Ever been to place where just by stepping into the building you feel a surge of excitement coursing through your body? A tingling jolt of anxiety and apprehension. Seeing people actually exert themselves and pushing themselves to their limit. Leaving this place you feel a sension of euphoria because today you accomplished something. Its called a gym something Planet Fitness is definetly not. Not only does it not provide the equipment to be a gym it certainly does not have the atmosphere nor the fitness enthusiasts you expect to see. In fact it is a degrading and deabilitating place for anyone hoping to see any gains and improvements in their physique. HOW DO I KNOW? WELL I WORKED THEIR FOR OVER A YEAR! In that year not only was I subjected to horrible treatment from the management but suffered the reprisal from many dismayed customers who had been offended or mistreated by the manager. It claims to be a judgement free zone Hah! If anything it is a congregation of the sharpest and most forked tongues I have ever seen. Customers come in drawn by the 10$ a month rate only to find that the quality of the gym if just as low if not lower. Customers soon become the gossip of the employee circle. Many a times i have seen and heard customers being insulted and berated behind their backs and to their faces. Customers do not go to a gym to be insulted. A mediocre gym that is wasting the wonderful trainers they have. One man in particular. He has changed many people both physically and mentally. I went to him a lean boxer striving to slab on pounds of meat only to have gained 60 POUNDS OF ALL LEAN MUSCLE IN MY TIME WITH HIM. NONE OF THAT CREATINE GARBAGE AND WHAT NOT ALL STRAIGHT DIET AND EXERCISE. Working their i have seen this trainer’s potential being wasted by being constantly locked up by the owners and manager in a office that is so small it can hardly be called such, more like a safe keeping the only one amazing thing the gym has to offer locked up. How about that? A gym, which is supposed to make you better is actually hampering your goals and most likely having its fair share of laughs at your expense. Through this gym i have met many miracalous people who all share this sentiment. One particular women was blessed with great genes. She through hard dieting and hard dedicated training along side the above mentioned amazing trainer made stupendous gains only to be harrassed by the management, insulted actually called FAT! (Where in the planet fitness creed Judgement free zone say that you should become a mockery) She was acutally being cricitzed for being too big. What in gods name is the problem there. God forbid someone actually came to this gym and got what they wanted done which given the horrendous environment is a mircale kudous to you and anyone else who might have suffered through this debacle and gained something. I sought employment their yearning to learn about fitness , be exposed to people genuinely interested in their health and physique and most importantly have a wonderful workout and work environment. Too bad it didn’t deliver on all of those. I am beyond outraged at the treatment of the kind customers who I have met and actually see change for the better physically yet mentally become bogged down and actually dread coming into the place. I have met extremely intellectual people there who agree with me. One such individual influenced me greatly and opened my eyes to the hypocrisy of planet fitness. An intellectual and enthusiastic bicyclist he introduced me to many of his friends who are among the kindest and most intelligent people who i have ever met and the only way i think of reciprocating their kindness towards me would be by exposing this down trodden environment that they are sadly subjected too. It may be hard to believe the rant of a young man aspiring to be much more but if you dont wanna take my word for it simply google planet fitness im sure you will find quite the description – most assurdley negative and why not check out this link of another reveiew while your at it http://eastfallschurchplanetfitness.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/the-aftermath-jerry-bianucci/#more-5. If you’ve made it this far into my blog then i have done my job as a writer by keeping you both drawn to my writing and to the truth of the ultimate hypocrisy. Thank you kindly for bearing with me and showing a tremendous amount of patience.
