Do you even lift naked, bro? This dude does loudly and proudly at this local Planet Fitness. Unfortunately, not everyone was in awe of his nude workout and he was arrested for making gains au naturel. The man getting buff in the buff thought he had an irrefutable reason for his naked workout, but he was mistaken, but he gets an “A+” for effort.

We take you to the Planet Fitness gym in Plaistow, New Hampshire where 34-year-old Eric Stagno was charged with indecent exposure, lewdness, and disorderly conduct for working out nude on Sunday. I do hope this gentleman was being extremely careful while doing squats. When Stagno was arrested by police, the naked man told them that he “thought this was a judgment-free zone.” The slogan for Planet Fitness is “Judgement Free Zone.”

The 34-year-old nude man was doing yoga poses on a mat at the time of his arrest. No word on if it was downward facing dog, but hopefully for the cops it was not. Stagno is free on $1,000 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned on misdemeanor charges on September 21 in Plaistow District Court. Let’s just hope that he wiped down all of his equipment.
