Especially for 2007 86 St 11214 and 1601 Kings Highway Brooklyn 11229. But the managers told us that it applies to all planet fitness. (check before you sign up with any).
Do you go to a gym to breath toxic chemicals and ruin your lungs?
If you are doing aerobic exercise, do you realize you breath 20 to 100 times more air than someone at rest? In this case, it’s 20 to 100 times more dangerous chemicals that can wreck your lungs? Do you know what it’s like to not be able to breath? Have lung cancer? Have a lung removed? Have to live on a ventilator that breathes for you? Have severe asthma and can’t breath? Have Emphysema and are short of breath no matter what you do? Do you look forward to this? Well if you damage your lungs it could happen?
FOR ONE: They never tell you when you join, or if you joined and are already a member, that you are not really breathing 100% fresh air while you are working out, but at least 50% febreze and air freshner chemicals. They have about 40 white units on the walls all over the gym.(see attached photo).
Nobody really knows what they are. They are not labeled. Nobody asks what they are. They never tell you when you sign up or attend this gym that they do this. They are all over, on every floor on the walls. Just look and you will find them. They are seriously implicated in respiratory problems such as copd, asthma, lung cancer, bronchitis, etc.
On top of that, they have signs all over the place, that says, please wipe down all machines and they give spray canisters to do that with 0- great, right? WRONG!@ and everyone does THIS and sprays this stuff all over the machines, in the air next to you when you are going aerobic workouts on the treadmill. They think it's water. Well it's not. It's got heavy concentrations of chlorene and ammonia in it (I saw the list of ingredients, which is not posted on these bottles you are spraying or just sell it and you can tell)- 2 chemicals that are toxic to the lungs if you breath them in. Why they could not just use rubbing alcohol or something like this with no toxicity and disinfects?
People if you really need to join this gym or if you are already in the gym, please demand that they take out all the febreze canisters immediately before you join and refill the cleaning canisters (which are available every 25 feet on wall racks in this gym) with water or rubbing alcohol instead of chlorene and ammonia You did not come this gym to risk debilitating sickness. You will see one day that they will be in a lawsuit because of this. But you don't really want to be that sick to have to sue. Your health is more important.
Please protest: picket your gym if they use air fresheners, give the story to the local papers and tv stations, stand out in front of your gym with fliers and give one to everyone that walks in to make them aware of the dangers. Call the dept of health, dep, your congressman, etc. get a lawyer to file class actions lawsuits against: planet fitness corportate, your local gym, the owners of that gym and the managment of that gym
