No woman should have to go through what you endured. However, I suggest that C.J. Stirling, who commented earlier, had a point. While not everyone can do it, those who can should take her advice. If he touches you-or even stares too long-say: “WHAT THE BLEEP ARE YOU LOOKING AT, CREEP?” Bring it to the manager’s attention. If the manager fails to act, bring it to the attention of the national office of the gym (if one exists). There is usually a civil rights unit of every level of government. Bring it to their attention. There may be a personal interest reporter at a local radio or TV station who might need something to fill a news segment. The bad publicity may make the gym evict the jerk. If not, the gym’s leadership might fire the local manager and hire someone who will look out for the members.
