whos the giant dude in the commercial with the accent and only says---i lift things up and put them down
-
Planet Fitness hates bodybuilders
who is the mod that changes the title of my threads and now is adding his own words to my posts? I did not and would never write planet fitness hates bodybuilders, I could care less if they do or dont.
Cut the bullshit mods, quit adding and changing titles and threads, its total bullshit
-
If its such a judgement free zone then why are they labeling people as 'lunkheads'?
you've gotta be insecure on an insane level to not see through that bullshit
-
"judgement free zone" is utter BS. Insecure Twinkies/Fatties Zone is more appropriate

It's Special Ed after taking advice from GH15
For some reason this advert makes me angry.

Planet Fitness hates bodybuilders
They are insane.
Many pumped up dudes are idiots but so are many tits.
GH15 should show them what testo americano is all about! >:(

Isn't it kinda funny that the only bodybuilder public can name is Arnold, and I presume this guy makes an Arnold impression and that is not quite how he sounds normally. So yeah, Arnold is dumb? I want to be that dumb.
-
you cand drawn stereotypes from every single profession, like a lawyer that keep murderes out of jail or a doctor that butchers people etc etc.

lol, thats actually quite funny

Planet fitness is a joke but to be honest, they're not that far off about bodybuilders. A lot of bodybuilders are douchebags.
-
dont know if anyone else had considered this..but the this whole being down on anabolics and big muscles in the culture isnt really that hard an issue for most of the population to get behind.most people are obese and/or non gym goers.its alien to them.it really is.
planet fitness just seems like a gym marketed for people who arent worried ethier way if they make progress.also the scrawny guy "trainer"is im afraid the way lots of gyms are looking like there becoming.a place where none of the members look like they work out.
just my thoughts.
-
What makes it even worse is that PF considers anyone with less than 35% bodyfat a "bodybuilder"
-

True.
Most serious bodybuilders are complete jackasses and fucking twats. That's just the truth.
Ed Hardy wearing, attention whoring, egomaniacal girls.

bwahahahaha that shit is awesome hahaha
i dont see why people are pissed.....the same people that are mad are the same people that wish they had a hardcore gym with only hardcore members...
build a gym next door to planet fitness and make it for hardcore guys only....and everyone would be all for it..

I remember reading an article by Dr. Squat, Fred Hatfield, that compared bodybuilders to powerlifters using certain personality traits to compare both groups, and one thing that I remembered from that article was that bodybuilders were highly suspicous of others and rather paranoid. It was quite an interesting article. In fact, it was from his book: Bodybuilding: A Scientific Approach

actually they re nailing the meathead personnality right on the head here.
Still i think it's stupid to lift in a gym , when you can lift at home... Going to the gym is attention whoring, and wether you look like shit or good, you re going there to show off your insecurities. Gyms are for idiots who dont have nough money to buy themselves a house and dont have enough space to build their own home gym.
or just people without enough room.
-
Its good marketing. Bodybuilders will use their gym. Anbody else will just use it once in a while, allowing them more contracts.

The gallon jug makes it pretty funny, imo.

Thats really bad... I'm amazed they are actually allowed to get away with that
but i wish there was a gym that were for serious trainers ONLY
where serious trainers can train without having a gym full of teenagers benching for 4 hrs holding up the bench
or doing 20 sets each on the cable crossovers

so it's ok to judge and discriminate bodybuilders, but not fat people?

Someone should do a remake of this vid with fatpanda eating kitkats and sayin " a calorie is a calorie", that would be more realistic.

I can't stop laughing at that. GB can be contradictory; guys like the roider in the work boots and shirt are usually directly in the collective firing line.
In my experience it's blokes like him that are more likely use the machines and hog equipment for hours on end, set after set.

Any truth to the rumor that Mike Arvilla tried out for the part of a meat head for the Planet Fitness commercials? I heard that they told him that his attire was perfect for the part but they didn't think anyone would think he was a bodybuilder because of his legs/chest and unnecessary shaved head :-\

HAHAHAHAHAHA

looks like people go there to look for something / someone to bitch about rather than get a workout in.
-
Holy shit - they actually kick you out of a gym because you're benching 315? They would never do that in the UK (well, at least I hope not!).
What do they do if you've paid up front - do they give you a refund on your membership for the months you're not going to use?

Yeah, that was all well and good, until they got rid of 655 of the equiptment and all dumbbell over 45 lbs etc.
So they were like - "You don't fit in, probably should go somewhere else, BTW - we are gettig rd of everything"
Why would I want to stay there?
I pay more now for NYSC - but like it there a lot.

I took a look around one. They actually modify all the plate loaded machines so you can only fit two 45 lb plates on each side. The leg press was like sawed down to only fit 4 plates a side.

Planet Fitness is looking for one type of customer...The kind that pays, and never shows up..
Someone should file suit against them for discriminating people who have muscles..

I used to go to a Golds' that was changed to a PF and they bounced out all the hardcore lifters from day 1.

I swear lol. I went for a day with my sister's bf, who had a membership. The db's weren't as bad as the one 333 went too, but still pitiful. 65 lbs was as high as they had. The broad at the desk asked me twice if I was sure I wanted to get a guest pass. Either I wasn't the right clientele, or she knew it was an awful place and was trying to warn me. ;D

The Mecca was Gold's Gym circa 1995-2000 Yonkers, N.Y.. also, Ultimate Bodies, Bronx, NY,was great.

It's Special Ed after taking advice from GH15
I'm surprised he isn't on board with Will Brink and creating a class action suit :-\
He represented a corrections officer for getting thrown out of one
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/18/nyregion/18grunt.html?_r=1
In an age where the Internet can make even the smallest feud public, perhaps it was inevitable that Mr. Argibay’s plight would become a cause célèbre for grunters everywhere. His lawyer, Jason Stern, a former competitive bodybuilder, created boycottplanetfitness.com, a Web site that includes a list titled “Top Ten Reasons to Join Planet Witless.” Among the entries: “Library just too noisy of a place for reading books.”
[He also placed a video of a local television news segment about the controversy on YouTube.com.]
Hundreds of e-mail messages have poured into Mr. Stern’s Web site. Most are supportive, he said, but not all. “Occasionally, I do get an e-mail from someone who says this is a good thing,” Mr. Stern said. “They write in and say, ‘You know, this gym is for people like me who are used to getting sand kicked in our face, and we’re tired of it.’ ”

Yeah, I saw an interview with that corrections officer on YT. The fact that they called the police just because he tried to discuss the issue is way over the top. Here in Europe the police won't show up, they have higher priorities than this.

Or...they don't take their training and deiting that seriously---I know of people who seemingly have made no "gains" for a whole yr.
-
but a gym should be trying to help their customer reach their goals
they should motivate them to take their training and diet seriously
having "pizza night" is sabotaging their efforts to lose weight, heck even the most dedicated fitness fanatic might have trouble resisting free pizza, let alone the average fatass
they are criminals and if there is any justice in the world they will go out of business

So what?
That's what most of the general public thinks anyway. Bodybuilders are delusional, and believe that people envy them, when in reality, the vast majority of people are repulsed by them. It's no differant than a hardcore gym catering to hardcore lifters. Hardcore gyms would advertise against twinks and cardio queens if they could, problem is, they don't have the membership base or capital to do national advertising campaigns.
I think the ad is amazing, and clearly it's working.
Earl, a gym should be catering to their clientele, which is what planet fitness is doing. Their customers don't want to be around bodybuilders or aggressive meatheads. They like to exercise, but they also like to live, and theyre not crazy aboiut their diets. I've got bad new for you.... The company is growing by leaps and bounds.
I'd never work out there. I'm a BSC and NYSC kind of guy.

i don't have a problem with them catering to fat fucks, i don't blame them for not wanting to be around studly bodybuilders, then again maybe it would motivate them like it motivated me when i was a skinny runt
my problem is them having a "no judgement zone" when clearly that's clearly what they do, show me a gym that says "no fat fucks allowed" and i'll call it even
and of course "pizza night", a clear attempt to sabotage their customers diet and training, what kind of gym promotes unhealthy diet?

No, because they cator to people who don't take the gym as seriously as people like you and I. Let em do what they want, fuck em... no one is making anyone sign contracts, or tricking perspective customers. They know what they are signing up for.

Yes, but they don't; they ask for a monthly fee, no strings attached. And not everyone that works out at PF is fat. There is one across the street from the BSC I work out at, and it's filled with college students, and those looking for a cheap place to workout, with little to no restrictions. It's inexpensive; the equivalent to that cell phone provider Boost Mobile.
Most people who workout, have a "cheat meal", once a week...and one would think that is the logic behind pizza night at these gyms. Work hard, and then let loose. Moreover, who gives a fuck? It's not like these people are being tricked.
I miss worlds gym. I thought that was a good gym. I dig BSC and NYSC, as well.

I threatend to sued PF back in 2007 and won. I used to go to golds in Yonkers,ny when they did the switch. the guy at the counter told me if I didnt like the change in equipment I could cancell my membership that was transferred over. This was back in 03. He did the paperwork and said I was all set.
Well fast forward to 07 I get a bill in the mail for 2,500 because I never paid my dues. I talked to them but said they would send a collection agency. My lawyer then threatend to sue them for 2,500 and they settled. Luckily I still had the paperwork on file. Slam dunk. Fucking scumbags.

I have yet to meet anyone who goes to a planet fitness and is actually in good shape.

I used to go to Gold's on Yonkers Ave. back in the day. When it was Health & Fitness Depot it was the mecca of lower westchester/bronx area for lifting. Met a lot of cool guys who all lifted like animals over there. I actually met Renzo Gracie there when Alvarez was starting is BJJ classes upstairs.
Great freakin times over there until the two brothers took it over and turned it in to Planet Fitness. Same with the one in White Plains.
I miss those days alot.

Flex Appeal in Mt. Vernon is good, real good. But the parking is horrendous.
I used to also train at Powerhouse in the Bronx. It used to be Ultimate Bodies and was real old school. Leaking pipes across the ceiling, etc.
I tell these young punks (I'm 35 y/o), they have no idea how fun it used to be. It was the early - mid - late 90's into say about 2001 or so.
Great damn times. People were more focused on lifting, then "fitness" and bullshit like that. People werea lot bigger and stronger back then. Even ow at 35, I make these young fools look stupid and they thik its a big deal to rep 315on a bench, or 100lbs dumbbells on the incline, or squat with clangin plates and more than 225 on the hack squat.
bitches more interested in ther cell pones and abs than actually lifting.

I'm curious, is Pilates still popular in da U S of A?

There used to be so many hardcore gyms, I couldnt decide were to go. Maybee it was just the NYC area, but your right, it was more common to see a guy not benching more then 315. Now I'm shocked to see someone do 225.
-
Lets also remember that Planet Fitness is not trying to be a hardcore gym...they are inexpensive and trying to get people in the gym who feel threatened by bodybuilders....whether that is right or wrong they have to create their own marketing strategy and I guarantee you that it is pretty effective

Imagine ronnie coleman being in there one day screaming and yelling and dancing doing all the stuff he does in the gym.

Yes, but they don't; they ask for a monthly fee, no strings attached. And not everyone that works out at PF is fat. There is one across the street from the BSC I work out at, and it's filled with college students, and those looking for a cheap place to workout, with little to no restrictions. It's inexpensive; the equivalent to that cell phone provider Boost Mobile.
Most people who workout, have a "cheat meal", once a week...and one would think that is the logic behind pizza night at these gyms. Work hard, and then let loose. Moreover, who gives a fuck? It's not like these people are being tricked.
I miss worlds gym. I thought that was a good gym. I dig BSC and NYSC, as well.
based on these commercials, planet fitness target customer has more than one cheat meal a week
diet is the number one reason people fail to lose weight while going to the gym for years
i trained at bally's for years, the same people that trained hard consistently looked the same year after year because they couldn't stay with a diet due to their own daily "pizza night"
a gym should NEVER have a pizza night, they are supposed to promote clean foods, heck even supplements would be better than high calorie pizza

Someone should do a mock planet fitness youtube clip of "I pick things up, I don't put them down" with a 600 pound Onlyme type character eating pizza during pizza night.

It is an effective strategy, and I don't mind their desire to get more folks exercising. My issue with PF, which has been echoed here, is that they are just as "judgmental" as anyone else. A bunch of fat people making fun of "bodybuilders" is just as "mean" (no homo) as "bodybuilders" making fun of fat people.

who are these kats?
WTF is this about - gddamn disgrace
-
One of these kats (the black man, making his pecs jump) is 2010 Master Nationals Champion, Jerome "Hollywood" Ferguson.
I'm not too sure about the buck-toothed tan fellow.
These guys likely wouldn't be caught dead, training at Planet Fitness anyway. But, if they want to give them a paycheck to "promote" their crummy "planet", more power to them.

this being the only national televised commercial bodybuilders (that compete for NPC) are featured in I figured they would promote themselves as such idiots
I mean, yea it might get a fat btch to join planet f@gness but it just makes people see someone like me working out and ask me if Ive seen the latest planet commercial - its sell out
its like if instead of commando arnold did 'so long too wong foo' with snipes and swazee and dressed like a tranny with makeup and hair
its does nothing for the NPC and plantet f@gness has no fitness professionals whether it be competitiors or trainers with a high degree/certification working at their establishments
its like a fckn toys r us for fat bitches -------------- THEY SHOULD JUST MAKE CURVES UNISEX so all the fatass can congregate
I help most people out if Im not in 'ipod mode' -- I mean people like having me in the rec center, ask me what shows im doing, see me at the bar they can say what up-- but thats more my personality
these commercial stereotype when that exactly what they preach they dont do - its like opening a mcdonalds and you have to get on a scale to order and if you fatass is over 215lb your not gettin any fries
what other form of national exposure on television do bodybuilders get other than this shit??? when was last time you saw jay cutler on a tv commercial
big dudes will always be freaks of nature to fat women and twink choads - this just exasperates it
-
it's not like bodybuilders ever had any moral or dignity... it goes with the field.

HAHAHAHAHAH funny vids :D
those videos tell what bodybuilding is about, the culture/the lifestyle all in one clear nutshell.
That's what it is, fucking ridiculous... people can't just enjoy the training part alone, they have to rub oil to themselves, eat man asshole, gay striping to get money, gay porn pornsites to get more money, transsexual sites to get more money... fucking grabe fruits to get more money.
every disgusting, the most absurd and freaky thing from all the underground worlds wrapped into one ---> bodybuilding

ignorant people just don't understand the essence of bodybuilding.. I mean it's comparable to philosophy ::)

Bodybuilding is
way of life gay for life.

So is planet shitness similar to bally's from the 90s? If yes, then dat b a good place to mack up on some sexyass females ;D

WRONG WRONG WRONG ;D

planet fitness is a brilliant concept that can be summed up like this:
"don't worry fat ugly people, there is no one here who puts any effort into their looks to make you feel inferior, just pay $4.99/month and don't show up".

WRONG WRONG WRONG ;D

Spike, you are awfully butthurt over this commercial. Why don't you relax and enjoy them. I find them comical.
