If I remember I’ll do it that sounds cool!!!
Im down
Whats the fastest time i need to reach?
Hey! Bro I m your long time viewer big fan bro al support to you ❤️
tht 17 yr old was a beast!!
That manager is the living meme of Planet Fitness actually being against people getting fit lifting weights
lol, fr 🤣
Hurry inside for the free pizza! Stop lifting weights and being motivated outside!
You’d think the regional fitness manager of planet fitness would be excited or at least interested in an event that gets their members excited about working out…. Job probs won’t last long
Like legit the girls that never benched might even start doing it now that you made it seem so much more approachable
Actually tho
That was a close call, PF almost had some positive fitness publicity. Glad the assistant to the regional manager was there to put a halt to it.
lmaooooo, so trueeee
😂
Yeah, that first employee was so chill!
Also free ? Like wth
dejuren Actually that’s the business model of every gym
Manager has a real power trip. If he was smart he'd realise you are giving them free publicity and drawing people to them. Well handled Nick, you always give off positive vibes
You obviously know nothing about running a gym. This is 100% liability on the gym and the manager having a non employee set up his own shit on the property outside.
I sincerely hope some TH-cam jackass shows up where you work, putting your job in jeopardy.
He just dug a hole for his branch instead of taking the free hand up.
I'm gonna play devil's advocate for a moment: what would happen if a contestant got injured in the challenge? Could that potentially be an issue for the manager?
No matter what, he handled it poorly, but could is potentially be the correct decision to ask them to leave?
@mfbjo I mean, I GUESS? But I don't think the people there are in any more danger than anyone else doing a bench press inside the gym. Also, if that were the case, why would he need to confront them a second time AFTER they already left the property? He was on a power trip for real.
@@Blackoutdmc you never heard of someone slipping on a floor in Walmart then turning around and suing Walmart?? Same concept. Liability is a huge overhead cost in the fitness business, and the manager could have easily lost his job for allowing that to go on. Let me ask, where do you work? You just let TH-camrs show up on your property and start filming for clout? I know a lot of Planet Fitnesses in the Bay Area where this TH-camr would have caught an ass beating from the manager, he's lucky it was just this guy and not Javoris or somebody
That kid is a monster for 17 years young 💪
And his physique really down’t show it
…proud girlfriend moment🥱❤️
@@DanicaPeterson-xp3eu so not only is he flexing his bench on the rest of us, his gf is also tellin people shes his gf. hard blow for people who cant bench 275 and are single lmao
@@cactusttp_5520 he probably benches a lot it’s more of a skill
Yea other than his constant childish smiling he looks like he's at least 20.
I must say, that manager found a job that absolutely fits his personality. Well done.
If someone got hurt and planet fitness sued. Guess who's getting fired for ignoring the negligence outside.
@@BronzedBeastget outta here karen they all had a good spotter nobody was getting injured😂
@@Paysonnpeople doing their jobs are not Karen's. I'd say the people bitching that they can't do stupid shit for views on the interwebs and their followers are more Karen like if anything...
@@ThatGuy-sc5rx bro wth are you on about lol? They weren't even doing anything wrong. They were not breaking any guidelines. No rules state to not bring a bench. Also, the stealing customers thing just isn't a rule lol. Also, he wasn't. He was just challenging them. They were most likely going to go back into the gym lol. You guys are Karens if you actually think he was doing his job lol. He was doing the opposite. The manager has other things to worry about besides people who aren't even break the rules lol. He's awful at his job. Someone could've been in there doing some bad stuff and he would've just been sitting out here like a fatass Karen. Trust me, he was a Karen don't try to make him look like the good guy lol. He even called the cops. He kicked em out for no reason. He even SAT OUTSIDE JUST TO YELL AT THEM! So please shut the hell up lol. Don't try to be the guy who makes us look differently. He was a Karen and a really rude person. Nick tried being nice too but then the manager was like fuck off and shit. So please, think before you speak. This manager wasn't a good dude. He has no right to do this crap.
@@BronzedBeast nobody because none of planet fitnesses equipment caused the injury lol. You know nothing of this sort. They would need to be inside the property too. So yk, think and fact check before you speak lol. The person that would get sued is Nick. It was his challenge and equipment therefore, planet fitness wouldn't be touched. So shut up please.
If the assistant to the regional manager had just tried to have a normal conversation with you he'd have realized how chill you were. Keep up the positivity!
Yeah usually people are really nice to me when I make these videos. Honestly he is the rudest person I have encountered in five years of filming.
Dwight Schrute is the assiitant to the regional manager
@@kaidavies9396 fuvk you want us to do? get him fired because he probably had a bad day?
@@kaidavies9396 That's the joke he made
This comment needs more likes!! He is more like the Assistant to the Assistant to the Regional Manager. "You'll always have the upper hand, when you have a strong AARM."
i love how you dealt with that angry manager, kept it calm and made him look so stupid. Keep up this positive energy!
His “customers” were out there making money that could pay there gym memberships and he had a problem with that. Lol I bet he’s a pleasure to be around
Fr enough to cover months ! Tripping
The way nick just casually asks the manager can you bench 3 plates while getting kicked out sent me 😂
Nick thing him is so big and bad but that manager is could has choke he out.
@@jawant6039 English?
@@jawant6039 lmao whattt???
Yeah that made me laugh ngl!
@@jawant6039 I had a stroke reading that
The way he threw his nametag on the ground like a toddler was hilarious 🤣
So was he throwing his weight around or his name?
Those people are really like that too
Should have told the cop no you’re not moving lol.
How much can ya Bench Donut? :D
love it lol more content too!
I get the feeling he left because he was almost done anyway. Curious to see if this gets covered on your channel, though nothing here makes for much content other than the toddler manager.
So whens the collab? Couple of my favorite youtubers man come on
Sometimes stepping down is the best option…the manager might have though he WON but he just made himself look bad 😂
Much respect to you bringing people together through physical activity ignore that bad energy
A savvy regional manager would have jumped on the opportunity to get even more people involved to increase awareness of the gym!
this is planet fitness we're talking about here
Not only that, but the clown missed out on an opportunity to have an Olympic athlete help promote one of his facilities. Guy really was s douche.
too bad this guy lives in his mom's basement and is still a 40 year old virgin playing wow and power trips to hell since every other aspect of his life is garbage.
@@aohjii for all the memes about Planet Fitness clientele it did seem like quite a few decently experienced lifters.
he took the wrong approach in calling the cops but he is doing his job
Nick standing up for himself just so we can have a yt video to watch. What and awesome guy
The show must go on!!

@@nicksymmonds 🎶🎶
@@brickwallftw It's actually Planet "Fatness" where you're trying to be "fit", while you're actually getting more fatness in your body (to about the Fluffy level XD)
God bless
Hi Nick Symmondas I am a huge fan of yours and you inspired me to start running last year and I have loved it ever since. Thank you so much.
One of the best videos I've seen Nick. I love the emotion from this video I keep catching myself watch this whole video 😂. Please do more of these Nick you are definitely appreciated for all the awesome content. Its also awesome that you stand up for yourself; i respect what you go through out there in the streets.
Planet fitness just gave themselves a massive kick in their own balls. Great job regional manager!
300 people at that location try to cancel their memberships after watching this video ... but can't, 'cause ... reasons. 🤣
@Michael Gmirkin I remember I had a trial at anytime fitness and they were making excuses to keep me as a member but the I showed them the contract says you could cancel within the time frame I got it
Yes, it's idiotic.
He could have gone out and say "You like making fun of us on TH-cam, but heeeee, see all those people you filmed before? We're pretty good. Now stop meming us and come in to buy a membership and improve"
But no, he had to feed the meme.
You simply get a different card. Ain’t nothing they can do lol
I mean, the manager fits their branding perfectly. Will probably get a raise.
Kinda crazy how the regional manager was going to escalate that to what seemed to be a physical confrontation. Nick handled that with pure class
actually the rightful but unfortunately illegal way would have been to punch him in his face one time and I guarantee there would have been no physical confrontation after that
keeping with the spirit of the channel, i would like to offer $100 to the winner of a 8 round exhibition boxing match between Nick and the manager:)
regional managers don't wear the standard polo with a name badge at least not anywhere I've ever been.
I almost spat my drink when I saw his pudgy ass square up acting like he was about to throw hands 💀
Would have been a mistake. Nick probably would have just eaten the hit and defended himself but could absolutely whip that GMs ass.
Hey, Nick! This just popped up on my feed today. You now have a new subscriber and you've inspired me to start lifting again after about 2 years off.
I subscribed specifically because of how well you handled that situation. Class.
That guy was afraid you were making planet fitness look good, he said “not my company!!” 😂
LOOOLLLL
Love seeing Nick standing his ground against abusive people. Great video! 👏🏼
When I was asked to move off the Planet Fitness property I did so immediately. Then he chased me down and kept harassing me even when I was no longer on Planet Fitness property. Just because someone tells you to move, doesn't mean you have to. Cop was totally cool, I packed up as soon as she showed up.
@@nicksymmondsbruh
I would’ve joined the lifting if I was the manager or police
@@nicksymmonds yeah, that guy was straight up a weirdo. He thinks that he’s so cool because he’s a regional manager he could’ve went about that way differently.
@@nicksymmonds Well done for not creating further with the cop. She will appreciate that and you got the footage you needed for another great video. The Regional Manager did his chain no favours. He could have embraced the situation and partnered up to promote the brand. You were no threat to his business model and he could have leveraged it into something positive.
Big RESPECT to the 17 year old. Strong young man 💪🏾🇺🇲
I can't believe I feel like I had so much fun watching this video. Great job everyone who did this challenge. Awesome
I love the way you handled that, that "regional manager" didn't even phase you one bit or make you angry. Pays to be fit!
Props to the 17 yr old redhead representing for the rest of us gingers!!!
Props to Nick for keeping his composure against the guy that didn’t like fitness near his gym. Your way with people keeps inspiring me to try and keep positivity no matter the situation.
Hey u cant say that word
Oh my bad I’m dyslexic
@@hourakenmg9627 thats some advanced humour right there
Did not look 17 at all
@@gj9157 right? What a beast!!
handled that confrontation really well. good on ya man
"We pay for all of this tough guy, you need to fuck off!" Very professional behavior from the regional manager! I hope it reflects in his pay.
Did we expect anything else from a regional manager for Planet Fitness? Hopefully his boss sees this and realizes he has the wrong guy in the wrong position, don't think he could have handled that situation any worse. Props for keeping your cool Nick, not that I ever planned to step foot inside a Planet Fitness but now I won't with 100% certainty.
",tough guy" loooooool wada choad!!!@
Lol ummm why in the world would a business allow this??
Use your brain.
Jeb Wilhelms from Eugene Oregon W11 Ave planet fitness was powertripping hard
@@senorgeese lol i just knew the google reviews would be getting bombed after this
I mean did nick even ask to do it there?like u kinda can see where dis is going
Nick had me rolling when he looked at the manager and said "but the question is, how much can you bench?" Nothing makes me happy like gym Karens getting clowned. Great work as always Nick!
How great would it have been if the manager walked back out there only to see the cop taking the challenge! 🤣🤣
Manager was only mad because he wasn’t seeing anyone slap 4 plates on that bad boy and felt disappointed
@@andrewbyrnes6389 Exactly!🤣 He’s disappointed with his customers ☹️
I loved the end. Police woman says. I have seen your videos. They're cool. It pays to make good fun content for the whole family. Great job Nick!
Well done nick. It’s super important that young men understand the difference- you didn’t fold over and you were clearly avoiding any physical confrontation while still standing up for yourself. Aggression does not need to be physical. Nick aggressively stood his ground while being very respectful and mature. Very impressive.
Uh dude. He's hosting a bench challenge on private property with no permission. If someone gets hurt while on this property guess who's getting sued? PF is. He should of been smarter and doin it on public property I.E off the parkinglot because that's apart of PF property
Sean has a point, this is different than the other guy that does this as that guy has the set up attached to the back of his car so the challenges are in the parking lot, not on the property of whatever gym he's waiting outside of.
That said, the manager handled this extremely poorly as he was way aggressive off the rip.
Right or wrong is not what I’m arguing (because realistically we don’t know how contracts and leases are distributed there. Who owns what and who’s leasing it from who). I’m just addressing his handling of the situation. Violence has no threshold. Once we decide to be violent is once we’ve assumed all responsibility for anything around us. We need to learn as a population how to confront each other like mature adults. Violence and aggression can by synonymous, but are different in more ways than one.
thats whats wrong with society these days, that dbags like this dont get what they deserve on an instant, and that is a punch to their face. and no, getting physical is NOT a "total no go" its the only language such people understand and bc of the lack of it they feel way to comfortable in their disgusting behaviour
@@BronzedBeast he moved away from the property and no that parking lot in front of another store is NOT a part of pf property
That guy was such a douchebag, if you really have a problem with someone it’s not that hard to approach them with respect and kindness. Must have a sad and miserable home life though. Probably hates his wife and his job so he has to take out his bitterness on other people. Keep doing your thing Nick 💪🏼
If he had approached me with kindness and been polite the whole thing would have been different. He came at me with a whole lot of anger and hate!
I bet he's a discord mod too lol
He spend all day at the gym and he’s not fit 😂. Like most planet fitness employees
he fits the planet fitness scheme😂😂
@@nicksymmonds Shouldn't have blurred his face. I know I wouldn't have
He said "leave my members alone like he was saving them from being harassed or something."
What a clown.
“It pays to be fit” as you hand hundreds of dollars out to these people. That is awesome!!!!
That guy was SOOO close to lifting 315! The closest bench press miss I've ever seen
@Brandon Joseph you’re a fkn beast man keep it up
@Brandon Joseph dude I was rooting for ya! Even my gf told me to shut up cause I was being loud lmao
@Brandon Joseph you did! but did you get the money tho? i was waiting for Nick to hand you 225 lmao 😆
@@ImBrandonJoseph That was so close! I'm rooting for you! Keep working 💪💪 but your already stronger than the majority!
I've had about 2 failures like that, in my 20s. Instead of being 1/2 a pound short you're 1/100 of a pound short. It's really frustrating. Nowadays though I am triceps dominant, so once I hit that 2/3 mark it's gonna go.
He called you "tough guy!" Good grief! Not a good look for Planet Fitness, but I like how you handled it with the Cops! 👍
Nick: Olympic Competitor. Plant fitness manager: "tough guy"... Hah!
I have been enjoying these videos as of lately , Thanks Nick greatly appreciated
you do great things for the community, people just wana see the world burn. Keep at it, you've been a motivator since your 2008 800 Olympic trials event.
Some people are just determined to find a reason to be angry. “Stop harassing my customers!” 😂 Nick can ‘harass’ me with money any time
I feel your pain. I literally just had a police kickout moment myself. Keep on pushin!
Fortunately this police officer was really cool. I imagine they have bigger problems to deal with here in Eugene, OR!
dude colab Nick and Reggie fitness with melodic tunes, oh wait with you struming eye of the tiger yeah !!!
@@kings9634 XD
Stop bothering my 10 dollar a month customers, with fitness tests.. CLASSIC.. keep going Nick, good work..
*that moment the cops agrees with your channel*
The words
*I've seen your videos I think they're cool* says it all.🏋️♂️🏋️♂️💪🏆👏🤣
“What’s your best lift?”
“Probably leg press”. That’s the most planet fitness reply possible 😂
I mean... them hoes are cheat codes. All the mechanical assistance. The leg press is literally everyone's best lift. Unless for obvious medical reasons.
Mine is also leg press 😢
@@skiney Forget the press and practice squats. Full leg workout.
@@TheScribeScribe almost full the hamstrings role on that is just stabilization, they almost don't have activation, but squats are the really the best for the quads and glutes
@@skiney if I could offer some advice, stop doing it, it’s not worth it
Great content as usual and LOL at Bro, took his badge off like he's going to do something LOL
my favorite moment was when he threw his badge down on the sidewalk! He came in looking for a fight.
@nicksymmonds what a legend 😅
The biggest difference between this and the short (where tons of folks are saying the manager was in the right), is that the longer video shows that you did move of the property; completely changes the dynamic. Also, shows that the dude's complaints of harassing customers wasn't even backed up by the people he was talking about (as they came in and enjoyed the challenge). Well done
Nick, I love these videos and find myself cheering on each competitor! Sounds like PLANET FITNESS sounded the LUNK ALARM on you! LOL Keep posting bro!
That Manager was a royal Duche 🎒! Great video as always Nick!
W to the camera man listing 205 and ngl that cop was super chill
Just Started watching your videos Nick! Love your content!!
Nick showing the olympic spirit in standing up for himself 🤣
The guy saying “leave my customers alone” when the customers arent even near the entrance! He only assumed they were planet fitness customers because of their clothing.
That was nice of you to blur his face when you didn't have to. High integrity of you. THAT deserves the applause 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I don't know how you did it... but you set off the lunk alarm OUTSIDE Planet Fitness!! That's impressive!
I could MAYBE understand if he was worried someone might get injured and try to sue planet fitness because you were on planet fitness property. However, once you moved off their property and hearing him say, "stop stealing my customers"...it was obvious he is a miserable human being and jealous. Bravo to how you handled it, though. If I had even half an ounce of integrity like you, I would be so much happier and more successful in life. I'm working on it! Lol. Anyway, great video as always 🙂
I've read that's why PF doesn't have barbells, only machines, it reduces the insurance.
And the dude had no idea (nor did he try to find out) that Nick wasn't there to steal customers away to a different gym.
@@GimbleOnDew My Planet Fitness has both dumbbells (up to 75 pounds) and barbells....
Here in North Carolina it is written into the agreement you sign that if you get hurt PF is not responsible.......
Your doing a great thing for people, you motivate the ones who gave up on being fit and now you got me thinking..should I sign up to my local gym I’m 49 and turn 50 in 6 months, haven’t worked out 3 and 1/2 years is it possible to get fit in 6 months? . From Arizona ✌🏻
Respect that the cop watches Nick's videos. ❤
That guy was on a power trip. Love your videos bro.
This so-called regional manager is someone who has very little decent communication skills. The female police officer, on the other hand, approached the situation in a professional manner. Nick, you handled everything perfectly, and l love being a subscriber. Great videos.
Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Hey nick I’m 14 and I think that you should do one of these challenges in Austin, I would definitely get me and all of my friends to come!
I would never work out at a planet fitness. This guy single handedly is the reason many won’t.
Dude really confirming the planet fitness stereotype 😂
Nick actually taught those two ladies how to bench. Something their gym should have been helping them with. They looked more like the cardio type but nothing wrong with slinging a little iron.
I'd be surprised if that Regional Manager is not reprimanded for his toxic behavior on camera while he represents that brand. Absolutely embarrassing for him in a moment of opportunity to show how Planet Fitness supports well being challenges.
If I was his boss that would be his last day.
@@deltalima6703 you're an idiot. Yes he was aggressive but he quite literally saved the company millions. If someone got hurt. PF is held LAIBLE meaning they can and WILL be sued. The only thing he deserves is a refresher on how to engage with basically someone loitering and his customer service. Other than that he did what he needed too.
The Planet Fitness business model IS toxicity. "No judgement" then has a literal alarm & flashing lights for people that actually put in effort. They feed people tootsie rolls & pizza.
@@TLM-Nathan Based on his linkedin he only ended up working there 3 more months after this video came out.
I just stumbled upon this channel. Great content, very entertaining and positive. Interesting to note that Planet Fitness' public relations have become even worse in the 10 months since this video. I'm really surprised they haven't gone bankrupt yet.
That 275 pr was mad impressive grind, hella respect
I used to be assistant manager at Planet Fitness. This would have been awesome to be a part of. Keep doing what you are doing. Great video
3:32 Man said “I should’ve brushed my teeth today” 💀 dawg you supposed to do that everyday
bro facts ☠️☠️☠️
This will be my permanent memory of planet fitness now. Love your channel bro. I also noticed your voice drop a few decibels when he got rowdy lol. That guy was about to learn a lesson.
Nick was so cooperative and calm, that regional manager needs to learn how to communicate
Nick was being so nice to the regional manager and he even moved his spot. The cops were probably like aren't there more important things than stopping people from benching.
Great job for standing up to yourself Nick!
great content keep it up .. some pple are just too tense for life
8:40 "question is how much can you bench?" 🤣🤣🤣
Mad respect to the way you stood your ground to that guy 👏👏👏
actually he didnt unfortunately
Nicks a perfect example of how to handle such situations! Nick's fit in both mind and body!

True, i only Miss the gym Girls sometimes
Planet fitness is trash 😤
@@Prokilla486 lmao :D
You handled that cop well. Very respectful. Nice.
That was such a business opportunity for that assistant manager and he blew it
The dumbest part of the manager is that this would actually help bring more people into his gym. Also this was an oddly strong PF customer base. 😂
You really think they want people to go there?
yeah no sane lifter would actually pay for a pf membership
@@TehNiCoLaS In all fairness, the facilities are clean, and the price tag is extremely reasonable. It just sucks that your workout equipment is extremely limited, and some fit people get judged there.
@@aplive58 I forgot how bad it was lol. I used to be a member cause of how cheap it was and convenience since it was right outside my job but missed all the free weights. So I switched to another gym. Well a coworker of mine bought me a day pass to work out with her for my bicep day and I was shook. I didn't remember their heaviest ez bar (the crooked ones with the weights in the side for curls) only being 60 pounds and their heaviest dumbells only being 70lbs. I had to do so much volume to weight to get a decent workout instead of my typical weight to volume style.
@@BronzedBeast They also don't have Olympic bench presses and barbells. I'm satisfied for the overall experience, but just wish there were more.
Thank you Nick Symmons to remind us that they are kind people still on this earth like you, if it was me I'd feel so put down and I'd just leave but you stood your ground, you're the best have a blessed day, God bless you
What got me most was that even the cop watches your videos and thinks they're cool
If you got cops watching your videos it's going to be very hard for people to get you in trouble with the law man keep up the great content
Wow some really impressive lifts
Much respect Nick! You're a stand up guy. That manager must be unhappy or having a bad day and decided to take it out on you. You were respectful and also held your ground. Awesome job brother.
I really love the spirit you have. You motivate the people everytime, even when they make you loose money.
God bless you Nick for your kindness
You knew when that 17 year old arched his back before the press he had confidence. Ah youth! Goood on you brother.
The "Regional Manager" was just mad that he can't bench 135. Nick made him question his career choice in the fitness industry. Love the content Nick, keep it coming!
How cool would it have been if the cop just got down and did the challenge? 🤣 "Sorry Mr regional manager, I'm a subscriber"
Haha that was awesome that the cop's seen your videos!
I have to admit, that was a very interesting video to watch -I watched the entire thing.
Aaaah! That one guys was so close at 315! 9:07 Was rooting for him - great effort 👍
Calm, cool and composed Nick! You were so calm to carry on with your next challengers even after those interruptions and diatribes! Tough to do that!
I know this guy. He tells everyone he is regional manager, but he is actually assistant TO the regional manager.
10 star comment!
Thank you for showing us the manager hissy fit.
It baffles me how some people can’t see the free publicity. He could have joined himself to promote his place!
Way to go Nick!! I love seeing the pushback you give to help people get fit. My favorite!! Love you brother!!
