I was a member for nearly 2 years at Sportcity-Amstelveen branch. I experienced 2 racist incident second one being very serious one (assault on pregnant women who was reverse threatened by gym manager)Incident 1: I took my 9-year-old son and made him sit in the reception area while i could attend my spinning class. The boy was given an ebook to read while waiting for me. The Gym staff said kids are not allowed. I requested but they refused. I called Gym manager to request and she gave a nig lecture of how she is a mom of 2 and how much she cares for kids safety. The very next day I see kids of 4-5 years are running around in the gym without any adults around, a 7 year old boy trying to move dumbells in weights sections. All these kids were white, while gym staff or the manager dint take any action at all. A week later a white women left her 6 years old daughter on the sofa and she went for zumba class. No gym staff questioned about this. Incident 2: A fellow Gym member (lady) and Sportcity Gym staff (cleaner) assaulted a Indian pregnant lady by spraying the room freshner and deodrant in and around her causing chemical fume while she was working out, even after knowing she is pregnant. There was no sportcity staff around, the lady ultimately had to raise her voice for her safety. We lodged a formal complaint, it needed multiple follow ups to get one answer back. After multiple reminders the Gym manager(emy, Cecil) called and acted as if the mistake was from the pregnant lady because she had body odor, when asked about safety of the gym and the unprovoked attacke the gym manager replied , "I will cancel your membership". When asked for CCTV recording for the proof the answer was "On that day, that camera was not working". which is pretty clear the gym manager is trying to protect the fellow white ladies involved in assault. In both incidents it was very clear that Gym Manager displayed a RACIST behavior. Apparently the gYm manager is also a lady who failed to understand the trauma of a pregnant women.
