Roth, 17, says she was told by Planet Fitness that her outfit was inappropriate for the gym and was making other customers uncomfortable. Roth took offense to the gym telling her to cover up or go home and chose to leave and cancel her membership.

I've seen girls, and sadly guys, wear much less in my gym.

agreed. most disturbing is based on this, yoga pants are a no-no. :facepalm:

Guess I shouldn't pass JUDGMENT on poor spelling? Or were they going for that?

got to be more to the story? hell that is overdressed for the PUBLIC rec center we go to?

When she turns 18, we'll need more pictures to verify the authenticity of this story.

I think the main part of the story is the gym and not her. I have been seeing a lot of adds on tv for PF promoting their judgement free zone gyms. They have a specific section for "lunks" who grunt while working out. They are pushing this whole "plane-jane" atmosphere. But I agree, sending her home for this is way overkill. What are they expecting, sweatpants and hoodies?

Apparently this isn't Planet Fitness' first time in the news for this.

“[A Planet Fitness employee] said we’ve been getting complaints,” Austin alleges. “You’re intimidating other members with your toned physique.”

one of their main gimmicks is their $10 monthly fee. As a result we get all of the above nonsense.

I totally get sent home all the time for intimidating the other members of my gym.

There are def. pockets of uber-conservative tea-baggers around enough MI cities, be curious as to which area this was in. But I agree, total :facepalm: for this PF

okay, the articles I read don't say that a planet fitness employee came up to her, just "a lady" ...

I think this might be the case of some ladies with a "glandular problem" being made to fell bad by a skinny bitch?

well, the skinny ----- gets a lifetime membership, and they don't get nuthin... hope they feel better with that outcome, lol

planet fitness sucks
