G Fit Gym

A few reminders for anyone who may not be aware:

Running G Fit for the last 7 years means working many jobs, every day. I'm a personal trainer, accountant, admin, cleaner, front desk, and everything in between. I alone foot the bill for the equipment, repairs, lights, water, rates, insurance and everything else. I'm on hand every day. I've just taken my first 4 days off in a row in 3 years. Even during the pandemic not only did I endure the stress and uncertainty of my business closing, I had a second job for my mental and financial health. I take 1 day "off" per week and on that day I still go to work and hoover, tidy weights which haven't been put away, do renewals, join up new members and answer calls texts and emails all unpaid. I also do this on every bank holiday, Christmas, Easter, when I'm feeling sick or when something goes wrong.

Please respect me enough to tidy the gym and equipment after yourself, leave things as you found them, renew memberships and send payments in a timely manner, be aware of the day and hour you're texting me or expecting me to respond. I'm receiving texts at 6am, 10pm, on Sundays etc and it's not fair. I'm a person, not a robot. Please try to organise yourself to have membership paid before it runs out. My monthly price is beyond reasonable for the days and long hours I am open to try to give everyone the best chance to train, and for the time I put into it. Paying on time and respecting the gym and me, is not up for debate. I know this seems like a rant but it's getting to the stage where people no longer consider me or my mental health, what I do on a daily basis to keep everyone happy and the impact its ultimately having on me.

Thank you for reading ❤️ Claire

The next person I catch leaving weights on bars or machines will probably have no punishment cos I'm too nice but you'll be the cause of my mental breakdown.

Please leave the gym tidy or go elsewhere 💪🏼 many thanks

Reopening tomorrow 💪🏼💪🏼

Just a few things to note

🏋️‍♀️ Anyone who wasn't an active member when I closed but would like access tomorrow please contact me

🏋️‍♀️ Please respect each other when using the gym, use the hand sanitisers, wipe down equipment and leave things as you found them

🏋️‍♀️ Yes I painted the toilet and yes my mum came behind me and fixed it and there is paint on the floor I cant get off. I have no further comments at this time

🏋️‍♀️ Any difficulties please contact me 07446845477. See you all tomorrow ❤️

See you all on Friday 🤓💪🏼

I honestly can't believe I'm typing this out, again, at 6am on a Saturday with puffy eyes from no sleep and the last 36 hours spent in a daze hoping this was a dream.

It wasn't a dream.

In the last 4 months I've been open, I've without complaint spent what I had to on cleaning products to make everyone comfortable as well as my own time dancing around with a hoover and mop, at least once a day, keeping an eye on numbers and sanitizing, washing and tidying to keep everyone as safe as possible, while watching helplessly as memberships declined because of news scaremongering.

Yet here I am again closing what I've worked for for 6 years, with no financial plan in place for me nor a logical or thought out explanation of why I'm doing so.

I feel utterly bullied, belittled and labelled worthless by those in power, our so called "leaders" when all this time I thought I was helping people with their physical and mental ailments, improving people's immune systems, mental wellbeing and quality of life by giving them a safe, clean and friendly environment to come to and exercise. But sure what do I know 🤷‍♀️

At 11pm on Thursday 26th the system will only grant access for myself for 14 days. I know everyone is upset and angry about this but we will get through it as we did in March 🙏🏼

I understand everyone is at different stages with memberships and if you would like me to freeze yours until reopening please contact me and I will do so. Please take the next week to train and enjoy the gym as much as you can.

The number of drinks I'll be having if we ever get a gym Christmas outing this year 🍻 anyone else...?

If you's could all stop playin touch rugby with the sprays or whatever the f*ck you's are doin to break so many caps 👌🏼 I'm close enough to a nervous breakdown this year... Thanks 🥰

Thanks everyone for your continued care in the gym and for cleaning after yourselves. Still 1 or 2 people who think they don't have to put things away which is disappointing. Some who haven't returned when I've confronted them. They're another gyms problem now 🤷‍♀️ I'm not here to clean up after man sized toddlers. 👶🏼 I want everyone to take pride in the gym as I do and leave it clean and safe for the next person ❤️

Just a friendly reminder... If you think I'm petty enough to watch hours of camera footage to catch guilty people, you're right 👍

Hi everyone, just to clarify G Fit is still running as normal. Please continue to be sensible around each other, sanitise, distance, put equip away, things you all know already.

Thank you so much for continued support, every single membership helps the gym stay open, I know it's a hard day for a lot of people and an even worse year, please look after your mental health and your body. Reach out to me personally if you need to

Sadly the treadmill has had enough of 2020 and I can't say I blame it. Hopefully this will be rectified tomorrow 🤞

Apologies for the inconvenience
