“Fake News Alert: Planet Fitness did NOT hire Lia Thomas as a paid spokesperson! This claim is as reliable as a chocolate teapot in a heatwave. Let’s break it down, shall we? An Alaskan lady got the boot from Planet Fitness for snapping a pic of a transgender person shaving. Now, some jokers spread a rumor that Planet Fitness brought Lia Thomas on board. Talk about a load of baloney!
And where did this juicy piece of fiction come from? None other than a satire website called ‘The Dunning-Kruger Times.’ Sounds fancy, right? But hold your horses, folks. This site is just a hub of make-believe stories and tall tales. It’s like a modern-day Aesop’s fables, except with fewer morals and more mischief.

So, why are some people falling for this nonsense? Perhaps they’re too busy doing laps in the pool of misinformation. Or maybe they just love a good gossip session. Either way, let’s set the record straight: Lia Thomas isn’t flexing her muscles as a spokesperson for Planet Fitness. In fact, she’s probably too busy breaking records in the swimming pool to bother with such shenanigans.
Now, some folks at Check Your Fact did a bit of snooping around. They tried to find this so-called Joe Barron from Planet Fitness, but no luck. It’s like hunting for unicorns in a shopping mall — ain’t gonna happen! And surprise, surprise, no credible news outlets are backing up this wild claim. Even Reuters gave it a big thumbs down.
So, next time you hear a fishy story like this, remember to do a reality check. Don’t be fooled by clickbait headlines and sensational rumors. Stick to the facts like a squirrel hoarding nuts for winter. And always keep your truth-o-meter running high, folks. Because in the world of news, it’s better to be right than to be sorry!”
