When you see someone that you want to kill as soon as they open their mouth.

haha oh man...

i can see how planet fitness may be stressing a style of endurance and or toning exercises but outlawing the grunt is a joke..

whats 'judging'?..is that like mocking someone weaker under your breath with your friends or shaking your head when someone struggles with a weight you can easily do?---i think that shit is jackass activity

but another thing is what could be considered a grunt...or a weight 'drop' at that..if you hiss like the guy in the second video is it merely a matter of time before someone bitches about the hiss, calling it a grunt...

what happens if you lower your curling bar 2-4 inches from the ground and let it go is that a 'drop'?

lots of grey areas...grunt on

I have to say, they seem like pretty silly rules...I mean, with the room for interpretation, like notranfer said...grey areas. Plus they HAVE rubber weights that really don't make much noise when you drop them anyway...so that shouldn't be a problem. Judging is..well...rude...but it just seems like maybe the owner was a kid who was picked on when he/she was young and skinny and wants to "protect" the others from having their already low self-esteem crushed even more. While that is a nice gesture...you kinda gotta let adults deal with those things on their own.


BUT, the rules ARE clearly stated on the wall, so if you don't like them...either follow them or go to another gym. I don't really see any grounds for a suit. Sorry, dude. Go to another gym and grunt on.

If your ipod is blasting loud enough to where i can here it, should you be kicked out too?

Certainly if I resisted and started whining about it. If it bothers someone, they should ask me to turn it down, which people have asked before and I comply. No big deal. It's common courtesy.

I think alot of people have misunderstood me. It doesnt bug me to the point I'm going to go out of my way to give someone a piece of my mind when someone grunts, but it's not something I want to hear when I'm pumping my weights. Expressing an opinion is only returned in hostility these days eh?

[MAGnum]

Planet fitness has a no judgement policy and you can be banned from the gym for breaking it.. I have never heard of a no grunting rule and grunting is natural when exserting yourself so I can't see the problem with it. It would be like outlawing licking while eating a lollipop to make grunting against the rules when weight lifting. Stupid rules incite stupid people to do stupid things.

Haha there's this girl at my school who I want to kill whenever I see or hear. She's pretty fat and ugly but she goes around walking shaking her nasty ass like it's sexy or something. She always wears shirts that show off her love handles. She thinks she's the hottest thing to hit the earth when in reality everyone thinks she is quite ugly. But hey, there's nothing wrong with self esteem.

What really gets me about her though is that she lives in some rich town in MA but she thinks shes some ghetto ass puerto rican chick. It really bothers me. The most annoying thing is that whenever she speaks, she uses this voice that is clearly a fake puerto rican accent. It bothers me soo much. She thinks she's all ghetto and shit man.

Sorry just had to vent and the title of this topic reminded me of her. :smokin:

[thcbongman]

lmao.

If they aren't fat or ugly, the typical puerto rican chick is hot. But dude, they'll never stop talking!

[make it legal]

Oh god. I hate all that stupid ghetto shit. IMO they all act retarded.

[Nochowderforyou]

The way I see it, rules are rules, and if you don't like those rules, either go elsewhere or buy some equiptment yourself, and move on in life. Not everyone can be happy in the same establishment.

There are hundreds of different gyms out there, so I don't see the big deal. Just go somewhere else.

Angry original thread post too. You should lighten up a little because trust me, there are much more difficult rules and obstacles you will have to face.

[GHoSToKeR]

Wow, alot of hostility, man..

[206 DankySpanky]

i couldnt even watch that whole fuckin video, anyways

1) everyone complaianing about the grunting was like old or out of shape and probably incapable of grunting themselves

2) who the fuck cares

3) wtf

4) does anyone think its amazing that this is what they report about on the news.?

5) wtf!
