Appalling Management

Appalling Management

Absolutely baffled by the current manager at the Lone Tree Recreation Center. My family and I have been attending regularly for years, and never have I had such an awful experience.

I was in the weight room trying to work out while 5 children (4 clearly under the minimum age requirement of 14 years old) were in the weight room messing around like it was a jungle gym and utilizing equipment improperly. Not only is this an extremely dangerous situation, it is posted on the wall that no one under 14 is permitted in the weight room.

I went to the front desk to talk to who I am assuming was a manager. I didn't get his name, but he had red hair that was balding and red facial hair. I'm guessing he was in his late 40's. I notified him that there were 5 clearly underage children in the weight room that were playing with equipment and messing around, and he did not care at all. He told me "Oh yeah, well I know them and they are regulars here. I can't tell someone who is 30 doing the same thing to leave, so I can't do anything."

I then politely reminded him that the sign in the weight room says no one under 14 years old is allowed in the weight room and that the children were CLEARLY underage and had no adult supervising them.

This manager then proceeded to tell me in a condescending fashion that the only kind of thing that concern him are "loud noises in the gym" that "sound like injuries happening." Wow.

Good to know that children or other patrons in the gym are only a concern to you AFTER something bad happens. Absolutely ridiculous and appalling behavior, especially from a manager.
