A Planet Fitness employee named Magnus posted a video on TikTok under the handle @twisted_teeaa, sharing his frustrations with how the company treats its staff. Shortly after the video gained attention online, he was fired. Magnus believes corporate made the call because of the video, but he also thinks a manager had already been looking for reasons to let him go.
Magnus said he really doesn’t like Planet Fitness “as a company.” He drew from his own time working at a Houston location, as well as stories from other employees. His main complaint was that the company expects a lot from its workers but gives very little support in return.
