BFT Browns Bay: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Love the style and variety of the workouts. High quality equipment and great trainers. Nice community there too.
Negative experience: Don’t waste your time here, this gym has a LOT to work on. A coach made totally inappropriate comments, the admin takes so long they overcharged me twice with no apology and the environment can be pretty unwelcoming. I really wanted to like this gym, the classes are good and there are some lovely people but I am just so disappointed at so many aspects of it and will definitely not be going back. - On my first day, I was told that the gym’s goals were to make us look “toned” and “slim”. Not asking what peoples goals actually are or why they joined, and assuming we all want to look a certain way set an icky vibe. I was then paired with someone who barely acknowledged me when I spoke to her and spent half the time chatting to an instructor (who was supposed to be teaching the whole group) instead of doing the workout together. Not a great first day. - In a different session, an instructor joked about being ‘good swingers’ while we were using kettle bells. Twice. Because no one laughed the first time. At work, around young women who are new clients this is incredibly out of line and made others feel uncomfortable. - Lastly, the admin is incredibly poor. It took 5+ days to get back emails for simple requests like pausing my membership for a holiday and changing the type of membership due to work scheduling. It took so long it resulted in being charged extra, having to ask to be credited, and then later being told I owed money when I didn’t. In these emails they CCd management to which I nicely reminded them of what the case was. I got NO form apology for whatsoever for essentially overcharging me TWICE and mixing up dates due to their slow response time. The classes are great but the atmosphere, professionalism and admin is so sub par considering what it costs and what they advertise as their priorities. Again, I really wanted to like this gym so I sincerely hope they take some of this feedback on board and do better.
