I guess I don’t know what ‘toned’ means. If it means have a soft tummy, then yeah - she’s toned.

This is just asking for a lawsuit and given that the target is a member of a protected class, they will be paying her to come back along with the EEOC and her attorneys if she wants to go that route.

I smell bs, lawsuit, and idiocy. If that is toned, then Obama is a Conservative.It is possible the manager was telling her to put on a shirt because she was not toned and offending others and tried to do it without telling her she was fugly.

I’m ok with this. I spend plenty of time at the gym and I don’t see anyone dressed like that. It’s also part of the gym policy as many people are paranoid about using a machine covered with sweat. You’re supposed to wipe everything when you’re done.

I think it’s stupid that she and the media are making a thing over it. Put on a friggin shirt, shut up and keep working out. No one is infringing on your right to exercise.

As common sense evaporates, lawsuits increase.

I’m wondering whether all this complaining was, as they carefully pretended, aesthetic or moral, or whether maybe it was racist.

You have simply got to be sh*tting me. She’s not that toned anyway. What kind of world are they creating?

Planet Fatness is well-known for its idiotic policies.

Some of them have very little in the way of free weights. Good luck finding a squat rack & similar equipment. Others kick you out if you grunt too loud. Still others are fond of offering pizza & cookies at the front desk as a "reward".

Their appeal seems limited to the crowd that does not want to try too hard.

Their business model is that they’re not a place for muscleheads and gymbunnies. There are a lot of places for them and there’s a certain group of potential customers that don’t feel comfortable at those places. Those are the customers Planet Fitness is trying to get. It’s their “Unique Selling Point” as they say in marketing. They’re upfront about the fact and feature it in their advertising, so it’s not unexpected that they would actually, you know, deliver on what they’ve promised their customer.

That may be “toned” at a fatty farm but not where I come from.

If she is told that she is too toned, she should take it as a compliment, put the dang t-shirt on and continue working out. If she was intimidating others, I shutter to think what the other female patrons looked like. And yes, it was definitely a female complaining because, believe me, there is no man in the world who would complain about a woman being overly toned...
