Rep Power: 50 | Re: new client tans at gym!!!! I see the same thing and it just puzzles me. My closest comp who just got NEW used beds apparently have a dial on them and they can as long as they want! Then I have the customers who come in and tell me they were discussing with my other clients off site of course that we should lower our prices to 5 dollars sessions. Yeah I don't think I have 5 dollar beds. I am soooo stumped by their stupitity and audasity.

Rep Power: 103 | Re: new client tans at gym!!!! It's actually a disease called "dumbassitis." It is rarely curable and sometimes fatal. You can sometimes identify this disease as the cause of death because just before they die, they are often heard saying "Hey Y'all, watch this!" It doesn't have to be terminal to be diagnosed. Sometimes you have cases like the above that are symptoms as well.

Rep Power: 20 | Re: new client tans at gym!!!! the problem with health clubs is that they do not manage or supervise tanners. they let them jump into the bed, turn on the switch and that's about it. it's outfits like that that give our industry a dirty name. sooner or later somebody is going to get burned good, and we are all going to feel the criticism. |
