No one at Crunch cares that I was sexually assaulted. On September 8, 2016, it was my birthday. I decided to come to Crunch 23rd Street and do a workout around the middle of the day, so I could enjoy the rest of my birthday and celebrate in the afternoon/evening. I got into the locker room and I was sexually assaulted by a guy I didn't know. Everything happen very quickly in that locker room and changed my life forever.
I went to the Crunch staff after it happened because I was having an emotional breakdown. I literally couldn't function or believe it happened to me. They did fill out an incident report in the manager's office, but they didn't offer any other help or assistance. They didn't contact the police or medical help for me. Instead, they told me to go on my own sometime to the police if I wanted to do anything legally. I could barely walk from the shock of everything, but when I arrived at the police station they told me Crunch should have called them to the location to come help me and not tell me to walk to a police station on my own. I had just experienced a horrific event and I was in no state to have to deal with this on my own.
No one at Crunch Gyms has ever contacted me since to see if I'm OK or offer any help. I've been going thru therapy to deal with everything and I have taken legal action thru the NYC DA against my attacker. I'm just disappointed that no one at Crunch Gyms cares about me or has bothered to check
