One woman who claims to have lost nearly 800 pounds says she had never reached that point before. After more than two years of consistently working out, however, one visit finally did it.<\/p>\n<p>Crowded gyms can test anyone\u2019s patience, especially when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themarysue.com\/woman-calls-planet-fitness-the-cheapest-option-then-a-disturbing-gym-encounter-leaves-her-shaking-i-just-want-to-enjoy-myself\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">someone else makes a workout uncomfortable<\/a>. January can make things trickier, with longtime members sharing equipment with people starting New Year\u2019s resolutions. Still, being busy wasn\u2019t what pushed this woman out the door.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themarysue.com\/tag\/tiktok\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a> creator Ronni3.Lo (@ronni3.lo), she understands that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themarysue.com\/tag\/planet-fitness\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Planet Fitness<\/a> gets crowded and everyone needs access to the equipment. What she couldn\u2019t accept was one person seemingly treating multiple machines as theirs at the same time. Eventually, she decided finishing her workout wasn\u2019t worth what might happen if she stayed.<\/p>\n<p>    It shouldn\u2019t be this complicated    <\/p>\n<p>Ronni explained that she has been working out for roughly two and a half years and had never cut a workout short before. This time, she was frustrated enough that remaining at the gym could lead to an argument.<\/p>\n<p>She had already been having a difficult day. Rather than let things escalate, Ronni went to her locker, grabbed her belongings, and left. \u201cIt was best for me to leave before an argument started,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n<p>The problem wasn\u2019t simply the usual January crowd. Ronni acknowledged that New Year\u2019s resolutions bring an influx of people into gyms and that facilities naturally become busier after work. Her frustration centered on what she considered a lack of common courtesy around shared equipment.<\/p>\n<p>During the workout, Ronni encountered someone using a barbell while also claiming an empty seated press. When she wanted to use the press, the other gymgoer apparently maintained that they were using it too.<\/p>\n<p>Ronni wasn\u2019t buying it. \u201cIt is a fact. It is a Snapple Apple fact because you cannot be in two places at once,\u201d she argued.<\/p>\n<p>For her, taking up several pieces of equipment crossed a line. Planet Fitness is a shared space, she stressed, and anyone who wants multiple machines entirely to themselves can buy equipment and work out at home.<\/p>\n<p>The situation mattered to Ronni because exercise isn\u2019t something she considers temporary. She claims to have lost almost 800 pounds and described working out as part of her lifestyle. \u201cWhen I come to the gym, I\u2019m here to do a job,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>A gym visit can already become uncomfortable when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themarysue.com\/planet-fitness-outfit-revealing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">something interrupts a person mid-workout<\/a>. This dispute was enough for Ronni to recognize that continuing wasn\u2019t worth a confrontation. \u201cI actually have things to lose,\u201d she recalled thinking. \u201cI need to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ronni emphasized that she doesn\u2019t blame Planet Fitness employees. Her issue was with the etiquette of people at that particular location, which she vowed never to visit again.<\/p>\n<p>The experience also made her understand why some people pay $200 or $300 for gym memberships. She suggested that certain people simply don\u2019t go to those gyms.<\/p>\n<p>Commenters understood her frustration. \u201cWhat gets on my nerves is the texting while holding up the machines,\u201d one person wrote. Someone else had recently encountered an even more extreme situation. \u201cThis past Saturday dude took up 4 machines,\u201d they claimed.<\/p>\n<p>Others blamed the January rush. \u201cBabes these folks gon be gone quicker than you can blink. January is very annoying,\u201d one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Ronni had already made her own choice. After two and a half years without cutting a workout short, she decided this particular Planet Fitness wasn\u2019t worth staying at. \u201cYeah, nah, never again,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Have a tip we should know? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themarysue.com\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection#a4d0cdd4d7e4d0ccc1c9c5d6ddd7d1c18ac7cbc9\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Walking out in the middle of a workout takes a lot when the gym has become part of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":635939,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[589,163,85,46,10700],"class_list":["post-635938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-fitness","tag-health","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-tiktok"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
