Exactly....All these guys are acting like someone is taking away their toys or something and crying as if a child....I cannot believe some of them lol...Open your own damn gym if you don't like it or don't go to Planet Fitness LoL....And some of you guys comparing it to taking away your civil rights is a complete joke....But I do have to say it is very entertaining to read you guys bitch all up and down the boards and accomplishing nothing but sitting down and Salk all out of breath lol....Thanks for the laughs guys...Only on Getbig...
Only if we could accomplish as much as you have with your posts.

You can state percentages of hardcore lifters to lights users all day but it wont change the fact that this rule is rediculous. Fine, fine....if you want your quiet, "unintimidating" gym then you can have it. Its not that I feel it will one day take over my gym (it very well may) but its an accurate reflection of society. We are not just seen this way in the gym but walking around on the street. I can say from personal experience that everywhere I go I am seen as a "challenge" by others. I come to this conclusion because I am frequently confronted with people who seem to need to prove to themselves that they are "just as tough as that guy!" Its not just me it happens to either. Its downright annoying. I dont think that everyone should go out and "get big" but if thats not your thing then just accept it and learn to feel good about who you are without looking down on others for making a noise, sweating, or looking intimidating. YES, I understand that this will not change anything because I am just on an internet board but it doesnt mean we cant have an opinion and discuss it. I dont care to change it (because we are all entitled to do what, go where, and say anything we wish) but I feel I should let people know that such things exist and are not universally agreed with. I WILL let everyone I know hear about this and try to keep those who I am in direct contact with informed about what can only be described as segregation (n. The policy or practice of separating people of different races, classes, or ethnic groups, as in schools, housing, and public or commercial facilities, especially as a form of discrimination.). This IS discrimination. If that is really how you feel then go to Planet fitness, but know that this is how you will be seen by "the lower percentage of gym goers."
Thats just about all I have to say on that so start tearing it apart if you wish.
