Based on the info in this thread it appears to me that Planet Fitness wants to have their cake and eat it too, they want people's money BUT they also create such a restrictive and nebulous set of rules that they can kick out anyone who actually wants to make use of the equipment. I wonder how often Ambivalid was in there using the equipment and if he got marked as a regular to be got rid of.

I'm reminded of the cellular ISPs that kick customers off willy nilly, they say your transfer limit is 4 gigs a month but if you go over 500MB they kick you off. They don't want customers who use the service, they want customers who pay the monthly fee and come in for an hour every six months to use the exercise bike.
