A former member of CrossFit Death or Glory in Newcastle has criticized the gym’s actions after her membership was terminated due to a photo she took in the changing room. Stephanie Harrison, an OnlyFans model, joined the gym earlier this month and posted a photo of herself in workout attire on her personal and work-related Instagram accounts. The post, which included the hashtag #crossfit, did not mention the gym’s name. However, WhatsApp messages suggest that the gym’s owner accused Stephanie of taking pictures for her OnlyFans page while at the gym, prompting her membership to be terminated immediately.
Stephanie requested evidence and was sent a screenshot of the photo from her backup Instagram account. Stephanie denied the allegation that she had posted the photo on her OnlyFans page and argued that she had only shared it on her Instagram account without mentioning the gym. However, the gym owner informed her that her OnlyFans profile was linked to her account. Later, the manager messaged her to clarify that their decision to terminate her membership was not a personal attack on her or her profession, but a measure to prevent people from linking the gym to her images.
Stephanie was shocked and felt discriminated against due to her line of work, stating that the gym’s decision went against the community spirit of CrossFit gyms. She added that there was no connection between the gym and the photo she posted, and she did not mention the gym in her Instagram stories.
