I did so immediately on 1/4/2026 since my email, and I have yet to receive any response. This lack of follow-up exacerbates the initial issue and indicates that the public response may have just been for appearances. My review: I'm a heavier thicker 166lb woman , I live in Texas so it gets VERY hot here. I wanted to make everyone aware of an incident that happened to me 1/2/2026 at planet fitness in Bastrop, Texas. I was minding my own business, working out with my friend when the manager went up to me in front of my friend and IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE GYM and told me that I needed to cover up or leave. I left the gym and bursted outcrying in my car. See what management did not know is that I was severely anorexic for a lot of my life, and I had barely gain weight and I was starting to feel more confident with my physique and wanted to be able to wear shorts and sports bras like everyone else. What they did to me not only embarrassing, but it was unethical! I want to emphasize that there was other members at the gym right at the same time I was there wearing the same type of outfits I was wearing. (Sports bra and shorts it was a hot day in Texas mid 80's) I personally feel like I was singled out because I'm thicker than the other thin members that were wearing the same outfits. I find this highly unethical and judgmental. Part of the reason why I went to planet fitness was to be a judgment free zone and not to feel body conscious about being bigger.

He gave us three different options to meet our needs and as soon as we gave the green light, he was working as fast and efficient as possible. My wife felt relieved that within several hours, Waylon had tested our system and was ready to wrap it up!! He also gave us a bid on several other projects we had held off on and look forward to booking Waylon again in the future with some of our bigger projects. I highly recommend Parobek Plumbing & AC.
