Harassment from an employee
2
I have been harassed by an employee of Golds ever since I asked him to turn down the music, which I couldn't hear my own music through my Ibuds which were in my ears . Now when I enter the room he turns the music up so loud that it's unbearable. . He told me to go buy noise canceling headphones. Other members stated the music is so loud that they work out in the other rooms because it bothers them as well. Yesterday, I brought in a peice of equipment to use while doing my rotations he took over the equipment ( not the first time he did this to me) and when I took it back he started "I'm using that" I told him that "I'm actually not done using it and that I specifically brought it in for my exercise), he then tells me to "put my name on it"). This harassment needs to stop immediately. I work out in this room because I'ma disabled Veteran and don't feel comfortable in the other rooms. I've changed my workout time in order to keep the peace but he is always in that room. I was told by another employee that Gold's won't reprimand him because he bring in a lot of money. Well, I pay to workout here just like everyone else and I really like the equipment. How hard is it to keep this employee from harassing me? I am going to call the owner once I find out who he is, and yes I did complain about him before, which was useless because he more of a bully now then when I first started. I shouldn't have to worry about harassment. I'm sure he thinks because I'm a female I'll tolerate it, he is wrong. Please fix this situation so I can enjoy my workout without worrying about this guy harassing and bullying me.
