Member disappointed with revamped Leisure Complex

March 25, 2015 · 0 Comments

I, like a lot of members, am very disappointed in the “new” Aurora Family Leisure Complex.
Where do I start? I guess with the wrist band policy. After we swipe our security tag, we are then handed a wrist band to wear! Where’s the technology here? A small waste of taxpayers’/members’ money! Then there are the large windows that let in too much sun and when you are on the cardio machines, the sun beats in and drowns you in heat.
The weight room is small and we trip over each other trying to get to the equipment. Speaking of small, the change rooms. What were they thinking? The lockers are tiny and the space to get to them is extremely limited. The locks don’t work, which is actually the one good thing. You can bring your own lock.
The running track? It’s great that it’s free, but who would want to use it when they have the heat cranked on it?
There is absolutely no room to stretch, people are tripping over you as they walk in since the stretching area is at the entrance! Why stretch anyway? The mats are so worn out they feel like you’re sitting on cardboard! If they get new mats, hopefully they’ll put some near the running track, at least there is a bit of room there.
Do I even have to mention the skate park at the front door? I’ve only been almost skated over once so far. I wish I didn’t sign up for a year. Poor me!
