The gym owner advertises his gym as having air conditioning for hot days, but fails to mention that he only recirculates the members’ exhaled CO2 and sweat within the enclosed space. In a video on WhatsApp, he stated that he intentionally does not let fresh air into the gym so he can keep the air conditioning running, which can be harmful to health. Despite repeated requests to ventilate the space regularly, he said it wasn’t worth the trip for him. He ultimately reneged on his promises to address the issue when, after I officially filed a complaint with the company to finally find a solution ensuring sufficient fresh air is supplied during workouts, he terminated my membership without notice and without explanation. Incredibly ridiculous and unprofessional behavior.
Addendum: The operator’s first response to my Google review—“Thanks for your review. That’s kind of embarrassing”—confirms his unprofessional behavior, as he’s simply making fun of the situation instead of addressing the actual problem.
Now he’s posted a new response in which he also makes it clear that he has no intention of fulfilling his obligation to provide fresh air: “Thanks for your review. If you have a problem with CO2 in the middle of summer, you shouldn’t be working out in a closed room. There are other gyms, too. No one’s forcing you to work out at this gym 🤷♂️”
I find this attitude unacceptable. I’ve forwarded the complaint to the appropriate authorities.
