A 34-year-old man in New Hampshire apparently took Planet Fitness' slogan that it is a "Judgment-Free Zone" a little too literally this week.
Eric Stagno has been charged with indecent exposure and disorderly conduct after witnesses say he stripped at a Planet Fitness in Plaistow, New Hampshire, NECN reported.
Police say he walked back and forth and started doing poses on a yoga mat before telling officials that he thought he was in a "judgment-free zone."
Neither Stagno nor Planet Fitness immediately responded to Business Insider's request for comment.
Stagno is free on bail and is scheduled to be arraigned on September 21 in Plaistow District Court.
A reporter from Boston News posted blurred-out images of what appeared to be Stagno at the gym:
The story has taken off on social media. Some have joked that the incident is a good excuse to work out at home:
Planet Fitness is famously known for being a cheap gym chain that entices members with perks like free pizza and tootsie rolls. A membership starts at $10 a month for the use of one club.
Its low-cost memberships are luring in people who wouldn't otherwise have taken out a membership, according to Piper Jaffray analysts who said that 40% of Planet Fitness' 10.5 million members had never signed up for a gym before.
