font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Real article synopsis:<\/strong>\u00a0Woman signs up at a California Planet Fitness to begin light physical therapy, and because she was not a fat, physically incompetent blob of a human being, she is immediately flagged as a tryhard for actually exercising at the gym, and cited as someone intimidating other patrons with her toned body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">The link to this story gave no indication that Planet Fitness was involved, but I knew right away that it had to be Planet Fitness, since it hinted at people being intimidated, and only sissies and people who don\u2019t take exercise seriously go there.\u00a0 And it didn\u2019t take long for Planet Fitness to be outed as the place where this incident occurred, naturally.\u00a0 And the second I saw the name Planet Fitness, the entire rest of the story was pretty much not necessary to read, although I did, in order to piece this puzzle together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Basically, this is a sad, sad incident for Planet Fitness, because it basically makes them look like the gigantic hypocrites, and that\u2019s saying something, because gymrats have the capability of being the most egotistical, narcissistic hypocrites out there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Anyway, back to the story, a woman who wasn\u2019t a fat mess of humanity to start out with was declared to be intimidating and a show off to enough patrons to where the tryhard alarm had to be sounded on her.\u00a0 The thing is sure, she\u2019s not fat or even necessarily obese, but she\u2019s not what I\u2019d call \u201ctoned\u201d either.\u00a0 Toned would be the women in the background of a Jillian Michaels workout DVD, or possibly a WWE Diva.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Yet, to the eyes of the regulars of this California Planet Fitness, she\u2019s pretty much an Adonis (or it\u2019s female equivalent) and scares them and their frail self-esteems by showing up to their house, where judgment isn\u2019t supposed to happen, so they judge her right out the door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I mean, I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m even writing about this, because it\u2019s not like this story had any real traction once Planet Fitness was named.\u00a0 Everyone knows Planet Fitness is pretty much the biggest joke of a gym in the world, and that this story lost all credibility upon its mention.\u00a0 But I guess it\u2019s just such an easy target to criticize that I just can\u2019t help myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Sure, if you want to be able to tell your peers that \u201cyou work out,\u201d you could sign up for a Planet Fitness membership to be able to fulfill such claims.\u00a0 But given the criteria of not being allowed to even so much as breathe too hard, because it indicates that you\u2019re tryharding, it\u2019s safe to say that you\u2019re really not going to have much chance at any physical improvement either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Planet Fitnesses are such a joke.\u00a0 Aspiring to be better is what anyone who exercises should strive for, but Planet Fitness\u2019s criteria seems to want to stifle some of the things that come along with those aspirations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I\u2019m proudly pretty tame at my gym, as I don\u2019t slam weights, grunt and\/or scream.\u00a0 I will breathe heavily though, because I take my cardio seriously, and I want to actually elevate my heartrate and actually sweat.\u00a0 If I were at a Planet Fitness, even with my fairly tame gym behavior, I\u2019d probably not last a single workout without getting flagged, because I actually workout my legs, and since I wear shorts, my calves might intimidate other members, or because my sweat might be offensive to those too incapable of generating such excretions on their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Either way, Planet Fitness is a joke, and I\u2019ll continue to view and treat them as one, forevermore.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long story short:\u00a0Woman signs up at a California Planet Fitness to begin light physical therapy, and is immediately flagged as intimidating and showing off after just 15 minutes of walking on a treadmill.
