For the record, since some people seem to be taking this seriously, my comments were tongue in cheek.

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.[/quote]
I mean, 10 dollars a month for weekly free bagels and pizza, tanning bed and massage chair access… I sure wouldn’t lift there but I think finding a nearby one to take advantage of these deals could be a decent idea for anyone =p Unless the pizza is shitty quality, then fuck that.

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.

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”. [/quote]
AAAAAH bodyguard, my favorite hater. listen bud, This is my planet, your just living on it. Remember that fuck nuts.

Fixed.
This case could never be won. First of all no protected classes are involved so there is no legal problem. You might have a chance of shaming them into changing the policy if it were no fat people, but it still wouldn’t be illegal. But much like a fat chick can bitch about skinny women and ugly people can jump on the good looking and short guys can hate tall men; not much sympathy is going to go the way of the good looking fit in shape crew.
It is a remarkable idea in a way you start a business that caters to people that don’t really like using your product so your facilities never really need any maintaining. Your labor cost stays low because you need minimal staff, and yet you still make money because people like to say they belong to a gym.
A separate thought is why do people insist on going places where they aren’t wanted socially and they don’t particularly even want to go. No one who works out seriously wants to go to PF. Is it really more pleasurable to annoy others than to work out somewhere else with like minded people? You can see this in a million other social situations.

maybe. let’s meet. but if your mind really operated like this (and other posts), I might think you’re “cool”, but I’d still say you’re dumb.

No, it’s not.
You can’t discriminate against a “protected class” based on a person being (or percieved to being) part of a protected class.
The protected classes are: sex, race, religion, national origin, veterans, sometimes age, and sometimes disability.
I suppose you could find out if this had a disparet impact on men and possibly veterans, but it would be a stretch.[/quote]
This is your first post on T-Nation, and you already have a spelling error. It’s supposed to be “perceived”, not “percieved”. Welcome to T Nation, asshole.

You missed “disparate.”[/quote]
Dis pirate (dis parrot is missing).

Wtf you guys are in the zone in this thread!
Literal lols at BOTH your last two posts, Big Lifter.
dshroy gets bonus points both for initial lols followed by an irony-induced and1. Nice.

I posted this very quick and easy challenge to clip11. Take a camera phone (who doesn’t have one?) snap a quick pic of yourself right now holding a piece of paper that says T-Nation RV haters go fuck yourselves or whatever, slam it into your computer and shut up all the haters.
Tellingly, clip11 has not responded to this request.
Will you?
Though I think he’s usually off-base around here, I actually do like RV.
Everyone has a unique role on these forums, and RV is quite an entertaining character.
Carry on.
