July 24 (UPI) -- A Massachusetts man was arrested at a New Hampshire Planet Fitness after he did naked yoga on the public gym floor.

When police apprehended 34-year-old Eric Stagno, he told them he thought the Plaistow, N.H., fitness center was a "judgment free zone," a reference to the franchise's marketing slogan.

Officials say Stagno was naked when he used the gym's yoga mats.

"The story we got from witnesses was that the guy walked in, stripped down right there in front, left the clothes and belongings at the front desk, walked back and forth across the gym a couple of times and then settled in over at the yoga mats," Plaistow Police Capt. Brett Morgan told the New Hampshire Union-Leader.

Morgan told WBZ-TV that gym-goers who witnessed Stagno's routine said they felt "disgusted," "sick" and "unsafe."

Stagno was released on a $1,000 bail and will appear in court in September.
