Planet Fitness - No lunks?

Question

How can they promise there are no lunks at their gym? Do they turn away anyone with huge muscles? I don't understand.

I'm very irritable tonight and it just bothers me that they make such a claim. I'm not going to the gym anytime soon so it doesn't actually matter to me, I just want to know what you think.

Answer

They have certain rules and if someone breaks one such as wearing certain shirts or dropping weights to drag attention, they set off an alarm and the person has to leave

Answer

What is a lunk?

Answer

They aren't referring to big muscles people....they are more so meaning the people who are regular lifters and such who look down on the newbies. If they see someone picking on another for how they look or such they will kick you out. Also the people who are extremely loud and want everyone to hear them do their workout they will warn to keep it down.

Answer

Their definition of Lunks are people who hardcore lift and are extremely loud and grunting/screaming when lifting. Or one who even drop/throw the weights when they are done. A lot of them have a lunk alarm they will sound as a warming. If you get it twice you're out for the day

Answer

Ugh yes I don't go to the gym because there are no woman's only gyms. Every gym I have ever gone to some massive muscle guy seems to be trying to make eye contact with me while flexing. It sucks. I would like to be at a gym but I want to exercise without being watched. 
What are lunks? Lanky hunks?? 😁

Answer

I had a friend who was quite muscled and was a body builder at one time. He tried to go to Planrt Fitness, not realizing their policy, and they turned him away.

Answer

Ohhh, I glad there isn't a planet fitness here and that my gym isn't so prejudiced, otherwise I'd never be able to get in! Lol

Answer

Moat of them aren't very strict. I always see women in there dressed like strippers and they do nothing about it. I, also, find myself irritated every time I go in there because NO ONE IS EVER DOING ANYTHING. It's more of a social gathering place. They have a free pizza night, free bagel morning, and give out Tootsie Rolls. It's a weird place but I like to go when it's not very busy. Plus, it's cheap. I guess you get what you pay for.  I lost respect for them when they were in the news for that transgender scandal. They revoked a woman's membership because she complained that there was a man in the women's locker room. They said it was against policy (because they are a "judgement free zone") and the man identified as a woman. I'm sorry, but any pervert could say he identifies as woman and sit in the women's locker room doing who knows what. Every Planet Fitness I've been to is overflowing with young women and it makes me uncomfortable to think they would let a man in a locker room where underage girls are changing. This didn't happen at my gym. I know the owner personally and I know he would never stand for something like that but, as a company, I think they make some weird decisions. You can't judge a man sitting in a women's locker room but it's okay to refuse a membership to someone who is in really good shape? Eh, whatever floats your boat, I suppose. I just want somewhere to do my squats, haha.
