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?

    Oooh....idea!

    Look up the pizza in the database and post a note next to the pizza showing how many cals per slice...see how many still take the pizza. LOL

    Well yeah, I know, that's why I kinda made it a disclaimer in my post, lol. Serves my needs though and it's dirt cheap. The pizza just threw me for a loop today! I walked in and totally did a double take.

    Ooh yes, THIS! I should totally do that!


    Oh and fear not, I had absolutely no desire whatsoever to help myself to a slice, lol. It's the very last thing I'd want while sweating my *kitten* off!

    It isn't just Planet fitness. My Gym Club24 has started doing that and I have heard of other gyms doing it.
    Thankfully for some reason I am never there when it happens.
    They just think if they give people a treat once a month it will keep the people going back to the gym.

    Planet Fitness has a reputation for being a not very serious gym. I guess this is an example of why. Greasy food near fitness equipment? Bad idea.

    I eat pizza, but there is a time and a place. I do NOT want to have it thrown up in my face at the gym. That's ABSURD!

    That is one of the reasons I did not go with Planet Fitness.

    Believe me, I am all for having treats/bad stuff sometimes. I definitely can't live with denying myself everything all the time. It's the whole sitting-on-a-weight-machine-with-a-giant-wad-of-pizza-in-your-mouth thing that really threw me! On the other hand it made me feel really good about myself as I was dripping sweat onto the treadmill! :laugh:

    there is a very simple and logical explanation behind all of this...lots of gyms will sell candy and soda and greasy foods...and all of this reason FAT=Money for a gym...the fatter they can keep you...the longer they will keep you ergo the more money they will get from you!
