you want to see discrimination, go on some golf courses in t-shirts and shorts. You will see discrimination.
Some restaurants only allow suit jackets
I went to a gym that was ran like a country club. No bodybuilders there, and for a reason. So I decided instead of trying to fix that gym, i'd just go to golds where i like the atmosphere. If you don't like planet, go somewhere else.

OK, I see there is some difference of opinion on the rules, and I do agree 100% that a business owner should have the right to set a dress code or rule on smoking or not, shirt or not, etc.... But my point still stands, that if you call your business by a name that indicates a place to go work out, and if most people want to wear muscle shirts when they work out, and that's the case at least in all the gyms I've been in, they should be allowed. If they look ridiculous in a muscle shirt because they're skinny, obese, way steroid-bulked out, or whatever, THEY're the ones who look goofy, and I don't care if some other bro looks goofy. I look goofy anyway, with any clothes.... There should be a rule that the muscle shirt (and all other gym clothing) needs to be clean and not walk in with it stinky, because otherwise it's offensive to others working out, and that's rude & disrespectful. If you want to set a dress code requiring sleeved shirts, and to rule out any sounds such as grunting or banging plates, etc., and you are selling bagels and pizza, it should be called "Planet Social Club" in stead of "Planet Fitness". Of course I don't want to see pit hair while I'm eating in an expensive restaurant, so obviously that's where you have a regular shirts-only rule. Just to clarify, I think most dress codes are BS, except for in church, school, and courtrooms. As long as you smell good, and appear clean, it shouldn't matter what style of clothes you have on, to play golf, eat in a restaurant, or sit in a theater. But again I do respect the rights of all business owners, and therefore I won't break the rules or argue them. I will simply not go in businesses where I don't agree with the rules.

this ^^^^ precisely...i never liked going to bars because i don't like breathing smoke and, now that you can't smoke in most of them in pa anymore? meh, i still don't like going to bars because they're usually full of drunk fucking assholes, many of whom are aggravated because they need a smoke
and a gym with a restrictive dress and conduct code? not my cup of tea...they're not going to get any of my money...but, if they can be profitable with that type of business model?? more power to'em!! let the free market take care of itself.
As far as I know, PF doesn't ban muscle shirts. They ban sandles, which is a good safety precaution IMO, boots, jeans and skull caps. I dont think that's that big of a deal. Most of those things people should wear to work out anyways.
I hated Planet Fitness, just sayin though, their 'dress code' isn't particularly out of line.

In a way, I can see that. String or "racer-back" tanks let bare skin touch the benches and machines, and that's a health hazard.
