If someone pulled this thing while I was training, the lunk alarm would quickly be "lunked" by a 2.5 lb flying plate.

Lunk

"Lunk" is an ex-serviceman who is trying to come to grips with his act of desertion. He is a powerful man, almost brutish, yet he is a totally lovable character. Lunk is always eager to lend a hearty, helping hand in the war to recapture the Earth from the Invid.

Lunk came with a gun (the Gallant H-90 in rifle configuration).

Somebody posted the radio interview they did with that chick who tossed the dude for grunting. Sounds like such a phony bitch. The self righteous kind that frowns on people who deadlift, which happens to be one of the best overall body exercises their is. Grunting? What is a guy to do when he needs to summon that inner gut strength to get 1 more rep, grunt.

The turning of World Gyms into Planet Fitness is a sad day for all the hardcore lifters who use Worlds. In Seekonk Ma. Power lifters, Bodybuilders and just big in shape guys are no longer welcome. They intimidate members

. No they should inspire members to start getting in better shape. Not the kind of shape you get at a social club.

I'd love to see Planet Fitness go under for such a stupid move. I was a Worlds member for 10 years, but will never set foot in a Fitness Center. All they're looking for are members who singe contracts and stop comming after a few weeks. They have a membership card to show their friends they workout

What's next? A Starbucks in every gym?

Why join a gym like that in the first place

the guy who got kicked out should of been kicked out for stupidity anyway..

TheEgoCrusher · « **Reply #8 on:** November 16, 2006, 09:44:22 AM »

Board, that's the same thing I was thinking. Why in the hell would anyone even think about JOINING that gym? Even if it's the only one in your area...I'd drive 30 minutes to another gym or even have a home gym before joining that place.

Check out the BRUTAL weight stack on that BodyMasters seated row...looks like a MONSTER 150lb weight stack!

Check out the FIEROSCIOUS cut off T on the dude with his back facing the camera...looks too hardcore to be in that gym. I bet he was warned about wearing a BLACK cut off T with a logo of a guy or animal SQUATTING.

Is this true? I often visit a worlds and it is probably my favorite gym. Will all the franchises change over too?

Heywood · « **Reply #18 on:** November 16, 2006, 11:13:12 AM »

This may be good in that it will bring back real gyms. That is, you'll have your (1) Gloria Marshall Salons and (2) gyms.

someone said planet fitness has bought out world gym.

now that doesn't mean that planet fitness corporate now owns ALL world gyms since they are all owned by individuals.

what it means is they have bought the world gym name and will collect dues from those gyms each month for use of the name.

someone else said the current owners of world gyms have the option to change to planet fitness really cheap or stay as a world gym if they prefer.

some of the current world gyms simply cannot change over because of the way they are setup. they couldn't reduce their price down to a planet fitness level because of their sheer size and what they offer people.

some rural world gyms are doing very well and are leaders in their markets. most are doing pretty poorly because they are getting lost in the shuffle in their markets - if they go hardcore they are dead yet they are too gritty to not be hardcore - a big dilema.

most of the smaller, struggling world gyms will become planet fitness gyms though for sure.

Wow. My world is a pretty dirty place. people powerlifting at all times, lots of chalk, etc. They have cardio machines probably 400 feet away on the other side. But a large chunk of the membership is young guys, 20s/30s, who do lift loudly.

They have a place called 'Omni' where all the yuppies go. Has a salon, juice bar, etc. You can actually get a pedicure while doing cardio if you want.

might depend on the owner...

if a LOT of world gyms go across to planet then the world gym brand will be weakened further making the owners of the big, successful worlds think "why should I stay with world if there are hardly any of us left anymore?"

depends where they are really... world gym might have a GREAT name in their town yet be considered rubbish in another town in another state.

one thing with world and golds is they haven't had a standardised business model for every gym the way planet fitness has - you know exactly what every planet fitness will be like. some golds/worlds are hardcore and some are softcore depends on the owner really...

my prediction is a lot of the softcore worlds will go golds and the hardcore will go powerhouse.

onlyme will predict they will all go temple gym...
