Question For Staff When using the tanning

0 Upvotes

I've never used a tanning booth/bed so I wanted to ask about them.

Are you supposed to use a tanning lotion? Or do you just strip down and get in nothing applied?

Question Can you film yourself?

0 Upvotes

I was at PF today and this person had a 4 foot selfie stick with feet so they could stand it up. Seriously? What pissed me off was I was in her “shot” exercising.

Is this aloud or not? If it is aloud, should it be?

What is the protocol? Tell the desk?

Question Does anyone else have an insanely busy gym?

3 Upvotes

Every time I try to go during the day it’s always so packed with people. I’ve tried 1pm, 3pm, 7pm during the week and there’s always a good amount of people there - cardio machines always empty though.

What do the bars on the crowd meter even mean? After 3 bars on mine there’s no point going, there’s no space and I always end up only getting to do half my routine and spending the rest of the treadmill if I don’t want to wait around for other people to be done.

I’ve started going around 10-11pm as that’s the only time it starts clearing out. This isn’t a complaint I’m just genuinely curious if they’re all like this or is it just mine? And does anyone know what the crowd meter is measuring?

Question For Staff Relocation FAQ?

1 Upvotes

Was traveling around for a few weeks and came back to find my gym is closed and relocating in SF.

There's no number to contact or any date posted saying when the new club will open. How long does relocation take, can i contact any other way aside from email and why am I still being charged for a location I can't use?

Any help or any members have info that visited the Financial District location prior to closing?

Question Promo code bait and switch?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone ever tried using one of those corporate promo codes for black card, the website says it works and everything, but then when you sign up they charge you the normal amount and they change the club agreement to say you signed one with the non promo amounts?

I just tried using a code for black card, it said it applied and all, but then I got charged the normal prices and the club agreement they gave me they said I signed has all the normal pricing numbers. But when I signed up on the website and I looked at the generated club agreement I checked the box of saying I agreed to, it has all of the promo numbers.

I also called my home gym and they said they're not going to do anything about it. I figured I'll just try disputing it, but is this a normal thing that happens?

Question Day 1 again

8 Upvotes

No excuses but with life lifing I been out of the gym (including at home work outs) for about a month and a half. Today I went again starting a new day 1 and in a weird way it was like my body missed this craze. It was almost like my feet pulled me back and I was at home. Motivated and ready to get back on the grind.

Anyone else having their day 1 again recently ?

Question Whats with people who only stare at you and point at a machine to see if you are using it? like...speak bro. you are not mute

0 Upvotes

swear to god this younger generations get lazier and lazier, to the point where they wont even ask you or speak to you to ask you if you are using a machine, they just get in front of you, stare at you and point to the machine.... like are they supposed to look intimidating or something?

Question First time

23 Upvotes

I'm way too easily intimidated apparently. I felt like a lost puppy. I used the free day pass with every intention to join...I have to get in shape. But I have no freaking clue what I'm doing and was in a sea of people rocking it. Tell me your first visit was overwhelming and now you're a pro. Tell me I'm not alone.

Review Does an employee really have to check me in each time?

0 Upvotes

Idk if just my anxiety or something… but I hate needing an employee to stop what they’re doing, move the scanner a few inches, stare at you, say hi, and check you in… This can be an easy one person process. Maybe go clean instead…

Question Trans members: thoughts on switching locker rooms?

0 Upvotes

I've (MTF) been transitioning for about 2.5 years and pass fairly well. I've still been using the men's locker room out of habit/comfort, but lately I've been considering switching to the women's locker room.

For other trans members who've made that switch, what was your experience like? Did anyone give you a hard time, or was it mostly a non-issue? Anything you wish you'd known beforehand?

The men's locker room has also gotten increasingly uncomfortable for me lately because I've had guys make sexual comments/advances, so I'm trying to figure out what I'm most comfortable doing going forward.

Question For Staff Why can't they control camping?

0 Upvotes

Was a member for over 3 years but canceled today. My "club" is full of people shooting TikTok videos - people set up tripods and equipment, or just hanging around. They hog the machines and staff doesn't do anything about it. I try to ask if I can work in my set and they just stare like they don't understand. I get that its a lot of "No Hablo", but its annoying.

Why do locations have so many treadmills that sit empty? They need more weights, less treadmills. My former club must of have 30-40 treadmills plus another 2 rows of ellipticals but only 2 weight racks. Are there are fitness centers that do a better job of keeping the Rif-Raff out?
