My
apologies
in
advance
for
a
long
write
up
but
spare
the
time
to
go
through
it.
Believe
me
it
will
help
you
make
the
right
decision.
I
was
a
first
timer
in
the
gym
and
so
the
facility
was
impressive
to
me
as
they
are
well
equipped.
(A
little
too
much
equipment
in
my
opinion
hardly
any
space
to
pass
between
machines)
But
people
are
the
ones
that
make
or
break
a
business.
The
coaches
are
supposedly
always
available
but
not
so
much
with
a
welcoming
attitude.
1
or
2
of
them
are
not
that
bad
but
the
majority
is
full
of
negativity
as
if
we
are
burdening
them
by
asking
for
their
help.
Nonetheless,
I
would
still
ask
without
caring
about
their
attitude
because
that’s
their
job
even
if
they
have
forgotten
that.
The
classes
are
held
every
hour.
But,
•
There
is
a
lack
of
sufficient
number
of
mats
for
everyone
to
workout
together.
•
The
coaches
do
not
instruct
in
English,
only
Arabic.
•
Some
of
them
are
extremely
self
obsessed
narcissists
and
keep
focusing
only
on
their
looks,
looking
at
their
reflection
in
the
mirror
95%
of
the
time.
•
A
lot
of
times,
they
will
only
explain
the
workouts
verbally
and
won’t
even
go
down
on
the
mat
to
show
what
you
are
suppose
to
do,
that
means
if
you
don’t
speak
the
language
you
are
left
to
learn
by
observing
others.
•
They
will
also
not
give
a
damn
about
correcting
your
form
during
class,
more
so
if
you
are
an
outsider,
unless
you
ask
them
to
do
a
form
check
on
you.
Now
for
the
more
meaningful
information..
Know
that
a
few
weeks/months
in
you
will
start
to
believe
all
the
negative
reviews
as
an
expat
and
will
definitely
start
to
face
DISCRIMINATION
either
from
the
staff
or
other
self
entitled
fellow
clients
who
are
friends
of
the
staff
members.
Here’s
what
happened
with
me
-
In
the
beginning,
a
lot
of
them
started
talking
to
me
in
Arabic
with
warmth
and
smiles.
They
thought
I
am
one
of
them
as
I
have
been
told
all
my
life
that
I
look
like
an
Arab.
Upon
hearing
that
I
don’t
speak
the
language
as
I
am
in-fact
not
an
arab,
they
all
started
to
drift
and
became
bitter
slowly
and
gradually.
THIS
WILL,
100%
HAPPEN
TO
YOU
TOO.
If
not
immediately,
eventually.
If
you
are
an
expat,
attempts
will
be
made
to
shun
you
out
for
absolutely
no
fault
of
yours.
So
much
so
that
they
will
go
to
the
extent
of
harassing
you
by
falsely
accusing
you,
trying
to
publicly
humiliate
you
in
one
way
or
another.
No
one
will
lift
a
finger
on
a
fellow
arab
client
for
however
unethical,
unhygienic
their
behavior
might
be.
But
they
will
target
you
if
you
are
an
outsider
even
with
best,
most
cordial
behavior.
As
I
am
not
a
gullible
person,
I
took
a
stand
for
myself,
complained
to
the
management.
But
the
complains
fell
on
deaf
ears.
So
I
fought
back
personally
with
the
bullies.
At
last,
the
false
accusations
eventually
stopped
but
the
stares
and
secretly
talking
among
themselves
didn’t.
Safe
to
say,
I
won’t
be
renewing
my
membership
here.
Unless,
you
have
a
super
thick
skin
and
are
in
the
mood
to
disrupt
your
peace
by
constant
bullying
and
stress
of
showing
up
the
following
day,
save
yourself
the
trouble
and
look
for
another
gym.
