A New Hampshire woman says Planet Fitness canceled her membership after she complained about seeing a man in the women’s locker room last month.
Judy Walcott, a longtime member of a Planet Fitness location in Concord, New Hampshire, told Fox News Digital she felt unsafe after encountering someone she believed was male in the women’s locker room near the shower area on April 11.
“I was shaking. Like I was actually trembling because it freaked me out that bad,” she told Fox News Digital.
Walcott said she reported the incident to a young employee at the front desk, who told her there was nothing staff could do because it was company policy. She claims the employee did not check the locker room while she was present.

Knowing Planet Fitness, they may have cancelled her membership, but they didn’t cancel the monthly charge on her credit card.
Fake news. It is impossible to cancel a gym membership.
Well, they do need to punish the transphobic, right?
My wife has a rule for exercising. She can only watch television if she's riding her stationary bike. She can only do internet or social media (after) the dog has been on a good ruckus walk.
This is amazing. Not the transgender part. The fact that Planet Fitness actually cancelled someone’s membership! Usually, it takes an unappealable court order to get Planet Fitness to stop charging monthly fees to your account. I guess we’ve found a new way to get Planet Fitness to end your membership if you want to without a lot of hassle!
A great many of us do not go to the gym for social hour nor to be looked at. I go because I don’t want to spend $$ on weights and treadmills or stair masters. No maintenance on that stuff either, the gym does it. Not to mention the square footage to store that crap. Plus, it is the hour to hour and half a day I can ignore my phone (turned off in most cases) and totally lock out most of this crappy world and be left-alone. The health benefits are more than you can get riding a bike at home.
A side bonus is a do get to see pretty females from time to time.
Simple and true. One needs a good expensive lawyer to cancel a gym membership fee. It’s a monkey on your back in perpetuity.
😂
Gym memberships are almost impossible to cancel.
Someone finally cracked the code.
Planet fitness needs to be boycotted into bankruptcy.
I had a gym membership, at a different outfit, and when I canceled it I walked out of there and went home and reported my credit card stolen.
Why would anyone join a gym with those policies? Planet Fitness is for people who don’t want to work out, but can feel good about having a gym membership.
Oh, he's working out at the gym.
Next day.......
Bob is upset because the landscaping crew hadn't raked his leaves up or cut his grass, yesterday.
We have a neighbor that drives to Starbucks each morning to buy drive-thru coffees for him and his wife, returns home with them for their morning coffee.
Right up there with buying ice, bottled water, bread crumbs, croutons, herbs, or breads like bagels, rolls, sourdough, and cured deli meats.
Another one that puzzles me is the guy that has a contractor rake and remove all the fall leaves, then has contractor haul, deliver, and spread $1,000 worth of mulch in all the garden beds???, when composted leaves are for free......
Yes, Bob is a common thing in some gyms. Thankfully I am not Bob and do all my own chores but even those only get me so far.
Don’t get me started on Starbucks (but I don’t drink coffee so dog in that hunt). I agree with the lazy person’s shopping list and what some people eat and call it healthy.
I never understood gym membership either. It’s cheaper and more convenient to just buy a set of weights and a pull-up bar to use at home, or to go for a run/walk rather than using various devices to simulate walking.
Ha!
This may be THE way to get it cancelled from now on. Just tell the most Karen-looking desk staffer "There better not be any damn trannies in the womens' bathroom while I'm here!" and you're FREE!!
If I want to look at pretty women sweat, I direct my attention to my wife of 43 years.
