“CBS) WAPPINGERS FALLS, N.Y. You can lift, strain, crunch and sweat all you want at the Planet Fitness in the Dutchess County village. But whatever you do, do not grunt.”
When I read this story… I could hardly believe my ears. They go on at Planet Woosey to justify themselves:
“We’re creating an atmosphere that’s not intimidating,” said Carol Palazzolo, the gym manager, who yanked Argibay’s membership ( they called the police on this dude) on Monday.
“Carol” is an odd name for a gym manager… most of the one’s I know rhyme with Spike. Here’s the story. After checking out their web site… what you really have here is a ‘ladies’ gym that invites respectable men to join in order to help carry the freight… their moto — ‘the judgement free zone’ — is sweet and nonthreatening.
Carol and Planet Fitness… you are our Weenie Award Winner of the Day… the full one incher!
Well, boys, it goes without saying that Planet Fitness is not for you. I don’t blame the pink shirts at Planet Fitness… I blame you… open your eyes! Instead of rows of power benches and squat racks… they have rows of ‘steppers’ and ‘elliptical machines’… if they have T.V.’s, be assured that they are not tuned to anything resembling football. This is not a guy place at all…. this is a place where you can go to talk to the girls and spend the day while someone else watches the kids.
So, men ( and real women)… what can you do? You should join a real gym … or do as we do… build your own. Then you can GRUuUUUunNNntTT to your hearts content!
Here’s what a couple others others say:
