Fitness First Instructor’s Non-Dismissal for Sexual Harassment (Ire)
My Email to Fitness First UK
Unfortunately, the Fitness First Contact Us page does not allow for a long comment so I was forced to send to an email address on their Press Office page with the following note:
Re: Guidelines Re Sexual Harassment by a Fitness First Instructor
Dear Ms. Leggetter/Sims/Leggie,
I must apologize because this is not a press related matter, but may I
impose on your kindness and request that you forward this to the
proper personnel, whose email addresses are not provided in the
website.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Lorna Lopez
Conclusion
The usual management set-up is triangular by nature, so if your complaint does not work on a particular level, the option is to go up.

Mr. Richards, the company policies are clear re sexual harrassment. You must have a different view of the issue or it’s an issue you deem not important enough to take a closer look. Let ’s check the professed company values which include Ethical Behaviour, Integrity and Honesty. Would you say that X is an example of a professional instructor who exhibits these values? I wonder how, when as a teacher he resorts to sexual innuendos as a habitual way to speak/instruct/teach paying members?
To the members of Fitness First, both male and female, you can put a stop to this. If you feel that it’s too much trouble, it is not. There are better ways to inspire and relate to people. Unless this person is in the sex trade, why tolerate a teacher in the fitness profession who uses sexually-laden tones as a way to do his job?

Really confused na bakit di pa nila tinatanggal yang instructor na yan…why? Think of what’s best for the company and clients…not the other way around. Bad for business yan!
