Muslims Everywhere Are Pissed After Planet Fitness Makes HUGE Stand Against Islam Recently, a New Mexico Muslim woman is speaking out against Planet Fitness, claiming that she was kicked out of a gym in Albuquerque for wearing a head scarf. Tarainia McDaniel reportedly told gym staff that the scarf was an essential part of her religion, but was told to go find a baseball cap instead. McDaniel told reporters that she has gone to other Planet Fitness gyms and has never had a problem before. In fact, she asserts that it wasnt until she entered the Irving Boulevard location that she was turned away. She was told that the head covering didnt meet the gyms dress code. According to reports, McDaniel is a Muslim convert. She was brought up Roman Catholic but began practicing Islam as a 16-year-old. Now, shes raising her own two children as Muslims. Her lawsuit, filed under the New Mexico Human Rights Act and the Unfair Practices Act, claims that Planet Fitness had no legitimate reason to deny her entry. The companys attorney, Erika Anderson, denies the claims, stating that Planet Fitness has always prohibited members from wearing jeans, work boots, bandanas, skull caps or revealing apparel. At Planet Fitness, our policy is, and always has been, that members are allowed to wear head scarves for religious reasons in our clubs, the company claimed in a statement. They are asserting that they were not informed that the scarf was worn for religious purposes. Still, McDaniel maintains that she talked to employees about her beliefs.
