I wonder what would happen if you went into Planet Fitness and tried to exploit their “No Judgment” rule.
Say if you were to set the power rack pins in the lowest hole (if they even have a power rack) and do rack pulls, and when they come to tell you you can’t deadlift, tell them you’re not deadlifting, and that they need to stop judging your exercises.
Or when they tell you to stop grunting, tell them you’re not grunting but counting, and that they need to stop judging the way you count.
You should bring a mongoloid in there with you as a workout partner, preferably one who can move some serious weight. Resist the urge/need to grunt while you perform heavy sets of rackpulls, but encourage your mongo partner to grunt while he’s lifting. When they come over to tell him to stop grunting, this opens up a very, very wide array of possible responses, all of which would be appropriate.
For instance: “You jerk, can’t you see he’s fucking retarded as shit? You expect him to control his grunting? He involuntarily shit his goddamn pants on our second working set and you expect him to control his GRUNTING?! How much more judgmental could you be you sick monster?!”
If they walk away after profusely apologizing for being judgmental (you should milk this apology for all it’s worth and then some), start grunting yourself as well. Tell your mongo that he should go hit the Lunk Alarm if they return and continue to act judgmentally because that is what it is there for. If they return to tell YOU to stop grunting, while the mongo goes to hit the Lunk Alarm, flip out on the guy for not only continuing to be judgmental but for now being discriminatory as well. Right about now the Lunk Alarm should be going off.
With any luck, the douchebag employee will ask your mongo why he hit the alarm and the mongo will respond by saying that he thought it was the alarm for when people are being judgmental. This should hopefully send the employee over the edge, at which point you’ll be entirely justified to put him in a rear-naked choke and squeeze him until his cerebral cortex dribbles out of his nose in order to protect your mongoloid from this clearly judgmental, prejudiced, unhinged individual.

No, I am no longer a mongoloid. I used to be, but they’re doing amazing things with stem cell research in this respect. But I did shit myself involuntarily during a workout once. However, I don’t grunt when lifting; I tend to squeal and giggle and have even been known to bark like a dog at times. Using smelling salts causes me to roar like a rabid elephant. Will these sounds set off the lunk alarm? If so, I would go along with HolyMac as long as he held a gun to my head during heavy singles; this seems to be the only way to motivate me when I’m feeling down.
That’s why. If you grunt, drop the weight, or deadlift at a Planet Fitness, the lunk alarm goes off. And it’s usually a hell of a lot louder and on for longer.
Well you see, Planet Fitness is a judgment free zone, where people are free to exercise as they want without fear of being judged or intimidated by others. Having the lunk alarm is just a way to ensure that if anyone grunts, performs deadlifts, or does anything else that violates their code of etiquette they can be effectively singled out from everyone else in the gym and ostracized as a lunkhead who is intimidating others. After the lunk alarm is sounded, the person who caused it to go off is usually kicked out of the gym, though there are some cases where gym personnel have called the police to escort the person off the premises.
