The “gym bros” are the best part at my gym, if your doing something wrong they will nicely show you how to not hurt yourself and the best way to get your gains. Best cheerleaders as well
This so much. Also not necesarily gender specific, although some women are weird af (likely on defensive stance thinking you want to score) .
First time I've ever been cheered on energetically was this young girl. She was red as a flag so I went ask her if she was ok and complimented her on pushing herself so hard and doing full range movements at it. Later we ended up sharing racks and after i spotted for her she became the hype woman on her turns, it was big nice.
nice joke bro
Gym bros are nice people, it's the influencers with the camera you need to worry about.
no way asmons spaghettis arm can lift 40.
Yeah I don't buy it lmao. 40 pound dumbells are actually more heavy than you'd think
Yeah he literally said he *used* to do 30, as if he got stronger doing what he does lmao
I was abt too say I’m on 25s 150 and workout everyday Nfw
No way your the final product of your parents
Not in a millions yrs is he lifting 40 with one arm, possibly two
I’ve been a gym rat for decades and seeing people who aren’t fit in the gym is so motivational! I love you working out and sharing any knowledge I have! If you’re a bully you don’t belong in a gym.
I've been going to the gym for a few years now. I was morbidly obese when I startes. I am still obese, closing in on overweight. I've gone to multiple gyms because I had to move town twice and the first gym I went to closed due to Covid economic issues. I have NEVER had a single issue. EVER. No weird looks, no comments, nothing but an encouraging environment. I haven't even seen any planet fitness (I think its a USA thing?) but from what I heard it seems to me that even leaving aside all the issues, PF is just... useless. I mean if your issue is you don't wanna go to the gym because you're self conscious. What you need is to go to the gym so that image disappears. You don't need a "gym for people who don't go to the gym", that's ridiculous and counter productive. Even without the pizza, without the lank alarm, without the dress code, without the membership issues... Take away all that. Its still a bad idea.
I've been in and out of gyms. Whether on an army post or PF. I've honestly never had anyone talk down on me. I've had people come over and talk me up while I'm trying for a new max (even if it's low) doing a Bench Press.
Most people mind their business. They're there for their own personal improvement.
Gallon jugs of water is pretty dumb to take with you to a gym. I'd kick them out if I owned my own gym.
Sadly the only gym in my area is planet fitness but im pretty sure id get kicked tf out lol. Im wantin to get back into shape, I stopped working out after I got out of the army cuz my knee is kinda fucked up.
But after riding my bike to walmart yesterday my ass nearly heat catted and was exhausted. Im like 145 lbs soakin wet now and im 5'8. When I served I was 165 nearly 170.
I saw a prior service dude joggin while I was omw back, dude was jacked and made me miss lookin like that and being that healthy.
@@Theredmeep852never give up brother, you can fucking do it! 💪
On the topic of the "lunk alarm": I've 100% experienced this at Planet Fitness. I was new to a leg press machine, was having trouble locking the back into place for positioning it properly, dropped the metal bar (that was probably less than 5lbs) used to lock it into place, and suddenly my ears are exploding. If anything, it made me feel self-conscious and judged for not knowing how to adjust the back of the machine. I wasn't kicked out or anything, but it was extremely unsettling with how random and insanely loud it was, and if I had been lifting weights at the time, I very well may have dropped them.
the Lunk Alarm is way too loud. One time I was at PF, someone set off the alarm and it wouldn't shut off, so it ruined my workout and I just left. I complained about it to PF, but their PR team just told me they don't control individual gyms.
I used to go years back and the one time the alarm went off I had earbuds in but it was still stupidly loud. Myself and most others stopped what we were doing and glared at the staff like ‘are y’all F’ing serious??’. It’s truly the dumbest gym.
I've been going to planet fitness almost everyday after work mon-fri for the last two years at peak hours and I've never heard a lunk alarm go off people drop weight on those machines all the time grunting and all. I call BS
@@donbeaster1903 I dunno what to say, dude. This was in 2013 or 2014, and it was a solitary experience in the ~18 months I went there. Once again, no one confronted me about it or anything, but it scared the shit out of me, and I did legitimately feel a bit embarrassed about not knowing how to adjust the back of the leg press and that deafening alarm went off. Not saying it was used to shame people or that it happened regularly, just that it does, in fact, exist, and is not wholly a gimmick.
@@donbeaster1903 same I’ve been going for 2 years and never heard it. I’ve heard people SLAM weights or moan loud af but nothing happens. I think the staff have to manually turn it on and most don’t give a shit.
To use his example, I was that near 400lb guy in a normal gym, going 1mph on a treadmill drenched in sweat, barely hanging on. If anything, the community was cheering me on. It's been my experience that people in normal gyms absolutely aren't sitting there harassing new/overweight people. As long as you're there to put in the work, I've never met a more inviting community. Since I moved and had to use a Planet Fitness due to lack of a real gym in the area, I've never felt more judged at a gym. I'm down to 260lbs and now I'm in a gym that doesn't allow barbells, heavy weight, large waterbells, etc. And on top of that, we're in the gym trying to lose weight and you've got a gym shoving pizza, bagels, and donuts at people. Most of us are the size we are because of our lack of self-control, and you offer up a vice? Good business model, but as a gym, this place is a joke.
99% of experienced fitness people don't look down on anyone and are in fact cheering you on, the people that look down on others are just general a*holes regardless and often fairly new to the scene themselves. Agree with the other part of what you said about the foods offered there etc and congrats on your progress
U still will do it :)) ♡♡♡
Keep going! We go Jim
Gold's Gym member for years, always was willing to help or give advice. Went to Planet Fitness and get judged for being in shape as soon as you enter the building.
I don't think it's so much about how they act towards people, I imagine most people are going to mind their own business. I think a lot of these people might go to a normal gym and see it packed with all these extremely fit people and they're one of or even the only person who's considerably over weight and feel quite insecure about it and be much less likely to go back...I think that's what they mean by "intimidation." I think it's a good idea, giving people a place to go where they might not feel out of place but their view on people who are already healthy and the irrelevant things like having a big water bottle just feel so toxic.
Asmon giving fitness advice is actually hilarious
"MCDonalds isnt that bad" LOL, as if he has any form of reference, having eaten half a tomato as his only vegetable his whole life :P
peak human performance right there.
he has a pretty good grasp of the general principles tbh just because he doesn't do them himself doesn't mean he can't comprehend what goes into it
@@DethrowDestruction He does seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how bodybuilders utilize different weight and rep ranges, which implies to me that he has a basic grasp of higher fitness concepts but hasn’t done a deep dive to really achieve understanding. Which is fine honestly, it’s not his scene and he all but said in the video he doesn’t intend to use the gym to see his maximum potential but rather to get in shape. It’s just a little concerning when big creators talk about fitness given how much misinformation is present in the space
He said he could do 10x 40 lbs. I checked it out and the internet says 40 lbs is around 18 kg.
I call this bullshit he is never be able to do 10x 40 lbs.
I'm a skinny dude, I got kicked out for curling 'too much' and someone complained. As one does, I had two 35lbs, was curling and overhead pressing. Appearently that made someone feel bad.
You know who does help others in the gym? The super buff dudes, friendliest people in there are also the biggest, most helpful, and always motivating others to do their best.
Also to note, you rep what you can start comfortably, you only max lift for pr, and thats like a monthly progress test.
Yeah lie lmfao
@@jlo7770 keep cryin'
the buff dudes in my gym are nice peoples, so fuckin' true, they have taught me great tips for bench press and how to get out of less weights on machines, free weights etc.
That’s a straight lie
Fitness community at large in most gyms are the most friendliest helpful community in the planet. Half of the workouts I know of are things I picked up from other people and just talking with dudes. Many other gyms also have free programs or programs part of your subscription where they can teach you fundamentals of certain workouts, how to maximize, and prevent injuries. Idk how PF did it but they got the worse people in those gyms and some of the snarkiest people.
i worked the planet fitness overnight desk position, did it for 2 years. It was super easy just had to file some paperwork at midnight,answered calls which was usually just somebody prank calling. Whenever anyone asked me a question over the phone, i could not just answer it, i had to drone on and on from this script we had to read. I felt like a robot, my manager was a nice guy but planet fitness had him by the balls. I remember an elderly woman calling me one time and my boss was there, she was telling me her husband had passed and would like to cancel,my boss had the nerve to ask for proof of his death to cancel it, i was appalled.
That’s truly disrespectful, I would’ve have walked out right there to avoid another death
I mean - that's the law though?... I work in a position where we handle customer's accounts and stuff and due to privacy laws we cannot simply cancel a customer's subscription or close someones account because someone claiming to be their wife calls us. We should of course be empathetic and understanding of the circumstances, but we simply cannot make changes on our system without a death certificate. Although once we have a death certificate then things will go smoothly. Maybe at most you could give a free month so that no payments would be taken from the customer and allow them time to handle the proceedings?
Maybe the way how the laws in your state work are different, but in my job that's pretty much a given that during a death a certificate will be required so that we could close the profile/account.
That's normal
@@KoinzellGaming it’s a $15 a month subscription. You absolutely can cancel it. Nothing will happen. The law won’t & doesn’t need to be involved. Crap like this is soooo annoying to deal with as a customer & why Ai/automation is going to take over these positions because at this point you might as well just be talking to a machine if the person on the other end of the phone can’t compute that the person is dead and won’t be needing the squat rack anymore.
@@tremoneyv A.I workout robot is working out too loud. Then A.I robot pulls lunk alarm. Then buff, A.I workout robot jumps the counter and the A.I police are called to break up their fight.
the funny thing is the non-judgmental environment of planet fitness is somewhat redundant now, because gym culture frowns heavily on mocking people who are trying to make a change and improve their health. last time I saw someone mocking a fat person at the gym was also the time I saw a beef cake lifter scold said person making fun of that fat person and got right in his face, we want people to improve and feel comfortable in the gym.
Gigachad lifter
that's the camaraderie baby! I wish more ppl understood this!
everyone that takes training seriously knows how hard it really is so they respect anyone that tries to get in better shape, it's even harder if you start as fat so there's even more respect there.
They're just trying to get people who've never been to a gym to go. My daughter didn't want to go with me for the exact reason. She thought people would look at her funny and I told her it's a judgement free zone. She still goes at least 3x a week and this was 6 years ago. I like planet fitness.
Yup gym culture is generally rather supportive especially to new members. The only time i've ever seen anyone mocking a newbie was when an experienced lifter approached a newbie that was doing frankly dangerous stuff.
The lifter tried to explain how to do the exercise safely (deadlift) and suggested the newbie drops some weight from the bar so as not to injure himself. The newbie didn't take that well and started going off throwing meathead insults so the experienced lifter finally snapped insulted the newbie back and went you do you but dont come to me when you get hurt.
Now when you get to advanced lifters there's quite a bit of toxicity and mocking among them but a lot of it is just people being competetive. But blaming steroids or claiming to be a natty when you're not is very common.
I've been lunk alarmed at a PF because I used too heavy of dumbbells and I guess somebody complained. Had to use PF because it was the only gym near the hotel on my trip. I am not an ego lifter, nor judgmental towards anyone stepping foot in a gym to meet whatever goal they have set for themselves. I felt so awkward when the employee came over to me to tell me that the alarm was gong off due to me. I honestly had no idea what to do or how to act and felt too uncomfortable to finish my workout. I didn't drop the weights, make any grunting noises or anything. Someone was just upset by me existing there. I put the weights back and left. If this is the type of environment you want PF to be by all means I will stay the F away.
@@ItsMeBarnaby I think it was the fact that I wasn't out of shape enough to be using the heavy dumbbells. So by being in shape and lifting "heavy" , 60lb dumbbells I think, I was making someone uncomfortable.
I find it funny that people purposefully setting it off to show the absurdity of the lunk alarm gets some people riled up. Imagine you tore a muscle or something while lifting those. No way you're staying quiet probably but doesn't matter to them. Probably would have been lunked there too
I will say one annoying thing is that a lot of gyms have adopted this "safe space" mentality because they see its marketable. So it's getting to the point where you can't seriously lift most places without worrying you'll offend someone or God forbid "intimidate" them.
It's a great idea and we should ALL wear burkas. Then if you slap someone on the butt, and we're all wearing burkas, she won't know who did it. But then you realize it's a he by mistake.
Maybe burkas should be optional, after all.
The funny part to me about the "Judgement Free Zone" is that people at regular gyms are not judgemental. Fit people at gyms don't go around looking down on the less fit people... the majority of the fit people are friendly and helpful.
I also think it creates this 'boogyman' effect on real gyms to anyone who goes to PF.. it's like training your brain to think that normal gyms are threatening and dangerous especially if you've never entered a 'real gym' before.
I don't think it inspires confidence.
As a certified personal trainer and someone who has worked in the fitness industry for almost 15 years, I can confirm that January 1st is very much like a new release in games.
I always have A's for P.E. and Weight training class back in school and used to subscribe to Planet Fitness around summer vacation. Whenever January comes, it gets packed because of New Years resolution bs, and they keep stealing the equipment whenever I go the bathroom or getting water, and I really hate finding any Vacant equipment because I can't tell if somebody is using it or not
@@brayanargandonaflorentino548 You just use an empty soy milk bottle for #1 and a bucket for #2 under the counter, and keep a water bottle. Then no one ever steals again. If your manager comes in and finds the pee or poop containers, just pull the lunk alarm. I've got ideas.
Yeah, I was joking with my personal trainer that we needed to make a bet about how many people that signed up with her Jan 1 would be gone by Feb 1. It's crazy how many people pick that date, but rarely carry through
We need an Asmon exercise stream immediately!! There's NO WAY he can do 40lb curls haha
Would love for him to do monthly exercise streams to show us progress and stuff if he goes down that path.
I think people who don't lift really over-estimate how much they can lift. It's not a pride thing. It just does not seem like it can be THAT heavy. But it is.
Think he meant chest press tbh
He has to be talking about chest presses. No fucking chance he can curl 40s. 😂
While we are at it I think it's funny that Planet Fitness Dumbells **only** go up to 60lbs. I'm pretty sure nobody who is doing anything serious with 60 lb dumbbells is going to Planet Fitness. For the people that go there, this is more than sufficient. Most will move to a better gym way before they get there.
@@dezmodium Exactly this. Planet Fitness is a gym entirely for beginners. You graduate from Planet Fitness to more serious gyms, you're not supposed to stay there. IMO once youre in the 300lb club its time to move on.
I was really obese, and Planet Fitness made me feel more uncomfortable than a real gym. At planet fitness, everyone was reserved and side eyeing, etc. And it really didn't feel like anyone there could help you. But once I started going to a real gym, all the people there were extremely friendly and helpful and wanted nothing from you but to help you succeed in your fitness journey. I think planet fitness creates its own toxic environment by alienating all the people who truly care about fitness.
Exactly 💯
Thats bcs u wanted to improve not being pated on back
It's in the name "Planet Fitness", it's not a gym to work out, lose weight and gain muscle mass in, it's a theme park-esque experience to enjoy.
Asmon saying he can do curls for 10 reps of 40 is the biggest cap ever
Yeah my gym teacher does 40’s and he’s short but he has big arms. My dad is 5,9 180 pounds and he does 30’s and 40’s casually so if asmon can do as much as a person who works out daily for a living and another who runs weekly and goes to the gym weekly then I would be surprised. Asmon is just an underweight tall guy, doubt in a million years he could do 1 rep of 40.
@@ragecounterfit309 damn how stupid do you feel now🤣🤣
probs lbs
@@nikkoREEE 40 lbs is still like 17kg no shot each of his arms can curl 17 for 10
Asmon is 6'3 bro, dudes a fucking giant, he can lift 40s just with that fact alone.
Similar to what Rage said, "5'9 180 pounds strongman does 40s casually (10 reps 3 sets)";
A 6'3 ~190 pounds weakman, can similarly lift 40s (10 reps 1 set), just because thats how weight works.
The efficiency & mid/end results (how exhausted he will be) will be drastically different, but biologically speaking its extremely achievable.
I think it’s obvious that every location is different, but I got talked to by the staff at one by my house for trying to help my Mom get into shape. They felt by training her and helping her I was creating a poor environment for others. We were doing light weight on machines quietly to ourselves. The issue they had was me writing down weights and reps to track her progress.
True every location is different mine doesn’t do any of what Asmond has a problem with I asked why and they said they like to be a chill and positive environment
@@mp6732 before planet fitness I went to club fitness I literally had to lie that I was moving to a location that didn’t have a club fitness within 50 miles
The cancellation policy for Planet Fitness and even LA Fitness is insane. I had to cancel a membership at Anytime fitness last year and showed up ready to go to war. The woman just said “oh okay, I just cancelled it. Keep your key fob incase you decide to come back”. I was absolutely flabbergasted to see that not every gym was like Planet Fitness and LA fitness.
no the real issue is that they have thier own trainers in house and you're not allowed to train anyone because they want you to pay to use thier trainers
@@SonGokuSleepTherapy I know that is the general policy at gyms, but this was like 10 years ago and that location didn’t have trainers period.
I’m a personal trainer and I deliberately choose people who look gross bc I know I can make them look fuckable and when they transform themselves and start to get really happy about their progress that’s a great feeling
Yeah and if it’s a woman who gets in shape she’s probably gonna leave her boyfriend or husband
@@grimreefer213 Chronically online alert
@@JaneDoe-ym7de What? It’s the truth, i’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it. I just find it funny that he’s a personal trainer and gets satisfaction from “making people look fuckable”, and as soon as a woman becomes more attractive then chances are she’s gonna leave her shlub boyfriend lol. So in a way he’s potentially facilitating the demise of these people’s relationships if they’re in one. But as long as they’re healthier and look better then i’m happy for them
@@grimreefer213 is that what your wife/gf did to you?
@@grimreefer213 if they're relationship wasn't strong enough to stand one getting in better or shape, that may not be the best of relationships and why should someone have to hold themselves to a lower standard? Especially if it's the healthier option..yes the word fuckable was a ridiculous way to describe it, but getting into better shape should always be a positive..
The pizzas and bagels are actually a much bigger issue than it seems. Your gut determines what you’re having cravings for and people who need to lose weight need to change their gut microbes in order to diet effectively long term. This often requires a few months of completely burning any carbs or unsaturated fats out of your diet, but that can’t happen if your eating pizza and bagels once a month.
Cutting carbs makes you loose weight exercise has very little effect, but building muscle where you can is always a good idea and makes you burn more calories....
@@mccock3154 Carb cutting (Keto, Paleo, Carn, etc) is just water shedding and your SHBG levels tank when you completely cut carbs; you're essentially living in a near-dehydration state at all times
This isn't a fact. The truth is that a lot is unknown and people have different bodies. No extreme diet is the right diet. The bottom line is they need less energy input than output.. They need to starve/eat less if they are that overweight.
@@Jettatura-yn8ss you’re right it isn’t a fact and a lot is unknown however if a person is overweight they likely need to keep that calorie deficit over the rest of their life. It is very likely based on what we know that your gut biome effects your cravings and if a person has cravings for unhealthy foods it’s unlikely they will be able to effectively diet.
Thinking carbs and especially unsaturated fats are a problem is a sign of extremely obsolete nutritional knowledge.
the problem with the lunk alarm is not just that it is loud and obnoxious.
it can also make people too scared to try harder.
imagine going to a "non-intimidating" gym, only to be immediately intimidated when you actually try to improve yourself.
you've replaced "Look at that fatty, he's trying to get fit. What a loser!" with "Look at that fatty, he's trying to get fit. What a loser!"
wait this is genius. if you kill peoples will to push themselves they take longer to get in shape thus getting more money from their membership before they go to a better gym.
Never heard it at mine, i don't even think it's hooked up. must depend on how the area is lol.
It all depends on the gym, it's not the brand. If your gym has an asshole, then he'll ring it. Otherwise...just don't fucking scream or yelp out while you lift, or drop your weights so they slam, don't be a fucking douchebag at a casual gym lmao
Went off where I was, I was the stereotype they had on the walls, gallon of water, muscle shirt, heavy weights. It's not a welcoming place in the slightest.
I always thought that alarm was automatic so I was constantly worried about that alarm going off when I made noise. Felt like working out in a library.
I actually got in really really great shape at PF back in the day, but that alarm did worry me.
For those of us with junk food addictions - there being free pizza in the gym is a deal breaker. When I'm trying to better myself by not partaking in something that is counter to all of my goals I tend to avoid that thing which working out at that gym would be nigh impossible for that. I would have to white knuckle the entire workout smelling the thing, that's free, that I am addicted to.
@@TotalRejection It's 100% a thing
@@TotalRejection literally anything can be an addiction, and even if you don't know it, you have one
@@TotalRejection u can get addicted to anything. if its not physically addictive some ppl just have addictive personalities like me we have to really try to stop doing something when we enjoy it so much yet its being detrimental to ur health
@@TotalRejection "Lack of willpower" learn to challenge yourselves and not succumb to every little temptation. Its not heroin... you'll be okay.
@@KBacon90 you're dumb. Read a book.
For anyone who is unsure about going to the gym when you are fat, people are focusing on themselves, they know you are focusing on yourself also, just try make sure you know how to use things but don't be scared to look confused when figuring out a machine or asking someone for help with a machine (most have diagrams of how to use them)
Ayee i have been going to the gym for over a year, been a fat fuck all my life, honestly i never feel like anyone is looking at me, everyone is focusing on themselves
I like how sunnyv2 showed the clip where the guy was purposely grunting loudly and then just proceeded like the guy wasn't trying to cause a scene.
I know not every facility is the same, but my experience at PF is the complete opposite. We have skinny, fat, first timers and thiccc body builders. Never heard the alarm go off, and everyone is respectful. I've seen the experienced guys help people who are using poor technique and could hurt themselves. I'm pretty happy with the location I go to
Same here, it's not as sophisticated as say In-Shape, but the price is way cheaper and has the essentials.
Down in Florida, my PF is full of noobs and pros alike. Skinny dudes, thicc dudes, skinny girls, thicc girls, everyone. Never heard the alarm go off, never seen anyone get harassed.
Same here
Same. And I’ve never seen pizza or donuts offered there, either.
Same, I think it is mainly just a meme among people and maybe some sort of thing that a certain group of people shun but mainly no one cares.
As far as the Pizza/Bagel days at the gym… that’s just so messed up. As someone who has worked VERY hard on cutting calories and eating healthier over the last year, I can speak from experience and in the beginning for me it was so hard to stay on track with my diet. It is so easy for that one slice of pizza to suddenly trigger cravings and false ideas of “I deserve it” after working hard. Then all of a sudden that cheat meal turns into a cheat day. Sure, at the end of the day the responsibility lies with me to control myself but they definitely aren’t making it easy by rubbing the food in your face. Food can be a serious addiction.
I think the biggest problem with the lunch alarm is a contradicts their supposed idea of a 'judgment free zone'
You ain’t doing curls of 40 I thought he was saying dumbbell bench then he lost me 😂
Yeah it actually pissed me off that he would blatantly lie like that. Either he's lying, or he seriously overestimates his strength.
I was pretty out of shape a couple years ago, about 60 lb or so overweight. I knew I had to go to the gym everyday to form this new habit. I also had bad joints and terrible back pain so my doctor recommended that weight lifting would help. Long story short I lost all that weight and got kind of jacked. Nobody was judging me when I was out of shape, but now guys who don't work as hard are super insecure and like to make fun of me when I'm working out intensely. It has made me consider going to another gym since I'm probably not a beginner anymore.
Well done bro!
You leveled up passed them time to move to a new zone for more exp
@@anthonyhelmer2790 and new expansion pack
That’s cool bro. Those insecure guys are so lame
My husband and I once had a membership at Planet Fitness years ago. But we didn’t even stay for a year. Reason being they would come up to us and tell us we were not allowed to hug each other while we were working out. It was our way to encourage each other to do better and they complained about the PDA.
We also noticed on one day that every time we hugged each other, the Lunk Alarm would go off. We were around the corner from the front desk so they couldn’t see us but the camera was pointing right at us. No one was grunting or dropping weights, the only think you could hear was the ridiculous music. There was no reason to ring the alarm. So I tested it, and sure enough the alarm went off every time I flipped off the camera.
We confronted the front desk and they told us they weren’t watching the cameras and that the alarm was for weight dropping, which again, wasn’t happening. We cancelled our membership when we continued getting harassed and had better experiences at a local gym.
Tbf that's just odd behavior at a gym, you guys need to constantly hug?
@@Originalchili And monitoring a couple hugging isn't?
@@Brigtzen not if they’re in public… this also sounds like a Reddit story, do you know how long you have to hug for people to notice? I mean greeting someone with a hug is one thing, but constant hugs in a gym is kinda crazy… get a room
@@kiditachii4015 if they're hugging for motivation, it sounds more like they're doing it repeatedly, not continuously, after some exercises to keep each other hyoed and proud
i absolutely believe PF would lunk alarm over PDA because some people are just petty and hate seeing couples being couples
Edit: also... have you been in a loving relationship? You build each other up in some way, if they want to constantly validate each other then that's what they're gonna do. Besides, they don't need to "get a room", it's hugging, not French kissing lol
The first time I went to a PF, after having been in several other gyms prior, it immediately reminded me of some sort of 1990's dystopian future film. Hundred of treadmills, TV's everywhere, a staff who was almost entirely out of shape as if making a mockery of fitness.
I’ve been a pretty serious strength trainer for over 10 years now. I remember feeling intimidated and embarrassed when I was a beginner. The reality is that no one is paying attention to you at the gym. I currently go to one of the country’s most prestigious gyms, where Schwarzenegger and Coan trained, and there are tons of beginners here. I’ve never heard any of my experienced friends make a disparaging comment about a beginner. In fact, this would be pretty seriously frowned upon in gym culture. People passionate about fitness want other people to be passionate about fitness. As long as you’re observing basic gym etiquette, no one is going to judge you or even notice you for being a beginner.
That's not really true. The gym is not special, it is a social environment like any other where beginners can be shit on and laughed at.
@@cake8211 it can happen but it usually doesnt, like OP said most people passionate about fitness want other people to succeed, thats my experience as well
@@cake8211 It is a social enviroment but it is different, it's hard to explain but it's not like school or work
I disagree about no one paying attention to each other. Gym’s are hookup spots nowadays.
@@cake8211 It is special because everybody in that gym has been in that position of being out of shape and not knowing what to do. So they can immediately empathize.
In most social situations that isn't the case. IE the guy shitting on someone for being poor is probably only doing so because he has never experienced what it is like to be poor.
it amazes me how many people think you need a gym to get in shape. what you need is discipline. you can get in shape with basic push ups, sit ups, dips, swimming and jogging etc etc.
@@paintorian2064 if your comfortable....your not doing it right. no matter what size you are, you can do push ups, sit ups, flutter kicks, any number of things. no gym needed. diet will not make a difference if your not working hard.
@@VGameL0v3e12sF012Ree we didn't train any unusual muscles. There are no muscle groups that suddenly make you a better soldier. We trained our entire bodies.
If you know nothing on a subject it is better to keep quiet so people don't know that you know nothing. Rather than speak out and get called out.
@@finallychangedit4926 Bestcomment here. There are so many good exercises that you can do at home. A lot of people buy a gym membership because they believe the act of spending money on their health is somehow beneficial in itself.
If you've never grunted loudly while lifting, you've never maxed out your ability. At the very end of your potential, those grunts really do help get you over the hump.
Each to their own, I would rather focus on breathing but then again I don't often train max strength.
@@Sgt.Shadowsong both of you are correct honestly. I can't focus if I grunt during the workout because my energy feels like it's focused else where. However I do grunt/yell prior to a lift to get blood/adrenaline moving, it may not actually work, but it gets me in the "zone" and in the end whatever you need to do to bet to that is entirely up to the lifter
@@Sgt.Shadowsong ‘Focus on my breathing’ you cant breath if you’re in the middle of a press it confines the core and stagnates your reparation.
Sorry but this is just silly, you can’t breath and optimize output on the extremes. This is like trying to pee out your butt by trying to make yourself poo.
@@andrewlong9799 i am not sure who did it but the guy that deadlifted a world record so heavy he started bleeding from his nose and basically zoned out did not scream or grunt out loudly so not sure what your talking about.
False
Giving out pizza and bagels at a gym is like giving out free shots at an AA meeting.
No it's not. Not everyone, not even most people, at gyms are there because they are obese food addicts. Nice try though.
I went like a year paying my membership without going to the gym, so I can totally understand the mentality. I don't remember why I took a break from working out but I was planning to get back into it and just kept putting it off. And since it was only $10 bucks a month, it didn't seem like a big deal to cancel it. Plus, cancelling your membership feels like admitting you are giving up.
Gyms make a lot of their money from people who sign up and don't actually use their memberships. It makes perfect sense to try and discourage the people who will regularly use their memberships from wanting to go to your gym.
Edit: 20:35 Google says that a slice of pizza is 285 calories. So if your diet + workout has you at a calorie deficit of 100 calories, then you just lost 3 days of progress. If they have food like this out more then once a week you are no longer making progress.
Forreals! I havent gone in a year and still paying it, though my work place pays the monthly bills. It's made me feel lazy but my job is also very physical and that combined with not enough time just leaves me not wanting to go. I can't imagine how many people do this too 😂
@@HDGaminTutorials that's why you have to go in the morning before anything else. Saying one doesn't have time is just a way over used excuse, what I hear is a losers mentality. You gotta want it.
@@danielrogers3948 If he/she goes in the mornings, their job will be affected. A workout is a workout, whether it's done in the job floor or at the gym floor.
If you know about working out, this is also reflected in the "personal trainer workout plans" they hand you, those plans are fated to not have a long progress time from the get go.
Those casual gyms try really hard to make your effort as ineffecient as possible.
And most people trust those "trainers", which I only see as clowns in most gyms.
What logic is this? Are you not supposed to eat? Why can't the pizza be one of your meals for the day?
Seriously, people get TOO fking obsessed with calories.
The point of working out is to get your muscles in shape so you don't rot and have energy, thus feel better. Burning calories is a side effect and will get better as your muscles get better. It shouldn't be your primary focus, that's a big reason people fail at exercise, the calorie counting stresses them out.
"I don't hate planet fitness"
Well you're about to
Got to hear the lunk alarm pressed for a full minute during closing time on an employee's last day.
It was mind-expanding...
"judgment free zone" lol. At any proper gym the floor is judgement free. Beginners and people trying to improve themselves are respected and encouraged. It's just all in people's heads to think that others are judging them and feeling uncomfortable being around fit people is just insecurity. The people in shape most likely respect you for working on yourself and getting into it.
I feel like those same people that feel insecure would feel super confident and possibly even egotistic when they get built. I'm a big guy and I'm not built. I'm doing dumbell workouts at home but I'm accepting that I'm not as strong as others and if I go to a gym I want to go somewhere where there are serious lifters to help me do it right
@@DoctorOaks oh I agree, those people are jackasses. It's really a mindset, there's always going to be crappy people and you can't let them keep you down. Why let them have power over you, if you know you're fat you know. You're there to get rid of the problem, just focus on that goal.
9 times out of 10 when you're new to lifting and go to a Gym the members you encounter are extremely helpful and offer to spot or give advice. At least in my experiences, they're some hardcore gyms where some owners are assholes and do stupid things to provoke people but in the long run it only makes them look bad. In the end everyone is there for the same goals, to be fit and to achieve something.
Yeah, it really tends to be the wannabe influencers who are late teens/early 20's making fun of people, usually by filming them without their knowledge for clout.
Cracked out jesus roasting planet fitness isn't something I thought I needed but here we are
I went there for 3 months with no issues, until one day I was doing cable pull-down until failure. My arms gave out on the last rep and the weights clinked a little too hard and I got escorted out. I was actually shocked
I work out at a local bodybuilding style gym and they don't like people slamming weights or being obnoxious. Literally have a sign on the wall saying "if you have to slam the weights, maybe you should lightne the load"
@@maybeitsyou1317 being an adult doesn't mean you instantly like loud sounds and aggressive people.
Keep that shit away from the public and behave like a normal person.
@@maybeitsyou1317 So it doesn't revolve around you too. So keep your damn weights in your hands and put it down quietly
@@donajonse yeah, just control the weights after completing a burnout.
I move weight and don't slam. Making noise and slamming weights ego lifting being obnoxious to bring attention to yourself are 2 different things lol. Doesn't make someone soft or whatever to not want to hear someone in a public space that you pay for be an idiot.
I can confirm that weights story, I went to a planet fitness and tried to do heavier weights and was asked to leave by an employee for intimidating their other customers
How is it intimidating? To who? I just don't get it
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 that’s a question for planet fitness I suppose
No you weren’t, stop lying
That one clip where the woman is complaining about the pizza while holding a slice is hilarious and really contextualizes this whole video
I used to work at planet fitness. They need 5-10,000 people signed up and not show up for the business to work. They also fire employees after they finish training and get new ones. Always having new employees so they never have to actually do what they’re supposed to.
The billing company that handles all Planet Fitness locations also handles Retro Fitness and several other chain gyms. Their business model is explicitly designed to make quitting extremely tedious, so that people keep their memberships and funnel the company money.
Funny, because I walked into my location months ago and quit in a few minutes.
@@dragons_red not all locations allow that to happen.
This is like paying an HOA.
Can I give you money to treat me like a child and scold me?
I've never had that issue at the gym with body builders only got encouraged and proud that I was coming the gym is really enjoyable for me and even one of my best buds is a body builder
The grunting and yelling I think is great. My first gym guys were doing this and I started yelling and cussing while trying to lift more and some of the guys laughed. I kepted going for 3 months and went from 145 lbs to 190 lbs. When I started I was curling only 25 lbs dumbells. After 3 months I was curling 75's trying my hardest to get to 80's. These guys laughing at me became my inspiration when they yelled while lifting. So I imitated. I might have motivated some to keep coming in to laugh,idk. But I made some friends there because I adapted and kept going. It didn't intimidate me. These guys were great and became supportive anytime I had questions. That intimidation thing in the gym comes from trying to compare yourself to someone else.
Sure you see models, muscular huge and generally gorgeous people in the gym and you want that look too. Who wouldn't? You came to the gym to do this. But those gorgeous or muscle people started from somewhere. I think PF doesn't help with comparing yourself with others and it is the source of insecurities. You might ask here why I stopped going to the gym after 3 months? Because I reached my goal. I just didn't want to be excessively skinny anymore. So even after all of it I'm just a casual who just wanted a little muscle in the least amount time possible and had some fun learning from great people who take it way more serious than I do and I respect them a lot because I came in not just to get bigger and stuff. But to learn from them and live and breath this world they're in until I learned what they know and when in Rome do as the Romans.
Asmond always makes me feel better. I’m in hospital and I just wanted to let him know it really makes a difference being able to click on a video and just listen and relax. It has helped me so much idk why but it’s just a comfortable at home cozy kinda of feeling that I get when I listen to him and yeah that’s all. LOVE YOU ASMOND THANK YOU💕💕💕💕
Hope you get better soon!
Hope you feel and get better soon‼️♥️
You wanted to let him know? Or you wanted to let the world know? Here's the pity you're looking for in the form of a "like"
feel better soon!! :D, good vibes to you!
@@lucasgregory6375 I don't think there's anything wrong in seeking some closure. Maybe they feel alone, maybe they just want someone to talk to. Who knows?
I was at a PF and a group of asshats were talking about this big dude on the treadmill. I said the same thing Asmond said. At least he's making an effort, good on him.
I feel like if they mainly provided a welcoming environment that accepted all kinds of gym goers and encouraged its members to assist each other in a positive way then I truly believe this whole thing could have been avoided. It's fine to kick out those who are being toxic or those who provide a negative workout environment but instead they choose to ban everyone who knows what they're doing and could have provided assistance or advice to those who are just getting into working out for the first time. Every time I've ever gone to a gym all the guys I ever saw were pretty nice and encouraging, especially to a newcomer like me.
The problem is yelling and grunting actually gives people a boost in strength. It’s why professional weight lifters yell like that all the time before they lift.
There was a car dealership that sold life insurance to customers but never told the customer. That's kind of the idea with Planet Fitness. I get the attempt to curate an environment, but the profit comes from people not going to the gym to begin with. It's a weird business structure that comes off as selling life insurance to people and not telling them you're doing it.
There will always be people that judge at any gym you go to. It doesn't help anybody if you care what other people think of you. Going to the gym is for YOU, not for anyone else. Focus on you and your progress, focus on changing your diet, etc.
When I worked at one of their locations a coworker and myself disabled the lunk alarm permanently (unless they replace the entire system) because the manager was a massive Karen when it came to certain customers (ie larger people, bone thin individuals and body builder size) and it would cost us about 20% of the customers leaving
I really do think it depends on where you are. Cause like the lunk alarm only goes off where I go if and only if someone drops really heavy weights. And I mean they drop them. Because I can set mine down and you’ll hear it but it’s so subtle so nothing happens. Also most people who workout at mine that are big are so encouraging or will help you if you are doing something wrong. I’m the 4 months I’ve been going I’ve had at least 3 people say “hey I see you doing this workout try doing it like this” helping me improve
A guy came in the other day he had to be a plant…he did all the disallowed stuff. Tank top, crocs, grunting, gallon water jug…no one hit the alarm. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it after months of goin 4x weekly
I can tell you from experience, grunting can sometimes slip out. I try so hard to be courteous, but when I go 100% sometimes it just squeaks out because I'm literally giving it everything I can.
Yeah, but I would be surprise if they alarm you if you do it once, maybe it happens I have no idea but for me the lunk alarm sounds like a way to push an etiquette not to punish people to train. I would ask the manager what is the etiquette as even exercise on a cardio machine on high-intensity program can warrant a grunt/exhaustion noise.
Yea but i think asmon means theres a difference between grunting and yelling like the dude in the video lol
Yeah, some grunt getting out on the last rep or 2 of going to failure isn't abnormal. Though dudes in that clip def seemed to be doing it on purpose 😂
Ive been going to my gym for over a year now. I get so happy when i see people i recognize, even if ive never spoken a word to them. And ive only ever had one guy flirt with me, and he was so smooth i was almost sad to turn him down cause i was married, but as soon as i told him, all he said was tell my husband he was a lucky man and went to his workout. That was the first time I actually felt like my hard work was paying off. Im down close to 40 lbs now, and 20 left to my goal.
I was going to planet fitness for a while. When I stopped and had my gym membership canceled they refused to cancel it and kept trying to charge me. My bank said they have had nothing but problems with people trying to cancel with Planet Fitness.
How is it ok, that skinny people and fat people don’t want to be judged while working out, so you judge fit people?
I only had great experiences at PF and never heard the alarm. Lots of retirees and casual people getting in a workout but there were definitely hulks. I got to learn to weight lift and got to the point that i could've switched up a gym. I think there might be some bad joints but that would be a management thing overall.
Yeah I’m the same as you, 3 years at PF with zero relation to this video
I lifted at various planet fitness locations for a year and a half and never once heard a lunk alarm go off
For those who don’t know, they have sanitation areas to clean the workout station. Almost everyone cleans it before using it and after using them.
I appreciate that your experience was different, and the location that your friend went to seemed decent. But I used to work out 5 days a week. I've been to multiple locations. I've also been to Gold's Gym, I've been to other high end facilities. I only went to PF because it was most convenient to where I lived and worked. There are more toxic locations than good ones. Again, I am very purposefully courteous when I work out. I try to be as quiet as possible. I absolutely never take my shirt off and pose. Most of the complaints are true. Again, I was part of the crowd that wasn't their target. My warm up bench was 225. I could easily leg press 900. I played football from ages 15-35. My profile pic is me. Most heavy lifters are nice. We probably spend as much time talking to people who ask for help as we do working out. PF creates a highly toxic environment
Damn dude you look beefy as fuck. I quit football since I didn't like the sport much but you seem to be doing amazing. I hope you are going to a better gym, dont let them hold you down king.
@@syko2164 appreciate your words, man. The gym really is my happy space. And never before have I felt so unwelcomed and embarrassed. I'll never step foot in one of their locations again
I train almost everyday. I have an anxiety disorder and it helps me manage it as well as I enjoy working on my physique. Yet never in my entire career of training even when I was at a community gym with no one there needed to take my shirt of working out. That a bad point to make because it is odd to do in a public gym.
To train yes, to practise posing etc is different. I guess it depends on your gym too. Most people in hardcore gyms will pose at the end of the workout. Helps mind muscle connection also.
@@YBNmarinara very true but I try and do that in my own home. Or at least If I do it I make sure the gym has a designated area for posing.
@@JETSson420 no doubt, I’m just talking from experience but I have gone more to serious gym with an actual space to pose with proper lights installed etc. There’s clearly different things you’d do at the gym depending on which one you go too.
Pizza in a gym can't be sanitary.
Why?
@@dragons_red people sweating, some gassed, just reaching into a pizza box... you must not understand food safety.
As someone working for pf. I can say never used the lunk alarm only time I’ve turned it on is new employees that wanna hear it but granted i work in the middle of the night too.
One of the gyms I went to had a policy that only the GM was allowed to cancel your membership, so not only did you have to go in, but there were only 15 hours per week you could cancel, on an alternating schedule. It took me six months, and probably seventy hours to cancel.
@@scallie6462 They actually were reporting it to Equifax and TransUnion, so I had to go in and make a stink. Funniest part, is that I kept going in during scheduled hours, and the "Manager actually got called in to a different locations 40 miles away.".
I even called to confirm the manager was there, and then ten minutes later when I was inside he was "At a different gym right now."
Asmon saying he could bicep curl 40 pound weights 10 reps is the cutest display of cognitive dissonance I've ever seen. Those noodle arms would be lucky to lift 1 rep of a 5 pound weight
Yeahh I'm by no means the strongest but been gyming for 5 years and I barely curl 40lbs total for 10 on an ez bar not sure I buy it
@@maxgaj3015 i mean if anything that proves the opposite, longer arms means bigger ROM so harder to lift, is why short guys can bench the most
I got 16.5 inch arms at 5'8 which is rather big (something like 92nd-95th percentile, Greg Doucette and Geoffrey Schofield provide sources for this) and its pretty hard to do 10 reps of 40 lb curls after years of working out. Form is just fine, but at that weight vs like 20s is the time under tension. Your muscles dont have any moment of relaxing at those weights and up doing curls as even up top you gotta focus on balance.
@@maxgaj3015 longer arms is a disadvantage when it comes to lifting, not an advantage. Source: physics in leverage
@@maxgaj3015 With the same physique yes, larger muscles means larger force output true but the larger ROM means larger force required to lift the same weight, possibly some mitigation for the weight difference if using free weights because the heavier you are the more you can lift but an isolated curl on a machine yes absolutely they could
I went to planet fitness for 1 day and canceled. They don't let you have a gallon jug, they don't have dumbells over 70lbs, and they discourage maximum effort.
Remember when we started not allowing kids to fail, and we started handing out snowflake participation trophies? Those kids are now adults and in decision making positions in society. This is a perfect example of this phenomenon.
Planet Fitness and large chain gyms in general don't want you to work out. They just want you to sign up for a membership you never use. It lowers their overhead and they get your money regardless of if you actually use your membership. Their whole business model is focused on drawing in very out of shape people who statistically won't keep coming (already got the memebership).
There's a 0% chance asmon curls 40's for 10 reps lmao.
I love the guy but maybe 40 with 2 hands on a barbell
About the slamming weights thing, Asmon. Most people are pushing their limits and they have to put it down immediately after an intense workout, like that one last painful rep before you let your hands give up and slam the weight down. Saying this as a gym goer
I've heard the Lunk Alarm go off at my PF quite sparingly, and even then it's more of a "someone accidentally dropped a weight" thing.
Always go to the more expensive gyms with the biggest guys. I have never met any people as supportive and helpful as those guys. They treat you like family, they help you get started and will cheer you on when you hit a goal.
My wife and I moved away and had a hell of a time canceling the membership. The last thing that you think of when major life changes happen is Planet Fitness
I went to a 24Hr fitness for 10 years. I never saw a guy with his shirt off, someone slamming weights, or someone yelling. Like my coach in HS used to say if you can’t control the weight it’s too heavy for you.
The lunk alarm would go off at least once every week that I would go, back in my hometown. The free weight section had weight sensors in it, so if the weights hit the floor too fast it would go off
4:50 it depends on the muscle group being worked, the strategy to work it (such as burnout hypertrophy), and the weightlifting goal. You can actually build a lot of muscle using low weights over time, but that doesn’t make you that much more proficient necessarily at handling large weights. Perhaps there’s some correlation and having more muscle mass means you can naturally handle a little bit heavier weights, but generally you’re gonna better at what you train at.
You wouldn’t do 1000 bicep curls with 25 pounds one month to try and maximize your dead lift
@@Xeirus911 Yes you can get ripped even with smaller weights, however for building muscles heavier weights with fewer reps are objectively better. People's goals will also differ, if your goal is to get toned then you don't need the same stuff as someone who wants to big "show" muscles or someone who just want to be strong. Also people's bodies are different, a short woman will physiologically not have the same need for heavier weight as a tall man does. I'm 194cm and 20kg's (50lbs) was what I was using after about a month of lifting, and I was by no means ripped at that point, but I have a physiological advantage or disadvantage depending on what your goal is.
You can also do a lot more stuff with dumbbells than just curls. Some exercises need more weights, some less depending on what muscle group you're working out.
And the end of the day, use the stuff you have access to. All exercise is good. But if I'm paying for a gym then I want a decent selection of equipment.
@@Xeirus911 Yes they do, according to this video you don't have proper benches for pressing, squat racks or dead lifting stations. And tonnes of people will outgrow the dumbbells after only a few months, particularly if you have to use them to compensate for the missing equipment.
@@Xeirus911 You can definitely out grow that in a year depending on the exercise. I did.
@@volundrfrey896 No, heavier weights are not inherently better for building muscle. Studies have shown time and again that it doesn’t matter what rep ranges you train with for hypertrophy.
@@WALTAH2000 You're wrong.
PF is the worst experience I've ever had with a gym lmao
Free pizza at the gym is like free beer at the aa meeting 😂
planet fitness was a godsend for me like 10 years ago when I had never worked out in my life. It helped me get past my anxiety of going to the gym and I was easily able to cancel my membership with no hassle when I left. I never once saw the lunk alarm go off and I just never went on pizza days anyway. I think it can vary a lot from one location to the next and it sounds like some of them do really suck.
I was in the military for 11 years, one place I was stationed at there’s a planet fitness just 2 blocks away from me. I went there, instead of using the gym in our base, as after work, and during my day off, I didn’t want to see more military people or others from work. But the months I went to planet fitness (as we tend to get deployed or go on detachments), I’ve never heard of this alarm. Cancelling my membership was easy too, I just explained to them that I am being stationed elsewhere. I never had any issues with planet fitness.
You seem to got the long end of the stick. I hope this organisation reform or break down.
I’ve been lifting for almost 2 years 5-6 days a week, and I’m doing 35lb curls for sets of 10. I have 16 inch arms. Ain’t no way asmon is curling 40lb dumbells for 10 lmaoooo
Strength is different for all people I don't look like I got 19 inch arms. But I do, and don't go out of my way to lift weights. But I try to do as much cardio as possible when I can since I am trying to get smaller. I max out all the weight at planet fitness, sometimes you get genetically gifted in size and strength.
Wait what.
35 lbs is like 16 kilos.
You can achieve that from 0 for like 2 weeks or something. Yeah, doing more than that gets harder and harder, but wth? I have 16kg dumbbell at home and after not working out (basically laying sown on the bed) for like year or two i can still do 10 reps. Yeah, its hard to start from 16kg, but it's possible. I don't understand how you are lifting only 16kg after working out for 2 years. Wtf, are you even working out?
I mean to each their own I guess but I can’t imagine lifting weights six days a week. To me it’s like what a waste of time. Why not get a full time job where you do a manual labor,instead of spending 20-30 hours a week picking up heavy stuff and putting it back down. I mean at least you’d be getting paid.
I’m sure it’s a better habit than lots of other stuff but(and I could be 100 percent wrong) but I’ve never seen a truly old body builder or like a 100 year old weight lifter lol . Working your body that hard every day for no reason other than I wanna look good, is like driving the only car your ever gonna get in life 90 mph all the time. It can’t be good for long term health. Maybe regular normal exercise is great but weight lifting can’t be actually physically healthy. At least not being as big as some of the body builders.
No hate man honestly I just don’t get it and maybe it’s because I already work like 60 hours a week and can’t imagine wearing myself out even more physically. Wouldn’t mind 16 inch arms tho 😂
@@xalkerwar6628 35lb curls aren’t with fresh arms. It’s after heavy bent over rows and pull ups. It’s mid workout. I’m also doing 8 sets of 10 lol. I’m not talking about grabbing 35lbs fresh arms and ripping 10. I can probably curl 50s if I wanted. I don’t max out bicep curls, only a retard would do that. That’s how you end up in a viral video for a bicep tendon tear 😂
I been lifting for 11 years am 205lbs lean and 40lbs curls is still moderately heavy. No fkn way he curls 40s lol.
Idk how they haven’t been sued for being “judgement free” when all they do is judge
There is a Planet Fitness I have gone to up the road from my house. (Closest and cheapest gym available to me.) In the 3 years I have been going there, I've never heard them trigger the "Lunk Alarm". Although, I have heard people tell me the one on the other side of town has used it on people.
I think it really comes down to the manager.
I have anhidrosis as a part of my Gulf War syndrome and drink a ton of water as a result. I carry a gallon of purified water with me everywhere I go. You would be amazed at how many places I'm told I can't enter because of my gallon of water. I either have to check it at the front like it's a weapon, or am simply refused entry and have to stow it in my vehicle despite my medical condition.
Asmongold giving his opinion about a gym should be taken as seriously as Rich Campbell talking about World of Warcraft
@@lllKXlll it was obviously a joke though
I asked the staff if there's like a button or something to set the lunk alarm off. They said "I dont think there is a button".. So our gym dont seem to even have a working alarm
Nono when youre reachin max, yelling actually really helps push more
I worked at PF when I was studying for my PT cert. PF preys on unfit, unmotivated people. Those who want to get fit, only to sign up and never return. At the PF facility I worked at, they had 42 accounts that were charged over a year "some 3 years" and the people came once or twice. You can not cancel your subscription over phone. You need to come in with an absurd amount of proof who you are. If you owe anything, you can not cancel your subscription, they'll continue charging you.
PF is what Twitter was. "You can't do that. If you do, others may see and adapt. Get out! Banned!"
Edit: After watching further, I see the video addresses this
The only reason I like Planet Fitness is not because of the no judgment, but because of the price. There is no other gym I found that is $15 a month (price includes the yearly and sign-up fee). The next cheapest I had was $30 a month, but that gym closed. Believe me, if other gyms were $15 or even close, people wouldn't flock to Planet Fitness. I had someone I worked with who paid $120 a month for him and his wife ($60 each) and he told me that was the next cheapest near him that wasn't Planet Fitness. Why would I want to pay 3-4 times as much as Planet Fitness for the same machines when I'm not a hardcore gym-goer. Now, if I were in the gym hours each day, it would be worth it to upgrade, sure, but not for a casual 4-5 hours a week.
Understandable approach
When I was just out of high school in 1989 and starting my career as a cop I used to work out at Gold's Gym. I was skinny and tall and there were some monsters in there. People who really knew how to put on the weight and the gym had that sound and feel of a place where people are super serious about what they are doing. No one. Not one huge guy or girl ever gave me a hard time. Everyone helped. No one laughed. I got up to 225 (I'm 6'5") and absolutely fell in love with lifting. Fast forward to a few years ago. I'm medically retired after a career of car chases, gun fights, and mayhem. I wondered into a Planet Fitness and tried to work out there a handful of times. I can't lift heavy anymore after 3 back and neck surgeries. It was the oddest, most un fun time ive ever had. What a collection of odd people that end up at Planet Fitness. And why is there candy and crap on the counter for people to eat lol. And whey is there an old dude dressed like a bartender from the old west riding an exercise bike? Why is there an alarm that goes off if anyone makes a grunting noise.......at a gym. The whole vibe was BIZARRE. I've never gone back. Don't even get me started about the 400 pound dude in the locker room walking around with his junk hanging out. Or the homeless folks I got to know near the showers. Plant FAILNESS.
The lady with pizza complaining about pizza was great lol
The pizza thing is not over exaggerating, as I used to be fat cravings always existed and the more you eat or see the harder it is to keep fit plus even if you have 1 free day you always have to fight the urge to eat more
