Why do so many people do workouts at planet fitness the wrong way and I mean very wrong lol?

[blondfrog]

What's the point of going to the gym if you are not going to work out right. There is no excuse either. There are literally bar codes you can scan showing you how to do workouts the right way there and youtube videos.

[Lionman95]

Some do it wrong because they simply don´t know it better. When I went to the gym no one introduced to the machines in the gym so it was like a game of try and error to me.
If no one ever bothers to show you how to use them correctly you´ll probably not going to know it.
The other big reason is for clicks. They want to get attention and so they start to do so on purpose.

[blondfrog]

Well you can scan the qr codes next to the machines and it plays a video how to do them now. So there is no excuse plus you could always youtube it.

[Lionman95]

I´m not from the States so I´ve never worked out there. I think the biggest reason could be though they either want to raise attention and do it on purpose or they are totally unaware of how stupid they look and how far they are from the actual workout.

Low budget gym usually = low gym priority people. Not for everyone obviously and we don't have planet fitness where I am but most newbies or those who do new years resolutions to get fit only sign up for a low budget type of gym for reason. Obviously they may know how to do the workouts property but chances are some machines are complex I must admit if you are new to the eye, so mistakes happen...

But again, idiots exist

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I walk the track or work out at home plus get a work out at work so no planet fitness for me

[Phoenix98]

Serious gym goers and gym rats don't typically go to planet fitness you'll find them more at places like genesis.

[blondfrog]

Yeah still sad though. There is no excuse for people who work out like that. I mean they are borderline retarded lol.

[Phoenix98]

Stupid is as stupid does I suppose.

[blondfrog]

Yeah very true.

your video is better than mine. Thanks for the laugh lmfao.

[Mangospacho]

That’s kind of their brand that they don’t cater to people who are obsessed with working out. It also doesn’t sound like Planet Fitness is all that interested in getting people to lose weight because they want to keep you as a member forever. Any gym that’s serious about people getting in shape wouldn’t let people just flail around like in that video.

[Sevenpointfive]

bro! they aren't in the judgement free zone. kick them out of there

[blondfrog]

Lol I agree. Cause they can also be a bad influence on other people there.

[Sevenpointfive]

i remember being 16 and thinking i was benching wrong. i was like 120lbs, but i was putting up 255. i did what was comfortable without ever knowing that i wasn't doing it right. it turns out i was right.

but come on! the membership gets you free personal training!!! most of them were fools

[blondfrog]

Bench press? Do you mean leg press?

[Sevenpointfive]

no i was good on leg press. on bench i looked awkward asf! i was benching over twice my weight

[blondfrog]

This is a bench press.

[Sevenpointfive]

i was looking like this

[blondfrog]

And that guy is doing it wrong. Arching you back that high is so bad and could result in serious injury.

[Jamie05rhs]

@blondfrog IKR? Wtf is he doing?

[Sevenpointfive]

it's a chin up bar right?

[exitseven]

It's a very inexpensive place to work out and there are very few serious gym rats that would go there. Mostly people go to socialize I imagine. They don't really care a bout working out.

[Prof_Don]

Planet Fitness has a lot of beginners in there, due to the low price point and the marketing of the place as a non-meathead gym 😛

[humanearth]

I would do every thing bad. The last time I was at a gym. It was high school gym when I was in high school

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I think these people need a professional trainer to help them out
instead of doing something which is not normal

[LazarusTheRisen]

Because they can and will. Instead of getting upset, you could just mind your business and do your own workout

[blondfrog]

Lol I am guessing you are one of those guys lol.

[LazarusTheRisen]

No, but I am one of the guys who enjoy watching people make a fool of themselves.

[blondfrog]

Me too lol. I was at the gym yesterday and saw some dude barely lifting these 40 pound dumbbells' acting as if he was actually doing bicep curls with them lol. It was so cringe. And another guy doing shoulder shrugs by just spinning is shoulder and not even moving the dumbbells' an inch.

[Anonymous]

Maybe they just want to work out different muscle groups?

[blondfrog]

LMFAO

[Opinion Owner]

Well you do have to give them credit for their creativity.

[Anonymous]

I am not sure who is more pathetic. The people using the machines wrong or the beta simps recording them on their phones. I would laugh if one of their subjects caught on to what they were doing and came after them

[blondfrog]

You used the term simps incorrectly lol.

[Jamie05rhs]

Why don't you help them, then?

[blondfrog]

Lol cause if you try to they could get all upset and that would start a confrontation lol.

[Jamie05rhs]

Oh, okay. Lol

[NathanDavis]

I've never worked out in my life.

[Tunasub]

Hernias are the new hotness

[llorando]

I have no clue.
