tattoos) so I guess I just make do with what I have?

    I'm definitely not an expert, but I do wear a headband. I have long hair and it keeps my hair off my face and neck. Maybe I'm an expert at hair securing.

    I'm not an expert also. I didn't get what the comment meant as well (like you replied in your first response to it). I was just saying the headband thing because Planet Fitness doesn't allow headbands because they look too athletic and are intimidating. But, actually, they are just a way to secure hair (or for some people they help with absorbing sweat).

    They don't allow headbands?! Too intimidating ?!?! How did I miss that tidbit? That's absurd. Oh yeah..and the other reason I wear a headband..I sweat like a pig :laugh:

    P.S.-I creeped your profile-hey fellow Canadian! Is it spring where you are yet?

    It is spring. The cherry blossoms are in bloom.

    Nice! Spring is just starting to show itself here. (southwestern Ontario). Today was warm and the grass is turning green again..finally!

    Yay!

    We mostly get rain here. Only a few snow days this winter.
