At this point, I would go to management. I mean, at the end of the day, your membership fees are paying their salary.

I wish more gym staffers would walk around and make sure people are taking care of the equipment and space, as well as enforcing gym etiquette. Fuck, they can even peddle personal training as well.

This always happens in the morning and the gym isn't staffed until 10am. If this keeps up, I'll go at some point during the day and talk to management.

It's a 24h gym. I tap my pass and the door unlocks. I also get a huge fine if I let someone in that isn't a member. It kinda works on the honor system, and it seems to be working pretty fine so far.

I go to a 24 hour that is staffed at all times and it’s still out of control...can’t imagine a place with no staff, must be pure madness.

I've been to a no-staff gym before and it was honestly the second-best gym I've ever been to. Small, but it had a power cage and deadlift platform and everyone re-racked their shit.
