1 /5 Ell: A few months back the blonde female manager was clearly talking ish or making fun of me. After a few incidents of her clustering up with her coworkers every time I came in looking at and snickering about me I decided Id bring it up rather than stop using PF because an employee was bullying a guest??!?
When I went to the front desk she informed me SHE was the manager. I then said I noticed that some employees were clearly talking bad about guests. She responded, "was it you??" I said yes, and she said "was it me???" I said yes, she then tried to get me to step aside to chat with her. Possibly away from cameras. I just walked out. Assuming a gym that claims to be inclusive will understand the assignment. After, she did stop talking about me in front of me and went to fake smiling when I came and left.
I opted to let it go.
Today there was a young gentleman cleaning the womens locker room. He was in fact minding his business, but many men would not be that respectful. There were a few women in the locker room including myself. When a young woman looked at me concerned and another woman came out of the shower area I realized that I needed to ask about this policy. Knowing there were (3) women working at the time. This time I spoke with a darker haired older woman. She dismissed my concern immediately, saying "its his job".
The young new male employee came to the desk and was very respectful validating my concern. He also is one of two employees Ive ever seen actually cleaning properly, working. There are usually (3) or more people just standing around at the front desk (plenty of time to watch and criticize guests) while there is dust and debris on the floor and caked around the walls in the stretching area and probably unseen fungus on everything. Id like to thank him for taking such care and for handling my concerns so professionally. I hope he or the other hardworking employee will be promoted asap. Because this management is disrespectful at best.
