A naked man arrested at Planet Fitness may have been trying to challenge the gym chain's judgment-free policy.

The Boston Globe reports Eric Stagno, 34, of Haverhill, Massachusetts, was arrested at a Planet Fitness in Plaistow, New Hampshire, on Sunday. Police said he removed all his clothing and did yoga poses in the nude, prompting complaints at the crowded gym.

"When officers arrived, they found him there, completely nude: on his knees in a yoga-type position," police Captain Brett Morgan told the Globe. "He walked into the gym, stripped down at the door, then proceeded to walk back and forth a couple of times before settling in on the yoga mats."

Morgan said fitness members and staff described Stagno as unaware that his nudity was making others uncomfortable, even as he checked his physique in the mirror. Many witnesses said they felt "disgusted, sick and unsafe" as Stagno worked out on a yoga mat.

When approached by police, Stagno said he thought Planet Fitness was a "judgement-free zone."

The gym's website promises customers "a judgement free experience": "At Planet Fitness, you belong. Our non-intimidating, welcoming and supportive environment fosters a sense of community among our members."

"It's not a clothing-free zone," Morgan told the Globe.

CBS reports Stagno was arrested without incident and charged with indecent exposure/lewdness and disorderly conduct. He was released on $1,000 bail is due back in court Sept. 21.

Morgan told the Globe that Stagno had "some drug paraphernalia in his possession" when he was arrested, but it wasn't clear if he was under the influence. He was evaluated by first responders but refused further treatment.
