Original Comment I am writing in regards to an incident occurring around 10:00 am on 2/29/16 at the Finneytown Oh location at 8501 Winton Rd, Cincinnati OH 45231.<br /> This type of behavior of the &quot;thug&quot; crowd is becoming common place at this location and being allowed here. I was using a cable machine while another patron was working out at a nearby location and began his normal loud &quot;rapping&quot; while working out. This is an obnoxious behavior none the less and makes many other patrons annoyed and un easy around people like this. I politely asked the man if he would mind to not do that while working out as he was bothering myself and I could clearly see others in the area. The man immediately became hostile and told me to &quot;mind my own f*cking business unless I want to get knocked out&quot; and if I didn't want to &quot;shut the f*ck up&quot; we could go into the locker room and fight.<br /> The trainer of this location immediately came over upon hearing this man yelling and did his best to de-escalate his yelling. I spoke to the trainer for a moment to state that I only asked him if he would mind not rapping out loud while working out. I therefor moved to the other side of the gym to the free weights, which I was immediately followed by this man. At this time he went over to a group of which I believe were his friends and the group started cussing and threatening me. I proceeded to do my best at this time to just ignore the situation but the group then came over and stood around me yelling that they &quot;found a new work out location&quot;.<br /> Once again I stopped what I was doing and began to relocate back to another side of this gym. Once again I was followed by the same group of &quot;thugs&quot;. Threatening me and harassing me and telling me I'm going to again get &quot;knocked the f*ck out&quot; for not minding my own business. At this point I promptly left the business for fear of my safety.<br /> These patrons must immediately have their membership revoked and these types of people should not be permitted at a facility like this. The signs on the wall clearly state to keep phone conversations to the lobby, keep isle clear, and &quot;non gymitation&quot;. This type of behavior seems to be becoming common place for this location. Many evening I have left here and have seen others leave due similar behavior. Groups of loud gang type individuals taking over areas of the gym and or several workout stations or machines at a time and have forced myself or others off of machine because they were quote using it or cycling on and off of it with other machines or free weights. At this time I do not feel safe at this location until behavior of this nature is asked to leave or revoked. If an incident of this nature does occur again at this facility I will not hesitate to call the police here and file harassment or threating charges against people. <br /> I, as well as other should not be subjected to having to listen to groups rapping vulgarly out loud or being made to feel uneasy or fear for our safety at any giving point at a gym.<br /> One staff member, the trainer did do his best to try to calm down this group, but I was feeling that even he was feeling uneasy about the attitude and threats these individuals were making.<br /> I would like to be contacted about this type of behavior being allowed on these premises and what steps will be taken in the future for issues like this.
