pizza at the gym?!

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:

    I seriously might do this next time....but they might kick me out, lol. I'll need to be all stealthy ninja if I try it.

    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!

    Dude, they should really have beer too. If you're gonna serve pizza at a gym you might as well go all out!

    that is really weird to me! i go to lifetime and they have a cafe inside that serves food that is good for you. yeah, they have quesadillas and stuff, but the calorie counts aren't terrible and they give you veggies and stuff as sides.

    That totally makes sense to me. Pizza (and apparently bagels in the am)...not so much!

    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!
