A Viewer Writes: No covid concern – Planet Fitness

Hi Joe,
When I went into Planet Fitness this am for my routine daily workout, I realized halfway in that something wasn’t right. Finally I saw there was an individual not only working out without a mask but not cleaning the equipment as they moved on. I finished my workout and informed the front desk. The apathetic reply I received left me concern.  My wife has an immune disorder so I try to be extreme cautious on her behalf. After I walked out I pulled up to the curb to see if anything was to be done about the inconsiderate individual.  My phone call to Salisbury Planet fitness and my email to corporate (along with the picture of the individual working out without a mask)  have had no response.  I would strongly encourage everyone exercising at planet fitness Salisbury to observe extreme caution.  They clearly do not have your best interest at heart.

  1. Your wife has an immune disorder? Stay away from from all areas who could infect her from you . You are the problem not the planet fitness .
    On another note , the left are promoting this covid unrest in all the states . Most of it is pure BS at its best. When will you people wake up , covid19 is bad , we all know this . Having said that this is tied directly to the Biden agenda for trying to scare the hell out of you . Apparently it works .
    covid 19 is nothing more than an influenza with a worse effect on older people . Look at the facts people , panic is what they pray on , the left is winning right now , so think it out .

  2. No offense – but stay home if it concerns you – don’t be a sheep… If you are worried about you, isolate you, instead of trying to shut down a business. I bet you drove home with mask on.

  3. Masks do not work. If you are worried YOU should workout at home or outside. This is a virus and it will do what virus do. There is no stopping it. Stop harassing businesses who have suffered enough.

  4. If you’re that worried I would advise you stay out of the gym in the first place. They are hotspots and people in Salisbury clearly either have no regard for anyone else or still think the virus is fake.

  5. I joined Planet Fitness here in Salisbury a few years ago, when I went in and signed up they sent a young man around to give 2 of us the layout and what was available and covered under the membership we signed up for and other things we could include at more prices. The man I joined with I did not know but he was a former member of the YMCA so this young male guide was only interested in his questions, and what he wanted to do. When I asked questions I was ignored or brushed off. I still continued the membership for 10 months doing what I learned on my own, never any assistance or advise when I asked for it. The staff would smile that was about it and I kept trying by the end of the year I was asked at the desk if I wanted to sign up for another year, I told them no that their staff stunk, it was a very cold atmosphere and aside from the people I met working out I had nothing nice to say and would not return. Unless you are in their little cliques you don’t matter your just a dollar sign.

  6. Stay home then sheep. Let other people workout without a disgusting rag over their mouth. People like you bending to unconstitutional fascist edicts are why Governors still think they have endless control over us. Please cancel your membership, go home, lock your door, weld your door shut, and never come out again if this is how you are going to behave as a human being.

  7. If your wife is compromised its your responsibility to take measures. Not everyone else.
    Maybe u need to invest in a home gym or find another way to work out if being in public is a concern.

    Not the general publics problem. Its yours.

  8. What did you and your wife do before Covid? Lots of sickness going on before this. Don’t make all suffer due to a few with some health issues. Wipe down the equipment before you use. Make a gym at your own home. I am tired of the mask but you feel free to wear if you feel need.

  9. you can create more divide by calling a hot line and telling creating more of a problem. If your wife has serious underlying issues, stay home, wear your mask and haz mat suite, hose down in Lysol and hand sanitizer. I wouldn’t be surprised if you are one of the hoarders for papertowels and toilet paper

  10. Interesting bunch of arm chair idiots
    Normal gym etiquette is to wipe down the machine when you are finished.

    Putting covid aside – The perp is a selfish jerk and the victim has a legitimate complaint

    The very least people can do is try and protect each other with little or no effort and follow normal protocols.

  11. I echo the sentiments of the majority of other commenters; if your wife has an immune deficiency, clearly you should not be working out in a public gym. Buy some weights and a medicine ball and get it done at home. The governor’s guidance on COVID states masks must be worn indoors UNLESS it is hazardous to the wearer- if you are doing a REAL workout, not just one of the dudes siting around on equipment and creepily watching college girls, then you cannot breathe properly with a mask on. Also, masks shift and block your field of vision if your activity involves head movement- I have fallen downstairs twice when I looked down, mask blocked view of step and I missed it- I can only imagine what would happen to me on the Stairmaster! I have been a member at Planet Fitness too and you get what you pay for- anyway, whatever happened to snitches get stitches? ; )

  12. Blah, blah, blah, get a life. I agree with the stay at home folks if you are worried about covid. Accept personal responsibility and forget about controlling others lives.
