Lunkheads & gym rats

[supergee]

When a Planet Fitness gym opened near our house, I wondered why there was a gym for people who want to be shaped like planets. It turns out to be stupider than that. Planet Fitness gyms are places where one is supposed to exercise without doing real exercise things like grunting and sweating. If you want to look good while exercising, go to Planet Fitness; if you want to exercise to be healthier, go somewhere else.

Thanx to Ta-Nehisi Coates

I've been lectured by staffers for breathing too hard when lifting, and I've gotten dirty looks for excessive sweating in the weight room.

Wow, WTF. The dudes grunting and sweating in the gym have never been a problem to me. Now, the dudes refusing to allow others access to the weight machines in between sets, and who sit on their asses ogling other people's asses for several minutes while I stand there clearly waiting to use the machine...they're a problem.
