Fitness Director Adrian Antigua shares responses to a handful of member-submitted comments from August.
Subject: Recycling
Date: August 16, 2008
Comment: Please put recycling bins throughout the facilities, so many people go through water bottles here and we should all push to keep the earth green.
Answer: We are in the final stages of installing a recycling program at GHFC. We will be able to recycle plastic drink bottles, aluminum, glass and tin. There are containers throughout the club and they are identified with a blue recycling sticker on the front. Please help us to keep the trash and the recycling separate so that the program can succeed.
Subject: Towels
Date: August 23, 2008
Comment: Please put towels out throughout the facilities like you used to, don’t like having to grab a new gym wipe after each exercise I do.
Answer: We have upgraded our facilities from towels to Gym Wipes. The wipes enable the machines to be kept cleaner and more sanitary on an ongoing basis. The wipes can clean up to seven machines each before they lose their cleaning power. The wipes enable everyone in the gym to help keep it as clean as possible.
Subject: Website
Date: August 1, 2008
Comment: Maybe you could have a web posting or a link for people to find partners for tennis or other outside activities
Answer: We used to have a forum on our website where members could post to search for workout partners; however, the forum was removed due to surge of spam messages and wrongful advertising. We are constantly looking for newer ways for our members to communicate with each other, and another workout partner forum may be in our future. Until then, you may contact a fitness counselor who knows many of the other activities of our members are involved with and they will be more than happy to help find someone who may share common hobbies and activities for you.
Subject: Kids Club
Date: August 8, 2008
Comment: Upstairs phone to check on my kids in the kids club and open the kids club at 7am
Answer: We currently do not have a phone that will directly connect to the kids club that is available for all members; however, what we have done in the past is that you can leave your cell phone number with the kids club receptionists and ask them to contact you every 20 minutes to give updates on your child. As far as opening the kids club earlier, it really depends on the amount of traffic that comes in during those hours which is something that we are constantly analyzing to check if we do need to update the hours of our facilities. If the demand and traffic throughout each facility increases, then we will definitely do some rethinking of what hours we open the kids club.
Subject: Free Teen Membership
Date: August 7, 2008
Comment: Loved the Free Teen Membership for the summer, please do it again next summer.
Answer: The Free Teen Membership ended up being much more of a success than we originally had anticipated. More than 1,700 teens signed up for the community outreach program which helped to keep teens active throughout the summer. With such a great response, we plan to run the program again next year.
