I am a member at 24 hour fitness for years on and off at the location in Valley Stream New York. A male staff came into the females locker room while I was in a fetal position. Neal down sitting on the bench in which I could of been undress. Male staff should of never be in the females locker room in the first place. He was warned about this behavior in the past when I first signed up for 24 hour fitness by another customer who saw him coming into the females locker room in the past. I was shocked and felt completely violated and disrespected. In his response he stated" The female staff saw me lying forward in a fetus position. I cannot sleep in 24 hour fitness". I told him excuse me? You are completely out of line and not suppose to be in the woman locker room. I am a paying customer no one should tell me what I am able to do in a gym setting or not in that circumstance. That is not enough reason to find yourself in the woman locker room. This is violation of my rights and you are not suppose to be the woman locker room especially if there are other staff members present. That is harassment, exploitation, discrimination, unprofessionalism and it put me in a extreme uncomfortable state. Especially to witness the same staff member that was warned by another female member in the pass not to come in the woman locker room. This was a very malicious attack. I feel threatened and was attacked tonight.
Claimed loss: Sense of self,harassment,expliotation, professionalism and integrity.
Desired outcome: Staff needs to be delt with accordingly and replaced with worker who are respectful.
