SANDUSKY, Ohio — A woman alleges she was recently berated by a Planet Fitness worker for wearing a shirt honoring a fallen officer.
Carolyn Demore, who says she’s currently in the police academy, wrote on Facebook that she was waiting for someone to sign her in to tan before she worked out on Aug. 18 when a worker approached her. He allegedly walked behind the counter and said “I hate your shirt. I hate the police. F*** them.”
She said she brushed it off, but he continued and said “that’s the dumbest shirt ever.” Demore told him the shirt honored Officer Andrew Dunn, who was fatally shot in a 2011 gun battle with a suspect. The employee allegedly replied “good for him, I don’t like you either.”
Demore said she tanned, but cut her workout short because she “lost all respect for Planet Fitness.”
Planet Fitness wrote a response on Facebook saying that they do “not condone such behavior.”
“Our goal is to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all of our members and guests,” they wrote. “We have taken immediate action and have reached out to all parties involved. We hope that you know that we aim to continue our commitment to providing a safe place to all.”
