I have now finally deciphered the reasoning behind the Gibraltarian way! In any given situation, the option or possibility that makes the least sense is the one the Gibraltarians will pick. Like when to clean the runway - morning rush hour or mid afternoon? When to shut down water/electricity supply for maintenance work - day or night? These situations however do not have any economical incentives, the airport authority wont loose money depending on when they close the runway. One would think that this law of (lack of) reason would not apply to businesses, that they would maintain a profit focused basis for their decisions. But oh no they don't! Shops on main street will close down the day before a sale to prepare, instead of doing it after work hours. They will not stock or order in more of popular items.
The opening hours and membership options at the newly opened Korner Gym therefore did not come as a surprise to me. I was simply stunned and amazed they were actually open for business. They are currently open between 11am and 13pm, and then again between 6pm and 8pm. It is not possible to pay for a single hour or visit, one must become a member at a monthly fee of £50. Working out is something I prefer to be convenient, easy and flexible. I am sure there are a few more out there who share my view on this. I am guessing they are trying to target people during lunch and after work. But having the gym open for only 4 hours a day is plain fucking stupid. How are you going to make money if people cant use your service?! This is where I simply loose hope...
ALL I WANT IS A GYM THAT IS OPEN WHEN I WANT TO USE IT! Is that so much to ask for?
