BB_Bino Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Looking for a bit of advice. I'm a gym instructor.....better not say where.....and our manager informed us today that, even though the gym will be open during a certain time, the Gym Staff will not be required. Surely this is against some kind of health & safety law, having people working out when there is no qualified gym or fitness staff required. Does anybody know where I could find any info on this??

The Gym are open 24hrs and it's only the cleaners who are about in the middle of the night. I'm sure they will have checked the legal side of things in this compensation culture before doing that throughout the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoversMad Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 When you go to the gym remember to set your locker code to the same as your bank account pin, then leave your card in there... Oh and a nice expensive watch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grass Is Greener. Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I go to Pure Gym when I finish work at 2 in the morning, there's only a cleaner kicking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Let me get this right - At Pure Gym there are no staff around to prevent some over ambitious eejit trying to bench-press way to much and choking to death with a barbell over their throat? Good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB_Bino Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Cheers for the help folks. Yip, looks like it's becoming the done thing. Doesn't seem right to me but I suppose that's the modern world and cost cutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleash The Nade Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I'm a member of The Circuit gym in The Mariner Centre in Falkirk, which is where you may in fact work ! They have gym attendants there who mainly spend the vast majority of their time sitting on their arses fannying about with the computer. There's times I've been there when people have obviously been using machines wrongly, are doing exercises which could cause injury or walk away from machines without wiping then down having sweated all over them and the staff see this happening but do f**k all. From my experiences and in many cases the majority if gym instructors are lazy fuckers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Attendants they work at the fives are some bunch, we are the last on and they literally chase us out the building. Toilets locked, all the doors bar one locked at the front. There's five doors for some reason and every week the leave a different one locked or unlocked so it's like the Krypton Factor. They also feel the need to pump up or totally neglect the footballs so they resemble a dog chewed mess or a shiny yellow cannonball. Five pound for this shite, I feel like saying that to them but always chicken out as I suppose it's better than nothing. Other centre is much better because there's a couple who play themselves.

BB_Bino Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Unleash The Nade - I don't work there but don't live a million miles away from it. I've heard some real scare stories so this does not surprise me. As for Gyn Staff......hey, it's like every job, some are good and some are bad. What I will say though, if councils continue to pay Minimum Wage for such jobs then they're going to attract people who take no pride in the place or the job they do. I'm pretty fortunate in that I don't work in that environment however, for someone who, like yourself, has to use the facilities of people who do them I do feel your pain.
