LA gym revokes woman's membership after her privacy violated by man in women's locker room

A gym in Los Angeles terminated the membership of a woman who complained about a man using the women's locker room. Tish Hyman posted on X about the experience of having a man follow her into the women's room and call her a "b*tch," only to have her gym membership canceled.

On Sunday, Hyman posted, "Today he saw me walk into the women’s room followed me in and called me a b*tch. I ran out into the locker room crying and screaming. This is why we can’t be quiet because people need to know what’s happening. Thank you to the men who helped me today."

In a follow-up, Hyman wrote, "Gold's Gym terminated my membership after the MAN was escorted out by police. Then had me escorted out by officers afterwards. It was EMBARRASSING! I left but not before making sure everyone KNEW that they were allowing MEN in the locker room !!!!!" The Gold's Gym location, along with numerous others in southern California, was acquired by EoS Fitness in October.

Video circulated showing Hyman angrily calling out the gym in the lobby. "At Gold's Gym men, grown men, with big d*cks, in the women's locker room!" She shouted. "And that's why I'm getting kicked out. And I wanna make sure the girls to know. The f*ck! Everybody saw that man in the f*cking locker room, no one's saying sh*t and I'm f*cking done with it. It's f*cking stupid and it's dangerous. Me, naked in front of a man without my permission, but I'm the one who gets kicked out of the gym y'all, and I'm terminated for not wanting men in the locker room!"

Hyman later posted her own video, saying, "I just had the worst experience ever at Gold's Gym," she said, "And I think this is probably happening at gyms across America where like, trans women are going into the women's locker room and not really caring about how women feel about it, and it's really hurtful.

"Yo, like how you gonna say you want to be a woman, or that you are a woman, but you don't give a f*ck how women feel. Today, I was naked in the locker room. I turned around and there's a man there in boy shoes, like boy clothes, lip gloss, standing there looking at me. I'm butt naked," she said.

Hyman described how she thought maybe it was a work crew, maybe there had been a sign and she missed it. So she addressed the man, calling him sir, only for the man to freak out at her. "He goes, don't f*cking talk to me. I'm a woman. I have a right to be in here." Hyman said she was angry, standing there fully nude, with a strange man staring at her.

"I feel violated," she said. "I feel like, weird. Like, I don't want to deal with this, right?" As other women walked in, they seemed to share her concern, saying that they didn't know why he was there either and that the man shouldn't be there.

The workers at the gym, however, offered nothing other than for her to file an incident report. "Why do you guys think it's okay for men to be in the women's restroom?" She asked.

There have been several public instances of men invading women's spaces in gyms across the US. In 2021, a man took liberties by entering the women's side of the WiSpa in Los Angeles. A court ruled in 2025 that a Washington women's spa must allow men.

In 2022, a grandmother was banned from a YMCA after calling for males to not be in the women's locker room while little girls were changing clothes. In 2025, she won her case. A Planet Fitness revoked the membership of a woman who said her privacy was violated by having men in the women's locker room.
