“Planet Fitness Is Built on a Lie”: Bodybuilding Veteran Lambast $222 Million Fitness Franchise for Its Bizzare Rules

Bodybuilding is an industry that has different kinds of individuals with various forms of physique as well as height and the world of fitness is as diverse as it gets. There are various athletes, trainers, and fitness enthusiasts who embrace a myriad range of body types and disciplines. This industry requires the most amount of encouragement and acceptance; however, some people claim that there is a different mindset in some parts of the fitness world.

Long-time bodybuilding coach John Romano recently explained why he does not like Planet Fitness and why there is no judgment zone policy, which according to him is completely fake.

Veteran coach slams million-dollar fitness company

The YouTube short video shows Zack Zeigler and Romano discussing Planet Fitness and their no judgment zone policy. According to the coach, this policy was a complete scam because the reality was something completely different than what was being projected in advertisements.

He explained, “In Planet Fitness you cannot put more than four plates on each side of the leg press. You’re not allowed to deadlift you can’t do anything that makes any noise or any strenuous movement. All with the mission of not being judgmental in a zone where people are so frail and so emotionally barren that they have to worry about not working out because they are being judged.”

He also explained that he had never been inside a gym where muscular people were judging non-muscular people and in fact, the bulkier people always help the ones who are amateur. Planet Fitness was also criticized by Nick Simmons, who insulted the million-dollar company.

Simons has allegations against Planet Fitness

He highlighted what appeared to be a collective dislike for the physique that a bodybuilding champion possesses. “Like, bodybuilder is the most hated body type for sure, right?” he remarked. Targeting Planet Fitness, he said, “This is proof you guys don’t actually go to the gym but just don’t like people like me in there.”

He also labeled the fitness facility as a Five-pizzeria with weights. Even though the comedian covered it up with his humor, two sentences stand out from his set. He said, “Well, when I was there, there’s a picture that looks like me with a cross, like a cigarette,” and the one where he recalls, “One time… the dude behind the counter… goes, ‘Actually, we don’t like people like you in here because you might intimidate our clients.’”
