Ravenswood Fitness Center

Love Lulus WERQ class. Shes such a fun and nice instructor. Love the song pics.

Today I refunded my brand new membership to Ravenswood Fitness Center and I think the community should be wary of that gym and its management. I had signed up for a year so I could finally be at a gym with as many woman as men. I liked the vibe and the friendly atmosphere so I felt confident.As I was finishing paperwork a woman came in and tried to speak with management, she was denied and she took to yelling to the patrons and the desk worker that she had been sexually harassed twice in three months while leaving the gym. The man at the desk deflected and said management was busy with emails after the holiday and she left.The desk worker told me they had done everything they could by telling the police and the chamber. I walked home feeling really angry about the way she had been ignored, something didnt feel right. I wish I could do something to help her get action taken. She took to yelling just so someone would know about the danger and I would never have known to be wary had she been quiet or kept it on email.I decided to go back and ask the (same) front desk if he had tried doing a buddy system, telling patrons over email, putting up signs, having self defense equipment for people. He said they had done everything they could with the police. He implied it was maybe overblown since only one woman had complained, he suggested maybe she had a stalker, and then he said that it had been dealt with and they might do something more if someone else got harassed.Mind you, I asked, and they have video footage of the man who harassed her and his car plate, before I came back the desk worker acted like he didnt know who she was and then later retold verbatim the story of her many attempts to contact management over email. He already knew her and downplayed it and fibbed.Please do not support this gym. We should all care when one woman is harassed, and we should all jump at the opportunity to help keep others from harm even if we are not at risk. That gym has decided that their female patrons safety is not their problem when it is not their legal responsibility. Please share with those who go to that gym so they can be safe and travel with friends because Im worried for them and they should know theres a known danger.I hope the woman from the gym sees this, I saw that you tried to get help and Im sorry I didnt speak up while you were there, you deserve to be listened to and we all deserve to feel safe at the gym.
