Hey Everyone, Carly here! 👋 💁🏼♀️
Firstly, I want to acknowledge my amazing team here at the gym, as a single parent running a big operation solo I am forever grateful to have you guys. As most small business owners, I wear 10 different hats from all the social media, admin, coaching and mentoring - thank you guys for supporting me and the dream that was a delusional vision of a 20 year old girl (surely that was only about 5 years ago haha). Not gonna lie - this place keeps me up at night sometimes haha...I'm so proud of the team and I know they are just as passionate as I am. Along with sharing the same vision and values, they all bring so much to our gym.. THANK YOU!
It's been awesome to see all the connections and relationships grow within our different pockets of the gym, the 6am crew, the seniors and over on the gym side - and I'm really looking forward to bringing us all together with more social occasions after the colder months.
Keep a look out! We have a dinner coming up on Monday 7 September 6:30pm at Smittys, all are welcome to join us!
Here is your feedback wrapped!
Thank you to everyone who did our member survery - it will remain open, so do feel free to use the survery link at any time for feedback, comments or concerns. We would much rather know if you're not happy about things so we can fix it 🙂
In response to the suggestions, comments:
☑️ Please make sure your shoes are clean - no mud or sand. We strive to keep our gym looking clean and tidy
☑️ Wipe down equipment after use - use the wipes provided
Wear deodorant
☑️ Please do not hog the machines doom scrolling on your phone (save that for the couch)
Be considerate when the gym is busier with time on the equipment
☑️ Read the room.. Make sure the conversations you're sparking up are reciprocated
Issues we have or will soon be rectified:
☑️ The outside lights; I'm working on getting them put on a sensor/timer so it's not pitch black
☑️ The inside gym lights will be fixed within the next few days - we are waiting on parts to arrive
☑️ Under the treadmills got deep cleaned
☑️ There will be a sanitary bin put in the toilet on the group fitness side in the next 2 weeks
☑️ I've put a chair in the toilet on the gym side for when people get changed
☑️ I've put some signs up around the gym to remind people about wiping down machines and not hogging equipment.
The shower: This is a massive investment for me at the moment, and it would mean losing the little stretching and abs area on the gym side (as this is where I had planned to put it). The council process is quite something, especially in a commercial building - I have actually already spent nearly $3,000 just on a fire engineers report in preparation for even applying to the council! So at this stage it's still a work in progress financially. I have considered getting an outdoor shower but this also brings new things to navigate - like security, with an increased risk of the back door being left open, slippery floors etc. With all that being said, it's definitely something I will keep in the pipeline and will keep you up to date with the progress.
Lastly, I want to acknowledge our members who make this space such an incredible place to be everyday. I am so privileged to say I love what I do and where I get to spent my time.
THANK YOU 💖🫶🏻
