Allison Roth went to her Michigan gym regularly to work out and stay in shape, but she claims that after a recent controversial decision by Planet Fitness, she canceled her membership and began looking for other options.

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.

 

[NJmike PE]

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?

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.

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

 

[engineergurl]

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

 

[Road Guy]

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

 

[engineergurl]

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