Hi guys.
Will try to keep this short but REALLY need advice from fellow people.
Got my gym membership at the start of January and on the second week I decided to go utilize the hot tub and sauna.
I was there by myself in the hot tub curating a vibe! Had my towel out, a book, was super happy that I found a place like this.
This man comes in about 10 min later and asks to turn on the bubbles. It’s worth noting that he sat on adjacent corner to where I was sitting… in an empty hot tub. He was sitting on the steps to the pool and I was on the same wall. My flip flops were close to where he was sitting.
As I was getting up to leave and grab my flip flops, I look down and realize that he is fucking filming me. Straight up. iPhone selfie view video trying to get a shot of me walking behind him. LIVID. The iPhone video is unmistakable. White circle with a red square in the middle. He lies and says he’s on what’s app. Goes ahead and fumbles on his phone trying to open the app. Goes as far as call one of his contacts. And I just know he’s lying. I also ask to see his camera roll and I see, with my own eyes, photos and videos.
I tell someone in the locker room as soon as it happens. She tells the manager that’s in that day, also the person who signed me up for my membership.
He tells me that the OM (operating manager) will call me. I wait a week… he doesn’t. I leave a note for him. He calls me back thinking I’m looking for someone else at the gym w his name. (How did he just NOT call me the first time anyways…)
I tell him that I’m uncomfortable with this happening. This man’s membership needs to be revoked. He tells me that he will call me back the next week to give me an update..
A week goes by.. two.. three!!! I’m so upset bc clearly it just doesn’t seem like he gives a shit.
Finally. I went in to the gym yesterday during the day and asked someone at the front desk if the OM is him. Turns out I WAS SPEAKING W HIM!
I was like oh it’s me… and he’s like clearly oh shit. He said he spoke w the individual and the man said he was on WhatsApp (LYING). I then asked, “were you planning on calling me about this?”
“I completely forgot”
How do you forget this? Someone at your gym is reporting being filmed, not even just on the floor but in the hot tub and you forget?
I want to escalate this with the corporate people. The OM said he discussed with his Boss, who said as long as it doesn’t happen again we won’t do anything to this man’s membership.
I asked if I could speak with his boss, who is actually a woman.
Need advice on how to go about this. What to say. What to advocate for.
Thank you ALL.
TLDR- caught someone filming me at the gym, hot tub, and caught someone filming me at the gym, hot tub, and staff is repeatedly showing me that they don’t care that this happened. I am anticipating getting a call from the boss at this gym location & need advice on what to say, and how to argue my point.
