DON'T TOUCH THIS GYM WITH A TEN FOOT POLE!\r
\r
I am very displeased to hear that the Manchester babysitting service is no longer available. Any gym with fitness classes provides this service for a small monthly fee. I was happily paying my fee to attend classes, but now that this has been taken away I am no longer able to regularly work out. The classes are the only part of the gym I actually care about; I do not use the weights and I barely touch the cardio machines. However, I heard this club has lost a lot of business since they moved to the new location from Hooksett, which makes sense to me. I would gladly use the treadmills if they weren't squished so closely together. The new space is quite the down grade in square feet. Did you think we wouldn't notice??\r

The conditions in the group exercise room are also stifling! Too hot!!! We're dying in Zumba class so we open up both doors and steal the fan from the spinning room only to have other members complain and shut the doors on us, saying the music is too loud! Someone is going to slap a lawsuit on this club if they slip and fall or pass out, due to the extreme heat of the classroom. I would be able to overlook the cheap laminate flooring too, but when the room heats up they become a slippery nightmare. Sometimes I don't get a good workout because I am too busy guarding myself from taking a spill on the floor.\r

Many friends I have met through group exercise are also very displeased with this club. They use the Derry facility, which is worlds better, so they know what they're missing here. You should take the measures that are necessary to fix the existing Manchester facility. I asked the manager what they will be doing with the old babysitting room and he told me they're adding a juice bar. REALLY!?!? Don't add a juice bar; fix what you already have!! It's a real disgrace to build an exercise studio with two doors that can never be closed because of the heat. Do you think we like being told that our music is too loud?? This would be a non-issue if you turned on the A/C once in a while so we could leave the doors closed. Don't have group exercise if you're too cheap to regulate the room temperature.
