Planet Fitness STANDS BY decision to allow men in women's locker rooms and warns members that their 'discomfort' is not a reason to exclude transgender people

Planet Fitness has refused to walk back its decision to ban a member who exposed a 'trans woman' shaving in the female locker room.

The statement, which was shared by the Libs of TikTok Twitter account, said although some members may feel uncomfortable sharing facilities, 'This discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member.'

The comments come after Patricia Silva detailed at incident at her Alaska gym where she saw a transgender woman shaving in her locker room.

Silva had just finished working out at Planet Fitness' Fairbanks location, when she saw the person, whom she called 'a man with a penis,' carrying out his routine in front of a 12-year-old girl.

Silva, who has previously run for Fairbanks Borough Assembly, told the 'trans woman' they should really be using the male locker room.

The trans woman retorted they were 'LGB.'

Silva took a picture of the person and shared it online. And she was so shocked by what she had seen that she recounted her experience in a Facebook video.

'I just came out of Planet Fitness. There is a man shaving in the women's bathroom. I love him in Christ,' Silva began. 'He is a spiritual being having a human experience. He doesn't like his gender so he wants to be a woman, but I'm not comfortable with him shaving in my bathroom. I just thought I'd say it out loud.'

Silva - who has shared QAnon conspiracy theories on social media - also described the encounter in a written post online.

Yep. There’s a lot of mentally ill people on the planet. Some are in management of corporations.

Pandering to the delusions of seriously mentally ill people is never a good idea.

It's a fact of "modern" American society that a miniscule fraction of the population can adversely affect so many people with their sellfish antics and their irrational demands. What is even more surprising is that seemingly normal people contort themselves -- and their minds -- to meet these irrational demands of the seriously mentally ill.

That and the power and control these men/women/whatever have over women and girls when in these situations. They are sociopaths and psychopaths, not “Transgender”.

I'd like to see members cancel their memberships over this and then have Planet Fitness claim some breach of contract to apply early termination penalties.

I'd like to see members then sue Planet Fitness because they changed the rules mid-contract and then refused to let people who didn't like the new rules out of their contracts.

"I guess they want to go out of business."

More and more I see companies choosing ideology over business reality. They forget that actions like this will drive away more paying customers than being trans-freak friendly will bring in.

Okay. Thanks.

I got it confused with LA Fitness. I once signed up for a membership there and they wanted a one-year membership that costs 13-months of fees per year (the 13th month was an administrative fee).

I ended it after one year.

Looks like Planet Fitness is completely over.

You would think these fools would learn.

Correction: it is ok to discomfort CHILDREN and cause them to fear for their safety.

How will a child ever be able to call out to an adult for help after going through that???? It is our purpose to protect children from danger but apparently Planet Fitness thinks it is ok for a man to expose his penis to a child in a locker room as long as he ‘identifies’ as a woman because that is absolutely NEXT step. They want vulnerable children handed to them and Planet Fitness is doing just that.

It’s probably late in the day, for Planet Fitness to pivot to something more promising, like maybe video cassette rentals.

But they’re between rock and hard place here. Let the “trans” into the tent, or spend years fighting a bake-the-cake lawsuit.

There’s a home version of PF, nobody needs them for anything but social interaction.

You can live in a studio apt and get used exercise equipment on FB marketplace for $10. No excuses. You like social, try the church, the local food kitchen or city hall public meetings. Go to a block party and meet your neighbors. The local gun clubs don’t have PF’s problems either, and there are plenty of sociable folks there.

The way things are going, gyms are going to be unaffordable to more and more people. Leave them to the opportunistic invaders.

And why is anyone shaving in a gym? Try the barbershop! Lots of socialing there.

” ‘This discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member.’”

nice ... even nicer would be to see Planet Fitness to become an all-transgender gym! ... let’s make it happen, folks!

“You can exercise outdoors”

not in the rocky mountain states ... brutal winters of cold and ice and burning summers ... OK during the couple of weeks of spring and autumn ... the joke around here is that we have three seasons: July, August, and winter ... EVs don’t like our climate either ...

i suppose outdoor exercise is great in climate paradises like coastal california, but then again there IS the crime factor there now ...

Their stock price shows no reaction this morning. I am thinking this could be an excellent long term short sale opportunity.

Transgender’s obvious mental illness is a reason to exclude THEM from just about everywhere. Enough is enough. The right of association still exists, doesn’t it?
