As I write this complaint, I am currently looking for a number to call HQ directly. The complaint is about the Planet Fitness on 520 Broad Street, Newark, NJ against an employee. The morning shift, 6/19/2023, there is a dark skin gentleman working the front counter on said date. Dark thick head of hair, facial hair, slim fellow. My cousin usually goes there with a friend or two to workout. She prefers the mornings. But I overheard a conversation this employee had with her that was completely out of line. The thing about her is this, when she gets very uncomfortable with something, she gets really quiet, looks down, and turns bright red. He told her these exact words: "So, thought about that offer? I can get you a year free." As he said this, he looked her up and down lustfully and bit his lip. First of all, my cousin is a minor. I asked her about this, and she explained to me that this was going on for a while now, asking for sexual favors to get free memberships. Regardless of the fact that he can actually do this or not it is out of line. I encouraged her to get the police involved. She vehemently refused. So, I said okay, I'll push to get his employment terminated. For the record, I have an uncle that is an ADA, an Assistant District Attorney that reports straight to the District Attorney of Essex County. Listen, if that man is not relieved of his duties immediately, I will press charges on her behalf, which in the State of NJ I can. There are three witnesses, her friends and me. If I so choose to pursue these charges, the ADA promises to embarrass this Planet Fitness location, tainting the Planet Fitness brand, and getting the media involved. First of all, he is not just sexually harassing a female, he is sexually harassing a minor. How would Planet Fitness look on the news being labeled a company that hires sex offenders that target minors? Not a good look. I suggest getting rid of that guy and saving everybody the headache of dealing with the judicial process. Like I said, in the State of NJ, if a witness to a crime, I can press charges on behalf of the victim by leaving an affidavit. Once the District Attorney grabs hold of the case, there is no letting go. Planet Fitness will face the wrath of the NJ judicial system. Plus, a class action lawsuit does sound tempting after a conviction takes place. Which it will.
Desired outcome: Terminate this employee.
