The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Not to mention it's planet fitness

 

Gym fail. The lat pull down bar was heavier than the lowest weight. Pulled the pin, saw the weight start moving up. Had enough time to look up and get whacked in the forehead. Didn't hurt but it was pretty embarrassing. Hopefully I don't see myself on YouTube in a few weeks.

 

Haha, that's a pretty heavy bar

 

I am guessing the machine is screwed up. Only other times I have seen this happen is at the gym I go to when visiting my parents because they have make shift attachments the owner welded together or a machine is broke. It looked fine but the attachment wasn't 10lbs

 

Dude... I feel like a pro up there

 

Haha maybe they'll sponsor you

 

If I had a planet fitness I would probably sign up for the pizza. I think it's pretty hypocritical for a lot of people to bitch about it. Those same guys will finish a work out and pick up a hot and ready on the way home because they are "bulking". GTFO with that shit.

Or bitching about the alarm that goes off because someone is grunting? Not to long ago the guys in here where bitching about people grunting in the gym

 

Yea, but that alarm goes off for things other than LOUD grunting.

 

Yeah, like dropping and slamming weights. Another topic that is bitched about in here. Or judging/intimidating someone else. Something that shouldn't take place anyways.

 

Hmm. I don't care. As long as you're not yell-grunting practically making sex noises lmao. I don't always have music in and I just start laughing

 

idk, im too lazy to sign up for the chance for that LOL.... but im on here

 

What I don't like about Planet Fitness is how they boast about being a "judgement-free" zone, but contradict themselves by targeting traditional bodybuilders and labeling them as "meat-heads." If Jay Cutler walked into PF, they'd already have preconceived notions about him, simply because he's big. Sure, I hate it when dudes grunt in the gym and act like tools by trying to intimidate folks, but the majority of gym-goers don't act like that. Most people get in, lift, and leave. There are exceptions to the rules, though. No matter what gym a person goes to, there is going to be an idiot or two screwing up everyone's good time. PF disregards that most gym-goers are decent people, no matter how big they are and automatically assumes that anyone who can bench over 315 is a dick head.

 

I miss my 365/24h gym

 

Exactly, in some ways it may be the best fit though. The price is affordable though, for me I can't justify $50 or more a month elsewhere since I'd be lucky to get there once a week

 

I can't be mad at their prices. $10/month is good, but I don't think I'd fit in very well there lol

 

I don't think many people do fit in except the ones who want to say "I go to a gym, so I'm healthy" or people who just wanna get midsized or run on treadmills

 

They actually have an alarm that goes off of someone is loud?

 

Yes, the "lunk alarm"

 

and if you go past benching just the bar this happens...

 

the one near me includes tanning for the $10 bucks a month...iv been tempted just for the tanning membership
