VIDA Fitness, the trendy, popular gym chain whose membership includes immense swaths of D.C.’s same-sex attracted community, has announced plans to install surveillance cameras in men’s locker rooms to help combat crime.
Michaela Brown, the general manager of VIDA Fitness’s Logan Circle gym, announced the plans to install the cameras on the morning of August 20.
