They still have the “lunk alarm.” It never went off while I was there. I imagine it rarely, if ever, does; it’s more branding symbol than disciplinary device.
And honestly, as a curmudgeonly 40-something, I’m glad Planet Fitness has a rule against people being loud while working out. While there’s evidence to suggest that grunting and yelling can slightly improve your athletic performance, you have to balance that modest boost against annoying and distracting other people. One of the tradeoffs of working out in a communal space is that you’re honor-bound to act as a considerate communal citizen.
