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.
I think someone earlier was probably right when they said it was for safety reasons. Lots of pullys and machinery that could catch a loose skirt and injure someone. If the gym can show it was a legitimate safety concern then they will win this lawsuit.
