Broken unsafe rowers and watt bikes
The maintenance managers are not doing their jobs at the Umhlanga Virgin Actives -both La Lucia and Gateway.
La Lucia Rowers and watt bikes are not properly maintained. I tried 3 watt bikes earlier this week. 1st bike - The cleat on the pedal was loose and unsafe. 2nd bike - Handlebar can’t move back and forwards. 3rd bike - Magnetic resistance can’t be set on 2,3,4 or 5 I have no doubt I will find problems with the other bikes. The rowers are ancient and rusted. The top button is not working on one so you can’t choose a workout or do intervals. The rest are cranky and broken. I am very disappointed.
Gateway After the bad experience at La Lucia we decided to try Gateway and that experience was worse. Rowers were also broken. One of the watt bikes did not have a water bottle cage and the other watt bike had no numbers on the magnetic resistance. Come on guys!! Why is is so bad in Umhlanga?? We have state of the art fully maintained equipment in Johannesburg. Has everybody forgotten about Umhlanga. We all pay the same fees.
