Planet Fitness' valuation has plummeted $400 million in five days after they banned a member who shared a photo of a 'trans woman' using a female locker room.
The company's value dropped from $5.3 billion on March 14 to $4.9 billion on March 19, and its shares are down by 13.59 percent compared to a month ago.
The decline follows Planet Fitness refusing to walk back its decision to ban a member who exposed a 'trans woman' shaving in a female locker room earlier this month.
Patricia Silva was barred after she detailed an incident at her Alaska gym online, where she said she saw a transgender woman in her locker room.
Following backlash against the ban, the company said although some members may feel uncomfortable sharing facilities, 'this discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member.'
The company's stock fell by 7.8 percent on Tuesday, going from its opening price of $59.44 to a five-month low of $54.80, it then rebounded slightly.
Silva posted a video describing her experience at the gym on Facebook in early March.
She said she had just finished working out at Planet Fitness' Fairbanks location, when she saw the person, whom she called 'a man with a penis,' carrying out his routine in front of a 12-year-old girl.
Silva, who has previously run for Fairbanks Borough Assembly, told the 'trans woman' they should really be using the male locker room.
The trans woman replied that they were 'LGB.'
Silva then took a picture of the person and shared it online and recounted her experience in a Facebook video.

Not much of a gym-rat ...
But Planet Fatness always gave me the creeps, even before the current pervert situation. It’s a place for people to pretend to work out ...
Thanks for the explanation.
No thanks for the eye-rolling muscle I just pulled watching the video.
Place sounds like a sh*thole.
Some people like to work out with friends or acquaintances. Some people don't have room at home for hard-core weightlifting gear. Some people like the culture. Some people just want a change of scenery.
You may not want or like those things ... but you aren't all people. Gyms exist for a reason. It's (still) a (more or less) free country ...
Guess you missed the photo of the “trans person.”

“but you aren’t all people.”
Really? I. Did. Not. Know. That.
Let’s Go Brandon?
This story is so REVEALING on so many levels.
The Trannies’ leverage is social media.
Just a relatively few have used it to promote their perverted agenda.
J K Rowling has gotten blasted on social media but she has F U money and doesn’t care.
She cares more about preserving womanhood.
Other “celebrities” with social media platforms are too scared to escape the woke plantation.
But as much as I abhor social media, a REAL woman from Fairbanks made ONE post on Fakebook and likely DESTROYED an entire company.
Planet Fitness is not an international conglomerate with several brands like AB which will survive the Bud Light debacle.
One God-fearing woman made one post on social media and likely took down a company.
That is good news.
Share it joyfully with friends and family and your brothers and sisters and in Our Lord.
Because liberals want transgenders to be more sexually competitive by removing women from society. By removing women from society, some men might be willing to have sex with transgenders.
Greek sexual mores is what it
Probably a pedo.
I’ve done headcounts at Planet Fitness to demonstrate to my daughter that they are a particularly female friendly gym. It works out to about 45% women, a huge market they clearly market to.
So tranny in the ladies room is kinda opposite of clear corporate intention to be female friendly.
A lot would depend on just what he was shaving???
Finally, a good reason to quit my membership and feel good about it.
Thank you for posting that.
THAT IS A MAN!!!
If you make too much noise while working out, usually a grunt or dropping weights, they ring the lunk alarm, which is like an air raid siren, singling that person out so they stop making noise. It’s ridiculous.
why would any woman ever go there anymore? what woman wants to share a locker room with men?
That makes no sense-it is a gym-not a library...
Besides-doesn’t everyone work out to music? I have my own weights-so work out at home-to rock music I crank up loud. We have a gym out here, too-a private owner one-they play loud music, too-if someone doesn’t like it, they go to a gym in the city 45 miles away. Planet Fitness sounds like it sucks-glad their stock is tanking...
