Planet Fitness's, The Judgment Free Zone
As the most innovative health club brand in the United States, Planet Fitness is known for a lot of things – our absurdly low prices, our Lunk™ Alarm, and most of all perhaps, for our Judgment Free Zone® philosophy, which means members can relax, get in shape, and have fun without being subjected to the hard-core, look-at-me attitude that exists in too many gyms.
Read their mission statement HERE.
Explore their site and post to comments what you think about their judgment free zone, their Lunk Alarm, and their overall philosophy.
Isn't there a Youtube clip showing the gym manager of a Planet Fitness kicking a guy out for making a little noise while doing squats?

19-18-18-19-19. Pretty consistent across the board, the last couple 19s might have been generous as I was crossing just as Amanda was saying 19. Legs started getting pretty heavy. I was terrible out of the turns!
Good work 5AMers!
Planet Fitness: Never have been to this place, from the looks of it I don't ever want to. Seems like they discourage hard work when they are outlawing making any sort of noise. If people doing all they're sissy cardio work on treadmills and ellipticals don't like to watch/listen to people moving some weight around go run outside! Sadly it seems as more and more commercial gyms are going toward this way.
*a 'Judgement Free Zone® where a lasting, active lifestyle can be built.'
*'members can relax, get in shape, and have fun without being subjected to the hard-core, look-at-me attitude that exists in too many gyms.'
Depending on your definition of "hard-core," and if you ignore their grossly misguided take on actual fitness and training, I'd say that's pretty much what we do. That being said, there is an alarming amount of hypocrisy in claiming a 'Judgment Free Zone,' and then setting off an alarm and publicly kicking people out when they manage to actually train.
Frustrating morning for deadlifts... 2RM = 250. I couldn't pick up 264 even once. Back was tight, I'm weak in the morning, blah blah blah. It was a struggle to not let it get to me, but some days you have it and some days you don't. Add learning to accept that to my list of goals.
Football Gone Bad went a little better - didn't push myself very hard, especially on the thrusters. Went more for consistency across the rounds, and saving what little lower back health I have today. 309

Good work today by everyone!
I need to put some thought into specific goals for upcoming year. I do want to be able to do muscle ups and strict HSPU's which would require me to actually work on them.......funny how that works that way. Using Thursday rest days to do that sounds like a good idea.
I will probably do upcoming nutrition challenge simply because it forces me to be accountable. Without logging my intake, I'm much looser with what I take in. I always keep my protein intake and veggies intake high, but I'm guessing my fruit intake (carbs) is higher than it should be and my love affair with red wine could be tamed a bit.
Football Gone Bad was pretty cool. Thrusters killed me. Total reps today, 259. Once again, the rest of you guys doing the Games preps, I am in awe...
The types of gyms such as "Planet Fitness" make me sick. But the sad part is, most of the people (members) don't know how much better it can be! One of worst aspects of their website is seeing the pictures of the gyms. Literally jam-packed full of treadmills and other lame equipment. As for the "Lunk Alarm" and "Judgement Free Zone", that just sounds like BS. Check out their "Lunk" T-Shirt...

this was awful. way too much rest. i had no breath at all. i guess that's to be expected after 4 days off at Christmas.
Hanging out at my parents' today, and their computer is ... unpredictable at best. It must have double-sent.
Times: 18s/19s/20s/20s/20s
As for Planet Fitness:
My viewpoint is two-fold. First, I can't stand places like Planet Fitness, because in reality, they only care about getting you in the door to sign up. They have no real need of actual fitness, they want you on the treadmill watching CNN. They make hypocrites of themselves by claiming a "Judgement Free Zone", then judging folks who lift freeweights, and/or sweat, grunt, *insert something clever here*. I have personally been asked to "keep it down" insided a Powerhouse Gym, I can't imagine the Nazi tactics they use to get people to leave at Planet Fitness.
On the other hand: I see their niche' in the market, and I can see why certain folks would be attracted to places like that. I have friends who would rather get on the treadmill or exercise bike and then leave, than to use their time more productively. They're not bad, just unmotivated to strive for more. As for the "Lunk" alarms... good thing we have CFO. :-)

I did todays games WOD
DL 2RM stayed at 330 (boo) focused on my back staying flat!
Football gone bad total 409
There is a special one-day-only class time at 6am tomorrow (Wednesday) for Greg Mo's last class, with an increased limit of 30 people. I have added all of those currently scheduled for the regular 6am and those that were on the waitlist.
I appreciate all the warm sentiments, I'm going to miss CFO and all of you more than you'll ever know!!!
I believe if people are truly dedicated to getting healthy beyond making a failed New Year’s resolution they will find that going to the Planet Fitness every day boring and eventually leave (like I did with 24 hour fitness). But those that are not truly interested in getting healthy will probably just leave.
Now kicking someone out of your gym because they make too much noise is just plain silly and poor business tactics. This is some sort of reverse discrimination. Some people are just vocal err, I mean expressive. I mean when I run I am expressive (winded but expressive). But really if you really are an expressive person when working out (meaning you are putting some effort into your workout) is Planet Fitness really for you anyway?
1. HSPUs
2. Muscle Ups (with a turn out and consecutive reps)

3. 10 super strict muscle ups with turnout before the start and external rotation to 11 and 1 o'clock at the top of the dip - Not timed
4X5 HSPUs - Backward facing the wall - NO KIP
