If so, their judgement free policy would be further clouded beyond all recognition.

True. Plus if they didn’t do it somebody else would.

I’ll just tell them that it’s not my fault, I have bad genes and I can’t help it that I ate all the pizza.

Everybody was like “whoa, dude! You are at a hardware store. You need to go to the bakery down the street” so I torched the place.
Showed them whats up.
I fucking rock. Like a hurricane.

I like your style!
I don’t know if anyone has noticed but PF is the total Barney gym. It’s pink and purple for fuck’s sake. Barney like that stupid kids show animal.
Also those screw-sucks judge everybody. No judgement zone my ass. If you breathe wrong they judge you, put down a weight without curtseying and they judge you, and they wouldn’t even let me bring in my 1 gallon jug to drink from because they said corporate wouldn’t allow it because it intimidates people. My jug of water intimidates people!!?? Those PF shit balls can bite a dick.
Everyone from TNation should get together and become a member of pf and set off the lunk alarm
^ Or show up post-workout just to spike dat insulin.
I am in complete disbelief that this promotional video for A GYM opens with them boasting about how they offer free pizza and tootsie rolls…WTF
I also like how the one employee says that they want to show that fitness isnt a “serious” thing, as if theres anyone on this site that looks good who isnt “serious.”
It angers me greatly that such a place is allowed to exist.
Anyone else notice that there was not a single person in that video who looked like they went to a gym?

You’re being so judgmental right now. No wonder they made these you rules you big lunkhead
I may have mentioned it earlier, but my old neighbor owns like 8 PF’s and makes a fucking killing. People sign up cuz it’s cheap, don’t go, and don’t cancel because it’s a hassle and so cheap. Solid business plan.

People have different goals. Most just want to be “not a fatass” and given the number of fatasses there are that’s not too bad. They’re open about what customers they want and while you’re not allowed to deadlift heavy in there at least it doesn’t come as a shock after you’ve signed up for a year.
Putting the casual lifters in one place isn’t that bad either. If only good gyms were more common.

Do people really have different goals? I hear this, but I’m not sure I believe it. Who doesn’t want to look awesome? You don’t want a wide back and big arms? What woman doesn’t want a smaller, tighter ass and to ditch her “bingo wings”?
How many guys don’t wanna be able to do a bunch of pull ups or bench 6 plates?
I think different goals might mean “I don’t wanna work that hard”. I mean this in a general sense, not literal.
Definitions of awesome can vary. Do I want to look like Ben Bruno or TC? Or Brad Pitt from fight club, or that guy from Thor? Or do I not care about looks much at all and just want to bench and squat huge…or, for that matter, set records in the 400 yard race.

I’ve known several. Most don’t care. Many just want to get rid of their belly fat. Some don’t even care about that; they’re just doing it to get their blood pressure down.
On the other hand, most guys who come here seem to generally want those same things.

X 2. I said the same thing in a previous PF thread. It’s a business model to snag the golden geese of the fitness industry, aka the wheel spinners who join up, quit, but keep paying. Those that do cancel will end up joining again the following January because PF provide such a comfortable environment to fail in.

Yeah. People want awesome to be effortless.
Plus, lots of people want to look awesome, but there are many different opinions on what awesome is. That, and the majority of people don’t have it in them to get there as soon as they realize diet or exercise will take them out of their comfort zone - PF is a sort of physical manifestation of that…
People will happily eat chocolate or drink until they vomit, but if they even feel the slightest bit nauseous during exercise, they tap out.
