Planet Fitness removes squat rack because its too intimidating.

Planet Fitness treadmills only go up to 4 mph, 5 and above is intimidating.

[Straw Man]

Planet Fitness regularly touts how it’s not like all the other gyms and encourages soft people to indulge in its purple haze of mediocrity. And now they’re taking it one step further: Getting rid of squat racks for being “intimidating.”

Redditor Kalerad posted his problem with Planet Fitness’s overly all-inclusive philosophy on the site’s Fitness subsection.
“I walked in noticing the outline of dust on the floor where the squat rack once stood. I was heartbroken. Especially since I had just recently found a love for squatting.

“I of course had to ask an employee “WTF?” He regretfully told me that a few days prior corporate came in and removed it because ‘a customer complained that it was intimidating.’”

The move is one of many — along with offering free pizza and bagels and tanning beds — to lure in the casual gym goer who might be turned off by gyms being a little too “fitness oriented.”

Either way, if you want to do serious workouts at any point in your life, make sure to avoid Planet Fitness. And if you’re the type of person who’s intimidated by a series of metal rods that make people stronger and healthier, we’re probably all better off if you remove yourself from society’s gene pool.

jesus, this has to be a joke

now I want to join just so I can complain the the treadmills are too intimidating and the barbells and dumbellls  too

maybe I can trick the idiots in corporate to remove them and then I will complain that the leg extension and pulldown machine are scary and soon they will just have an empty building

I heard the male urinals are next on the way out

They are going to replace them all with toilets

They want everyone to piss sitting down

I'm shocked there are actual free weights in Planet Fitness.

They run an advertisement on the radio every morning where some guy asks a "bro" if he got his burn on today. The lunk alarm goes off. Planet fitness will not stand for that sort of question.

Perfect time for chaos to show up for some tire flipping

after being in a filthy gym, filled with iron and equipment, I say you don't really need to stay in one  after you reached your goals... I mean, it's a great place to gain new muscle but after that.. meh
I'm now in one of these homo gyms, pay less, much cleaner, girls are much more good looking,etc
I train about 3 times/week and it's more than enough to maintain.

steroid abusers start to become a bore after a while
