Officers said the woman was able to push Carlisle hard enough where he tripped and fell down, allowing her to run out of the shower and call for help.
Cobb County Police arrived to the scene and arrested Carlisle after the victim gave a matching description.
The manager says while they haven't made any security changes since the incident, she says they make sure everyone who comes in is checked in.
"If something like that happened to me I would not want to come to the gym no more. It makes women feel very unsafe, that's not okay," Emely Luna, who works out at the LA Fitness, told Fox 5.
