The gym, with its numerous locations across the country, stirred up quite a commotion when a customer shared an experience involving a person who identifies as a woman using the ladies' restroom at Planet Fitness.
Woman in Planet Fitness claims she went into the bathroom and this man who thinks he’s a woman was in there shaving.

To Planet Fitness, this doesn't seem to be an issue. However, what might trigger their infamous "Lunk Alarm" is anyone in their facilities who refuses to acknowledge gender fluidity according to representatives from the company.
From The Daily Mail UK:
Planet Fitness has refused to walk back its decision to ban a member who exposed a 'trans woman' shaving in the female locker room.
The statement, which was shared by the Libs of TikTok Twitter account, said although some members may feel uncomfortable sharing facilities, 'This discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member.'
The comments come after Patricia Silva detailed at incident at her Alaska gym where she saw a transgender woman shaving in her locker room.
Silva had just finished working out at Planet Fitness' Fairbanks location, when she saw the person, whom she called 'a man with a penis,' carrying out his routine in front of a 12-year-old girl.
Silva, who has previously run for Fairbanks Borough Assembly, told the 'trans woman' they should really be using the male locker room.
.....
Planet Fitness revoked Silva's membership and filed a police report against her, citing her violation of gym policy by taking photos and/or videos in the locker room.
Her actions clashed with the gym's commitment to 'creating an inclusive and safe environment.'
