Don’t Mess With My Treadmill

Went downstairs to the gym around 745, ready to watch the end of Don’t Forget The Lyrics and the first half of Biggest Loser. The remote for the TVs was missing and the power button is on top which is too high to reach. FAIL. Luckily I had my watch this time, otherwise I would have gone right back upstairs. Did a mile on the elliptical, a mile on the bike, and a mile on the treadmill for a total of 250 calories burned. I DEFINITELY would have stayed and watched DWTS, especially since Jennifer Hudson is the the guest celeb tonight. She’s so skinny now!

I was so upset about the remote missing, and the treadmill did act up a bit and I had to fiddle with the power cord again, that I wrote an email to the apartment building.

Hi Alison,

The other day I was at the gym downstairs using one of the treadmills. I was forced to use the one on the left, because the other one would not turn on for some reason. A few minutes later, another resident tried to use the other treadmill and after fiddling with the power cord a bit he was able to get it to turn on. Three seconds later, BOTH of the treadmills turned off. We worked together to getone treadmill working, now knowing that they can not both be on at the same time.

This is not the only issue with the treadmills. The treadmill on the left does not increase it’s incline. It makes a funny noise and the number goes up, but the treadmill does not physically move up. The treadmill on the right, the slow button does not work.

Are there any plans to replace these treadmills? I understand it is not meant to be a state-of-the-art gym and can’t be compared to a real, full-sized gym. But it would be nice to have machines that don’t have a “stand on your left foot while holding the antenna” feel to it.

Also, I was at the gym today around 8 and the remote for the TVs was missing.

Thanks

Although I consider my apartment complex to be luxury apartments….

(This is my own, newly decorated, apartment)

The gym is a huge disappointment. And so is the movie theater. The TV is not HD!!!!

Alison did email me back already and said this is the first time she’s heard about the treadmills being broken and will as Marc (the maintenance guy) to take a look at it tomorrow and that if he can’t fix it, then she will call the treadmill distributor, and if they can’t fix it then they will look into replacing them.

Progress people. Progress.
