A man was just arrested at a Planet Fitness gym in New Hampshire after he took off all of his clothes and started working out naked.
Eric Stagno, 34, was arrested and charged with indecent exposure, lewdness and disorderly after he stripped down at the gym in Plaistow last Sunday afternoon.
“The story we got from witnesses was that the guy walked in, stripped down right there in front, left the clothes and belongings at the front desk, walked back and forth across the gym a couple of times and then settled in over at the yoga mats,” police Capt. Brett Morgan said.
When police arrived at the gym, they found Stagno naked in a “yoga-type position.”
“The only comment he made was that he thought it was a judgment-free zone, apparently referencing their slogan,” Morgan said.
Morgan went on to say that even though the gym was full of people, Stagno seemed unaware that his behavior was disturbing others.
“Some of the comments some witnesses gave were that they felt uncomfortable, disgusted, sick and unsafe,” Morgan said. “There were more witnesses coming forward than we could take names.”
Some witnesses said that they assumed that Stagno was either drunk or on drugs.
“To me, it’s like, ‘What did you smoke before you came to the gym?’ No, I don’t think you should be at the gym naked,” said gym member Kat Lancaster.
Morgan explained that Stagno “did have some drug paraphernalia in his possession,” but it was unclear if he was under the influence.
The Planet Fitness website states that their facilities are a “Judgment Free Zone,” where members “feel comfortable regardless of their fitness level.”
“It’s not a clothing-free zone,” Morgan pointed out.
