Yep – that story made the rounds at Iron On Line a while back. Grunting can be taken to extremes, and I find the bro-tards grunting while curling 95lbs in the squat rack particularly annoying, but if a dude is squatting ATG 500lbs, then a grunt should certainly be forgiven.
That said, Planet Fitness did clearly post their rules, so scofflaws shouldn’t complain about being asked to leave. I’ve never worked out at one of those gyms in my travels, and I travel a lot for a living, but I’ve taken out a guest pass at similar places from time to time. No powerlifts, no chalk, no loud grunting. When a guest, I’ll follow the rules and appreciate my gym all the more.
