Badly managed Mitchells Plain branch

I've been a member of Virgin Active for 9 years, and training mainly at the Mitchell's Plain branch for about 8. Because of I've trained here for so long I know what to expect already, ... untidy weights area, smelly rest rooms, unattended kids running around. I guess you get what you pay for, right? WRONG!!

Tonight took the cake. I decided to train with kettlebells, and because the gym was such a mess, and full of members everywhere, I moved to the empty studio instead, where I could swing the kettlebells in peace. Low and behold, halfway into my workout these kids start running around in the studio, chasing and hitting each other with foam rollers. Then started throwing each other with *****. I could not train in peace, cos I was far too concerned with accidentally bashing a kid's head in as I swung.

Next thing, the uncle/father comes in, AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. He just stood there watching them, as he enjoyed the cool air-conditioned air.

To add to this, I missed my workout target, as my heart rate had dropped, which means that I need to train AGAIN tomorrow, in order to meet it. I was so ****ed off as I had wasted my time!!!

On other days, you have 5 year olds following their dads around the weights area. This is not a play ground, and management needs to enforce the rules.

This branch needs to pull its finger as it is well and truly badly managed!!
