Planet Fitness does it again
American Family News ^ | Mar 15, 2024 | Charlie Butts

Patricia Silva of Fairbanks, Alaska recently recorded a video after she made a startling discovery in the Planet Fitness locker room.

"There's a man in the woman's locker room shaving, a little girl sitting in the corner," Silva detailed. "She could have been 12 years old, in a towel, kind of freaked out that there's a man shaving in her locker room."

Silva took a picture of the man and confronted him, but he assured her that his presence in the locker room was okay because of his sexuality. When Silva approached management about the situation, Planet Fitness sided with the man and canceled her membership.

All other issues aside, this is just a bad business decision. The number of men who identify as women cannot possibly be greater than the number of women who want to feel safe in their showers and dressing rooms. They will simply chase away a larger percentage of customers than they will attract.

Correct. And it’s all about publicity, word of mouth, etc. If more people would start talking about PF like the trans-pandering zealots they are, more people would find somewhere else to work out. Not everyone in the realm of PF use (e.g., adolescent girls) are not aware of the policy and they don’t need to be subjected to some hairy guy flaunting his junk around for the thrill of it. Don’t just boycott. Talk them down, too.

Watch for Silva to be sued for shooting vids in the locker room.
The trans lobby doubles down...

They discriminate against body builders.

“They discriminate against body builders.”

Every remotely serious weight lifter I’ve known, including me, who joined Planet Fitness, got kicked out. None of us were obnoxious or intimating. If someone belongs to Planet Fitness I assume they’re either a woman or just want to say they belong to a gym. They’re not serious about working out.

All real men & women should all cancel their memberships, and ask for immediate refunds.

Why would a queer man want to be in the women’s locker room in the first place?
They would have a permanent boner being in the men’s locker room...

Almost enough to make me want to join so I can quit.

Any women or girls who are members should seriously consider whether they want to shower and change clothes in front of any flasher, transvestite, child molester, rapist, or other pervert who says that he is a woman.

I find it disgraceful they do this.

You guys are there ripping muscle fibers. Who wouldn’t drop weights and yell!

When I did circuit training many years ago (and I’m a woman)...it was the sound of a gym! And I admired guys pushing it to the limit. And the brotherhood and friendship.

Well, good on ya’! And keep up the good work!

I also think it’s jealousy, TBH.

We didn’t do that. That’s amateur hour stuff.

Fair enough. TBH, It just didn’t bother me.

So, are lesbians supposed to use the men’s locker room?

The “sexuality” rule is not what they are doing.

In this Universe where there are Absolutes, Planet Fitness instead has a business model with their foundation is in a fake, virtual Universe that screams in fake rage the loudest.
