A woman in New Hampshire says Planet Fitness canceled her gym membership after she raised concerns about someone she believed was male being inside the women’s locker room at a Concord location, as reported by Fox News.
Judy Walcott, a longtime member at the gym located on Fort Eddy Road in Concord, told Fox News Digital she felt unsafe after the April 11 incident near the shower area.

“I was shaking. Like I was actually trembling because it freaked me out that bad,” Walcott said.
According to Walcott, she immediately reported the incident to a front desk employee but was told staff could not do anything because it was company policy. She claimed no employee checked the locker room while she was there.

Walcott said she returned four days later to raise the issue again because she remained concerned about safety. During that conversation, she alleged another employee repeatedly accused her of being “transphobic.”
“She showed concern until I started telling her that there was a creepy guy in the ladies’ shower on Saturday, nobody checked him out… then before I could say anything else, she interrupted me, telling me she ‘thought’ she knew who I meant and what a wonderful woman that is,” Walcott told Fox News Digital.
Walcott said the conversation escalated before she walked away. A few hours later, she said the gym manager called and informed her that her membership had been canceled for a “policy violation.”
“So I asked her what policy did I violate? I didn’t violate a policy, I asked about one. She didn’t answer me,” Walcott said.

According to Walcott, she later checked her online account and found a cancellation form dated April 15. The document allegedly listed “Nondiscrimination Trans” in the comment section.
Walcott claimed she never authorized the cancellation request and believes her signature was forged.
Walcott said she returned to the gym on April 17 after noticing she had still been charged for another month of membership fees.

She claimed she attempted to use the remainder of the membership but argued with the manager over whether she was owed a refund.
Walcott alleged the manager told her she was “not getting a refund” before contacting the police.
The Concord Police Department later confirmed to Fox News Digital that Walcott “was formally trespassed from Planet Fitness, 89 Fort Eddy Rd” on April 17.
Walcott said she has since contacted the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office and plans to file a consumer complaint.
“So she takes a form, signs my name, charges me money, extends my membership, and then calls the cops on me. Like, what the hell? I feel like I live in an upside-down land,” Walcott said.
Walcott said she decided to speak publicly because she believes the company’s policy is unfair to women.
“What does it take? Are we being sacrificed in the name of inclusion?” she asked.
Planet Fitness states on its website that transgender members may use locker rooms, showers, and facilities based on their self-reported gender identity. The company also says it seeks to maintain an “inclusive gym environment.”
Fox News Digital reported that Planet Fitness did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
