Planet Fitness Screwed Me

[BlastBeats]

Something similar happened to me. I was working out at some hole in the wall mom and pop gym and Gold's bought it out. They banned chalk and got rid of the only 2 bumper plates in the whole gym. I asked to be let out of my contract since chalk was aloud (there was a chalk stand there) when I signed. The manager told me chalk was always banned and they just weren't enforcing it before (obvious bullshit since they had fuckin chalk stands there for months with chalk in them). Me and my friend just smuggle chalk in now on pull days and wipe the bar off when we're done. The worst that happens is they throw us out and we get out of our contract.

I lifted at a gym in Virgina Beach and there was a guy in there--he went by "Red" and chalk was banned ( use Rosin, works better than chalk and is virtually colorless) but Red would keep his gymback nearby and he had a tupperware container of chalk and then he had one or two new bricks of chalk with a large computer generated label that said NAACP and then it listed their national address, which I think is in Baltimore and once the manager came over and was raising heck with him about using the chalk, Red takes out the fresh brick of chalk and says "I got this chalk for donating to the NAACP, then he would get real loud and say "YOU GOT SOMETHING AGAINST THE NAACP, YOU DONT WANT COLORED PEOPLE IN HERE" that sort of thing and the manger could not run away fast enough, I thought it was funny so I bought a brick of chalk and did the same thing, but nobody ever confronted me on it so I never got to use that line

Find the managers house and toss a couple fish into his roof gutters. Then kick his scrotum.

I belonged to Planet Fitness, mostly because they were open 24 hrs and I worked a crazy schedule. They removed the power rack and then told me I couldn't clean the weight from the floor for sohp. I demanded my money back and they gave it to me, minus 2 months (3 days into my second month at the time)

Anyway, that sucks. Your gym has managed to combine crappy customer service with an awful product. They will probably become the hottest place in town.

When you already owe 30k in school loans and are trying to scrap together another 10k for the upcoming semester a $100 means a lot. Besides, it is the principle of the matter.

Years ago, I was renting a house and using a realtor/rental agency that also sold residential homes. I mentioned to the owner that I was looking to buy in the upcoming months and she eagerly said, I will find you a house. Every time I called or dropped off the rent, I would ask her how the search was coming and she would always say, Oh, I really need to get on that, etc, etc. hey no big deal if she was busy. I met another realtor who found me a house that I wanted and I bought it and I went to her office to drop off the last rent check and also to give notice and she got all pissy about why I had not bought a house from her ( it has been 3-4 months) and she refused to give me my security deposit back even though the house was in near perfect condition--she made up some other excuse for not refunding it. It was only 250 or so, but as was said, earlier, it is the principle of the thing. I looked up all of her rental/for sale listings and found properties that were as far away as possible from her office, some were like 75 miles away and I would call and tell them that I liked such and so property and that I was very anxious to do business--I would make appointments with them at odd hours, weekends, early in the am, late a night,,etc, and of course would never show up. I had friends of mine call and do the same thing and I had the 3 agents in the office running ragged, we would call and they would say, "are you sure your going to be there" and we would say yes, and that we would bring a cashiers check, etc, etc. Then I would steal the companies for sale or for rent signs from their properties and in the middle of the night would put them on the lawns of wealthy people in the city.

I called her about two weeks into this campaign and she wearily answered the phone, I said, this is Keith W.......have you had enough?.....she paused and I said, I expect a full refund check in the mail within the next 4 days....and it came like the next day
