“Some staff need to learn how to smile and be customer friendly. If they don't want to deal with
people then they shouldn't be in their current positions.”
“Interestingly enough, the staff member i signed up with now completely ignores me when i visit the gym - i
guess once she signed me up that was it.”
“I feel that the trainers are not very friendly ,only if they need to sale there personal training to you will
they give you a smile.”
“the majority of the staff members are very welcoming. I have been a member of gyms
around my area before and i found that at XX Club the staff are a lot more welcoming and
friendly”
