Gym revokes woman
A Westwood woman learned there’s a limit to how much free speech you can exercise at the gym, after Planet Fitness yanked her membership for yakking on a cell phone while working out.
Tina Santoro Asmar said she got the boot after answering an unexpected call from her doctor’s office while training on the elliptical at the Planet Fitness in Dedham on Thursday.
That violated a rule restricting cell phone use to the lobby, but the 49-year-old owner of Santoro’s Sicilian Trattoria in Dedham claims the gym’s general manager violated the chain’s “no gymtimidation” mantra with his “bizarrely angry” crackdown.
