A woman says a Manhattan gym left her hanging when she tried a new workout: pole-dancing.
Sue Ann Wee has filed a lawsuit against the companies that run the Crunch fitness center chain. Lawyer Nicholas Warywoda says Wee seriously hurt both her shoulders when she slid down a pole and fell onto the floor while taking a Crunch pole-dancing class in June.
Warywoda says Wee told an instructor she couldn’t hold herself up during an upside-down maneuver, but the instructor didn’t help her.
Wee is seeking unspecified damages. She says the gym chain didn’t supervise the pole-dancing class properly.
New York-based Crunch declined to comment.
The steamy dance form has become increasingly popular as exercise in recent years.
