28 June, around 9pm
During our stay, we visited the hotel gym around 9pm and encountered a group of families with three young children, possibly aspiring young athletes. Two little girls, approximately 5-6 years old, were sitting on their father’s legs while he performed two-person weight training. Meanwhile, a woman (perhaps a trainer or mother) was guiding a 7-8 year-old boy through dumbbell exercises and allowing him to use the Matrix weight machines on his own.
While it’s wonderful to see families encouraging fitness, I’m concerned about safety in the gym environment. The children were occupying equipment and moving unpredictably, which posed potential risks for other guests. Many adult guests, including myself, felt unsafe and chose to avoid the gym during this time.
Though the recent power shortage wouldn’t deter us from visiting again, we do feel that ensuring adult guests’ safety and maintaining proper gym etiquette should be a priority.
Perhaps clearer age restrictions or supervision rules could be enforced in the gym room (noted its also entrance to the pool at the gym) to avoid accidents and maintain a safe space for all ages guests or just be a kid gym only
