Been a member here for years - and yes the facilities are great, but with one exception.

I can't speak for the ladies facilities, but the mens steam room is absolutely disgusting.

Yes, the steam room gets cleaned daily by the full time cleaning staff, but only in the most cursory of ways. Years of neglect and poor upkeep has left the steam room covered in mould and slime. Most days the smell of mould hangs in the air.

Honestly, if any city inspectors are reading this, the facilities should be closed. If places like Thermea (about ten trillion times cleaner) get closed by the city for elevated levels of bacteria, its beyond me why this is let to occur here.

Seriously Rady, get your act together. An actual cleaning involves lots of ELBOW GREASE and disinfectants, not just spraying down the benches with a hose and running a squeegee over the glass.

Fun fact: I know several members who refuse to shower or use the steam here just because they are so gross and scuzzy. I used to think they were Grade-A germophoebes, but as the cleanliness in the locker facilities has steadily declined below any possible threshold of acceptance, I've come to see their point of view.

Maybe they can offer membership discounts if you opt out of the shower/steam facilities? I will ask at the Sports Desk !
