We hate making these posts… but this is something we need people to know.
Entering a locked business without payment or permission is not okay — and it’s illegal.
This weekend, we had an incident where this individual snuck into the gym. He pretended to be looking at our bulletin board in the lobby. When one of our members punched in, he let the door almost close behind them, then grabbed it and walked in.
He then went back out to his car and propped our door open with his shoe so he could get back inside.
What makes this even more frustrating is that one of our members had already caught him trying to sneak in as he was leaving. He talked to him - asked if he was a member, explained that we were not staffed, showed him how to DM us to get a guest pass, and walked him out to his car.
He was literally given an easy way to do this the right way.
(BTW… this member is Tier 1. Dick R., thank you for always having our back. 👊)
While trying to identify the individual, we contacted the Celina Police Department to understand what the consequences would be if we turned the incident over to them – the answer was criminal trespass and theft of services.
Thanks to the help of our staff, we were able to identify him. After we contacted him and discussed the situation, he hung up on us… but ultimately came into the gym and paid the fee, with the alternative being turning the matter over to the appropriate authorities.
No apology… but hey, what did we expect? 🤷🏼♀️
For reference, all he had to do was DM us for a $15 guest pass. That’s it. No confrontation. No waste of our time investigating. No police involvement. No unnecessary drama.
We are a small business. We work our butts off to provide a great gym for our members and our community. We want people to enjoy this place, and we truly appreciate the honest, respectful and supportive people we get to see here every single day.
But rest assured, we will protect our business, our members and what we’ve worked so hard to build.
Do the right thing. It’s always easier. And if you do mess up, at least apologize. ❤️
