1: takes too long to repair equipment, especially stair-steppers
2: Gym users must not “claim” a station by leaving their belongings (such as phones, towels) on the station then walking away. This is unacceptable to grown-ups (ATGU).
3: Gym users must not fiddle with phones while seated on a station. I appreciate the occasional announcements to this regard, but these must be stepped up. Again, unacceptable to grown-ups (ATGU).
4: Gym users must not do the “cellphone mosey”, that is, obstruct walkways by walking slowly while using their phone. Sometimes they’ll walk into me while doing this. ATGU
5: Gym users, particularly those wearing headphones, must not slam weights. This results in up to 110 decibels of excruciating noise, damages my hearing and may not be good for the equipment. Extremely unacceptable.
Phones should be checked in.
6: There’s currently one 32kg kettle ball and one 36kg kettle ball. This has been the case for at least 6 years. Please purchase one more of each.

Sounds like the gym experience is turning into more of an obstacle course than a workout. Between dodging the "cellphone zombies" and dealing with the ear-splitting weight slammers, it’s a wonder you can get anything done. Could’ve been worse—at least they aren’t turning it into a social media studio. Hopefully, they take your suggestions seriously and bring a little more order (and equipment) to the place.
