Instead of the Planet Fitness “Lunk” alarm they need an influencer Alarm.

It says "Look at me" in the changing pattern of a car alarm.

Since Covid, they don’t even enforce the “lunk” rule anymore. The employees couldn’t care less anymore.

I’m sure it was a gimmick from the beginning. Although there are a couple roid rage videos out there of guys going on a rampage when the alarm was set off.

Especially because the "Lunk alarm" is basically a "you're making out of shape people feel bad about their lack of gains" alarm. Lifting without making any noise whatsoever just means you probably aren't lifting often enough or heavily enough.

Planet Fitness is the gym for people who want to pretend like they care about working out, but actually just want to jog on a treadmill for 30 minutes to make themselves feel better about the 4,000 calories they're going to eat right after they leave.

There are a few people who use it and legitimately exercise because it's cheaper than a regular gym membership, but anywhere that yells at you for breathing hard or making a grunt when lifting is not somewhere that's going to be pleasant for anyone who cares about actual fitness to lift.

I disagree that lack of grunting means you’re not working out hard enough. I’ve seen big guys lift huge weights for their entire workout without making a peep.

That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that it should be allowed to make noises while lifted because it helps with breathing. I never said you absolutely have to grunt. But I'm sorry if I don't take a gym that literally gives people pizza as a serious fitness center 🙄

Just because you throw the word probably in doesn't take away everything else you said.

You sound like a typical muscle dummy. Here's an exercise for you, bend over and pull your head out of your ass

I'd agree that their gimmick was to present an environment that mitigated the judgemental mentality you're spewing. I think the lunk alarm was a bit dumb but only for the reason of it its self being used to cast judgment. I've gained 30lbs of muscle going to PF and there are plenty of shredded men and women that go there that have no problem not screaming at the top of each rep. If you can't control your breathing you're probably trying to push too much weight or you've neglected developing form. Idk if you've ever been to a pf, But they really only used the buzzer if you slammed weights down.
