Simple answer: PF doesn't cater to a certain segment of the population in a judgmental way but claims to be a judgment free zone.0

Because it's obviously not a planet. Heck, not even Pluto is a planet anymore so I don't know why a fitness center thinks it can claim the title.

I guess I'm just not getting the "judgment free zone" thing. I joined a small local gym mainly because it emphasizes women's health and fitness (they have a couple of women-only locations here) and I have never for one second felt judged or put down, not even when I was weighed in at 343 pounds.
Most of the time, I don't notice anyone doing anything but concentrating on their OWN workout. Who's got time to judge someone else? Certainly not THIS girl.
Maybe it's just the gym that I'm a member of, but I've only heard of "judgment" happening now and then, it doesn't seem to be this huge problem that Planet Fitness is making it look like - but, hey, if it works as a marketing strategy....
I have nothing against Planet Fitness. I had considered going there myself before I joined my current place, mainly because the membership fees are cheaper than dirt and of course that's always attractive. But... eh, yeah, the "no grunting" rule? If that were the case I'd be kicked out on the first day - I sweat and grunt a little when I'm on the elliptical because I just kick butt like that - while I don't notice anyone else.
It's good for those that want to start out and are scared to join a "regular" place because of the fear of how they'll be perceived. But in my experience, I was NEVER judged at my gym, ever. Hell, on the contrary - I was encouraged to keep coming in. It's why I'm still a member there.

more bacon and eggs. and planets
less about trolls.
Unless they like bacon- then I guess they can come play.Good job scaring off someone who obviously was looking for someone with a shared POV.
not sure if serious... orrr......... yeah. I'm just going to go back to the bacon on this one.
bacon and planets. WTH? seriously LOL :laugh:0 -
Has anyone said it yet? Can I sneak it in? I'm going to, anyway.

Planet fitness kicked a member out because her baby bump was showing. maybe that has something to do with it?
but i have no beef. lol.. hell if I didn't see the debit every month in my account i may not even remember the name of my gym. I just focus go and do my thing.0 -
I belonged for about a year.
The AC was rarely on, or not fully on.
Many of the machines were old.
Many of the machines did not work.
Lamps were burned out and not replaced making parts of the gym dark.0 -
Saw this just after reading this about Planet Fitness

I go to workout there every single morning, and I like it!
But funny story. Yesterday morning I was getting ready for work in the locker room, when a male employee walked in. I was only wearing a towel and he didn't call out a warning, or apologize when he saw me. Plus, he didn't immediately leave. He went into the janitorial closet and got stuff he needed, fiddled around and then decided to leave the women's locker room. Of course I told the people at the front desk, and nothing has come from it.
Besides that, I love Planet Fitness.0 -
Ummm ...I go to workout there every single morning, and I like it!

This thread, while amusing and silly, is making me hungry. STOP WITH THE BACON!!! Or not. I do believe my lunch involves bacon and pizza. (No haters! So I like bacon and Canadian bacon on my pizza. Sue me.)0

All I know is that if they would deliver the pizza in 30 minutes or less, they'd get a much bigger tip. But just the tip....0

Yeah. Wal-Mart, of all places, has/had my favorite pizza of all time - pepperoni and Canadian bacon. I can only imagine "regular" bacon and Canadian bacon.0 -

Good luck. That's just so seriously wrong and creepy. I'm surprised they aren't doing anything. Major liability!
