What's your symbol?

Apparently not smarter than a 2nd grader...

I found on the close outs one cash sale for $14.93.  I put $15 in with the closeouts.  This left me $5.85 short plus the 7 cents from the $15.  I have gone into my wallet and added the extra money to get the register to an even $50.There are only a few of us touching this register.  It should remain at $50.  Also, if either of you has some ones or fives, the register has 3 tens, a five and six ones currently.

Thanks,
Serena

Staff:  Not sure how I managed that one? I'll even it up when I get there. 

Staff:  I put 5.85 in there and now it says 55.85? I don't know what's wrong I'm just gonna leave the extra money in there I guess. Better to be over then under. 

So they can't count or read...  I have gone into my wallet and added the extra money to get the register to an even $50.

Hazel BUSTED

So the new manager started at the gym this week.  He is shaking things up! Tuesday night he met Hazel.  He described her as "dressed to go clubbing" and she came in with her daughters and flirted with Smiley for 30 minutes.  Hazel did not realize that the new manager was there and overheard her entire conversation with Smiley.  He finally approached her and introduced himself, walked her around the gym and asked her exactly what she was supposed to be doing because he was sure that flirting with the staff and standing at the front desk weren't what we were paying her for!  PRICELESS!  This sent her into a rage and flurry of texts and phone calls started.

Please call me when u have a min I have a question for u (8:53 pm)

Three phone calls from Hazel (8:54, 8:57, 9:03)

Hey Serena I called Sunshine because I was told not to do half the gym tonight and didn't want him calling. U because it not done please call me in am we need to talk (9:04pm)

Hey Serena I'm going to let y'all find someone else it's just to much for me anyone and the changes that are being made I can't work around so u just owe me for Monday and last night we did trash and bathrooms as we were told to leave floor alone I want to thank u for the time u let me work there and ill pick my check up Friday thanks and best wishes finding what y'all are looking for (8:33 am)

Ok

Could u just leave my money if ur there today or tomorrow and ill come by and get it (11:36am)

I'm not there again til Friday

Ok I'll pick it up Friday then and I'm sorry I just can't give 5 hrs a today there and that's the goal he has but it will be good for the gym it needs that's What's a good time to run by tomorrow u are going to pay me for the two days right ?  (8:46pm)

I was going to even though rumor is you didn't clean anything Tuesday night...

That is not true we didn't vac gym floor because I was told by the new manager not to and was told we were never to clean gym floor when members are on it that's crazy because there always people there I would tell u Serena I Tryed to call u about that to I worked for u for months and I would have kept working for u but I can't understand the things he wants without doing it after hrs

You didn't clean bathrooms which was really all that was left to clean.  I took your advice and opened my eyes. The new manager overheard your entire conversation with Smiley. Apparently you didn't have anything good to say about me and weren't exactly acting like you were married. Do not text/call me anymore. 

We did clean bathrooms and I changed Curtin in men's room and mats the others where good so I was holding off till they needed it yes Serena we sure did do bathrooms I never said anything to Smiley in front of the new manager about anything nor about u Serena what are u talking about So u have no plans to pay me what u owe me I did do my work and never said one thing about u to anyone nor acted anyway with Smiley my girls were by my side that is a lie

Real eyes and ears are better than security cameras.  I'll pay you for Monday. I'd prefer to mail a check to you. I do not want you anywhere near my building. 

With if it where true yeah but it's not the new manager walked me threw gym asking ? I didn't even talk with Smiley my girls did I said hello and then I was with the manager walking gym over

Send me your address and stay away from the gym. 

I can't believe u are acting this way to me I have done not one thing Wrong and I cleaned on Tuesday night to I mean I guess my gas and time mean nothing

That's fine I understand

Send me your address

 And the way y'all had done me is sorry u can ask Smiley I did clean Tuesday but its ok I don't treat people that way and really don't understand but it will all show in time thank u

Are You Smarter Than a 2nd Grader?

Serena!! There is money missing from the cash box!!

Coins are money too!! 

When I got home just to make sure I wasn't nuts, I asked my daughter how to make a dollar.

Here's To You MRS. ROBINSON

So Serena, what's going on with you & the young hottie?

He's a trainer and we were exercising.  I used to train with Tat but he's gone.

He's so hot!  Is he dating anyone?

EWWW... I'm old enough to be his mom!  I might actually be older than his mom.  How old are you??

Lost and Found or Free Coats!

Hey Serena!
I don't want to stir anything up but I left my jacket at the gym and it was hung up on the rack. I went to grab it and it wasn't there. I was told by someone that they saw a heavy Hispanic woman leave one day with her daughter and on her way out she pulled down 3 jackets (one being mine). I was told there have been issues with this woman and wondered if you knew who she was. Just wanted to let you know there is someone doing that. How sad.

Thanks for telling us. There is probably confusion because that is the lost and found.

Ok. Someone saw her: she's Hispanic and a 2X. My jacket is an XS. Lol. She probably wasn't confused. Her daughter is my size, I'm told. :).

Good Riddance to Tat!

After I said no to Tat about a loan and a salary, he found someone who said yes.  I found out he quit when his former clients started getting these emails...

Dear Friends & Clients,


I apologize for this short notice. After weeks of negotiations and several interviews, I was contacted by the New Fitness Corporate Office last week. I was notified that I had been selected to take over the Personal Training responsibilities for 3 local New Fitness Gyms. I am returning to 10 hour days. I'm back on top of my game 110% & focused!!!

It will be exciting and challenging working in a growth-oriented organization which offers diverse job responsibility and with the potential for advancement. I'm starting out with the PT responsibilities of 3 fitness centers, with the potential to expand my regional territory over a period of time. There are over 1600 New Fitness Facilities across the United States, as well as around the globe.

These facilities are run like a fine tuned well oiled machines, using their EzFacility Training Software. There's 100% accountability. All facilities have state of the art equipment. The facilities are kept immaculately clean. The gym temperature is kept at a very cool 70*, with 10 ceiling fans. This makes for a very comfortable training environment. If you weren't training it would almost be to cold.

After lengthy negotiations we've reached an agreement:

All clients schedules will remain the same.

I'm being allowed a certain number of make up sessions, so it does not cause you any inconvenience. Please keep in mind this is a corporate facility with 100% accountability. It is very difficult to negotiate with a corporate company, because of their auditing system. I have done so to an extent. They're willing to accommodate my clients for their inconvenience with a cap (WITHIN REASON). Keep in mind that I do not own these gyms and my hands are tied.

Memberships are normally $39.95 per month with a minimum of a 1 year contract. An exception to the rule has been made. All my clients will be offered a discount membership of $24.95 on a month to month basis with NO CONTRACT! Once again this was not an easy task in a corporate environment. Remember by joining New Fitness you automatically become a member to all of their fitness facilities worldwide, with no extra cost. For those of you who's careers call for traveling and/or vacationing you will always have a gym nearby.

There's also a $20 key fob charge. You will need this key to access the gyms of your choice.

All memberships include: Certified Les Mills, Kickboxing, Bodyflow & Body Combat Classes.

I've also been given full access to the Mixed Martial Arts Studio located right next to the gym. (When no classes are scheduled)

Any Clients that decide to become members of New Fitness will be given a 10% discount at the Mixed Martial Arts Classes, which include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Cardio Kickboxing, MMA Striking, Yoga & Youth Programs and a one week free trial period for the class of your choice. These youth classes are held Monday and Wednesday from 4:45 to 5:30pm. Please see the website and look for the Juniors BJJ GI. Classes are for ages 7 yrs. & Up. This would be a great opportunity to introduce your children to an exciting and rewarding fitness environment.

Tanning will also be added at a discounted price for those interested.

Once again, We will work towards making this transition as smooth as possible.

New Fitness has agreed to give “ANYONE” with 3 months or more left on their membership contracts, 3 months free on their new 1 year membership to New Fitness. Of course, this does not affect those that are on a month to month at their current gym. This is being offered to those that may be locked into a current contract.

Several of you are up for renewal and/or have payments left on your current training contracts with me. Resume your schedule as always and bring your payment with you to New Fitness. Once again, We are working to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Several of you have asked me about children/family add ons, this also will be offered to my clients at a discounted rate. Children age 12 are allowed on the floor as long as they are accompanied by a parent and are well behaved.

I've been recently advised of the new higher PT rates, as seen in my last e-mail. Under the current economic status of the country, I don't not believe this is in the best interest of my clients. I will be keeping Personal Training Rates set by me over 3 years ago. This has also been approved by the Corporate Office. During a recession is not the time to raise rates. It may look good on paper, but it's not practical.


I look forward to working with you at this new location. I believe that you will be extremely satisfied with your new accommodations. I tested all of the equipment Saturday, it was a blast! I think that you will be impressed. I'm sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused. After three years in a position that did not look promising & being pushed backwards, I could not pass on this wonderful new career opportunity, with room for advancement! Remember nothing has changed, except for the location. Please feel free to call me with any questions or concerns.  
I look forward to seeing you at our new training facility.  Please try to come in a few minutes early to take care of minor paperwork.  Personnel will be on hand to help expedite the whole process. 
 
Please understand that if your contract is well beyond the expiration date, I can not pick up and honor where we left off.  
Please see my attached new updated BIO.

In the Spirit of Fitness,

Tat
Master Trainer
