Tish Hyman recently found herself in a contentious situation at a Los Angeles Gold’s Gym, where she claims her membership was revoked for addressing a man who was repeatedly entering the women’s locker room. The incident occurred on November 2, during which Hyman captured a confrontation on video, revealing the man’s persistent presence in a space designated for women. Hyman reported that other women had also filed complaints, yet the gym’s management remained unresponsive, leading to a growing concern for the safety and privacy of female members.
In her social media posts, Hyman detailed her fear and the urgency of the situation, emphasizing that the gym failed to take any serious action despite the multiple reports. She recounted an instance where the man entered the locker room behind her and reportedly used derogatory language, leaving her terrified and prompting her to call for help. The gym staff eventually removed the man from the area, but instead of supporting Hyman, they terminated her membership, which she viewed as retaliation for speaking out against the harassment. Hyman expressed her disappointment, stating that women’s safety should not be compromised for the sake of convenience or policy.
This incident has sparked a broader conversation about the responsibilities of athletic facilities in protecting their patrons, especially in spaces where privacy and safety are critical. Hyman is urging others to take a stand and consider walking away from gyms and other establishments that do not prioritize women’s safety. She emphasized the importance of holding such institutions accountable and called on men to think about the well-being of their family members, warning against allowing harassment and bullying to continue unchecked.
