Question:
Hi, I'm a single girl. I was wondering if it is yichud to go to a non jewish mixed gym. Regarding Shomer: My brother goes there regularly, and my friend also goes. The door is open to anyone, and the wall is fully glass window. I am not touching anyone. Just machines.
Thanks
Answer:
Hello,
From what you are describing, it isn't yichud, as anyone can come in at anytime, and there is a glass door thru with anyone can see in. There is however another issue here - tznius, often women in a gym are not dressed in an appropriate way, for men to see them. Especially since they are making all sorts of body movements, which can cause a man seeing then to have improper thoughts. Besides, you wouldn't want men looking at you in such a way, and you don't want to put yourself in a position that will lead to attracting the attention of the men there.
Best wishes
