Susan Butler v. John Saville and Planet Fitness Holdings LLC: A woman who broke her hip and wrist while working with a personal trainer at Planet Fitness has settled her lawsuit for $750,000.
Susan “Suzie” Butler, then 62, moved from California to Guilford in 2009 after her husband got a job with a biotech company. She was very active, and liked to swim, bike and rock climb. Soon after settling in to her Connecticut home, Butler joined a Planet Fitness gym in Branford and hired its head personal trainer, John Saville, for 10 sessions at about $75 an hour. For the first three sessions, things went fine.
