California woman says gym revoked her membership for calling out man in women’s locker room
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A California woman says her gym membership was revoked after she objected to a man repeatedly entering the women’s locker room at a Los Angeles Gold’s Gym.
Tish Hyman posted a video on social media showing a confrontation that took place on Nov. 2. The man, who is seen walking toward the women’s restroom as other members express concern, has reportedly been using the women’s locker room for weeks.
Hyman says multiple women filed complaints, but nothing changed.

“I need everyone to hear this,” Hyman wrote on Instagram. “Multiple women and I have repeatedly made written reports on this man for coming into our women’s locker room harassing us, and the gym staff has done absolutely nothing!!”
Hyman said she was terrified when the man entered the locker room behind her and allegedly called her a “b—-” in a deep, angry voice.
“I RAN OUT INTO THE GYM SCREAMING THERE IS A MAN IN THE REST ROOM!!” she wrote. “I called for help and men in the gym got involved, THANK GOD and the staff finally decided to act.”
Staff eventually removed the man from the area, but they kicked Hyman out, too.
“They removed him — but then they turned around and terminated my membership too, as if I was being punished for speaking up,” she wrote. “I WAS LITERALLY SCARED. THE WOMEN IN THE GYM ALL AGREED WITH ME. MANY were relieved that someone finally said something out loud.”
Hyman added: “Should we keep giving gyms our money if they won’t protect us? IS IT TIME we CANCEL our GYM memberships until they understand that women’s safety isn’t negotiable!??”

Tish Hyman: ‘I’m being punished for not wanting to be naked in front of men in the restroom.’
Later, on her Instagram stories, Hyman lamented losing her gym membership and detailed the online harassment she’s since received from people calling her names like “TERF” (trans-exclusionary radical feminist).
“I’m so sad right now because I just feel like I’m being punished for speaking up. I feel like I’m being punished for not wanting to be naked in front of men in the restroom,” she said. “I feel like I’m being assaulted for not wanting to do this. It’s not right.”
Another gym member posted video of Hyman after her removal, in which she is seen speaking out loudly to others nearby.
“Everybody saw that man in the f—ing locker room,” she said. “No one’s saying s—. And I’m f—ing done with it.”
OutKick’s Riley Gaines shared the footage on X, praising Hyman for refusing to stay silent.
“If we saw boldness like this back in 2020, this insanity would’ve never been allowed to fester like it has,” Gaines wrote. “God bless you for speaking the truth loudly.”

Hyman has documented other incidents involving the same man. In a video posted last week, the individual is seen walking through the locker room wearing a sports bra and reportedly told Hyman she should leave the locker room because “straight women like d—, and they’re probably looking at me more than you.”
Keep in mind underage girls also use this locker room.
Gold’s Gym Beverly Center, where the incident occurred, was acquired by EōS Fitness last week. OutKick reached out to both Gold’s Gym and EōS Fitness for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
It’s worth noting, though, that many gyms have policies prohibiting the use of cameras or recording devices in locker rooms, and the company could cite that rule as justification for terminating Hyman’s membership.
Just Another Day In California
Under California law, individuals are allowed to use restrooms and locker rooms that align with their self-declared gender identity. That includes gyms.

“You have the right to use the restroom consistent with your gender identity… both in public settings, like schools, and at your workplace,” California’s Attorney General states in its official “Know Your Rights” guidance.
Hyman is now urging others to speak up and to consider walking away from gyms and other establishments that fail to protect women.
“Men, think of your wives, sisters, mothers and daughters,” she wrote on Instagram. “Stop men from bullying, harassing and assaulting women in locker rooms.”

San Francisco taqueria El Faro looks to sell, saying their rent has nearly doubled
San Francisco taqueria El Faro, credited with inventing the super burrito, may be forced to sell its restaurant, citing an extreme rent increase.
Esther Harkreader has lived in the Mission District neighborhood for 20 years. For her, it’s like home.
“I don’t even have to say anything. I just walk in and say, ‘Hi.’ And they say, ‘How many?’ And they make my food. They know me. They are good neighbors,” Harkreader said.
El Faro has been in the Mission since 1961, known for its famous super burrito. But as the economy booms in San Francisco, so does the rent. The daughter of the family-owned business says her mother was caught off guard by the rent increase.
“To our surprise, it was almost a double raise, so it was like 73% increase after we did some math,” Patricia Kocourek. “(My mother) spent her adult life coming from Mexico here. She’s very attached sentimentally.”
Customers, like Harkreader, can feel that community connection firsthand.
“She has given me free burritos on my birthday before, and they’ve become good friends, I feel like, you know? I read the story last night, and I almost cried,” Harkreader said.
Ce’Myah Bacchus attends a nearby school in the neighborhood and says the owners always take care of her, even when she is short on cash.
“I’m pretty sad, honestly, because it’s been here for so long. The burritos are so great. And the people there are just so nice. Any time I don’t have enough, they give me a discount,” Bacchus said.
The restaurant was able to pay rent for the month of April, but they say the future remains uncertain.
Currently, El Faro is listed on Facebook Marketplace for $225,000. They say so far, they haven’t gotten any offers close to their asking price.

Seattle roars as 36,128 watch U.S. debut new Lumen grass in 1-0 loss to Japan
SEATTLE — Maika Hamano scored and Japan beat the U.S. women’s national team 1-0 in a friendly on Tuesday tight to snap the Americans’ 10-game winning streak.
The loss was the first for the U.S. since Oct. 23, 2025, a 2-1 setback to Portugal, and marked the first time the Americans lost in a shutout in 42 games.

The U.S. had won 10 straight matches for the first time since 2023 after its 2-1 victory against Japan on Saturday.
Before Saturday, Japan had won the last meeting with the United States 2-1 in the 2025 SheBelieves Cup final.
Hamano fooled Lilly Reale, and then booted a left-footed shot over goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce’s outstretched left hand in the 27th minute.

U.S. coach Emma Hayes made sweeping changes to the lineup she had used on Saturday in San Jose, resting players including Sophia Wilson and Trinity Rodman, who started in the previous game.
Wilson and Rodman entered as substitutes in the 65th minute, as did Tierna Davidson and Gisele Thompson. Davidson had not played for the United States since February 2025, after tearing her ACL in a match with Gotham FC last March.
Wilson played for the second straight match after the birth of her daughter. She had not played for the U.S. since October 2024.
Tuesday marked the first time the U.S. women’s national team played on the new grass that has been installed at Lumen Field for this summer’s World Cup. The women’s team had not been to Lumen since 2017 because of the stadium’s artificial turf.
The announced crowd was 36,128 for the game, which broke the record for a standalone women’s match in Seattle. Megan Rapinoe’s retirement match with the Seattle Reign in 2023 drew 34,130 fans.
