Planet Fitness is the Walmart of exercise except Walmart pisses off employees and Planet is constantly screwing with members.
First they removed “intimidating squat racks” then requested a woman cover up her bare stomach.
Today’s target — a pregnant woman.
Melissa Mantor claims she was told to “cover up or leave” a Planet Fitness last week in South Carolina. The incident has left her incredibly embarrassed and she claims she’s “not comfortable working out in public anymore — at least not for the remainder of her pregnancy.”
Mantor said she was approached by a staff member who said she was in violation of the gym’s dress code — a code, Mantor said, she was never aware of. The staff member told Mantor her “belly was hanging out,” a fact which Mantor conceded. She was about 19 weeks pregnant at the time.
Mantor isn’t looking for money — or for things to get ugly — she just wants an apology.
Melissa, I’m sorry. I’m sorry your only gym option is Planet Fitness. Because they suck.
