I just wanted to mention this really random quirk in the music selection at the Planet Fitness that I go to. Virtually all of it is from the past five years. Heck, “Born This Way” by Lady Gaga came on when I went tonight, and it struck me as one of the older selections. But, for some oddball reason, Rancid’s “Ruby Soho” keeps popping up. I’m not complaining or anything. It’s just hearing this 20-year-old tune floating around a playlist so slavishly modern defies reason.

Of the 7 day week I go into my PF for 5 of them, usually 3 or 4 in a row. Not only does the staff greet me by name with a smile and a “what’s up”, but I see the same people almost every time I go in.

So the almost every day-ers are pretty frequent at my PF and I doubt that me, weird seam girl, crazy fit suit man, leg tattoo guy, or hot chick with the awesome legs feels any kind of pressure

Spend a week complaining that the gym allows a woman to use the women’s locker room, “no judgment” policy or not you should be tossed out on your ear. I’m 100% behind Planet Fitness for that one.
