Planet Fitness loses $400 million in value after banning the woman who exposed the company’s anti-female stance
American Thinker ^ | 03/21/2024 | Oliv

When Patricia Silva spotted a naked man shaving in front of a female child in the locker room at a Planet Fitness in Fairbanks, Alaska, she approached the individual and suggested he use the men’s locker room. Of course a disagreement ensued, at which point Silva got her phone out to expose the creep (without the nudity of course); shortly after the confrontation, Silva found herself banned from the gym, with managers filing a police report against her.

When Silva’s story went viral, the company doubled-down on backing the pervert, and in the wake of the decision, Planet Fitness has lost around $400 million in stock value. Here’s the story, from a report published at the Daily Mail yesterday:

Planet Fitness’ valuation has plummeted $400 million in five days after they banned a member who shared a photo of a ‘trans woman’ using a female locker room.

The company’s value dropped from $5.3 billion on March 14 to $4.9 billion on March 19, and its shares are down by 13.59 percent compared to a month ago.

The decline follows Planet Fitness’ refusal to walk back its decision to ban a member who exposed a ‘trans woman’ shaving in a female locker room earlier this month.

According to an article at The Advocate:

A spokesperson for the gym recently defended the decision to the Daily Mail, maintaining that not only did Silva violate Planet Fitness’s policy on mobile devices in locker rooms, but that ‘discomfort is not a reason to deny access.’

‘As the home of the Judgement Free Zone, Planet Fitness is committed to creating an inclusive environment,’ they said.

We can always “make the enemy live up to his own rules.” Whenever a man goes into PF, he uses the women’s locker rooms. Hopefully, that will create such discord that the transgender policy will eventually be reversed.

It takes time for the Bug Light effect to work it's magic.

"Perverts Welcome" isn't a sign to hang over a business... not when that sign includes their right to damage your kids and loved ones. Normal people won't join up.

The problem perverts have is they believe their own press. That's a mistake.

There really ARE NOT enough perverts to keep a company this large profitable. Same with the military - not enough perverts to keep the defense machine working...

I’m wondering WTF the parent of the child was doing? My ex would have gone APE S___T crazy in that situation. And if I had heard what was going on in the next locker room, the confused gentleman would have gotten a quick straightening out from me.

I try to visit Planet Fitness twice a week and certainly once a week. My Medicare advantage insurance Silver Sneakers pays the tab.

A theme drummed into visitors is “Judgement free zone”. The woman banned made a judgement.

My problem is that on the way home sometimes I have to consciously resist the temptation to go get some tattoos.

My Physical strength has improved greatly and I am able to get up off the floor and am now working on developing the strength to open new jelly jars and beer bottles.

Most moral investors will bail from Plane Fitness since it appears they are managed by homo pedos.

Secret old-age tip I discovered.

For the jars that are hard to open, simply take a screwdriver and (being careful not to chip or break the glass) slowly turn the screwdriver until the vacuum seal breaks.

Then it is easy to open the jar.

ANCIENT CHINESE SECRET!

One thing I don’t have to worry about is a lack of exercise on the farm!

I’ve never belonged to a gym, but I used to be a ‘Jazzercise Addict’ back in the day - rockin’ that spandex, LOL!

There I fixed it.

May Planet Nastiness go the way of Bud Light.

Perfectly normal; to Democrats.

Freaky times.

What we need to do is to get a class action lawsuit against Planet Fitness for promoting Pedophilia and Transgenderism...
