My 5 year old likes to watch SpongeBob. On one episode, there’s a place called 'Weenie Hut Jrs.". I swear, after looking at the Planet Fitness website, it reminded me of the show.

That gym disgusts me. It’s more like a gym for the elderly, even then.
Seriously go to the PF gym and do some loud grunting on video, then flex right in front of the gym owner’s face and be like, I NEED TO GRUNT TO KEEP MY MUSCLES HYOOOOOOGE!! then point to the surrounding people and be like, they don’t grunt, they stay small, weak and PATHETIC!!
or any close variation that seems better to you.[/quote]
Yes! Somebody with the same idea! So, how about it, guys? Are we in for the video of a lifetime or what?
Haven’t heard back from Petedacook yet. But I’m definitely in. I have already tormented Lifetime Fitness and Crossfit DC. Punishing PF only seems fair.
Unfortunately, it’s all about business. We have to face facts that serious training is still a subculture. It’s hard to run a business catering to a subculture. The hardcore hole in the wall gyms that I grew up in died out in my area in the late 90’s.
You can find this distinction in almost any business, a good example is the music industry. Most people who are really into music, don’t get their music from the radio, don’t watch the grammys, don’t watch MTV (do they have music anymore) and don’t care who sells the most albums. People who do those things are into what’s popular, and want to fit in with their peers, they are not usually true music lovers.
The same thing applies to the fitness business.

Yeah man, the thing is people don’t like putting any effort into anything. If it’s not dumbed down or made easy for them, they don’t deal with it. In the case of music, most people won’t even listen to anything the radio doesn’t tell them they should. And it is the same all over.
Dude, PF’s website’s background is pastel pink…
You bumped a year old thread to make your first post?

That’d be fun. Just go batshit crazy and yell “fire” and bolt out of there.
Wow.
Well, congrats on your first post.
