A hole 2 I (26M) came back to my suburban hometown for the holidays and signed up for a gym membership at the local Planet Fitness to tide me over while I was away from home.

Given this was the cable machine, it made a decent amount of noise at the end of every set when I let go (but I wasn't making noise in between reps and it's not like I was letting go from full extension). After two sets, a person (30-35M) came up to me and admittedly asked me politely to make less noise. Fair enough. EDIT: For clarity, this person was another gym goer - not an employee. Afterward, I tried to more gently let go of t

    Font - The guy came back and said something along the lines of: "I already asked you to stop nicely. This is dangerous and also might crack the weights. I'm not going to ask you again." There was a bit of back and forth but I said "I am putting it down lightly. I'm not going to gently place / touch down the weights. Letting it go near touching is already more than a person typically does." He also said his safety worry was that the noise might distract people lifting weights, but who doesn't exp

You were quietly spoken to and still couldn't keep it down. You're lucky they didn't sound the klaxon and hit the strobe on the wall, TBH. 2.2k Reply Share ServelanDarrow . 2 days ago Professor Emeritass [86] "No lunk", ya learn something every day 225 Reply Share

    Font - disappointedvet - 2 days ago Partassipant [1] I'm not going to gently place / touch down the weights. Letting it go near touching YTA.
