a conservative boycott of the gym chain over its non-discrimination policy for transgender people.Shared to X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday by Libs of TikTok, the commercial shows a Planet Fitness worker misgendering a female bodybuilder while showing her around the gym."We'll finish our tour with the locker rooms," the employee says in the ad.
Seemingly unsure of which locker room the new sign-up would use, he tells her "after you.""No, no, after you," she replies, with the employee awkwardly walking towards the men's facilities.
The woman coughs, indicating that he'd made the wrong choice."Had a tickle in my throat," she says, seemingly unimpressed, before the employee looks away and mutters, "I don't know which one you're supposed to use."Since being shared to the social media platform, the post has received over 2.8 million views.Although there was no date in the post and clips of the commercial are difficult to find, the commercial features actress and fitness model Jayne Trcka.
According to IMDB, she appeared in a Planet Fitness commercial in 2012.Trcka is best known for her role as Miss Mann from the first Scary Movie film.
