Good. My gym had this random trainer who wouldn't constantly melt down about Trump. It was annoying as hell.

Good for them. When I’m doing cardio, it’s depressjng to have CNN, MSNBC, and Fox on the TVs, all spewing their biased and illogical bullshite.

I mean god damn it’s unavoidable

They have a point. Isn't it already documented that people who avoid political news have lower blood pressure?

Good for them. I wish I could find a CNN free zone at the airports I travel through. And I don't want Fox either. Just give me a place where I can sit and not listen to the mindless blather.

The Lifetime gyms I have in my membership have only shown ESPN and maybe one gets flipped to the Outdoor Channel every once in a while cause there will be a hunting show on sometimes. I can't believe that hasn't triggered some PETA liberal to complain about that and get that shite banned too.

If they are banning cable news because it doesn't mesh with a healthy lifestyle, what does it say about Planet Fitness who (more than likely) plays cable news WHILE serving pizza?

Trump?

Sounds like the members of a private health club voiced their displeasure of editorialized news entertainment shows.

To be fair, being involved in politics by way of cable news, social media, etc. is draining and quite literally depressing.

But that gym might as well be planet fitness now.
