Gym for bunnies and yuppies

I just gotta blog about this. In the US, there is this gym named "Planet Fitness". Their tagline is "judgment Free Zone". Using this tagline, they tailor their gym for Cardio bunnies and Yuppies. Why do i say this? Several reasons

  • They do not have squat rack
  • They do not allow deadlifts
  • No T-bar rows
  • There is no dumbbells heavier than 40lbs. What!?
  • If you drop your weights or make noise they will slam of the LUNK ALARM - its kindda loud siren to embarrass you. - I don't like the alarm idea, but I agree on this rules, although you ought to be allowed at least a grunt.
  • Bodybuilders are openly discouraged to sign up with their gym

Understand why now? I seriously believe they shouldn't call themselves a gym. What kindda gym that doesn't allow bodybuilding? Sissy club?

You seriously gotta check out their radio commercial. Damn funny.

Now it makes me worry, I just hope FF does not follow the same steps in the future. Right now they are looking more and more like "Planet Fitness".....

I actually had a brief stint at Planet Fitness coz they have a couple of branches in S'pore. Think its way beter than Cali or FF there coz its not so sales oriented as compared. A collegue of mine there was a national bodybuilder so i think its a tad diff from the US one... strange
