ALBANY, N.Y. - You could forgive a guy for grunting while lifting 500 pounds - unless you're the owners of a place called Planet Fitness. Turns out grunting isn't allowed in their universe.

Corrections officer Albert Argibay learned that the hard way this week. He was hoisting 500 pounds on a machine at the gym when the manager says he grunted, in violation of the Planet Fitness rules.

Argibay says whether or not he grunted is "open to interpretation." What's crystal clear is that police were called to escort him out after the manager came over and there was an argument.

The gym says they don't allow grunting because it conflicts with the non-intimidating atmosphere they strive for.

lol, saw that on the news this morning!! Next they wil kick you out when you sweat!! But from the gyms perspective, I guess he got rather rude.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Grunting comes with the territory. But there are some a$$es at the gym that grunt for show.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

...and they love to drop the weights on the ground real loud... like upstairs neighbors with bowling balls. :P

I was actually thinking of that :) Some people just can't play well with others in any setting.
