Hi,


 


I'm refering to our phone-call, on Monday, where I explained that I would have a closer look at the compaint, and


call you back the next day. (Tuesday, yesterday).


 


Unfortunaltly, I was a bit busy yesterday, but I have thought a bit more about this now, so I'm sending you this


e-mail.


 


Like I explained in the phone-call, my main complaint, against the gym, was that the (female) washing-staff,


where washing the mens chaning-room, within the opening hours, on several (at least two) occations.


 


I also explained, that I had been working-out in other council/university-run gyms, in Oslo and Sunderland,


but that I hadn't seen this before, that the female washing-staff was washing the mens changing room,


within the opening hours.


 


I've been thinking a bit more about how to explain this, and I think one must probably say, that this, that


the washing-women wash the mens changing-room within the opening hours of the gym, must be said


to be indicent(?)


 


And this gym is not like a private gym, but it's a council run gym, open to all members of the public, and


run by the tax-payers money.


 


The council, explained that they had changed the 'washing-regime', after recieving my complaint, but after


I've been thinking more about this, I think it's a bit strange anyway.



Since, I think that the staff at the gym should have stopped the washing-women, acting like this, I remember


that there was plenty of staff there, the last time this happend, they were just standing in the reception-area,


without doing any work-tasks, maybe 10 or 15 minutes before the gym closed, looking at me, more or less,


smiling, when I left the gym, the last time this happend.

So, I think that staff must have been aware of this.


 


So, I think that there must have been something going on at the gym, since the staff didn't react, when the


washing women did this.



So I don't think it's enough by the Council, to say they've changed the washing regime, since I think there


must be problems with the staff as well, since they didn't reflect or react at this procedure.


 


I think both the washing-staff, and the gym-staff and management, should have understood, by themselves,


that it's maybe a bit indecent, to let the washing-women wash the mens changing-room during the opening


hours of the gym, while the changing-room is being used.


 


So I think that there must be something going on there, since noone reflected on this.


 


So, I think that maybe the situation at the gym, should be looked a more into, by the Ombudsman, since


I think that there must have been something strange going on there.



I haven't had the time to look at the complaint that much, and this was from last year, so I don't remember


the details that well, but I remember that I was thinking, that there were a lot of strange things going on at


the gym.



So I'm forwarding you the complaint I sent the gym, so maybe you could have a look at this, and see what


you think yourselves, of the other complaints than the main complaint mentioned in this e-mail, if you don't


think the things going on at the gym, weren't a bit strange.



So then I'll trust your judgement on the other complaints, since I am a bit after shedule with work etc. here.



Hope this is alright!


 


Yours sincerely,



Erik Ribsskog
