Planet Fitness is a franchise gym that isn’t known for it’s hardcore atmosphere. The exact opposite in fact. Planet Fitness is the epitome of an anti-hardcore gym. Dropping weights on the flow, grunting too loud, and even carrying a gallon of water could get you jettisoned for the establishment.

Strongman competitors Brian Shaw and Robert Oberst decided “hey, why not train at one of the most hardcore gyms in the world, Planet Fitness.” Needless to say, hijinks ensue.
