It's gross! Janitors hit Equinox gym sex

Several disgusted janitors are dishing dirt on the Equinox fitness center chain, claiming in a lawsuit filed yesterday that the upscale gyms are used as sleazy gay sex clubs. The six janitors charge in the Manhattan Supreme Court suit that they are fed up with cleaning up after male gym members engage in "explicit sexual activity."
The janitors cited five Manhattan clubs, including the chain's flagship gym in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, as places where "lewd behavior" is rampant in the men's locker rooms, showers, saunas and steam rooms.
When the maintenance men complained to management, they were "ridiculed" and subjected to "hostile" treatment, the lawsuit claims.
Equinox officials called the charges "frivolous" and deemed unfounded by separate investigation by federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
"It's just not an issue here at Equinox," said the chain's Chief Operating Officer Scott Rosen.
But janitors Jaisiin Bethea, Freddy Gonzalez, Jason Guishard, Omar Harris, Alex Mass and Rodney Vanterpool say they have frequently interrupted members having sex.
The janitors, who have all resigned from Equinox, are asking for unspecified damages and arguing their civil and human rights were violated.
Other Equinox gyms cited in the suit are located at Wall St. and Broadway, Greenwich Ave. and W. 12th St., E. 63rd St. and Lexington Ave., and Murray and Nassau Sts.

They're pretty much all like that, you must be going to the wrong one!
So basically you would have to get an expensive AC light (or two) and turn off the lights to film it. Doing that without getting noticed perhaps would be hard.
LOL!!!
It is a long story how I got my screen name. Short of it is that I co-opted my husbands' and he had to go find another one. Besides, unless it comes off sounding strange on a thread and I need to clarify why would I need to put that I am a woman? After all your own screen name doesn't specify your sex....
