Hi, I'm T Spritz CEO of Planet Fitness. I'm really sorry about that Alaska "thing". One of our managers went a little "funny in the head". I want to assure all our customers and more importantly, stockholders that if you have a Johnson we'd prefer you frequent our Men Friendly Lockroom Space.
We don't mean to offend anyone especially not people who post on social media and have lots of followers.
Planet Fitness stock plummets after woman’s membership canceled for taking picture of ‘man in women’s locker room shaving’

Planet Fitness saw the valuation of the company’s stock drop this week after an Alaska gym canceled a woman’s membership when she photographed a male using the women’s locker room.
The company’s stock price, which traded at a monthly high of $66.92 on March 7, plummeted to a low of $56.46 on Tuesday.
The price drop followed an incident in which Patricia Silva encountered a “man in women’s locker room shaving.”
She also claimed in a video posted to Facebook that there was “a little girl sitting in the corner. She could have been [12 years old] … in a towel kind of freaked out.”
“I was offended, I took a picture of him,” she said in the clip.
Silva added that the man had been shaving his face and told her he was “queer.”
After she relayed her complaints to management, Silva said, her membership was revoked for violating the rules against photographing other gym users.
The gym’s policy allows members to use the locker room that corresponds with their gender identity.
