    Traditionally it's the skinny frail guy that's being body shamed by the muscleman. While I still find this somewhat problematic, since no one should be body shamed, it's somewhat beneficial for those looking for a gym that they can be comfortable in, even if they aren't in the greatest shape.

    I really didn't think this was good or bad. If anything it was pretty funny.

    Planet Fitness claims that all of their gyms are "no judgement zones", but then they release something like this.

    i think people shouldn't be ashamed but others should not show off, there should be two pats of the gym.

    I don't find it that persuasive, so what is the point?

    I think this ad is very bland and doesn't make sense. I don't even know what the add is advertising. It seems so border line and I think it's trying to be humorous but isn't.

    This poster is somewhat harmful to other viewers out there as it targets body builders and tries to spread the judgment free zone throughout their ads which is not a bad thing, but there are better ways of advertising a judgment free zone than putting shame on body builders.

    This ad shames people who work out, and I don't think it's actually persuasive.
