There have been multiple thefts reported at the Secaucus LA Fitness in the past, specifically in the men's locker room: In 2018, gym members said bags, designer sweatshirts and jackets were going missing. The items were not always placed in lockers. Sometimes patrons would put them down and then go to use the bathroom or wash their hands, and then return just moments later to find them gone. A man who worked in housekeeping at the LA Fitness, and who had just been released from prison, was arrested on an unrelated charge. Read that story: Thefts Reported At Secaucus LA Fitness (2018)
