Kudos to the author for reporting the incident and going to the police. That there turned out to be video of the whole incident was very fortuitous and it sounds like the police have a copy now.
The instructor was fired. Presumably the ex-instructor is being charged with a crime? That part is missing from the story.
As to being punished for speaking up -- the gym terminated the authors membershhip because it seems to me that the author has an open/shut civil lawsuit against the gym, and they are expecting to get sued? I assume it's easy to find lawyers who would take this on contingency and probably reach a quick settlement.
