Does anyone have a letter they may have sent to a gym to complain at the lack of barefoot?
I was confronted by the gym manager saying i needed to wear shoes. i asked why....he said in case you drop a weight on your feet. I said i was only going on the treadmill to which he replied...what if you fall off and cut your foot. This weant on in a tedious fashion at which point he changed his arguement to club etiquette. So how come you can go barefoot outside in the summer and you dont have to wear shoes in the wet area and steam rooms?
I will be writing my own letter to the manager, including some research links, but wondered if other people have been in this situation and won their case?
I do suffer arthritis in my feet but dont want to play the medical card unless i have to.
Cheers in advance.
