The incident occurred at a location in Fairbanks, Alaska, according to a report from Fox News.

The woman, Patricia Silva, visited the location last week and saw the man shaving in the women’s locker room.

What do you believe is the most important factor for a gym to consider when creating bathroom policies: privacy, safety, inclusivity, or something else?
@9KZ5KJJ2yrs2Y
I feel there should be bathrooms for boys and for girls, to solve this we could just have private bathrooms for one person at a time

Do you think a company should prioritize an individual's gender identity or the comfort of other customers, and what values influence your opinion?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can the act of taking photos in a locker room for any reason ever be justified, and what are the ramifications of such actions?

This should never be allowed or accepted
Cancelling women is a bad idea financially for anyone or any company.
It’s also immoral but that’s another conversation.
Planet Fitness is destined to lose massive value and eventually go out of business if it doesn’t apologize to its female members.

Dear Planet Fitness,

Men and Women are not the same.
Biological reality doesn't care about sincere feelings.
