An Orthodox Jewish woman is suing the Lucille Roberts health-club chain for allegedly pitching a holy fit when she insisted on wearing a skirt during her workouts in Brooklyn. Yosefa Jalal, of Crown Heights, claims in court papers to be filed Friday that she was repeatedly harassed, threatened with arrest and ultimately had her membership revoked for following religious dictates regarding female modesty.

Oh, sugar! The name’s in the first line.
I don’t understand. What’s the problem?
Conform to American social norms? Go work out in Islamland, in a burka, a skirt, or spandex. Vegas says you would be dead within two days.
I think the gym was worried about liability if her skirt got caught in a stair-master, for example.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out there’s more to this story. I get the very strong feeling I’m hearing only one side of a two sided story.
“I’m hearing only one side of a two sided story.”
There are 3 sides to every story. just say’n.
Well, they could have told her that, rather than threaten arrest.

Perhaps it’s a safety risk as a skirt can get stuck in one of the machines.
That’s a Jewish saying, or something like that.
For sure. You read these stories and they portray one side as completely unrealistic, and the victim, pure as the driven snow. There has to be a lot more to this story, but the other side can’t talk, because they are being sued.
In a Zumba class?
“Well, they could have told her that, rather than threaten arrest.”
How do you know they didn’t give her ample warning? I can’t imagine they don’t have a membership contract with requirements of what can and can’t be worn on the workout equipment, how it is to be used, etc. As others have posted, it seems this is one side of a multi-sided story.
Not Guilty.
But at this point...If she were a lesbian having a tongue-wrestling contest with another girl or a muslim wearing a bin-bag they wouldn't say boo to her.
