Planet Fitness critics are saying "go woke, go broke," calling on the top fitness chain to receive the "Bud Light treatment" after an uproar over its transgender locker room policy created a social media stir.

The chain saw a $400 million dive in valuation from $5.3 billion to $4.9 billion just days after revoking an Alaska woman's membership for snapping photos of a transgender woman, who was biologically male, shaving in the women's locker room, according to a Daily Mail report.

Patricia Silva's issue was first reported by the conservative X account Libs of TikTok, which has since continuously urged gym goers to boycott the chain and blasted the company for creating unsafe spaces for women. On Tuesday, the account shared an update regarding the valuation drop.

"Whoa. Planet Fitness saw $400 Million wiped off its value since we broke the story of them allowing men in female lockers rooms and then banning the woman who exposed it. Turns out people don't want to support companies who cave to gender pseudoscience and allow men in womens' private spaces! #BoycottPlanetFitness Do not let up! Keep it going!" the post read.



The adults are back in charge.

Pretty sure they're trying to short themselves

That horrible stallion commercial, lunk alarm and everything about them makes zero sense for a gym

These moments were hysterical. Will Ferrell helped a very unlikable person be way more likable by him playing her in drag. It is peak woke because it's taking all the benefits of being woke without actually doing any work or making any sacrifice.

When Will Ferrell's good friend Harper comes out as a trans woman, they take a road trip to bond and reintroduce Harper to the country as her true self.

"In select theaters" to be Oscar eligible. Then quickly Netflix.
Trump will fix it.

It will play for at least a week in order to be eligible for awards

And yet drag is somehow not just ok, but encouraged and celebrated...

Sounds riveting. Should be one of the biggest hits of the year.

That, and if they really believe trans aren't just "cross-dressing", then where does Will think the offense lies?

These folks contradict themselves on the regular.

Yeah well, he made an ugly woman back then, now he'd be an old ugly woman.

Men dressing as women is as old as theater itself. A woman being in the acting profession was akin to being a prostitute. (Which probably wasn't that far off back then.)

It has been part of comedy for a long time.
