Original Comment My name is Dee Chambless I go to LA Fitness, Mission Grove, in Riverside with My Service Dog, Robbie.<br /> <br /> I participate in Yoga, Zumba, Water Aerobics and Raquetball. We are well known and greeted by hundreds of people every day.<br /> <br /> Many, Many people consider Robbie a mascot in each location.<br /> <br /> We have been very, very happy every minute we are there.<br /> <br /> Every once in awhile we meet someone who doesn't like having us. But those occasions are very rare.<br /> <br /> On Friday the Raquetball courts became full. A personal trainer, Rich Corona, was using one of the courts for personal training. I told him all of the other courts were full and asked if I could use his to play raquetball. He said &quot;yes, as soon as we are finished training.&quot; I went to the front and got a Trainer Manager, Mike. Mike came back with me and went into the court and told Rich Corona he would have to leave the court. Rich Corona said &quot;I will when I am finished training&quot;. Mike turned around and walked away. I went to the front again. This time I got Niki. She was busy. She was counting a deposit and she could not stop. When she finished she did come. In the mean time, Rich Corona continued training. He had a 25lb metal disk shaped weight on the floor. He had a female client lay on the floor, put her feet in the hole and drag the metal weight across the floor one direction and then the other. We let Niki know what we just saw. She went in and told Rich Corona to leave. Rich Corona told her &quot;I will when I am finished training.&quot; Niki said &quot;No. Now.&quot; Niki went back to her desk. Rich Corona left the rb court. As he was leaving he said &quot;Get your bar code. I'm gonna put a note on your file.&quot; I was on court 1. Rich was on court 3. I got my pass out of my gym bag. As I passed Rich I touched him and showed him my key. And said &quot;Head On&quot;. And I started walking for the front desk. When I got there I started telling Niki what had just happened and that Rich had threatened me. He came up behind me and started talking over the top of me. I made eye contact with Niki and asked her if she could hear Rich Corona was talking over the top of me. She nodded &quot;yes&quot;. I stopped and let him finish. He said I had touched him. He had witnesses and he wanted me taken out of the gym right now. And he wanted my Membership Revoked. Niki told me to go back to my court and continue my game. I did.<br /> I did not see Rich Corona since then until this morning.<br /> As I was leaving my rb court, I noticed all of the courts were full and Rich Corona was in court 3 doing personal training again. And there were players in front of his window waiting to play. I stopped by Niki's Desk and let her know. I went on to my water aerobics class and swimming. When I finished I check in with Niki again. She had talked with all the managers and assured me Rich Corona would not be in a RB court again. I am not unhappy with this gym or any of it's staff members. Niki has been awesome. I only contacted Corporate because this happened twice.<br /> <br /> Dee Chambless<br /> And Robbie
