Planet Fitness Tell Woman to Cover Up

It's really a shame certain locations take things to such an extreme. The Planet Fitness I go to is great. The trainer I work with there is amazing and incredibly helpful. The staff is amazing. People work out in whatever they want to. There's a girl that always run in her sports bra and I admire her. Those who lift keep the grunting and dropping of weights to a minimum (basically only doing it when it's physically necessary) and I've only hear the "lunk alarm" go off once.
Yes, their bagel Tuesdays and pizza Mondays are a little crazy and their whole marketing campaign is a little off putting, but I've had amazing experiences at Planet Fitness and I really can't afford to go anywhere else.
I just wish some locations do stupid stuff like this.

If you like it, then great, the rates are fair and the hours tend to be true 24 hours, but I have had friends that tried it and set the lunk alarm off while they were on the treadmill huffing and puffing.

Can someone explain to me what this alarm is? I've never heard of it.

Its a big red light on the wall that's attached to a purple sign that says Lunk alarm and it flashes and makes noise if someone is being a "lunk"...No grunting, no dropping weights, no judging. i can tell you if they used it every time someone didn't wipe the machines off it would be going nonstop at my pf!

How does it get set off? Do one of the employees just creep on people and press a button when they feel somebody is doing one of these things?

I have no idea. I have never seen it go off in mine. You can't even find help when a machine is busted!

I would totally do it on those who don't wipe down but I can't see the grunting or huffing and puffing being an issue. You're not doing it to be rude, its just a natural thing!

That's no fun!

"Hey you! I don't like your shorts!" *bweep bweep bweep*

LOL Planet Fitness has a free pizza and bagel night every month for members...enough said

Yeah, I heard they force anyone who's a member to eat that pizza, too! Because they want to keep their customers fat so they keep coming back. It's a great business model!

I guess I showed them. I've belonged to PF for 6 years and I've never eaten the pizza on pizza night. Not because I don't want to, I LOVE pizza and eat it at least once a week, but too many grubby hands are touching it which grosses me out.

I'm still waiting for one of the staff to jump over the counter and tackle me to force a Tootsie Roll down my throat. I must not come in at the right time, because I've never even seen the pizza or bagels. I'm just thankful my PF doesn't do any of the things people here complain about all the time. The trainer is awesome, most of the staff is knowledgeable about the equipment (except the guy who told me the EZ curl bar was for rows), and there's a good mix of people of all fitness levels. I've never even heard the lunk alarm, and I've heard plenty of grunting, to the point where I had to stifle laughter because I thought I was listening to porn.
