Derrimut 24:7 Gym - Thomastown

Signed up here in June.The manager advised me that the yearly fee of $550 would be going up after the financial year (4 days at the time) to $750 so I'd better get in quick.It's now November and the fee has since been going down every month, it sits now at $200. Broke my trust from the start.Pro's The gym it's self is fantastic, lots of great up-to-date machines and it's massive.Big open spaces to work out/warmup.Female separate Gym. Harry who is an amazing PT who really helped push me and get me back into shape with a personalized training program.The girl who works on the weekdays is very friendly always saying hello and goodbye with a smile.Con'sThe clients who attend.Leave their weights everywhere, never have I once seen someone unload their machine. (to use a machine you have to unload 80kgs off the machine first)To find a dumbbell you have to pace around the entire gym because it could be anywhere.No one uses a towel or keeps the machines clean.There are two Yoga/workout mats which are completely destroyed.The music is so loud that is cuts through noise cancelling headphones.Clients using multiple machines at once, calling dibs by leaving their personal belongings (bag, phone) on other machines in their line of sight whilst they go to workout on another machine and have a go at you if you move their stuff so you can do your workout.There was a time where I saw one client had 6 kettlebells and 4 pairs of dumbbells in the corner leaving the rack half empty, and guess what? He didn't put a single one back, this is very common amongst clients.Someone even went as far as aggressively shoulder barging me as I was walking past with a load of open space, he walked toward me and drifted into the path I was walking and forced his shoulder at me, hit me and laughed, there was no one else around and bout 5 metres of space to pass each other.This isn't High School, the demographic of people who attend is really bad, not sure if it's the suburb or low price, or both?If you want a nice place to work out go somewhere else and pay the extra, the cheap price comes at a cost.SuggestionsNo point complaining without a suggestions I understand you can't just make people change so here are some ways to improve.Make strict rules on hygiene, (signs on every machine) have sanitizing stations everywhere and encourage those who don't use towels to sanitize their equipment.Signs to unload their machines and put weights back to their original place.Signs for one machine at a time, using multiple machines at once is unfair to everybody else who attends.Re-organizing the weights every morning for those who can't read or don't care.Make all of this clear in a new sign up terms and conditions and come down on people if they don't follow the gym rules.Buy new Yoga/workout mats and consider that on average you have 30-50 people at the Gym, so might need more than 2.Turn down the music a bit to give clients space to think, also customer friendly jukebox would be nice so you can gauge what music clients are into to tailor your playlists to more client based music.That is all.
