    Try this:
    Phone: 603-750-0001

    And if you can't get anyone, I would find a new gym ASAP.

    Will do! Thank you
    Good luck. That's just so seriously wrong and creepy. I'm surprised they aren't doing anything. Major liability!
    Agreed but like most franchise gyms once the contract has been signed and membership has been paid for they tend to ignore members legitimate complaints...unless it is about liabilities such as baby bumps, excessive bare skin, actual lifting of weights etc

    I want to pick things up and put them down, but they said NO!
    Word!

    This would have been amusing if the machines had been purple and gold.

    lol

    Well, I think they're risking a serious lawsuit not doing something about this. I mean, it would be one thing if it were a matter of a brain fart and he saw you, apologized and left. But that behavior looks like possible sexual predator (even if it's only voyeurism).

    I may be overreacting, but that just doesn't seem like normal behavior.

    Don't forget intimidating people by wearing headbands.

    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.
    Ummm ...

    Talk to a manager. That isn't OK.

    I've tried calling numerous times but no one answers. And I can't find the corporate number!

    Somebody would've known about that before I even left. Lucky you were covered up. I hope you know who it was that came in so you can report him personally.

    Creates troll thread complaining about trolls, then deactivates....

    Seems legit.

    Maybe... But a member since 2013 though?

    I know. Strong first post.

    FIFY
    I chose my wording with great care, TYVM. But I like Dav's fix for your fix best.

    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. "

    The pepperoni is a GIVEN. LOL. It is rather tasty I must say. You can use bacon bits as a fast and easy way to add it as a topping, BTW. REAL bacon bits!

    No. You're better off not knowing. In this case, ignorance is bliss.

    Pluto is not a planet. It's a dwarf planet. Even my 3 year old knows that.

    I go the first Monday of every month and walk out with 2 large pizzas - hard to beat for $10.

    No you are not overreacting this is not acceptable on any level but planet fitness has a image of ridiculous behavior to maintain...product recognition and stuff.
