In May an 18-year-old man was filmed allegedly masturbating at Virgin Active in Stellenbosch by a fellow gym-goer.
Many suspected he was masturbating after being aroused by a female gym member who was in the middle of a workout.
Members and social media users subsequently demanded the franchise take action.
The gym said the more appropriate action would be to have the man banned and for him to seek psychological help.
Taking to Twitter, Mdoda said her decision to cancel her membership was prompted by Virgin Active’s handling of the case, adding that she would “swim elsewhere”.
Virgin Active membership cancelled. That felt good.
