Earlier this week, a Florida man reported that an employee at Planet Fitness gym asked him to leave the premises after a fellow gym-goer complained about the pro-life t-shirt he was wearing. Mike Amoroso’s shirt read, “Abortion Kills a Person,” and the employee told him that if he did not change into something else, Mike would have to leave the premises. He went home. But, undeterred, Mike returned the next day wearing a shirt that he thought would be more palatable than the first. It simply read, “Pray to End Abortion.” Watch 70-year-old Mike Amoroso’s story below:
Ironically, Planet Fitness has itself received flack from gym rats and anti-discrimination groups for labeling hardcore body builders as “Lunks,” a term coined by Planet Fitness.
On its own website, Planet Fitness sells a t-shirt that says,
Lunk (lunk) n. (slang) one who grunts, drops weights, or judges.
Did you notice the part about ‘not judging’ being a part of Planet Fitness’ business model? Yet, any phrase showing support for the human rights of unborn children is judged as offensive at Planet Fitness. Visit the Planet Fitness Facebook page if you’d like to voice your opinion about Mike Amoroso’s experience at the self-proclaimed “judgment-free” gym.
very judgmental for a judgment-free zone.
leftists are always hypocrites
I’m normally not into “prophecy” stuff, but I just read “The Mystery of the Shemitah,” and it seems to accurately describe what’s going on in this country. This incident is another example of how our nation’s former mainstream moral beliefs are now being marginalized, persecuted, and even criminalized.
I’ll have to check that out.
Crap. They’re opening a gym down the street from me & I was considering joining. Nevermind.
We have them here, they suck in my opinion. Try this one...

Leftists get really uncomfortable when the light of truth is revealed to them.
Join and get a tee shirt;)
Do what the LGBT crowd does. Call every Planet Fitness in your area and tell them either they change this policy allowing for Pro-Life T-shirts or we have boycotts.
Boycott!! Yum!!
I have a better idea. Have 100 people show up in pro life shirts. They really gonna tell them all to leave?
I would go some where fit to do my fitness.
I wonder where the “just change the channel” crowd is now...
For those who don’t like to use Facebook...
