MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. - News of a planned fundraiser Friday night for President Donald Trump at Dolphins owner Stephen Ross' home in Southampton, New York, have caused a ripple effect throughout South Florida.
Clients of luxury fitness brands Equinox and Soul Cycle, which are both owned by Ross, weighed in Thursday on the controversy.
"I follow all of our instructors on social media," Soul Cycle customer Maggie Pequeno said.
"I think it's disappointing, mainly because Equinox and Soul Cycle pander so heavily to the LBGT community," Equinox customer Alex Kahn said.
In response to the backlash, Ross issued a statement Wednesday, saying he's known Trump for 40 years and they don't always agree.
