An internal memo from the 24 Hour Fitness Center labels Black Lives Matter and Pride Symbols “freedom of expression” while banning patriotic items like the American flag, except for holidays.
In the letter obtained by Libs Of TikTok, it informs employees that the fitness company is committed to “creating a more inclusive environment” before it details what is and is not allowed.
The memo said it encourages employees to “bring their full selves to work everyday” and then lists that “team members” can wear apparel that shows their “solidarity and support” for the following movements.
“Black Lives Matter/BLM words.”
“‘Pride’ and or pride rainbow logo.”
“Juneteenth logo, symbol or date on Juneteenth (June 19).”

This has gone beyond wokeness or even idiocy ... we have a subculture of folks who really believe this, who love this and who see no problem with its destructiveness! In fact, they welcome the demise of this great nation! They are fools, and we should not have to suffer them!

The best way to handle that is with your Feet! Take your money, let them know why you're leaving, and walk out the Door! If enough people do that, they will have to look at their Bottom Dollar and see if they should have second thoughts about their new Rules!!

I'm not fond of lawyers, but maybe a class action suit about "discrimination" would be a way to screw with them. Personally, I'd never go to a 24 hour Fitness.

I hope the blm and pride folks feel their entitlement, crash 24Hr Fitness locations, use/sweat up their equipment and walk out without paying.

Do you suppose these paedophile America-hating asshats will remain in business very much longer? Methinks not!

IOW, the black folks and the perverts can do what they want but you MAGA radicals had better step in line. What if you are black and MAGA? That would create controversy where none exists. Some businesses deserve to go out of business.

This is what thousands died for on the beaches on June 6th 1944? When you ban the flag that these men followed to "appease" or "pander to" a
couple of entitled groups we have hit bottom as a nation. Ten years ago this would have been unthinkable.

Could it be that they know a lot of LGBTQ+ “action” happens at the gym? Don’t want to offend their biggest customers.

This is a problem that is not getting better. To ban your own country's flag should not be allowed. This should be front page news. 24 Hour Fitness should suffer the consequence for dishonoring the country that made their success possible.

I have a special membership rate but haven’t been able to get to gym for months. When I went the music all seemed to no black (c)rap and the videos were almost all black even though most of their clients were white.
I don’t think I’ll renew my membership. Let’s see how 24 Hour likes a 95% drop in revenue when they get the Bud Light treatment!

They can say and think as they like. We can also investigate them as subversives - which they are.

More inclusive? Well, in the words of Sam Goldwyn, "Include me out."
