I have been a member at Fitness One for a few years. The membership fees are very inexpensive on the plus side, however, on the downside, the facility is over crowded and the washrooms are filthy. Since I have been there, there has been four management changes. What I find most disturbing, is that the instructors that come into the facility to teach classes, are always being jerked around by managment! A previous yoga instructor that filled the class left due to being told she couldn't schedule her holidays. I have been told of an instructor simply being told on the way out after teaching a class to simply not come back, and this after years of service. Also, a case where an excellent yoga/pilates instructor had her classes taken away, so a student/member could replace her. This is absolute nonsense. Recently, with yet another staff change over, the new trainers at my facility, are so young that other than possibly taking an in house power learning session on "how to", are not properly educated in the field and should not be giving instruction to newbies on weights, equipment, diet etc. Welcome to the world of injuries and disappointment. I for one, am leaving to find a more suitable environment in which to train.    -
