Planet Scared Shitless<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n

\nAlbert Argibay, a bodybuilder and a state correction officer, was at a Planet Fitness gym with 500 pounds of weight on his shoulders one afternoon this month when the club manager walked over and told him it was time to leave. Mr. Argibay, the manager explained, had violated one of the club\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s most sacred and strictly enforced rules: He was grunting.\n<\/p>\n

\nAt Planet Fitness, some members say, they are humiliated for taking their workouts too seriously.

\n\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cI said to her, \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153I\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2m not grunting, I\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2m breathing heavy,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d recalled Mr. Argibay, 40, an energetic man with the hulking appearance of a pro linebacker. \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cI guess she didn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t like the fact that I challenged her, because she said to me, \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153Meet me up front; I\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2m canceling your membership.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d

At Planet Fitness gyms, grunters and other rule-breakers are treated to an ear-rattling siren with flashing blue lights and a public scolding. The \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201clunk alarm,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d as the club calls it, is so jarring it can bring the entire floor to a standstill. (A lunk is defined, on a poster, as \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cone who grunts, drops weights, or judges.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d)\n<\/p>\n

\nTim Gunther, a 6-foot, 200-pound firefighter in Poughkeepsie, said he and his colleagues were frequently harassed for \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cmaking noises that can\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t be avoided\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d and compared the alarm to a nuclear war siren. \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cThe first time I heard that thing it scared the heck out of me,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d he said. \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cI thought there was a fire, and I\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2m a fireman. Without exaggeration, I\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2ve seen them set that thing off on people just for breathing too loud.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt’s well known that men suffer from . . . uh . . . um . . . wait a minute . . . . . . . . . aphasia more than women.\n<\/p>\n

\nSo, like, stick it and stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
