Does This Gym Even Care About Women?

- Опубліковано 22 бер 2024
- Last week, a Planet Fitness member posted a video to Facebook saying that she saw a transgender individual shaving in the women's bathroom. While this is nothing new, many people across the country are canceling their Planet Fitness memberships.

As a guy I feel weird with guys walking around with their junk air drying, I can't imagine how uncomfortable women must feel.
why? It's completely normal to be naked in a changing area. Assuming men and women are in the correct ones.
@Charlie-gc1ds A changing area is for changing. Changing means being briefly, temporarily naked for the few seconds it takes to put on clothes. If your bits are being openly displayed, you're not changing, you're just being naked.
@@Charlie-gc1ds Changing room is not a nudist beach. You should change your clothes there, not parade naked.
I use leave in conditioner on my downstairs hair so I actually do need a full hour of air drying in the locker room.
yeah true yeah lol kind weird. Yeahb
Out of curiosity, I googled news articles about this recent controversy. All of the headlines labelled the woman who complained as Right wing, Conservative, etc. We live in a world where not wanting men in the women's locker room can't even have bipartisan support.
Isn't that sad? The left is quick to label anyone that doesn't agree with them.
Shut up and get a job.
Would it be illegal to have big stickers printed saying Absolutely No Penis's Beyond this point with small print at the bottom saying If you don't use it then lose it, one giant step for womankind and their safety and sticking them on doors to strictly female areas ...
I lean left and I do not support these freaks.
I don't know what happens in the women's locker room... but surely shaving is considered not the time nor place at the Gym
I canceled my PF Membership. When I the guy behind the counter said “ I’ve been doing a lot of this since Sunday.” That was last Thursday. He didn’t ask me why I canceled.
I remember fighting with them about canceling my membership when I moved to a city where there was no Planet Fitness. They charged me for six months before I just closed my bank account and went to a new bank. If I knew that I could have taken a picture in the bathroom and gotten my account canceled within days, you bet your ass I would have done it.
Jesus Christ, the same exact situation happened to me- and I'm literally kicking myself now for not realising then (2018) that simply breaking their silly little policies would have gotten me banned. 🤦🏿♂️
indeed, two ways to cancel a gym membership:
go through their slow and often unsuccessful cancellation policy- very low IQ
do something that isn't illegal but VERY against the gym's policy that will get you banned and your membership cancelled immediately: high IQ.
the fun part is coming up with an idea that isn't illegal but also very against the gym's policy.
@@charlesduncan2051 For example, using the word "woman" to refer to actual women? :)))
They have no right to resist canceling a subscription service. That's your right. I would have sued if I were you.
Planet Fitness values diversity and they don't discriminate....that is, they don't discriminate against trans people, they discriminate against women and normal people.
The whole Planet Fatness model is discrimination. They built their business shaming bodybuilders. You know, the people gyms were invented for.
YES!!!
Exactly, they only discriminate against half of the US population.
That’s a MAN wearing a skirt!!!!! He could turn around and grape someone
Women are allowed to go to Planet Fitness. I know several who do.
Since when is it normal to pander to 0.001% of the population! The tail should not be allowed to wag the dog!
Is this video "pandering" this video is an example of the bullying trans face.
@@chicbate "abdul get the rocks"
I've been saying this for months!
They aren’t the tail, they’re a flea on the tail.
Legit should just not even be acknowledged in any serious manner.
The reality of the absurdity that you described should make it clear to average people what ideology our so called leaders subscribe to. Once you understand that, you’re no longer confused about this wag the dog situation.
Just one of the many reasons civilization will come crashing down in a few years.
I was stalked along with many other women at Planet Fitness several years ago when I was only about 18. They didn’t really care and were extremely blasé about the whole thing. It took my friends’ parents who were attorneys writing them letters to finally decide to kick him out. The man was taking pictures of young women, keeping track of their exercises in a notebook, and waiting for them out in the parking lot. It’s ridiculous what women go through just to get a workout in. Took me years to want to go back to the gym.
That's just scary!
As a male , I’m soo sorry you had to go through that . The gym supposed to be a safe place for everyone to work on themselves, I can’t imagine what you went through . I still myself don’t feel safe tho I have made a few friends but I’m also scared of like people recording and all of that .

When did we stop charging men who go in women's restrooms as sexual predators?
It's not a woman's restroom. It's a woman's locker room. That's 10x worse. People are showering and getting dressed in there. In a women's restroom, they can do their business in private in a stall.
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."
Muslims ?
Looks like Candace Owens found that out recently.
@@Video_Crow She was allowed to criticize whomever she wanted until "Catching a murderer" wrapped up on DailyWire+
facts
jews and gays are not allowed to be criticized. you can basically disrespect everyone else..oh i forgot the muslims since its election season and they need votes so. and we wonder why we all have beefs
Glad to see the majority (normal people) starting to give the minority a reality check.
Ya the way things have gone where the minor few odd people can determine things is very strange. Things are hopefully swinging back.
@@devanman7920 I’m on your site , but the reality is, that the agenda will be fulfilled . We live in the end times !
Yes. A tiny minority controlling tech, media, and banking is certainly something to be wary of…
The New York Post wrote an article about this and at the bottom they listed 11 states that didn't participate in the choose your own locker room thing. We were in one of those states and my son had just been hired by PF last week, but had not started his job yet so my husband called our AL location as they were on the "safe" list. Turns out the "safe" list is meaningless. They told him that they will allow the members into what ever gender they put on their application. My son promptly said no thank you to the job offered to him as he has no intention of being part of this.
Give ur son a handshake and say internet salutes you
Thanks you for the important information about the fake safe list. Everyone should cancel no matter the state. So sad.
They claim the picture was NOT in PF locker room, but they revoked her membership for taking a photo in the PF locker room? The math ain't mathin.
CANCELLED! I found a new gym; a better one.
You sure you won't miss those pizza and donut day because seems like those were the only days you were there
I'm noticing a ton of trolls on youtube today. So weird that they have nothing better to do.
That’s cute. I canceled when women were posting fake TikTok videos of men “leering” at them and the gyms took their word over the man’s because of _MeToo._ what comes around goes around ladies
@lawrencetalbot8346 - One of those guys kicked out for "staring" was actually blind too!
@@chingatu6644 You know what's crazy, I have a Black Card Membership and not once have they ever had pizza or donuts at the one I go to.
A man in the women's bathroom is unacceptable. Shaving no less! Glad she made this public.
The woman is Patricia Silva. She's running for office in Fairbanks, Alaska. Tranit Fitness decided to screw the wrong pooch.
@@waynealan3067Never manage a business. It'll go under if that's your decision making process.
facts bro this is disgusting
Why is it bad? Is it because the idea of just anyone seeing them in a state of undress makes most people uncomfortable??
Listen to yourself. PF just confirmed literally anyone can go in and get front row seats to you changing and they wont do a thing about it.
@@waynealan3067
Didn’t women push this sort of thing with the LGBQ community?
"he's a spiritual being having Earthly problems"
I love that and I love her
Hey Brett, I am a huge fan of your channel and love what you’re doing I am actually a Planet Fitness employee I started in January and we were informed of the situation in Alaska but we’re misinformed on what actually happened. We were told that a transgender male to female that had already transitioned was in the locker room changing, and someone took a picture of them in the locker room. They printed out a three page booklet explaining diversity, transgender ism, non-binary all the things, and explaining the difference in each one of them, and how we need to be inclusive, excepting. We are informed that we cannot judge one based off of their biological sex, due to us, being the judgment free zone, but on the next page, explained how we can identify someone by the way, they dress style their hair and carry themselves. When I got hired on in December due to being raised very traditional I asked what their policy was and I was informed that we had to check their drivers license If there was a complaint because after a full transition, you can change the sex on your drivers license, but Lil did I know that that wasn’t actually the policy. I came into work Thursday and had to have a lady who came in to cancel her membership. Explain to me what had happened and then my gay assistant manager explained to me all of this and told me to put on the note for cancellation disagree with judgment free policy. If I have a way to contact you or email, I could send pictures of the actual booklet to you.
This situation is absolutely ridiculous and the fact is that I might lose my job by voicing my opinion. But I’d rather not support it anyway.

Getter a better job man, you will never be happy at such a screwed up company.
Planning on it
I pray that you will find a job that aligns with your values and has a better management compared to what you currently have.. 🍀✨
Ladies and gentlemen, if you have a Planet Fitness membership and haven’t done so already, drop it! There are other, better gyms out there that we can give our money to.
Planet Fitness is crap to start with.
I never understood the appeal of planet fitness IMO🤷♂️🤷♂️
What other gyms are there to go to that are as cheap as $10?
A planet fitness just opened in my area. Honestly the only one worth joining.
Community gym is better anyways
Planet Fitness is also saying the picture is a fake and not even taken in their facility.
If that's the case, why was her membership cancelled for taking a picture in their locker room?
Good question!
Definitely a PF restroom. Those mirrors are the new design.
As for the picture, I thinks it's actually illegal to record video or take pictures inside restrooms and baths in relation to personal privacy stuff.
Like you don't want someone taking video of their competition "posing" and someone be baked in the background. It's like indirect porn.
@@JohnnyLittleRiver You are most likely correct.
However I not questioning whether it's legal or not (I hope it's not for obvious reasons) but the fact they are trying to get out from under the situation by claiming it's not them when all evidence suggests otherwise.
ooh, boom. You nailed that.
Let's be clear about one thing I heard a woman say in this video. She said PF was prioritizing Men over Women. PF is not prioritizing Men over Women, they are prioritizing Trans over everyone. Why is it that people who make up a tiny fraction of the population have MORE rights than the rest of us? I quite PF two years ago because of their idiotic policies.
It reminds me of I video saw yesterday about a woman dealing with squatters. She successfully got rid of two who were arrested, then a third asshole showed up claiming he had a lease (but didn’t) and since she changed the locks she got arrested. Him LYING about having a lease is enough to get her arrested and get it treated as a “tenant and landlord issue” when he was never even a tenant. He was the criminal but the law protected HIM instead of the lady getting her house and furniture stolen. And he had the never to act indignant on the news talking about “there are laws”
I find this gym crazy…. They have a button that sets off a siren if someone is grunting too loudly. Yet, they promote being non judgmental or inclusive
lmao it doesn’t go off for grunting, it goes off for loud slams and i’ve never seen it go off, im pretty sure it’s off.
@@gusmomentbro read what the lunk alarm says under it one of the things it says is if “you grunt too loudly”
I always thought they were super hypocritical for this, however. I workout there and have for a long time and I’ve never heard the alarm go off and I’ve seen plenty of lunks lol.
Pf employees have admitted it’s not automatic, the employees choose when they deem it appropriate to lunk-alarm someone, and press the alarm button at the front desk. So if you aren’t loud enough to get their attention you’re likely fine
Its meant for novelty@@GregTurismo
I miss the times where the guilty persons go to jail and unguilty people are free
I mean... video and photography in a changing room is an invasion of privacy. She didn't do things the right way tbh. She should have went about this differently. I agree with you. I think that he should be punished and not her, but she did break the contract with that picture so there was a punishment for that. She should have just gone to the management and recorded that interaction and been like "this is what I saw." That would have been more damaging to the company I think and she could have kept her membership if she wanted it
@@hungerbunger5985she did exactly the right thing because the picture was proof for the world to see and then cancel their membership to this awful place
@@hungerbunger5985 when a law is being broken, who cares about the individual’s privacy. It was not HIS space. He was invading the women’s bathroom for self gratification purposes. The pervert should go to jail and planet fitness can go bankrupt for protecting the pedophile
In Oregon there is a Planet Fitness who has a male worker, who is trans who regularly goes into the womans locker room. I submitted a poor review since there was no sign outside of the locker room stating there's a male in there cleaning. The manager responded to my complaint through email and told me "There does not need to be a sign saying there is a male in the women’s locker room because transgender women are women. Hope this clears things up."
I cancelled my membership as a result.
BRET IVE WANTED TO RAISE
AWARENESS OF THIS FOR A WHILE!! I had an experience like this just a bit ago, I am a 15 year old freshman in Highschool and I am in color guard (if you don't know already color guard is a very liberal sport and i feel violated quite often) | love guard it's a great way for me to preform and exercise but i am often left uncomfortable in situations to make others comfortable one specific time was at a competition I (a woman) was changing in an all women locker room keep in mind i was in a HIGH SCHOOL as i was half dressed and putting on my costume a man (identifying female) walked in with a large group of girls from another school he just started changing with us and no one else seemed to mind! I couldn't tell my coaches, teammates, or any "trusted adults" because i felt violated and i knew the reaction to speaking out could lead to being kicked off my team I now regret not saying anything and if it happens again i will.
Keep in mind this isn't the first time this has happened at competitions and this behavior is not ok especially at a school where i should be able to trust my safety but i guess in today's society i shouldn't have trusted that ever (I know i commented on your you tube short too but i really want this to be seen because this isn’t just put in the world it’s reached our educational system too)
I'm so sorry this happened to you, especially at school! I encourage you stand up to this nonsense in the future. I know it can be nerve-wracking, but speaking up could hopefully help all the girls that will eventually be in that locker room.
Jw, what do you mea by color guard is a liberal sport?
@@spacecowboy1474 thank you so much! I just mean that most of the athletes and coaches have much more liberal values and tend to disagree with me not that I share my opinions at practice or competitions but I have been met with hate for being religious and being one of the few members who does not have same sex attraction and has not gone through gender affirming care I do not hate on anyone for what they believe and I love every member of my team no matter their current circumstances it is just hard to find that respect in return from some of the members
There should be laws in place to protect females from this type of interaction. Whole school districts need class action lawsuits filed by parents to put a stop to it.
Your safety is a higher priority than anyone's feelings. Until there's surgery to remove a particular body part, none of them are "trans" and are still male capable of rape.
I was a planet fitness member because of price. As a broke american i would rather pay an extra $20-$40 a month for a gym that would never allow this. I have 4 young daughters and would be OUTRAGED if this happened to them. I have since cancelled my membership and will find something else in the budget to cut out to be at a gym that respects women.
Great dad! Your daughters and otehr women thank you for your stance on this issue. I hope you find a great gym soon.
i recommend grabbing a few friends and getting a family plan at the y literally the best decision me and my girlies did.
My husband works out in the garage and he is fit. He just has that thing for hitting and some weights. I work out indoors with UA-cam videos or go on brisk walks.
YMCA
It's s FAMILY friendly gym folks. No OF women or trans policies
I am a 32yr old male, i went to a high school event for my wife's brother. The restrooms were male and gender neutral, no women's. Grown man like me have the accessibility to go into girls restrooms with underage girls and nobody would say anything. Is scary because i have a daughter and i dont want this to be normal for her.
Agreed! 34 and have an 8 year old daughter. No way would I want any full grown man in the restroom with her that’s not me.
Thing that gets me is when you debate with someone why bathrooms should be separated by biological gender they always make the same arguments. They always say “well it’s not affecting you” or like one person said to me “show me the data that it causes harm to others”. People like this equate keeping bathrooms separated by biological gender as “taking their expression away”. It s a bathroom/locker room, it’s meant for pissing, shitting, washing hands, changing and showering. Go express yourself somewhere else.
I don’t need data or studies to know that grown men don’t belong in women’s restrooms
@@zac2112 The data is out there though, if you do a little research you will have something to say the next time they challenge you like that. I suggest you start by googling Loudoun Country, Virginia. Then look into what has already happened in countries that allow men in women's prisons.
I agree …
WTF! No women?! And they say they're not trying to erase women...
Weird. If they only got two spaces it should be female and gender neutral, I'd think. Men don't care who's in their space and women SHOULD care who's in theirs.
I have to shout out your editor-- the hey bob clip was FANTASTIC! The context fit amazingly. I’m still laughing.
Thank you Patricia for your courage and integrity! The timing (for me) couldn't be better as I was planning on checking out the new Planet Fitness, but now I don't have to waste my time! I hope every Planet Fitness member quits as PF needs to go belly up! Thank you Brett Cooper, you are a beautiful young woman who doesn't sexualize herself for views, I appreciate your integrity!
Had this happened in Tukwila. A great City JUST on Seattle outskirts. My 10y/o was changing after swim practice and we noticed a man changing and talking on a phone in the room. We politely informed the front desks and quickly left. The next day there were signs on all entries stating any male over the age of five MUST use men’s room. There are two family rooms for those who which to use them. HANDS UP to the Tukwila pool! TUKWILA POOL!!!
I was met with pitchforks from friends when I shared about my encounter with a transgender entering a mall’s female restroom and verbally threatening us women who were already in there. This was 4 years ago but the backlash and the trauma I experience still haunts me to this day (and some malls still allow this to happen).
I’m glad people cancelled their memberships and PF over this, more and more people should fight over our right to safely practice and LIVE as real women.
I feel ya! I encountered a fully male-presenting man come into the women's bathroom in college TWICE. I gave them both looks of disgust, I'm surprised I didn't get expelled for just that. There were also multiple hallways where there was a male bathroom and a female bathroom with a sign taped on the door that said "gender inclusive bathroom". This has been an attack on women from the start.
I am so sorry that you were treated like that.
They’re not your friends then, real friends don’t do that.
Okay? I mean sorry it traumatized you but harassment is still illegal. You coulda called someone on them. Them being trans isn't really the issue though is it, it's the fact they harassed you. I've been harassed by men in the men's room. People can be jerks, not unique to trans ppl
it's not about real trans people (normal people with gender dysphoria). It's men that claim to be trans in order to get into women's spaces that are the problem. People who take bein any part of "gender-non-conforming" as an excuse to harass anyone and get away with it. If a real man harasses a woman, he will get backlash. If a "trans-woman" harasses a woman, no one dares to say a thing. They know and use that. @@Fennerrex
Time to Bud Light Planet Fitness.
What's that referring to?
The fact that this happened in Alaska is wild. I’m from Alaska and most people here are very much old fashion and republican. The fact that this man did in a state like this goes to show he knew he would be protected…
This just confirms that doing at home workouts is still the best option for me.
Seriously, as a man, it’s really embarrassing seeing other men approaching random women at the gym. It’s gross and invasive. To me, the gym just isn’t a “sexy” place. Someone who finds arousal at the gym has something missing from their mental health.
@@thisguy2973 she isnt going to fuck u
@@thisguy2973don’t know if you can put “as a man” with that comment 😂
Yep, same.
Why cant they give trans people their own spaces. Its not transphobic to do or say that. Give them their own sports divisions, give them their own locker rooms, give them their own bathrooms. Its not super hard to understand🙄.
If I understand it correctly, trans community members are entitled to be themselves and the rest of us must:
- QUIETLY notice and accommodate their choice,
- NOT provide a solution that accommodates ALL of society because that would be conceived as bullying the trans community by making their choices obvious to all.
So ... notice but don't notice.
UA-cam, before you delete this message, take a moment to realize that I'm not bullying. Open your eyes for once, stop being a Planet Fitness.
Or go in the appropriate bathroom based on what's between your legs. Not that hard, either. Well, apparently, in 2024, it is 😂
No. Don’t give them anything. Give an inch, take a mile.
Because it doesn't suit the left.
Places tried this years ago with trans bathrooms, they refused to use it and demanded to use the bathrooms they wanted.
I don’t know that they don’t care about women, but I can say they don’t care about their safety. Letting a man (and that was what he was) into the woman’s locker room is dangerous.
I was at the Y in Jacksonville, Florida in 2018.There was a grown man walking around in the ladies.Restroom with small children were changing for swim practice.I went up to the front desk and complained and was told if I felt uncomfortable to use the individual bathrooms.This has been happening for a while
As someone that used to work for and still work out at my local Crunch Fitness location, I was SO thankful that we had policies for our branch in place for that kind of situation. Regardless of what our members "identified" as, we enforced that they use the restroom that aligned with their biological gender. That, AND, we could not sell a membership to a child without a parent present and they had to be at least 15 and have the parent present while signing the documents. I trust Crunch and I trust my location's managing partner to protect me.
My local Crunch also banned recording in the gym. While I'm ok with that, I feel bad for people who want to record their lifts and check their form, though. I quit during covid then rejoined after that nonsense was over.
@@AB-py6jl my location still allows recording, but they have banned photos in the locker rooms. Unfortunately, almost no one follows that rule unless there's a staff member in there. It makes complete sense because the showers are very open only with a single wall separating them from the rest of the restroom, but people want their progress photos. 🤷♀️
@@eyes_espresso4803 yeah the Gen z kids are obsessed with their damn photos. I might start calling it out more
Great policies! I heard great things about Crunch Fitness! I hope a branch opens near me.
@@kokocute123 I like mine. lots of space to do whatever you want. And plenty of free weights, which was most important to me.

@@prestonmiles1092 That's what you'd like to think isn't it, to make yourself feel better. Your comment makes you sound absolutely ridiculous. I'd say at least half of us against men in women's locker rooms are liberals. I'm a liberal democrat, and have always (and will always) respect and support the trans community. But as a biological woman, it will NEVER be acceptable for a biological male to use the same bathroom, locker room or dressing room as me UNLESS he is fully transitioned and has put forth the effort for the "female gender" surgeries and presents himself 24/7 as a woman.
@@prestonmiles1092 If the dude wasn't self associating himself as a trans-woman, then you'd think it was perfectly okay to take a photo in order to protect yourself and report him. He clearly presented himself entirely as a cis-white-man. Your comment makes you look extremely ignorant and stupid. Women aren't having it, ...and the only "Karen" here is you.
well, I had a trans guy expose himself to me in planet fitness locker room in 2018. I was friends with the manager who was a strong conservative and he said there was nothing he could do. His hands were tied. The guy had done it to 2 other women I was the third…Fun times…
As soon as this video was over an ad for planet fitness popped up how crazy is that i wouldnt even think about getting a membership for that place
Said elsewhere: A few years ago, I was shopping for a gym and I walked into a Planet Fitness. I saw all the machines, the purple/ yellow color scheme, and the signs about the 'lunk' alarm. I asked about billing and was told that I had to provide my checking account number. I offered a card number for the additional protections, and they said no. So I found another gym. So this little boycott couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of lunkheads.
They make you cancel in person. You cannot cancel online or over the phone
@@DougBurgum4VP I can pre-cancel by not taking out a membership.
But on the off-chance that I did have a membership, I could apprise my banking institution of the situation and instruct them not to honor any bills submitted.
The bank has more interest in retaining my business than Planet Twitness.
It depends on the franchise owners like most places in most businesses hq tells them to do a trendy corporate meta its unprofitable and evil against the spirt of capitalism its corporatism. The further away from hq the more you avoid listen to hq and run a profitable business while meeting the concerns of the community in a loving profitable way as long as someone doesn't narc or run their mouths online. Planet fitness is good for 24/7 on the road showers, cheap tanning and quick cardio it's likely the good ones will become different gyms and attract all the good employees with it eating all the sales in the future happens to lots of different franchise businesses. Planet fitness brand is worthless if not negative the stores and employees make up all its value most of them are by the book which is memed as the worst gym membership to have.
@@DougBurgum4VPpro tip: get the app, change your address to somewhere in CA and make your home gym a CA location. Boom, you can now cancel online. It's a law in California that subscription based services like gyms have to allow members to cancel online. I used this method to cancel my Planet Fitness membership. Super easy.
@@Wichitan they will go right after your credit score for breach of contract. stay away from pizza planet
My hubby cancelled his planet fitness six months ago and recently was going to re-sign up now that his schedule allowed time. Whelp, guess he'll be going to another gym.
If you want my opinion if you have a community center near you you can join their gym im planing to go once i have cash to do so
I work for 24 hour fitness as a manager. This happens all the time. We have a guy who says he’s a woman and showers in his boxers. As employees we just have to say they can go in the women’s. It’s so wrong and makes everyone uncomfortable. It’s not safe for women in bathrooms with guys in there.
Love your videos, this situation reminds me of a south park episode
Time to BOYCOTT Planit Fitness guys.
It's unfortunate when feelings of safety and comfort in private spaces are overlooked. I agree that these policies should prioritize protecting the privacy and rights of all members, not just some.
Love the tsunami clip at the Intro😂😂😂😂
Hey Brett! My name is jovie Demlow! And I me and my family live in Fairbanks Alaska🙂 and my oldest sister told me about this and I think it’s amazing you did and episode about this Love you❤
What’s the point of having separate rooms for men and women if men can just go into women’s rooms where women and girls Undress and Shower??!
Despite the market went down for them, another video I saw mentioned that they’re slowly creeping back up. I’ve never had a membership so I can’t cancel because I exercise at home. So I’m just liking the videos that expose this issue to help support how I can.
they're going back up -- bullshit. people are going to learn the hard way when they see a naked 50-year old man walking in women's bathroom wearing a bikini
check yourself dear. these aren't MEN. We do not claim them. I've seen "women" in men's rooms and no one wants to see grandma leatherskin parading in front of little boys either. If you have a set for both rooms the disabled washroom is always empty imo.
An article I read about this incident stated that Patricia's membership was terminated because she violated their policy against taking photos in public restrooms. Now that representative is telling people the photo was fake, so how does that add up? If it's a fake photo then how can they terminate the membership, since the policy would not have been violated, right?
Smart
I’m very impressed by the professionalism, confidence, and a signature style of delivery that is usually not seen in someone so young- the future is bright for you.
If I didn’t see this I wouldn’t have known! I survived SA and I don’t even get male doctors now let alone where I have to shower and go change for the gym !!
Jus† recently left Planet Fitness myself, I noticed they hired a trans employee. I could forsee him being the one to clean the bathroom and decided I did not want to be there when that happened. Go Patricia for standing up for women, I want to be like you when I grow up!
As far as I'm aware they wouldn't hesitate to have any other man clean the women's locker room either. God knows I've cleaned my share of women's restrooms as a man.
as a woman i’m fine with a man cleaning the locker rooms and bathrooms just as long as the facility is completed closed and there is absolutely no one in there
@@idioticbagel2833 Most places I've been they clear everyone out while it's being cleaned regardless of if the facility is closed or not. Walmart when it was open 24 hours, gas stations, college dorms, etc. So "no one in there" and "facility closed" are not the same thing.
I worked at Planet Fitness before I knew how backwards they were. I got an entry level position, cleaning and helping at the front desk. While applying, I let them know of my hearing disability. With the phones they used, it was going to be difficult for me to hear. Talking in person was no problem. They said no big deal, they can work around it. I worked there for two weeks. New management came in and I was fired. Almost immediately. Why? Because of my disability.... that only impacted one aspect of a job that has numerous responsibilities. How's that for being inclusive? They focus on inclusivity by excluding people like me. I should have sued, but I had to spare myself the inevitable headache on top of me being very upset with them.
Wouldn't that be discrimination simple to straighten out in court in the USA.
that's a lawsuit payout sir. a lawyer will take that on for free and get paid out of the "winnings"
already avoided that place like the plague, i like not worrying about being kicked out if i accidentally drop a weight or grunt during a hard set
You are absolutely correct to be appalled by Planet Fitness'es policy. However, I seem to remember women reporters demanding to be let into sports locker rooms where men were showering. Never thought that was right.
Its really creepy when you are a woman in a bathroom and suddenly a man walks up behind you. I had this happen once in a public restroom. The guy walked up behind me while I was washing my hands. He then rudely reached right across over my sink where I was washing my hands to get soap because his was out. Talk about invasion of personal space on top of the shock of seeing a man being in there to begin with.
That's a paraphilia he's acting on. No healthy man wants to make a woman feel intimidated . Suspect any man that pushes in like that.
For me, the bare minimum should be an honest discussion. Before indoor plumbing, people likely had to be faster and looser with bathing in the river or a tub in the yard or whatever. But in places where public toilets aren't really a thing, it can enable predatory behavior. It's not an abstract concept - it still applies in parts of the world. An honest discussion would talk about why women might feel vulnerable. Calling women bigots and moving on seems wilfully ignorant about history or psychology or society being a compromise people can live with. An indicator of this is people who insist "No one will ever take advantage of this" versus "Some people are definitely going to take advantage of this, but we think it's the moral thing to do anyway.".
For me, it seems unsurprising for a woman to see a male bone structure and be anxious. If it's involuntary or baked into the human animal, then reacting by yelling at women that they're bigots seems deranged.
As a guy my experience has been the opposite, walking into men's room and having a trans woman doing her makeup in the mirror. This particular trans woman 1) knew she didn't pass for a woman very well and 2) respected other women enough to use the men's room rather than making real women uncomfortable. And this was at 6 in the morning in a Walmart, when the women's room was almost certainly empty anyway.
Trans people - trans women specifically - have on the whole adopted the attitude that their comfort is more important than anyone else's, when men are raised from birth to believe the opposite.
@@willythemailboy2Exactly, it’s because they think they’re women and that women get special privileges that they can do it. Men could never, we’re self aware
Had two men follow me into a bathroom and so I ran out to tell a manager just be to be told there’s men’s and everyone else bathrooms???? Wtf. It feels like the twilight zone with how women are being treated. It’s insane.
All around American gyms, there are policies that align with Planet Fitness. For example: EOS in AZ states under Gender Policy: “While we will continue to maintain separate facilities for male and female Members, transgender Members and Team Members are permitted to use the facilities that align with the gender they identify with. There is no medical or mental health diagnosis or treatment threshold that a Member or Team Member must meet in order to have their gender identity recognized and respected.”
All gyms in the USA should ban this from happening. If a persons feels like something else, they can use the family restroom to have their personal needs met. This should never be allowed, ever!
Exactly. People are acting like this is a planet fitness thing when really it’s almost every gym.
Disgusting.
@@codycast it’s time to demand change.
yk back in the day they had seperate bathrooms for black people they absolutely can make more bathrooms specifically for the confused ppl
@@idioticbagel2833 I mean if you want to be a mermaid one day and then change your mind and want to be a goldfish the next, use the family restroom available at the gym. It’s ridiculous.
@@familyunity70 you can demand it all you want but at some point the mind virus spread so far so deep you’re basically having to boycott everything
a similar incident happened at a local gym in my city up here in Canada sometime last year and same situation and response from the gym corporation, they sided they the "guy" that was in the woman's change room, crazy
That tsunami clip is genius and funny as hell 🤣
The time for a nationwide corporate boycott is long overdue. 🤦🏻♂️
CANCELED planet fitness yesterday. Going to EõS now. Gym manager told me dozens of people at that location have Canceled their memberships stating THIS situation as the reason.
PROTECT WOMEN AND LITTLE GIRLS! (13yo's can attend planet without an adult present. Just FYI)
Direct quote from the EoS website on their gender policy: "Members, transgender Members and Team Members are permitted to use the facilities that align with the gender they identify with. There is no medical or mental health diagnosis or treatment threshold that a Member or Team Member must meet in order to have their gender identity recognized and respected." No gym, except maybe a small local one, will have a policy that explicitly states no trans in the women's locker room. There really is nowhere to go any more.
@@vinnieboombatzmd3508 mmmm.... interesting. Well let's see how long that takes to change when planet loses more and more money. This is beyond ridiculous. 🙄
My friend and I canceled our membership in Geneva Illinois
this reminds me of my old high school, after i left it is now co-ed. Crazy time we live in
When I cancelled my membership, they didn’t ask why. I just got to cancel. Problem solved!
I've had.occasional memberships that I supposedly couldn't cancel. Last one, I cancelled the card I used and closed the bank account. They threatened to sue. I said go ahead. Never heard from them again.
I cancelled mine with PF close to a decade ago. I had to cancel three times before it would actually cancel. I don’t remember if I got that money back.
I walked into my PF to cancel my membership. They didn't ask why. The guy DID comment on how long it had been since I had scanned in at the location. (Shaming?) Luckily, I found a rec center closer to home that I have been using....that has dedicated male and female spaces.
They didn't ask me why either. You do get a follow up email that has a comment form you can submit though. That's what I did.
Everyone needs to help PF go out of business! There are so many good gyms out there who care about 99.8% of the population. I would never go to that Nazi hole!
If they insist that the photo is not in a Planet Fitness bathroom, then they have no basis for kicking her out. That could be a basis for a lawsuit. (Given the legal situation these days, it is doubtful suing over the cancelled membership would be successful otherwise.) Let them be hoist on their own petard.
I was considering a membership since I’ve been getting bored of my room for workouts lol, but that definitely is an unsafe situation. Nevermind!
My husband and I cancelled our plant fitness on Friday
My blood boils hot every time I hear of these incidents. When I was 14 years old and in my final year of middle school, I was attending an after-school program at a community center and a guy in my grade who had already been bullying me before starting the 6th grade went into the girls bathroom. You heard right, folks. What happened was we were done with group activities and dinner was about to start. We went to wash our hands before dinner as it was a rule for everyone to wash before we got our food. I was washing my hands with two other girls, both of whom in the 7th grade and the guy went into the girl's bathroom LIKE NOTHING. He got between the two girls to wash and they didn't scream or whatever but me, I wasn't having none of that shit so I was yelling "GET OUT!" like about a few times and he left.
I told my parents and they were fucking mad. The adults in that program didn't kick him out for that shit and mind you, he was already causing me problems prior to the bathroom incident. When I was 12, he would always tell me I was ugly and nobody liked me. He'd even threaten to hurt me. By the time 7th grade rolled around, he was still the same and he still bullied me. In 5th period, he once asked if I was a virgin and a female classmate said to him not to ask me questions like that. I told my parents and they were angry and my dad emailed my teacher.
He was in that after-school program and he gave me trouble like usual. I did not want him near me especially after that question he asked. I told the lady in charge of that program I did not want him near me due to everything but no, she told me I needed to stop holding a grudge. She had the audacity to blame me when I was the one getting harassed especially as it happened before. She did not help me whatsoever especially in my final year in middle school with the bathroom incident. She gaslit me and even gaslit my mom. I kept everything to myself for years because of that lady telling me I was basically the problem and was forced to be around him. I would even threaten to leave the program because of him and she would beg me not to.
Just think about what would happen if he had went into the girls bathroom during the year 2024 and I said something about it. I would be called a transphobe, a bigot, a hater and even a bully. Any name in the book you can think of. I hadn't seen him since the end of freshmen year of highschool and he did not give me trouble that year but still, I felt her victim blaming influence over me and I couldn't tell anyone about what he did in middle school.
I’m sorry you went through that.
My daughter had a similar situation with a guy bullying her in high school band, and they spend a lot of time with each other. The school was useless even though this kids caused trouble in every class he was in. Then the new band director had the gall to tell my daughter that she was the problem and she should just give in to his wishes (touchy stuff). Fortunately she had parents who would not be gaslit. Stay strong and stand up for yourself!
@@mesamom62 I’m really sorry that happened too. I hope y’all are all right!
That guy was messed up to do that
@@mysteryheart53 He really was.
So this is the way to get out of your planet fitness membership!!! Thank you Patricia! She is a hero, plain and simple! Planet fitness is going to bud light themselves
Keep up the great work bring to our attention the extreme CRAZINESS that is going on in our SICK world
My boyfriend and I just moved and the house we live in is right across the street from a little home town gym where men are still men and women are still women. It’s really not that hard planet fitness
I work as a lifeguard/swimming instructor and where im employed, all locations have a “special” changeroom. It can be used by families with children who need help, people with disabilities who need extra assistance changing, or any individual who does not wish to use the regular changeroom. We do not ask questions. We just give people the key if they ask. Anyways i think that would be a great edition to more places because that way it truly is inclusive without putting ANYONE in danger or discriminating because it can be used by anyone who requests it
That's the thing though, these dudes don't want to use a private restroom. They want to deliberately invade women's spaces because they get off on it.
@@bighomiestevethemetalhead8131 i get that however it makes it a lot easier to distinguish between that and an actual person with gender dysmorphia. If its rather mens or womens changeroom and spaces, they can excuse it much easier. They can say, well i dont identify as a man. When theres a private space it adds a lot more pressure for them to not be a creep because it highlights the fact they are being a creep. If they say “well i dont identify as a man” people can reply with “this room can be used by any and all genders” which is much harder to argue against in this society
in my area family change rooms are used for other activities then changing and the parents get to stand in the hall waiting. the staff is mostly young females so they just go red when you tell them and they mumble about reporting it and nothing ever gets done.
There is a funny cartoon. Where the man comes into the locker room and says to the woman.It's transphobic to stop undressing
@@rhetorical1488 you need to get a key from the front desk at our facilities so it has not been used for “other activities” thankfully
I have been in multiple planet fitness locations from Florida to Southern California and states in between. That bathroom looks exactly like every planet fitness bathroom I have ever used
There is a story with the Alaska club doing the same thing.
My in-laws live in the US and my Mil and sister-in-law used to have Planet Fitness memberships in Georgia and they both were treated terrible when they complained about how they didn't want to share a bathroom with biological males. And my SIL made a complaint about two trans women wearing inappropriate outfits and what she thought they were purposely showing their male genitals to the women in the gym multiple times. For instance how they were not on certain workout equipment that you lie down on to use, while wearing very lose short shorts (they were not even wearing underwear) until young women would be on equipment opposite of those pieces of equipment. When they complained they were basically told to not be transphobic.
I cancelled yesterday.
The thing about this, this is an advertisement for perverts to creep in the womens locker room. If something happens, I hope this company is held accountable for aiding and abetting this behavior. If I were a woman, I would steer clear of this place, yikes, what a dumb ass company.
And PF likely has women on its board. What are they saying about this?
I have had so many PF ads in the last 24 hours on UA-cam
I couldn’t agree more, all of these enhance our mental and spiritual health which does wonders for our physical health. I’m doing my best to put my phone away, be more connected to nature, spend quality time with friends and family, and lead by example for my 3 young daughters. Wise words here!
These are not completely public business -- they are "memberships". So if they wanted to operate a general use facility plus one dedicated to protected spaces for women, they can easily do that. Whether they are ball-less, or too cheap, or just plain stupid, it is completely unacceptable. Our daughters, granddaughters, and our sisters, mothers, and our wives all deserve places they can feel safe -- because what percentage of women have experienced some type of "problematic" behaviour. Shame on you Planet Fitness. Just like Target, nobody needs to visit your businesses ever again.
This is at least the second time something like this has happened recently at that gym. The other lady got berated on the fairbanks Facebook page for being a bigot and then canceled.
Cancelled my membership yesterday!! 🎉 I was considering it for a while now, but this made me go ahead and do it. It always smells like weed in there (from the members AND employees), the people in there are always wearing pajamas and being loud, extremely crowded, and people just hang around in the parking lots blaring music from their crappy project cars. Planet Fitness is ghetto.
It's been a long time since I was in high school, but there was an incident of a young man who went into the girls' locker room and was expelled from school. He didn't make it far enough to see anything before a teacher caught him. We need some old school common sense again.
They didn’t even ask for a reason when I cancelled my membership lol
Planet Fitness getting the budlight treatment
What I’m hearing is now is the time to buy into PF and wait til it rises back up 😂
I cancelled mine twice. First time was because I wasn't sure there'd be one near my new work place. Second time was I couldn't afford it, and I also soon left for another work location. I haven't looked back since, and this just gave another reason not to.
I'm headed in right now to cancel mine. I have a treadmill at home and no men in my bathroom. I can't wait to see if they ask me why.
Keep us posted
I did it! They didn't ask me why though but still, I'm done. My dog and I will walk around here and I'll hit the treadmill more at home. It's just not worth it. I'm not paying a corporation that isn't interested in keeping it safe for women and girls.
@@darcyjo6832 👍
@@darcyjo6832I’m glad ! Stay safe
I”ve had it too 😡😡😡 Sssso sick of this insanity. Seriously!!!
At some point in the near future, I was thinking about getting a gym membership, but after watching this, I won't ever consider Planet Fitness among my list of options. Thank you for informing us on this. I will now be asking each gym I consider on what their bathroom policies are, & if they have any "all inclusive" bathrooms separate from the gender-spacific bathrooms, so that the Trans community can still have their bathroom, while us women can still feel safe in our own bathroom.
Insanity! Protecting our children & respect for actual "Chromosomal" actual women is FAR more important than the gender confusion of Adult biological men. They can deal with their shit in their own time, not in front of young girls or women.
Canceled my membership - it was much easier than I thought. 😊
I've never cancelled a gym membership so fast in my life
Okay I used to work for planet fitness and I did also witness a man going into the women’s locker room. That’s why I stopped working there. However as a former worker when cancelling a membership you physically cannot type something out for the reason of cancellation they just have different reasons such as time issue or competitor and you have to select one.
I’m glad I found this Video!
I just returned to the USA from an overseas work assignment.
I was going to join PF this week. No More TranITFitness for me.
I couldn't believe the amount of people defending the trans in Philip Defranco's comments.... so disgusting. He's turned so left it's actually scary & repulsive.
Hi Brett I was in the bathroom at planet fitness and there was a man on the locker room who was not a worker. I said to myself this makes me feel like Riley gains. I almost went out and reported this but I felt like I was going to end up in trouble. Next time this happens and it will I will report it.
Have you canceled your membership?
I was in my gym once after my shower i come out to see a male cleaner in the woman’s change room. I always change in the shower but i know many change in the open part of the change room. When i went to the front desk and let them know they should either get a woman cleaner or announce that a man will be cleaning the room and give a time to leave, the woman at the desk told me ‘ what do you expect me to do? Go in and clean the toilet myself, thats not my job” i was shocked at her attitude 😮💨 i let her know young woman change in there and often woman are not clothed in the main section . I honestly dont think she cared at all
Man I just got to work out at planet fitness not that long ago I never thought that it was going to turn out this way I need to start going to planet fitness more.
