My name is Rebecca. I am a professional female body builder, I have taken part in several competitions and have won first place.
That’s me in the picture (middle).

I am a UK citizen and I had previously spent time studying Fitness Training and Body Health in Australia, I passed my exams and was employed at a Gym as a PT and class instructor.
Sadly when the Covid Pandemic reached Oz I found myself having to return to the UK.

I am disciplined and strive to maintain my body fitness, so when back in England I signed up for a PureGym package. I chose a subscription that allowed me to utilise gym space without having to enrol with a course instructor…….

Unfortunately I faced and encountered continual and persistent sexual harassment the offender was a male PT hired by PureGym whilst simultatneously being self employed.
I was continually approached, followed and harassed by him. He entered the female toilets /changing / showering area numerous times whilst I was alone.

PureGym have a ‘protocol’ in place for safety. However this did not extend to my safety.

I followed the complaints procedure and my experience was minimised and not treated accordingly.
Due to an escalation in events I had no option other than to seek legal recourse.

In pursuing justice for myself I have encountered many concerns about Pure Gyms business Model, and the many similar themed patterns of behaviour that other women have encountered posted on social media.

PureGyms failure to follow protocol and safeguard their customers/members does not only effect me, it could potentially effect any Woman, Man or young adolescent who sadly finds themselves in a similar situation.
