Planet Fitness gone haywire

You have recently made a number of very irritating changes by adding quite a few nonsense additions to your gyms, Hyrox being one of them. What an absolute hype!! The participation levels are basically non-existent and all this nonsense does is take up space. There now seems more "studios" than actual equipment areas, which defeats the purpose of a gym altogether??? And to make things worse, you have removed key equipment used by the weight lifting athletes, which is a MASSIVE IRRITATION. Who have taken over the needs assessments of Planet Fitness? Narcissists?? Because "bragging and screaming" about throwing a ball against a wall or "skeeing" in the middle of a gym while it's 32 degrees outside seems dumb. Look at me, I paid to run on a treadmill and push a sled inside a building while other people are doing REAL exercises!! And the equipment must have cost many thousands!!!

There are actually a large number of people who have started to do calisthenics, which takes a lot more skill and require a tiny investment, but you aren't even considering it.

Then on another note, why have you changed the "free holiday" period from middle Dec-middle Jan to December only?? This means that I will not be able to use the gym in the city I am going to AT ALL this year!!
