Woman shames gym worker over ‘weird’ act

The woman has publicly called out the gym over the “scary” incident – and it’s not the first time something like this has happened.

Woman calls out gym for 'weird' act

A woman in the US has slammed a gym, alleging one of its employees accessed her membership details and used it to leave her a “weird” voicemail.

In a series of videos posted last week @kenyastephh called out the incident as “guys need to understand that it’s actually scary to do sh*t like that”.

“I wasn’t even at the gym for more than five minutes today and a worker pulled my phone number from my gym pass and called me and left a voicemail,” she said.

In another video she shared a snippet of the voicemail, in which you can hear a male voice saying “hello this is EOS Fitness … I saw you doing glute spreads” before it cuts off.

“Friendly reminder to men to please not do things like this,” she captioned the voicemail.

“This is very scary, too many weird things happen, I’m sorry for the women and I wish this wouldn’t happen.”

Kenya added that she hadn’t been in the room “more than five minutes” when she received the voicemail and had been in the “back corner” of the gym” so “I wasn’t too visible”.

“I always wear a jacket around my waist to avoid this stuff, I was just trying to take some pics before my workout,” she said.

Kenya has since let the gym’s manager know, as well as requesting they remove her phone number and name from their database.

She was not a member of the gym and had been exercising there on a guest pass with her friend.

Other women joined in Kenya in slamming the man who left the phone call, labelling it “unprofessional”.

“He can get fired for this, I work at (a) gym and this is a big no-no,” one wrote.

Other women said they too had gone through similar experiences. Picture: TikTok/@kenyastephh.

“This is so out of order. I used to work at a gym as a duty manager,” another commented.

“If I found someone doing that I would have them leave immediately.”

Some said they too had received unwanted advances from male staff who had accessed their personal information.

“This has happened to me twice at two different gyms, it’s not cool,” one commented.

“They texted me, I was scared,” another wrote.

“My pizza guy pulled my number once, safe to say I never ordered from that location again,” one woman shared.
