pizza at the gym?!
Replies

Most months I hate it! It is soooo hard to resist. Today i was starving and had no snacks with me and it such an awesome thing to have a slice before working out. I have heard the staff say everyone complains about it but then it is always there most busy night of the month. Ironic!0

ummm yeah... a little strang!!!! Id be irriated because I LOVE pizza and it could spoil my whole calories for the day. lol
Yeah, I'm a pizza fan too! Fortunately it was easy to resist cuz I was all "I'm gonna kill this workout biotch!!"....
....but then I went home to Chinese food. :huh:
Fortunately, I really did kill my workout!
Oh man...... you would have been better off with the pizza.... just sayin. Chinese food is the debil! :devil:0 -
Take pics of them eating the pizza and post them on a board in the lobby...lol let's see how hard they work out the next time they are in the gym....lol0

Planet Fitness.
That's just about all you had to say.
^0 -
i love pizza mmm0
-
Planet Fitness is crazy for that... Let's fatten you up so you will keep comming back..... BTW, you have many more options for a gym... I am not far from Pearl River and the Planet Fitness in Nanuet. I stopped going there as it they did not have enough free weights as I am not a "class taker" either. Found Retro Fitness in New City and only pay $20/month and love it there... :happy:0

I had pizza at PF before, and I have no problem with pizza and the nutritional info wouldn't sway me, but it's not worth dealing with the extra crowds for a couple of slices of cold, dried out, wafer thin pizza.
Thick crust or bust!!!0 -
I'm kind of sad that my gym is seen as such a crappy gym.
Boooo!
(oh well, that's what I should expect for $20 a month).0 -

Hi neighbor! Thanks for the info.0 -
Just be careful not to show any visible signs of effort or sweat or they will set off the lunk alarm and throw you out. Hehe.0

Personally, I don't care what anyone else says about PF. They have the treadmills and arc trainers that I use, the weight machines, and a large enough area for stretching/crunches/etc. AND, it costs me 10 bucks a month. Suits my needs! To each their own says I.0 -

Oh crap, and I was literally dripping sweat onto the treadmill last night, I'm screwed!! :laugh:0 -
hahaha my workout partner and I were commenting on this as we were leaving Planet Fitness last night! It's evil because it just makes me want pizza!
It makes me feel good when I see others going to eat it and I walk right by it, though!

It $10 a month in Florida.0 -
haha ohhhh the irony! This has made my Tuesday!
The people that run the gym are either completely stupid, or out right intelligent! lol
Its the perfect marketing strategy for getting people to come back all the time! "Get fit! Eat Pizza! Get fat!" and it starts again! they should offer out pizza on a daily basis for maximum impact! lol
As for you not touching it, well done, it really is the last thing you need before/during a workout...
haha still laughing here!0 -
Okay, I'm looking for an explanation.
I recently joined Planet Fitness. I had been going to a NYSC but Planet is cheaper and I don't need the classes and stuff anyway because I dance. Anywho, the first Monday of every month they have pizza at the gym for the members! I saw people actually going over to weight machines with a slice on a paper plate. :noway:
So, is it a ploy to keep people heavy so they keep needing to work out at the gym? :laugh:
Does this strike anyone else as strange?
Ah hell no!!! That is pure evil. I would be pissed if I went in for a workout only to have to smell pizza the whole time. :devil:0 -

I'm in NY and there are 2 membership options
$10 - can use only one gym
$20 - can go to any PF, can bring a guest every time, unlimited use of massage chairs/tanning0 -
I attend PF, and have since April. I love the place, the people started remember my name and my number a week after attending and have always be courteous. The people that go there are even nice enough to give me a bit of motivation if I seem slacking or to compliment me on the work I've done, even the meathead types that are there. I've lost 54 lbs since then, and I usually grab a slice when I am leaving. The place they get it from here has the NY style that is large and thin and delicious. The way I see it, I bust my *kitten* working out, and I eat back my cals, so I can have it once a month if I want. Heck, I ate half a pizza just last week and still lost 1.6 lbs. Now, what I do watch out for is the sodium, and I drink water like nuts for a few days afterwards. That's just what works for me. I understand being upset, especially if its that easy for you to be derailed, but I figure if you can't resist that temptation, maybe you can't resist others and just need to work on that. But I'm an advocate for every thing in moderation and within reason. But honestly, I feel that if you feel the need to tell management that you don't like it, then you can also feel the need to show up on Mondays or just not at all. That's just how I feel, not trying to be rude ^-^0

I'm glad I could make your day!
And really, it wasn't tempting at all. It's not the best look when your sitting on a weight machine with a GIANT mouthful of pizza0 -

Ummmm....if you actually read my original post I never said I was upset, OR that I couldn't resist the temptation, OR that I was going to complain to management. I merely expressed my lack of understanding as to why they would do this at a gym!
And I've lost 59 lbs so far while still indulging at times with things like pizza, candy, etc.
Oh, and I also enjoy my gym, even though it's a lowly PF. :laugh: It's a nice, down-to-earth environment.0 -

Lol, that's the emoticon titled "no way," as in I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Notice the big shocked eyes and then the confused shaking of the head ---> :noway:0 -

Obviously I read it, otherwise I wouldn't understand the point of the topic. And I never said I was speaking directly to the OP.0 -
Didn't you guys hear that pizza is a vegetable now? LOL Don't know what all this hype is about. 0

Oh yeah, duh, I totally forgot about that! Alright, forget I asked, pizza is the new health food! :noway: lol0 -
Joining PF tonight - there are 2 within walking distance of my house (2-2.5 miles) and it's cheap cheap cheap.
I figure on nice days I can jog there and back. I'll never knock an inexpensive gym with working equipment!
If the pizza is free - bonus!
