Gym Calls Police On Weightlifter Who 'Grunted'
Man Made Noise While Lifting 500 Pounds

<!--startindex-->ALBANY, N.Y. -- You could forgive a guy for grunting while lifting 500 pounds -- unless you're the owners of a place called Planet Fitness.
It turns out that grunting isn't allowed in their universe.
Corrections officer Albert Argibay learned that the hard way this week. He was hoisting 500 pounds on a machine at the Wappingers Falls, N.Y., gym when the manager said he grunted -- in violation of the Planet Fitness rules.
Argibay said whether or not he grunted is "open to interpretation." What's crystal clear is that police were called to escort him out after the manager came over and there was an argument.
The gym said they don't allow grunting because it conflicts with the non-intimidating atmosphere they strive for.
The gym, which refers to itself as the judge-free zone, has the following statement on its Web site: See rest on link.*
I find this truly amazing and a waste of Police manpower. I say he should have gotten the whole gym to grunt.
