Clean but feel unsafe
Although cleaning in Loughborough gym is generally very good there is still no intervention by staff on two points 1. People wandering around the gym and coming into and out of gym with no masks and 2. Spotting at racks and machines, despite numerous signs around. I understand there is no legal requirement for this but Pure gym have set these rules and I would have thought, if the company takes the health of its clients seriously, it would enforce these rules rigourously, with sanctions for those not abiding with them. I have no wish to stop using the gym but neither do I want to catch Covid from a gym goer breathing all over me. Neither do I want to have to go into lockdown again because there is an upsurge in Covid related deaths due to gym goers. I know the industry says that gyms are safe and there are very few cases proved to be caused by going to the gym, but this is because no one checks into the venue using the NHS app either because, being young or ignorant or both, they haven't downloaded it or like me people won't check in because if it shows contact with people in gym with Covid I cannot afford to take two weeks off work to isolate. I really hope Pure gym start to take notice, as I'm sure this must be country wide and not just limited to one gym and I really want to be able to continue to use the gym SAFELY.
