Ok I get it planet fitness their gym their rules.
But I have one question that I am too stupid to figure out. There definition of a "LUNK" includes this little example and I don't understand it. "A guy drinking out of a gallon water jug, what a lunk" I think thee Lunk alarm is stupid but I get they want a gym for a specific market about making people feel good I get it. Grunting, dropping weights, etc. can be intimidating to some people (I don't know why but I know it does) but how in the hell is hydration intimidating to any extent of the meaning of the word intimidating? |

Quoted:
Drinking from a gallon jug makes you look like a douche. Get a water bottle like the rest of us. Again how is how you drink something douche or not? do my shoes have to match my shorts also. can I sweat or is that verboten by some social rule. And I use a large water bottle but it does not bother me to see someone drink from a gallon jug. |

The gallon jug is my only peeve, I couldn't care less what color you dress. |
| Backwards Monster hat, bonus points for sunglasses, wifebeater tank for maximum sweat spillage and BO production, homeboy shorts, fingerless lifting gloves, weightlifting shoes that look like 1980s hitops. Gotta have the gallon milk/ice tea jug filled with water because staring in the mirror while you curl 80 pounds is really getting you dehydrated. |

Drinking from a gallon jug makes you look like a douche. Get a water bottle like the rest of us. There is no need to have a gallon of water at a gym for a normal workout That being said, I don't think it should trigger a lunk alarm at PF. PF is a Safe Space I guess. |

Quoted: I don't care what people drink out of. Maybe it's because you can grab a gallon of spring water for $0.69, but the 16.9oz bottles at the convenience store are $1.19? But...I've literally seen them with "Grade A milk" stickers on the side. It wasn't being frugal...it was being a douche. And you can refill those water bottles. Cool things called water fountains in the gym. When you're working out at a good intensity, just no real need to suck down a lot of water... |

You are talking about a gym whose primary market is lazy folks who don't like to go to the gym and therefore get intimidated by someone else that works there and actually puts in effort. Why are you acting surprised? |

Quoted: Drinking from a gallon jug makes you look like a douche. Get a water bottle like the rest of us. ETA - is a "lunk alarm" an actual thing? Do they actually ring a bell when something "lunk" happens? That seems like it would be worse than any lunkness that could happen. |

But yelling "OHHHH YEAH!!!" After chugging from a Nalgene doesn't have the same effect. ETA - is a "lunk alarm" an actual thing? Do they actually ring a bell when something "lunk" happens? That seems like it would be worse than any lunkness that could happen. Quoted:

LOL, my 16 YO son goes thru a gallon of water at the gym, swilling from a repurposed milk jug.
Heck he gets hollered at at a powerlifting gym, grunts, sweats, and walks around in a cloud of chalk dust. While wearing a singlet. 
Also knocking on the 1400# club, so grunt away! |

I loved Planet Fitness. I signed up over the winter so I could run on the treadmill. Yoga pants everywhere.  Quoted:

You mean normal people still subject themselves to that fucking place? I loved Planet Fitness. I signed up over the winter so I could run on the treadmill. Yoga pants everywhere. This is why I won't join a gym. I like being married and don't need all of that around. |

get your workout in a leave.... dont pay attention to the signs on the wall been going to PF 2 years now and have never heard the lunk alarm once lunks outnumber the fatties 3:1 Yep, lots of built dudes in the PF I work out at. People of all shapes and sizes working out in there. My only complaint is lack of free weights for bench work. Otherwise, it's a clean, inexpensive place to get in a workout. |

Ugh. I hate the gallon jugs. Always a douche. Usually with capri yoga pants or tall fucking socks and an eighty dollar haircut. but why the hate. is it the Hi-Point of drinking containers in your eyes? I'm probably just jealous because these are the toolboxes that get the strange. |
