"We can't hire you. You'll be absent too much due to your monthly cycle." That's the text a job applicant received from a hiring manager at a gym owned by Equinox Holdings after she requested to reschedule a second-round interview for a front desk job. The applicant, who suffers from endometriosis, asked to delay the interview by a few days because of severe menstrual pain. Instead of accommodating her request, the gym declined to interview her further and hired a male applicant with no prior experience—despite her years of relevant experience working in similar roles at other gyms.
