Planet Fitness

I have been a loyal member for over 3 years now. I attend your North Huntingdon location 5-6 days a week. Thankfully to your facility I have lost over 150 pounds.

On June 17, while I was working out a transgender (man acting like woman) came into your facility. Upon entering he walked straight into ladies room with no warning or announcement to any of the girls that were in there at the time. Another member who is a woman and also has daughters that workout there went into the ladies locker room and spoke to the individual. The individual then came out and went to the costumer service counter. I could see it was a heated conversation as the individual was pointing at the woman who had said something to him. At that point the woman, the individual and ms Lopes began having a conversation. I then approached the desk and tried to defuse the situation. I told Ms Lopes there was an easy fix for the situation. Simply have this individual upon entering the gym notify one of the gym employees that they needed to use the locker room and the employee could clear the locker room and stand at door until this individual is done. Ms Lopes stated that that would be discriminatory towards the individual. I then stated it is not fair for any real woman who may be in locker room changing to have a man walk directly into the woman's facility. Ms Lopes became highly agitated and stated that our memberships were being revoked. At this point the individual in question and the woman who confronted him had exited the gym. Approximately 20 minutes later I was on the treadmill and to my surprise I was surrounded by three North Huntingdon Township Police Officers. They explained that Ms Lopes called them to have me removed. I was totally dumbfounded being the fact I was only trying to help.

Ms Lopes totally infringed on my constitutional rights and throughly embarrassed me in front of everyone at the gym. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. I have contacted an attorney on the matter. Thank you
