you give all meatheads a bad name. Aloud? I think you meant allowed, cuntmuscle.[/quote]

Don’t knock cuntmuscles, those things are useful.[/quote]

Werd, cuntmuscle.

Has anyone read Spares written by Micheal Marshal Smith?

Basically there is another dimension apart from our own in the book and it starts to leak into ours and weird stuff starts happening. i.e. a new sport of jumping out of high rise buildings holding a stick or rich people having shopping explainers. People who’s job it is to justify expensive items.

Planet Fitness is just like that. A “gym” that promotes laziness!!! Its freaking crazy.

DO they make sandwiches?

Has anyone ever farted at work when you thought you were alone and then had someone walk in and want to be really close for no reason?

All the time, fucking hate that.

I think they sit outside my office and wait for the sound.

People should know by now that you go around guys at your own risk.

Question…do you yell out, “I just farted!”, or do you let them just walk into it?

Good luck with that, RV.

Anyone who signs their contract agrees with their policy (whether they’ve read the fine print or not). [/quote]

Why would anyone more muscular than a 5th grader go there in the first place?[/quote]

To set off the lunk alarm…

I work in a big, steel, pressurized box with 3-4 other guys. We try to avoid farting inside the box. Anybody caught blowing ass gets verbally berated for hours, then I delete the contact numbers off their work phone and change the log in passwords on their computers. We have the world’s shittiest IP phones, so putting all the contact info back in takes hours. For those “silent but deadly” farts where a specific transgressor can’t be identified, I simply turn up the speakers and play ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”, over and over and over and over and over. Eventually the perp will confess.

I have to believe the passengers on that airplane appreciate your restraint.

Im going to sue you for being so ugly.

Personally, I feel they are very close to being sued. It is illegal to discriminate against anyone on the basis of appearance. Thats like them saying, you can’t join cause your black or you have blond hair or your short or tall. that is 100% illegal. In the past, they have sort of hid their true feelings about not wanting bodybuiders from joining.

All its going to take is just one bodybuilder or serious lifter to file a law suit and that will end thier ways of doing business. Their commercials are so obviously bias against lifters, it doesn’t take a genious to see it. No business can discriminate, end of story. sure, they can have their rules of conduct, but they are now making it so plainly obvious they don’t want bodybuilders, their ways of doing business will come to an end within a few years, if that. [/quote]

who did you fuck to be allowed to continue breathing?

“discrimination” has “protected classes” - bodybuilder is not among them. please start holding your breath now and do not inhale until planet fitness is sued by a BB or “serious lifter”.

Cuntmuscles are awesome.

In fact, I’ll go so far as to say cuntmuscles are THE muscles a motivated woman should be striving to strengthen above all others. I honestly think wars and pestilences could be dramatically reduced worldwide if most cuntmuscles were much, much stronger. “Toned” even.[/quote]

Dr. Arnold Kegel agrees… as does Iron Dwarf.

Good point. Still not discriminating on race, religion, age, sex or sexual orientation. [/quote]

all of which are “protected classes” under the law. dipshit bodybuilder or serious lifter is not. like DB said, who the mother fuck cares what planet fitness does? it’s like giving a fuck what their doing at the gay parade next year (not that there is anything wrong with that - if you gotta march, by all means, march).

I think it’s funny that people like RV actually believe discrimination in ALL FORMS is illegal. First of all, it’s a private club. Private clubs get all kinds of leeway in terms of membership discrimination. You know there are things like “beautiful people” clubs in every major city in the US, right?

Even thirdruffian’s incorrect on what private clubs can discriminate on. Augusta National golf club doesn’t allow women to be members TO THIS DAY. That’s clearly discrimination based on sex, and absolutely legal. Not tasteful, but legal. The protected classes rules don’t apply. I’m surprised I’m the first one to point this stuff out, 2 pages into this thread.[/quote]

PF is unlikely to be treated as a “private club” since it’s open to the general public, whereas the country club you mention is not. Be careful with your arrogance…a little knowledge, is just a little knowledge :slight_smile:

Commerical gyms are not “private clubs” under the applicable laws.

“Private clubs” require member control of club operations, close selectivity of the membership selection process, whether substantial membership fees are charged, whether the entity is operated on a nonprofit basis, and the extent to which the facilities are open to the public.

In short, “private clubs” are country clubs, masonic groupes, etc.

A commercial gym opened to make money fails the test.[/quote]

my apologies…but you keep getting your foot in their ass first. excuse me sir! LOL

I, for one, am not going to complain about Planet Fitness.

I think of it as the “kiddie pool”. Shallow, safe, and full of pissy. No desire to step in it.

Anyone who is buying into the philosophy/lifestyle/message that PF is selling is best sequestered out of my gyms where they’d just be taking up space where I’m lifting.

Let PF have them all… and keep them. Keep them fat, keep them dumb, keep them happy. Feed them MORE free pizza and MORE free bagels.

Guess who doesn’t have to wait to use the squat rack in my ‘meathead gym’?

<— This guy doesn’t.

Does planet fitness even need to enforce its discrimination? What person who is serious about lifting would go to that gym, see their equipment/members/policies and still sign up? I’ve never seen a PF before, do they even have squat racks or decent sized dumbbells? Seems like the best way to keep heavy lifters and people making noise while lifting is to not have heavy weights in the first place.

Yeah, like the fatties at FP would really spend any time in a squat rack.

lol
