AS THE GYM TURNS- a funny thing happened at the gym!


Ah, the adventure of the Jacuzzi Jets- a tale of mystery, confusion, and unexpected discoveries!


It took us quite a while to crack the code on our women’s Jacuzzi Jets. Oh, the excitement when those bubbles finally started flowing again! But here’s the kicker- amidst the complaints about the jets not working, not a peep from our members when they were back in action. That is until one fateful day…


A member approached the front desk with a curious question-how to turn off the bubbles. I nearly fell over in disbelief After all the fuss about not having them, now they wanted to know how to shut them off?


The funny part? Their attempts to deactivate the bubbles only seemed to make matters worse. They kept hitting the green button, thinking it would do the trick. Little did they know, that button only extended the jet time, making the bubbles louder and more persistent.


So, here’s the scoop, to turn on the bubbles, just push the green button once. It’ll automatically shut off when the time is up. And never hit the red emergency button because if you do the jets will not turn on for the next user until we reset it.  This happens all the time in the men’s Jacuzzi and then the men think the jets don’t work.

A chilling Tale from the Poolside: The Mystery of the Emergency Exit Door It was the winter of 2020 when we crafted a cozy, enclosed space in front of the pool - our noble attempt to shield swimmers from the icy blasts in the winter and the heat in the summer every time the emergency exit door swung open. A warm sanctuary was born, keeping the pool inviting and toasty, even in the coldest months and cool in the hottest. But alas, a peculiar phenomenon emerged! Instead of taking the usual route through the front door some folks- neither swimmers nor polar bears- began sneaking out the pool's emergency exit, unleashing a frosty gust into the once-warm waters. Was it the allure of the forbidden door? A shortcut that whispered "just this once...?" We must now remind our dear friend's: the pool's emergency exit is just that- for emergencies only. Each time it's used improperly, the chill creeps back in, undoing the warm haven we've worked so hard to maintain. So, let's leave the door alone and keep the pool area cozy for everyone- unless, of course, you'd like to star in the next chilling episode of As The Club Turns!
