A 62-year-old woman asked to use a treadmill but a gym employee allegedly told her to get in shape first before kicking her outA 62-year-old woman was allegedly turned away from a Crunch Fitness location on Whitsett Street after an employee reportedly told her to get in shape before she could join.
When her mother explained that she simply wanted to walk on the treadmill, the employee allegedly responded, “Well, we don’t want people like you in here.”
Complaints about how gym staff handles members have surfaced elsewhere recently, including a billing dispute over an unexplained charge at a Planet Fitness location that also went viral online.
Some viewers were skeptical of Buchanan’s account, pointing out that it is unusual for gym staff to threaten police involvement without a specific provocation.
The Crunch Fitness location where the incident allegedly occurred declined to comment on the situation.
