‘It’s evident how close his male private parts were to me’: Woman accuses gym-goer at Paya Lebar of sexual harassmentA woman alleged she was sexually harassed by a man who did pull-ups over her head in the 24XFitness gym at SingPost Centre in Paya Lebar on May 3.
She took the video of herself in the wall mirror sitting on the floor and resting between her squat sets as the man stood over her and started to do pull-ups near her head.She panned the camera to show another squat and pull-up rack beside the one she was using.He was so close to her that the video shows a close-up of the bottom of the his shoes.The man appeared to be threatening to kick her head when he said: "Don't let me do it, I'm telling you.
The spokesperson said that according to the gym's CCTV recording, which did not have sound, the man sought the Stomp contributor’s permission to share the equipment she was using at 4.46pm. The Stomp contributor told Stomp: "This was patently untrue because there is another squat rack with a pull-up bar that is of the exact specs."
"I used one profanity, which was 'WTF', out of shock when the male member first encroached upon my personal space. I do not believe this justifies his actions towards me."The Stomp contributor told Stomp: "During this call, when I insisted on providing the story via WhatsApp, she called me ‘uncooperative’."
"With this being said," added the spokesperson, "we have also suggested to her that she should refrain from using profanities towards the male member when she was approached the second time to request to share the equipment which had triggered the incident as we have witnesses in the area who confirmed what happened during that time."
On May 7, the gym's managing director, Zen Lee, called the Stomp contributor and apologised for what happened, according to the spokesperson.
