Turns out Elliot is also a libertarian. Coolest guy ever
A black American with a positive opinion on free market. This is
refreshing.
Elliott is only right if planet fitness has no contracts. If they have no
contracts then anyone who really wants to work out should run from that
shit hole .
This guy sounds like a pure libertarian in this video tbh, which I
certainly appreciate hahaha
OK so i decided to step into the lion’s den and joined planet fitness last
month. about a month into my membership i think i have had enough time to
formulate an opinion so here is what i have.
– The planet fitness i go to is in south jersey and when i joined they told
me the lunk alarmed wasn’t ever even functional at that place and they just
didnt think it was needed considering it was right next to the dumbbell
rack where most of the lifters went. Which leads me to my next statement,
they DON’T KICK PEOPLE OUT. the people that work there says it happens
really rarely and to be fair even if you do grunt you’ll barely be heard
because the music there is loud.
– I joined it because it was just 10 bucks a month which is a Godsend. It
was right within my budget so it was a no brainer and had pretty much
everything that all other gyms do in terms of fitness, plus it has a locker
room and shower.
-I has no aspirations to be a body builder or get super ripped like Kali
Muscle. I go there to bulk up and add some strength and mass to my body.
and since im like 5’8 5’9 i dont have to worry about the amounts of weight
that is available (The dumbbells do up to 75lbs) which is fine by me and is
heavy enough. I’ve seen many guys bigger than me not even go past 50-60lbs
so why are people complaining about dumbbell weight when most of yous who
arent serious weight lifters wont even lift one 60lb dumbbell?
All in all if you’re wanting to get into becoming stronger Planet fitness
is ideal for you to start. and if you wish to stay then stay, if not you
can cancel and work your way up to the gym. alot of you gym rats are
whining and complaining like they’re FORCING you to join. they cater to an
audience and though i do not really care for their market i just go
in…workout….and go. nothing more and nothing less.
Elliot. I 100% agree with you on this. It’s too bad that nowadays, many in
our country have this entitlement mentality engraved in their heads. Many
don’t want to take responsibility for themselves in finding what suites
them best. They don’t realize that they are 100% responsible for their own
money and how they spend it. That’s why we do have a marketplace.
If you are to be asking for regulations regarding this issue, you are going
to have a hard time. A big company like Planet Fitness could care less,
because they have the money to surpass them anyway. Plus, these regulations
can drive out their competitors that just might provide the squat racks
that you demand.
Plus, do consider that there are many lobbyists in politics that are
possibly backed up by these companies.
Realistically, you have to understand that in the real world, you can’t
please everybody. These companies as cheap as they seem, are not willing to
listen to you, because they are earning their cash regardless.
If you are complaining about not being able to find another place that can
beat the prices at planet fitness, I say suck it up, work hard to make the
cash, and buy a membership someplace else. It may be more expensive, but
that is all on you and your financial decision making.

“Oh my gosh Becky, they have a new years resolution deal and insurance will
cover some of the monthly cost. Lets get our fat butts in there, walk on
the treadmill at two mph (because that intensity targets fat) then stop
going by February.”
“Yeah I do cross fit, so im going to need 32 of these 45 lb plates so I can
make a couple stacks to jump on a few times”
“Hey bro, want to do some curls?” *stands in squat rack and uses bar for
curls, kills time on phone between sets
STOP WEARING SWEATSHIRTS AROUND YOUR WAIST
WEAR SLEEVES UNLESS YOURE RONNIE COLEMAN OR JAY CUTLER
BENCH/CURL ROUTINE WONT HELP YOU ONE BIT
DONT SIT ON THE BENCH AND STARE AT THE TV
I dont care the makeup of your body, if I see you working a sweat and
training hard I will stay out of your fucking way and respect you.
Yeah, go somewhere else because small local gyms never go out of business.
Do you all know what Walmart did to local businesses? They put them out of
business, because everyone went to Walmart. I’ve seen a few privately owned
gyms having to shut down, because everyone chose Planet Fitness. They’re a
big corporation, have the resources to open 24 hours. Why drive hours to
find a gym with a squat rack when you have Planet Fitness? You pay the dues
so you have every fucking right to make complaints. Doesn’t matter it’s a
privately or publicly owned..
I get what he’s trying to say—but he’s wrong to some extent. I agree
with the fact that Planet Fitness openly denigrates heavy lifters—-so
don’t support them with your money. *BUT*, these people weren’t being
“lazy.” When they signed up for a gym membership, they were going out
there in the world and getting what they want. What if every gym took out
their squat racks? Would you then tell everyone to stop complaining and
buy their own? Not everyone can, let alone has the space for one. A lot
of people pay rent, pay car bills/insurance, health insurance and are on a
tight budget. Esp. if you’re a student who has to pay tuition, pay for
books, pay for room & board or rent, pay for food, pay for your car, gas
and car insurance—–that person isn’t “lazy” if their gym gets rid of the
squat racks and they have to bust $600 to get their own. If I sign up for
a gym with benches and squat racks—then that gym gets rid of them, it’s
the gym who is screwing me over.

+Jonric Storm Shut the fuck up dildo. What kind of a douchebag name is
Jonric. I had to take my dick out ya mom’s mouth when I heard she named
you Jonric. Then I bitch slapped the teeth out of here for it. See what
you did to your Mom, faggot? You’re a bad son.
Wow real mature. What a douchebag this guy is. Not to mention calling
people faggot, what kind of 19th century kind of mindset this guy is.
Better yet lets go back to the days of slavery. I mean why not? The market
can correct itself. Homophobic reject.
I’m not sure I would even join Planet Fitness, because it sounds like their
policy is too strict, but at the same time i’m sick and tired of the kids
that walk around the gyms i’ve been to, who don’t even make an effort to
put weights down like I do, they just throw them. I’m sick of the acting
badass, walking down hallways with their lats flared out so no one can get
by, looking to start some shit while normal, average people are trying to
get a workout in. The pro bodybuilders don’t even do some of the annoying
shit that these wannabee badasses do. Go watch their videos.
People like the guy in this video can bitch about Planet Fitness, but the
truth is most of the public doesn’t want to exercise in a place with people
who are so insecure about themselves, they need to throw their workout in
your face to be noticed. People want to work out, they don’t want to have
to deal with your stupid shit on top of their routine.
I couldn’t agree with this more. I work for planet fitness and I hate when
people complain about the gym. There are TONS of gyms with heavier weights,
squat racks, etc. Go to those. A couple of guys who are obvious geniuses
decided to market a gym to the millions of people who don’t LIKE gyms and
called it “judgement free”. It’s a marketing strategy for people who don’t
know how to use gyms. If you’re not one of those people then don’t go to
that gym and realize that it’s not meant for you.
Just like a women’s clothing store has women’s clothing so men won’t shop
there, they find another store that sells men’s clothes. Get it? Thanks.
Now everyone stop coming into planet fitness to complain and instead find a
gym elsewhere.
I agree but respectfully disagree. I’m a bodybuilder. I’m not into lifting
heavy shit up and putting shit down like power and weight lifters. I did
20 years in Army medical field so to me, functional muscles are the muscles
we use for daily like combing your hair, brushing your teeth, putting your
clothes or shoes on. Soldiers who have been injured in combat goes
through Occupation therapy. The Soldiers are retrained to use their
muscles so they are function to open cabinet door, comb their hair, or bath
themselves. That’s fucking functional muscles. It fucking drives my crazy
when I see people working out in the gym saying that they’re working of
their functional muscles. In this video, Elliott called out bodybuilders
but said nothing about power or weight lifters which I felt was wrong.
Bodybuilding is a lifestyle because you eat, sleep, and train to gain
muscles. A power lifter’s diet doesn’t come close to a bodybuilder’s diet.
I agree with Elliott that people true people shouldn’t support Planet
Fitness because they don’t want you there. They want the beginners. Gold’s
gyms in San Antonio are starting to be like Planet Fitness. I seen the
head fit trainer at Gold’s gym in San Antonio telling gym members doing
heavy deadlifts to not make noise performing heavy deadlifts. You can’t
grunt or make any noise when doing heavy deadlifts, squats, bench press or
any other lifts. These idiots should know Gold’s gym history coming out of
Venice Beach, California which is known at the mecca of bodybuilding in
America.
WAIT A MINUTE……Dennys stopped serving blacks!????? I think id have
heard bout that considering how crazy people get bout race issues….good
for them
Dude…. I don’t like all the cursing in your video… But you hit the nail
on the HEAD! Going to Planet Fitness (oxymoron) to get into shape would be
like going to a movie theatre to watch an action movie in which the theatre
didn’t alliw sound. Or watching a comedy but laughter was not allowed….
Planet Fitness has tapped into the market of people who go to a gym but
really have no desire to eat right and get in shape. That my friend… Is a
huge market…. Wish I thought of it…
Who exactly do they want to serve?
This rant is only half correct, if they had a squat rack when you signed up
then you have absolutely every right to complain(not that I would every
consider them)!!
I like the luxury of having my own workout equipment. I’d rather finance
payment on a machine or just straight up buy a machine rather then paying
for monthly gym memberships that I may or may not consistently use.
My friend saw a dude eating pizzas on a bicycle machine there LOL
he is correct just go to another gym. Fuck planet fitness they are for old
people and mothers who just had a baby and trying to love some baby fat. I
go to LA Fitness and i squat, dead lift and max out all day no issues
threre!!
For once I see an intelligent take on this whole planet fitness whining.
For once somebody takes responsibility for themselves and doesn’t expect
the world to be subject to his preferences, or worse, feelings.
Heres a guy that won’t be dependent on others for what he wants, he’ll do
it himself and will most likely find success.
Whats so disturbing is to see how many expect the world to mold to them.
His point about Dennys couldn’t be more right on.
Its sad that the population has bought into the lie of having a right to
others services.
If its your privately owned whatever, no one should have the right to tell
you what to do with it. Its such a simple concept, but so difficult for
people to grasp, unless its turned on them.
These people wanting so much to attack Dennys really comes from this
cultures entitlement mentality. Why would you force people to let you into
their house? If you owned a Dennys, should you be forced to serve the KKK.
If your gay and owned a Dennys, would you want to be forced to serve that
crazy God hates fags church? You can’t have it both ways.
The buzz word of the day is tolerance. Its really about control, not
tolerance.
If you truely believe in a free society, this doesn’t mean you support the
rights just of things you agree with. It means supporting everyone’s
rights, especially those that offend you the most. The same with free
speech. Thats almost dead now. The moment the idea of hate speech came
along and then making it a crime, free speech was lost. You can only have
real free speech if you support the rights of people who’s speech offends
you most.
Cant remember who said it, but what use to be one of the most important
quotes in the US is sadly been forgotten.
And this being a bit paraphrased, but it was, “to the depths of my being, i
deeply despise and utterly hate that which you are saying, but will give my
very life to secure your right to say it.”
That’s the true definition of tolerance.
No gym anywhere cares about you… period. They just want your money!!!
WHO CARES IF THEY TOOK OUT THE SQUAT RACKS, NO ONE EVEN SQUATS IN THEM JUST
A BUNCH OF FGTS DOING FUCKING CURLS IN THEM… LIKE WTF MAN. GO DO THAT
SHIT SOMEWHERE ELSE LOL. BUY YOUR OWN WEIGHTS WORKOUT AT HOME YOU CAN GET A
DESCENT WEIGHT SET CHEAP ON CL.
Reason I go to Planet Fitness is because I don’t feel the pressure of
competition
Why are people so deathly afraid of grunting or dropping weights? Do these
people have PTSD or something? If someone grunts or drops a weight, I
usually don’t even notice, and if I do, who cares? It’s just a sound.
