3 /5 Jane Dough: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
I’ve been attending L9 since the end of last year. It was my safe haven to come to and build strength whilst being surrounded by lovely people… until recently.
The owner of the business decided to make unnecessary changes to the business which included pushing out two wonderful, incredibly skilled and experienced teachers and filling those gaps with his own son. Whilst leaving other teachers confused, along with all of us who attended their classes.
One of the teachers, whom of which I attended her classes the most, created a wonderful atmosphere to be apart of, but also carried the classes in a way in which it was more important to build skill with safety and stretch in mind to avoid injury. Now its ran like a boot camp with more push to get to the skill, creating more room for injury - which I’ve come across individuals in the classes already having to reach out to their osteos/physios more often as warm up stretches at the start and end of the class has been deleted from all classes.
Not to mention, they had a pipe burst at the facility which wasn’t actioned by the owner immediately creating an unsafe smell in the space which still remains to this day. The smell that remains does smell like resting water that’s on its way to mould or already is there. I doubt under the mats near the garage door has been checked since, hence the smell.
This direction might be for some but those who came to build strength without the pressure and to stretch appropriately have already left or are contemplating it which is incredibly disappointing and disheartening. Not to mention shafting staff like that speaks volumes of the type of person the owner is.
