Two separate incidents at major gym chains—Gold’s Gym in Los Angeles and Planet Fitness in Michigan—have reignited a fierce national debate over locker-room access, gender identity, and corporate responsibility. Both cases involve female members who claim their memberships were revoked after they confronted or documented individuals they believed to be men in women’s locker rooms. Supporters say these women were punished for defending privacy and safety, while critics accuse them of violating inclusivity rules or filming in restricted areas.
