QUESTION: Is Bad Body Odor Grounds For Losing A Gym Membership?

That was the case for Shawn Morales, an event producer and actor from Los Angeles who lost his Gold's Gym membership. We ask you, Patch users, is the gym correct?

QUESTION: Should a gym revoke a membership because of the person's bad body odor?

That stinks.

It least that's what one Los Angles man - event producer, model and actor Shawn Morales - is saying after he lost his membership to Gold's Gym?

The reason? He fellow gym members apparently couldn't hack his body odor, according to the Huffington Post. Here's what he posted on his Facebook page:

2day I was told by an employee at @GoldsGym that they are going to REVOKE my membership because "10 members have complained about my BO"...?

We've all gotten a whiff of someone's bad BO. Some of us take it. Others can't stand it.

But do you think it should be grounds for revoking a gym club's membership? Are there hygienic concerns involved?

Tell us in the comments below, Patch users, what do you think. I'm also curious to hear about some of the worst instances of body odor that you've encountered in a public place.
