Gym Chain Receives Backlash Over Transgender Locker Room Dispute
Singer Tish Hyman stated that her Gold's Gym membership was revoked after she raised concerns about a transgender woman in the women’s locker room at a Beverly Center location in Los Angeles. She described the experience as her “worst” at the gym.
Online Reviews Surge
The gym, recently acquired by EoS Fitness according to local reports, has been overwhelmed with negative feedback. Within 24 hours, it gathered over two dozen one-star Google reviews, many referencing the locker-room confrontation directly.
Official Responses and Context
Newsweek reached out to Gold’s Gym’s Beverly Center branch through their website contact form but received no immediate comment. The controversy occurs amid ongoing national debates about transgender rights and privacy in public spaces.
“Today I was naked in the locker room. I turned around, and there was a man there.”
Political Background
Since January, President Donald Trump has signed multiple anti-transgender executive orders, including one titled “Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports,” which threatens to withdraw funding from educational programs allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports.
Broader Implications
This incident mirrors the wider and highly divisive discussion in the United States around transgender rights and women’s privacy in shared spaces like locker rooms.
