Planet Fitness

Today I came in the gym, after completing 1 set I stopped to turn on some music in my ear pods. While searching through my phone to find a good playlist 1 of the employees walked over and asked, "How many more sets you got?" I responded with, "Not sure, I just got here." The employee then asked, "Well, why are you on your phone." At this point I'm wondering if there is nothing else that this employee can be doing other than harassing me? I advised him that I'm allowed to be on my phone, and now that I've answered his question and he could leave me alone. He then towered over me in an aggressive manner stating, "I work here, and I can ask you what I want!" At this point I stand and advise him to just leave me alone. The manager then comes over and says that I will have to come to the front. Once at the front, she says that I can no longer work out at this location. After I attempted to explain what happened she stated that I should leave or she would call the cops. Once the cops arrived, the manager lied and stated that this isn't the 1st time that this has happened with me, which was a LIE because I had only recently started my membership with Planet Fitness and even more recently started coming to this location. After I spoke with the cops other members came to me stating that this particular employee always harasses African Americans at this location and that they only come to this location temporarily because the Linden location is currently under renovation. I'm appalled at this interaction and the way of which it was handled. There is no regard for the customer and no accountability for employees.
