discrimination?

Question

I was memeber of a gym in Grand Bend, ON. Canada. I didn't bring an additional pair of shoes to workout the last time I went there . I was kicked out in a very gross maner because just of that. I made sure I did bring clean and dry running shoes on, but I arrived there half hour before 9 pm the time they were suppose to close. (they probable hated to stay open just because of me and closed that night as soon as I had to run away. Their floor was messy and nobody was there, so they took advantage and yelled at me plus they said they are cancelling my membership. they know I am inmigrant I was a paying member .

dont want to go there anymore, and they were supposed to close at 9 pm. The problem is that they are the owners, this is the only gym in Grand Bend Ontario Canada.
I just going to buy the machine to workout at home, but I am still in choke, I just cant believe how people can be so agresive.

Answer 1

I would suggest reading your membership papers, the agreement in which you signed to get the gym membership. If it states that you must bring an extra pair of running shoes than they had every right to politely ask you to leave, or ask you to return with them a certain time before the facility closes. They don't as far as i know have any right to cancel your membership for not bringing an extra pair of running shoes and they Absolutly cannot harrass, embarass, or abuse you in any way, it does not matter if you are an immigrant or not. If this did take place you may file a complaint with the better business bureau and contact a lawyer for the membership dues that they owe you for trying to cancel your membership, for your emotional distress and embarassment of how they treated you and possibly more. Talk to a lawyer, there is no excuse for a anyone, expecially one who is trying to run a reputible bussiness to treat you that way. Good Luck! :)

Answer 2

I would sue for discriminating against you, and do not wait call a lawyer now.
