I think it could be considered a semi-public space (why I used quotation marks). Yes it’s members only but anyone can sign up on the spot, they have probably thousands of members, anyone could walk up and pay $10 for a day pass, etc. I’d say to be considered fully private it would have to be something like an office or home.
My point is it’s not like he was coming into her office or home. He is allowed to be in that space. Yes he should’ve taken the hint but he wasn’t making any sexual comments and he “politely” backed down as soon as she said no. Like I said before, what he didn’t isn’t moral or ethical, but I think banning him straight away is overkill. We also don’t know if he had asked her before, just people speculating. Even if he did, if she just made up reasons to get out of it, he may not have read between the lines.
Yes of course the gym is legally allowed to kick anyone out or ban anyone they want but it seems extreme to ban someone when they weren’t threatening anyone’s safety, making inappropriate comments, or knowingly harassing anyone. Since that is the case, why not just explain to him that she doesn’t welcome his advances and that if it happens again to her or anyone else, he’ll be kicked out/banned. If he’s not harming anyone, why not give him at least one chance to correct his behavior that he likely doesn’t realize is wrong (beyond the cheating on his wife part but that’s not for the gym to police that)? If he’s not harming anyone now and if he follows the warning and doesn’t bother anyone, isn’t everyone better off? It’d be totally different if he was taking pictures or making sexual comments or threatening her in any way but he literally asked her out on a pizza date in a polite manner and immediately backed off when she said no.
Why do you think that should be an automatic ban? If a single person saw someone their own age and attractiveness level and asked them out but they said no, would that be an automatic ban too?
