1 /5 Ivy Chen: My partner is a member at Carlingford Fitness, and I came with him today planning to work out as a guest. When we arrived, he was about to tap in, and I just walked a few steps inside to have a quick look around while waiting for him — I didn’t touch any equipment or start using the gym.
The curly-haired girl at the reception (on duty Tuesday, Nov 4) suddenly questioned me in a rude way, as if I was trying to sneak in without paying. My partner immediately explained that I was his guest, but instead of handling it politely, she kept questioning us and made us feel really uncomfortable.
Honestly, the way she spoke to us felt more like we were being interrogated — maybe working at a police station reception would suit her better. A little courtesy and professionalism would go a long way.
