Planet fitness - Lunk alert!

**Benches505** · 03-12-2007, 06:41 PM

Due to my new line of work being mostly nights now I needed a gym to hit after hours. The only 24 hour gym not too far out of my way was a planet fitness so I joined up the other day.

The puny little man behind the desk thought he better warn me in advance about something called their lunk alert since I was a "big guy". I never laguhed so hard in my life! a little alarm goes off if you drop weights or grunt. I saw the same little fella training someone last night and he was working with like 175 on the bench for 3-4 reps. I politely stated that maybe with a little grunting he could lift as much as my girlfriend before June.

i workout at a planet fitness but they are pretty good about it. i rarely ever see them set it off. usually its me asking them to do it to see everyone jump..lol

**RuhlFreak55** · 03-12-2007, 08:14 PM

I normally would never either but it's only 10 bucks per month and open 24 hrs.

**Benches505** · 03-12-2007, 08:22 PM

When the club closes down myself and another bouncer go there at about 4am. Even a few girls from the club signed up, I'm going to have all of the dancers there on GH and var before springs over with

**slob** · 03-12-2007, 11:18 PM

what a stupid thing to have. It's a gym not a social club. Grow a brain lol

**chest6** · 03-12-2007, 11:21 PM

I've seen that before..I wouldnt go anywhere near it except to laugh

**scottythebody** · 03-12-2007, 11:37 PM

I think if it's enforced properly it could be a good idea. I don't mind grunting, but when somebody is doing incline presses with 50 pound dumbells and finishes their set easily and just drops them to the ground, there is no need for that. It's just ridiculous how some people drop weights for no reason at my gym.

**y100adics** · 03-12-2007, 11:46 PM

Same gym, in PA ... 10 bucks a month but they don't have any DB's over 60 ... it's ridiculous .... go there cuz of my schedule too .... but I'm so limited.

OMG what a f-in joke.

Dude slam the biggest F-in dumbells you can find. lol lol

**Benches505** · 03-13-2007, 06:05 AM

y100 hit it on the head! Not a dumbell over 60lbs in the joint. They barely have over a thousand pounds total in free weights...thank goid I go in at 4am, there might be a couple of people on the treadmills at that time so I'm good.

**DARKSEID** · 03-13-2007, 06:43 AM

This lady apparently takes it pretty seriously.

yeah, exactly .... the people that work at mine are pretty chill though ... like I said they only setback is the lack of weight.

**K.Biz** · 03-13-2007, 12:56 PM

i workout at a planet fitness. because its 10bucks a month mostly. i just go after 8 and its empty. and the whole lurk alarm is bs i see people droipping weights and grunting all over the place and that thingt never goes off. but my gym is also owned by an ex-wrestler (brutis the barber)

**RuhlFreak55** · 03-13-2007, 01:03 PM

why would there be any reason to drop 65 lb dumbbells?????

**K.Biz** · 03-13-2007, 01:05 PM

my planet fitness also stops at 100's. it sucks

**y100adics** · 03-13-2007, 01:06 PM

Because there are alot of High School kids there and they aren't very strong. Unfortunately, not everyone there can use 150's to bench with Arnold

**RuhlFreak55** · 03-13-2007, 01:09 PM

well i essentially never "drop" dumbells.........i may set them down a little hard on occasion but never outright drop.....regardless of the weight

**Benches505** · 03-13-2007, 01:09 PM

You all stop hammering my shitty gym!!

Like I said from the get go.... At 4am it's that shitty gym or push up's, which would you pick?

there's not one other 24 hour gym around? and you could train at a different time of course

**IIIIIIIIIIII** · 03-13-2007, 01:29 PM

i worked out at a planet fitness for a month or so since my friend had this membership where he could bring one friend free each visit. I went in there at about 220lbs at 5'10.. i tossed 3 plates on each side of the bench and some stupid puny yoga instructor type fool asked me if i needed help taking the weight off... after i told him i was putting it ON he snickered and left..i found him gossiping with some one else about me later on... such a bullshit gym... its purple and yellow... i thought the motto was "where you fit in"

now i know I dont fit in hahha. i was the only guy there who worked out in a beater and had gloves and a weight belt.. the rest just go there so they can suck cock in the steam room!

**IIIIIIIIIIII** · 03-13-2007, 01:30 PM

Same with me. they let me do anything i want at our gym and i go to a planet fitness as well. i guess its all about the owner.

**MotoLifter** · 03-13-2007, 02:30 PM

no grunting. I guess I was grunting during some heavy deads (honestly i dont even notice)

**MotoLifter** · 03-13-2007, 02:46 PM
