Owner Kevin “Pretty Boy” Bunn,
and his better half, Wendy w/Chi-Chi |
I currently train at Planet Fitness in Clayton, NC. The gym is owned by Kevin Bunn – a National Level bodybuilding competitor. I have visited many gyms, both hardcore and fitness oriented, but never felt I had a home until I went to Planet Fitness.
Kevin’s gym incorporates all aspects of the lifting world, while allowing everyone to become one big family. We have champion bodybuilders, fitness models, powerlifters, as well as a general member base of 2500. The gym is diveded into sections, including a large cardio area equipped with televisions, a general hammer strength section, an indoor basketball court, a large karate and aerobics room, a daycare with televised observation and the “Chamber”.
The “Chamber” is the area where the Clayton crew does its most devious destruction and growth. The weights tremble at the lightest footsteps as they enter, wondering if the bars can withstand another day of torture and abuse. Weight in this room is moved in only heavy increments and respect is earned and never lightly treaded on. Upon entering this area, you come to the quick realization that you have embarked into a realm very few ever return from – hairs stand tall on your neck; your bloods runs cold as your palms become clammy; your heart begins to pound in your chest as an old woodsman taking his grit to a redwood, forever relentles, forever determined. Your presence here is welcomed by all who are entwined in the chamber’s grip, and the family grows as a young star destined for greatness. The roots entwine you as you loose yourself in this world of controlled chaos. All that embark with you only ask you give the support that you receive.

This room, set in the back of Planet Fitness, is a room of power, a room that consumes your soul upon entrance and relinquishes it upon your exit. Chalk smeared across the bars, sweat puddled uopn the floor, bits of blood and skin draped across the knurling of the hardcore bars. The walls are lined with mirrors so you can watch the lifting demons arise deep from within you, only to be vanquished until tommorow when you return for your next conquest.
Planet Fitness is a gym within a gym within a gym. You can accomplish whatever goals you set for yourself with the right dedication and hard work, and Kevin allows you to grow at the rate you deem neccesary while always supplying you with the proper supporting cast and the most awesome facility.

Why do guys always watch me from behind? |
I welcome any and all of you if you are ever in the area to visit my gym, come grab a quick workout, massage, basketball game or just some great shakes and smoothies. But if you have the true grit, and think you have the fortitude and backbone to survive, come visit our hardcore room, see where the Firecracker gets her “bang”, you will never look at lifting the same again. You will forever remember “The Chamber”. |
My wrists are securely fitted with Rickey Dale Crain wrist wraps. I feel that they are much tighter and more supportive than other brands that I have experimented with.
