[highwayman]

This is PC gone to far. How about a no sweating rule, or how about no smelling wile working out...

You can lift, strain, crunch and sweat all you want at the Planet Fitness in the Dutchess County village. But whatever you do, do not grunt.

Yep, "no grunting." It says so, in black and white, on a sign posted at the gym. One former member learned the new rule the hard way.

"This is really absurd, especially the part about the grunting," said Al Argibay, a corrections officer who learned first-hand "no grunting" means exactly that.

What about farting? Is farting okay?

 

[tonksy]

Only while doing abdominal exercises.

Only when it is not heard or smelled...

"He did grunt, and when I told him he wasn't allowed to grunt, he got irate at me, he swore, and he yelled at me," Palazzolo said. "I asked him not to [grunt), he got irate and nasty, and I can't have him in my facility if he's gonna do those kind of things."

Argibay denied he yelled, cursed, or acted inappropriately. He demanded an apology from the gym and its manager.

"It's an attack on my character, and it's very embarrasing, and an insult," Argibay said. "At the end of the day, after serving your community as a corrections officer, the last thing I want is to be escorted out of the gym by the local authorities."

Palazzolo is standing her ground.

Altogether now - GRUNT

he broke the rules of a private club. what's the issue?

 

[highwayman]

If you don't grunt you don't sweat...

 

[Gonz]

A completely ridiculous rule for a gym unless one is more concerned with looking mahhhhvelous than getting in shape.

it's a private club with its own rules. obey or leave, right? or is that only the case when you agree with the rules?

 

[Professur]

Who said I agreed with the rules? Then or now?

you having a larf?

(or wot?)

 

[Gato_Solo]

He joined the club, and agreed to follow its rules. If he doesn't like the rules, he should take his money, and toddle off to a club where he's allowed to grunt. The only question is...was this a rule before or after he joined?

Wot Gato said.

Besides, who grunts at the gym?? If yer doing it properly, you should be breathing through it, not grunting.

Usually at the end of a set, though...

Argibay said he was at a multi-press station, getting ready to squat about 500 pounds when the forbidden sin happened.

That could cause a grunt.

 

[Inkara1]

If no one can do the grunt work, then we shall surely perish before long.

 

[highwayman]

Consider this...

If grunting had been disallowed every were, were would baby's come from?

 

[kellyg]

I wonder if the 'no grunting' rule applies in the toilet?
