After reporting that someone she believed to be a man was inside the women’s locker room at a Planet Fitness, a woman says her longtime membership was canceled.
Judy Walcott told Fox News Digital, “I was shaking. Like I was actually trembling because it freaked me out that bad.”
After initially reporting the issue, she was told that the staff could not do anything about it due to company policy.
Walcott raised the issue again with another staff member a few days later and was called “transphobic.”
Per Fox News:
“She showed concern until I started telling her that there was a creepy guy in the ladies’ shower on Saturday, nobody checked him out… then before I could say anything else, she interrupted me, telling me she ‘thought’ she knew who I meant and what a wonderful woman that is,” Walcott told Fox News Digital.
She said the conversation went downhill from there, alleging the staff member did not address her concerns and instead “repeatedly” called her “transphobic” before she decided to walk away.
A couple of hours later, Walcott said, the gym’s manager called her to tell her that her membership had been canceled for a “policy violation.”
Walcott checked her member portal and found a ‘Member cancellation or freeze form.”
A copy of that document, which Fox News Digital cannot authenticate, shows an April 15 cancellation request with a request effective date of May 16. In the comment field, the form says, “Nondiscrimination Trans.”
This is not the first time the national fitness chain has put political correctness above the safety of women.
In 2024, The Gateway Pundit reported that the company banned a woman for taking a photo of a “transgender” biological man shaving in the women’s locker room at a Fairbanks, Alaska, location.
Patricia Silva said she was in the locker room when she saw a “man with a penis” shaving in front of a 12-year-old girl in a towel who was sitting on a bench and looking uncomfortable. She reported the incident, but nothing was done to remove the man.
The gym chain has stood by its decision, saying that a member’s “discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member.”
“As the home of the Judgement Free Zone, Planet Fitness is committed to creating an inclusive environment,” Planet Fitness chief corporate affairs officer McCall Gosselin said in a statement to Fox News at the time of the incident.
“Our gender identity non-discrimination policy, states that members and guests may use the gym facilities that best align with their sincere, self-reported gender identity. The member who posted on social media violated our mobile device policy that prohibits taking photos of individuals in the locker room, which resulted in their membership being terminated.”
Following that incident, Planet Fitness reportedly saw a $400M drop in value.
Whoa. Planet Fitness saw $400 Million wiped off its value since we broke the story of them allowing men in female lockers rooms and then banning the woman who exposed it.
Turns out people don’t want to support companies who cave to gender pseudoscience and allow men in womens’… pic.twitter.com/s55gBryFjD
