What the fuck, I thought was a shop. Does that thing actually go off? What happens if it does? Do they actually suck out my gains? I'm fucking scared, bros.

I go to this gym called Fit 4 Less that is run by Goodlife and it has an alarm like this. Not once have I ever heard it go off in over a year even after dropping weights doing dumbbell press.

Some dyel sits at the counter next to a button that he presses whenever someone grunts or drops a weight loudly.
It's basically Planet Fitness's way of judging people who actually want to put effort in, despite the company's motto
This isn't fuckin real isn't It?

What is their actual game? It seems like they actually want to punish people for being successful and encourage being the least serious possible. I thought that was just a /fit/ meme because they try to be casual-friendly, but this is genuinely some Anthem-tier "punish all who dare succed above the miserable masses" dystopian bullshit. Nietzsche was right, the age of the Last Man truly has come.

Planet fitness is only $10 a month, and there aren't weights big enough for you to loudly grunt anyway so there shouldn't be an issue.

I go to the same one I've heard the alarm go off once.

Planet Fitness is a mass market gym. They want as many people as possible to join up. The lowest common denominator of people are fat, weak, and/or intimidated by fit/swole people. Instead of mirin or seeking guidance from the beastly and beautiful, they'd rather slink away back into mediocrity and fat acceptance and drown their shame in Ben & Jerry's.
Nietzsche was right about the degeneration of man resulting from accommodating the weak. /fitlit/ came too close to producing the Übermensch and had to be destroyed.

I will work on a /fitlit/ general as soon as I have the time. We need not stop now.

Hamplanet fitness is alright, just slap some headphones on and do your own thing. I grunt all the time, not excessively loud cause im not a BLACK, but usually on last sets. Never had any problems. I never drop weights, treat other peoples shit with respect... negatives are good for gains too...
Only downside is the extremely limited amount of free weights. Don't indulge or even turn your head at the bullshit they serve on first monday of the month. Just do your own thing. Its cheap. I like it.
Dont hear the alarm go off much either, maybe once every 2-3 days, just ignore it. If you arent dropping weights then you should be fine.
>>40992362
They don't give a fuck about judging or not. They just want that delicious fatty/skelly people money.
I wonder if you could sue the shit out of them on grounds of discrimination.

Same. The only time I heard the alarm go off is on empty Friday nights, when it's only me, and the receptionist/ buddy who likes kill time being an asshole.
