    “At Planet Fitness, we have robust operational brand protocols in place, as the safety and well-being of our members is our top priority. We are working closely with our local franchisee to ensure they are upholding those brand protocols,” Gosselin added."

    Ah yes, the problem here is “operational brand protocol”.

    Damn. Surviving the weekend in a tanning bed is the next-to-last step in cancelling a Planet Fitness membership. He was so close.

    Average temp of tanning beds is 75° Fahrenheit, but they can go up to 86°. If that thing was on all weekend, I can’t imagine how disgusting things were by Monday.

    There was a needle so likely OD.

    But I saw a different article that said the gym continued to stay open even while the coroner was collecting the body and staff just pretended everything was normal.

    I can’t imagine no one sues over this. Imagine going to the gym, it smelling especially gnarly, and then finding out days later you were breathing in a rotting corpse while doing your miles on a treadmill.

      I’m amazed nobody 1) noticed the smell 2) didn’t realise someone had been using a tanning bed for that long.

      Death has a very specific smell. It’s not one you forget quickly.

      Someone might try to sue over hurt feelings, but there have to be damages.

      What are your damages from doing a workout while there is a dead body in another part of the building?

      It’s planet fitness. They’re not known for customer service. They’re known for being the bare minimum mildly predatory cheapo gym.

        Planet Fitness is a relatively large national chain…

        Some lawyer is taking the case for a cut of it. They might not win, but they’ll sue and likely take a settlement.

      Sounds pretty sheltered tbh fam

      They don’t even clean up vehicle fatalities in the US anymore, just haul away the body while all the blood and giblets are left on the asphalt for the other drivers to grate into the road lmao.

      Comes with the territory of being a corrupt and collapsing country I’m afraid.

        If this is true it’s likely location dependent. Here the fire department will hose the scene down since they’re there anyways and towing companies are responsible for cleaning up debris.
