Ashby's Personal

I am really late on the topic at hand, but I really don’t keep up with that many gyms (YMCA, Gold, and UA Aquatic Center).

I recently logged on to my Forvm account and came across a topic about Planet “Fitness”. I started to read some of the comments being made and kind of was skeptical about it, a bunch of dudes that want to get big bashing a smaller gym. But after doing some research EVERYTHING they were saying was true. 

Planet “Fitness” has a “No Lunk Head Zone” policy. Basically what this means is if you are busting your ass and grunt of drop the weight after doing one last rep an alarm goes off and staff comes and confronts you. 

Now let me get this straight, you are basically saying that anyone that really wants to gain strength and add size is not allowed at your gym? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! Those “idiots” are the people that will be coming at least five times a week to your gym and KEEP coming. The person that really has no goal in mind or a goal that is easily reachable will be there for maybe three months. After they have reached their goal of loosing 20 pounds, they are done and no more money comes to you. The person that will be coming just about every waking moment he can basically isn’t allowed to come and you are making $1,200 dollars a year off him. 

Back to the “Lunk Head” bit. They define “Lunk Head” basically as someone who grunts, drops weight, or judges. Yes I do grunt in the gym you dumb shit. When I am done to my last set I better be grunting or I haven’t worked myself to my full potential. Yes I do drop weights in the gym. When I am doing 405 for 10 reps on deadlift I don’t think I am just going to place the weight down like it is fine china. As far as the judging goes, I don’t give a shit what you look like or how much weight you can move. Just get the hell out of my way and let me train. I won’t judge you if you don’t judge me for wanting to be a god damn animal in the gym. 

That is just a few of my beefs with Planet “Fitness”. I would write more but I have better stuff to do with my time than give a fuck about that place. Let me know how you feel about this so called gym.
