Greetings Great Gym, 

The gym is amazing. 

New York City is lucky to have you. 

I’m 47.

I have zero criminal record. 

No one has to contact me. 

Tonight June 22, 2024, at about 8:50 PM something happened that I want to quickly report. 

I was minding my own business leaving the gym. 

Someone accused me of stealing. 

I said to the person I totally understand that people get robbed all the time in New York City and it’s frustrating. 

I told him he could check my backpack no problem. 

I have digital receipts for my backpack and everything inside it. 

The person looked through my backpack and said that nothing inside was his. 

He then came up to me again and asked if I saw someone steal his backpack. 

I said no. 

I said “do you want to check my belongings again? I’m more than happy to show you anything you want if that will make you confident it’s someone else.”

He said no. 

I have no idea who the person is. 

If I see the person again, I wouldn’t recognize him. 

I always treat your stellar staff with the utmost respect at all times. 

That is the number one most important thing. 

Your staff at all the gyms are amazing. 

The whole thing lasted about ten minutes. 

The second the person approached me, I turned on the audio recorder on my phone because I was near the front door of the gym almost walking out. 

If we were in the locker room I wouldn’t have been able to record. 

I’ll keep the audio for safekeeping, although I’m not looking to get anyone in trouble, it’s a reasonable misunderstanding. 

I was just thinking to myself, if I got robbed, it’s excellent that you sell clothes because if someone ever stole my clothes from a locker, I can wear the gym clothes out. 

The person who accused me seemed to be satisfied at the end. 

If you look at the security video, you will see I emptied out my whole backpack and let the person go into all the pockets on the couch by the front door. 

Again, the staff and gym are amazing. 

NYC is lucky that we have such solid retail offerings such as yours.

Thank you again for being so awesome. 

I tell everyone I know to join and I’ve left you 5 star reviews on every review site. 

Thank you and have a great day.
