NEW YORK, A New York woman who fell while performing a maneuver on a stripper pole at a workout facility is suing the fitness center, the woman’s lawyer said.

Sue Ann Wee said her injuries at the upper east side’s Crunch Fitness location in June kept her out of work for six months, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.

“It’s a dangerous maneuver, but if you tell somebody to do it, you have to be ready to spot them,” said Wee’s lawyer, Nicholas Warywoda, who added that Wee’s instructor prodded her to do the move. “The problem is not with these types of classes. The problem comes when you don’t properly supervise the people in those classes.”

Wee, an experienced tap and ballroom dancer, was hanging upside-down with her legs grasping the pole when she requested help from an instructor, the Daily News said.

“He (the instructor) just left her hanging,” Warywoda said.
