Cons: Might as well start off with the complaints, lol…read more
1. A violation of privacy lawsuit, a stabbing or a shooting, is just waiting to happen at your SW side gym!
The Coors & Central Men's locker room, so I have heard from several members, was just a constant dodging of guys taking pictures of you naked and undressing, or coming out of the shower.
I live on the Eastside and have been going there since the 1st year that they opened. I have never been photographed that I know of, naked in the locker rooms at Winrock, in all these years.
After a couple of years of friendly members always telling me that that the South Westside location had a superior steam and sauna, I decided to check it out, with caution.
I was warned by a few guys that fights often breakout in the locker rooms because there are so many members filming other guys coming in and out of the showers, undressing and stripping. I am like, you have to be kidding here, man.
I asked these members, if it is so good over there, why do you come to Winrock? They all said the same thing, basically... that they will drive more than 30 minutes for a suckier steam and sauna, rather than get shot, get punched, or get stabbed by someone in the locker room. This is no BS, I have heard it so many time since they opened that location. I honestly thought these guys were feeding me BS, and screwing with me.
Since I have only seen this one time at Winrock, I figured it has to be the same at the other location. Boy, was I wrong!! Holy moly man, I dodged 4 camera guys while I was naked in the last week at that location. I am not going back there, no matter how good the steam and sauna are.
From what I hear, It just seems to be getting worse and worse at that location. I hear that they place No Picture Signs directly on the mirrors, and they just get ripped off.
I had to verbally tell a 2 guys to delete the damn pictures!! One was respectful, and said sorry. The other one.... Let's just say...... Class Action Lawsuit?
A third one was a little buffed guy that was live filming. I was coming out of the showers, I saw the setup. I asked him if was filming, before a stepped across naked. He said yes, sorry, and pulled his phone off the ledge. The 4th one, the guy was taking pics in the mirror at the sinks, which reflects perfect back at the locker area that I was at. I asked if he got me in the pic, he said no. It was close. I did not dare ask to see the pictures as he looked pretty serious.
As far as I can see, there are never any employees in that locker roomr, or the wet area on Coors & Central. These places seem never to be policied, at least in the evenings that I went.
This is a problem gym...... I asked if anyone has reported these picture takers, a couple of them said yes, but the problem is that staff does not care, or is just simply restricted to what corporate enforces. It is a policy, but it is not enforced.
One guy told me that he almost fought another guy that had a tripod setup in the locker room, but that the guy started reaching in his bag for something. Needless to say, he hauled ass the hell out of there without reporting it.
So why in one location are you dodging land mines, and my location.... you are not?? lol. I will leave that up to Chuze find out.
All I can say is that, we are in Albuquerque. If an agressive lawyer can sue McDonalds for millions, for the coffee being too hot, and win, I am all in for the class action lawsuit of a violation of privacy due to Chuze not enforcing the policy.
I have spent too much time already on this, but if Chuze is listening. You probably want to fix this before someone does actually get shot on that side of town, or a lawyer gets word of just how bad it is there.
At my location, we have the mirrors framed, and they sit up higher, like above the waist. At that SW location, the mirrors are wall to wall, and sit pretty much at waist level or below. It is the perfect mirror for a picture, if you want a waist up body picture.
Another thing you could do is frost the mirrors, which I have heard from another member, that you have done before in other locations
2. Steam rooms in all locations are constantly occupied with members wearing full pants and shoes. Since the gym opened in Albuquerque, (Winrock), I have only seen one time where members wearing shoes and pants were asked to leave the steam. I believe that was Jill who enforced that. I have been in the wet area not 100s of times, but 1,000s of times!!
3. No water fountains at 2 locations in the wet area. Sucks to not have water in these areas while, you sweat like a pig.
Pros - Great rates, good amenities for the most part. Clean machines, good machines. Bad ass movie theater cardio, dope low light, little semi private weight rooms! Awesome massage chairs and recovery rooms.
