Singer Tish Hyman was banned from Gold’s Gym in Los Angeles after she complained about a man using the women’s locker room.

She took to her Instagram account on November 3, 2025, and shared with her followers that, despite multiple reports about the man, the gym staff had failed to take any action. She added that he has disrespected her many times, claiming that he called her a “b*tch.”

Hyman added that the gym finally took some action when she raised her voice against the injustice. The man was removed and then Gold Gym terminated her membership as well.

She ended her note by urging women to cancel their gym memberships if the gyms fail to provide a safe environment for women. In her Instagram note, she suggested that gyms should build dedicated “trans restrooms” to address such issues.
