    It's a marketing ploy! They give people free food to make them fat so they'll keep coming back and paying more money! (Wait. . . someone else already said this. . . waaahhhhh) :wink:

    This is just not cool.

    I personally disagree with Planet Fitness policies and marketing campaign, but videotaping people in order to mock them is crossing a line.

    I don't know which is worse though... the video of the guy... or that no one has taught him how to use the machine at PF.

    Just don't pick it up too quickly.

    I haven't seen anyone make it go off yet. But the whole premise around it is kind of (absolutely) stupid and ridiculous. For a "judgment free" place, they sure tend to make stereotypes and judge people about how they work out. If I saw a dude curling 110 dumbbells and not drop them after a few sets then I'd think he was inhuman. There's a line between being obnoxious and just being in beast mode at the gym. And thought I may not wear tank tops, some may like it lol what's wrong with wearing a tank top? The gallon water jug thing I understand.....just because my mom always told me never to drink from the container.

    Exactly. You should drink from a 32 oz Planet Fitness-branded container. No lunks here.

    I didn't make the video. And you are right, it was wrong to make and I was wrong for posting the link to it. The "trainer" at the PF location I went to was only interested in helping women learn how to use the machines. I am not sure if it was because he thought men would instinctively know how to exercise or that he was wanting to flirt. I suspect it was the flirting. This of course only speaks to the location I went to, I'm sure that is not true for all of them.

    I know you didn't make the video. Thanks for acknowledging the problems with it.

    To tell you the truth, if the original hadn't been linked a month back with the revolting voice over, I might not have as visceral of a reaction.

    Planet Fitness also gives away fresh rain water that they catch in buckets inside the facility.

    What, does the roof leak?


    Yes, all over. It's awful
