I would like it known yesterday I was to receive a gym assessment from a physio from arthritis society. A couple of weeks ago I had talked a member of the staff at the Palasad goodlife at the corner of Adelaide and Oxford Street and let them know what had been arranged. The staff at that time said we do that all the time. Yesterday when I talked to one of the girls at the front desk she had to check with one of the managers there to my surprise they refused my request. The physio involved explained in the 10 years of doing this she has never run into this problem. I cancelled my membership with Goodlife, I have been a member there since 2000. When I called register my concerns, they verifed that that this is their corporate policy not to allow anybody other than their own trainers into the gym. I am quite disappointed with their corporate policy,
Dear Judy,
as you can see the previous is a copy and paste that I made a mistake, sorry, my intention was to tell you how much I enjoyed the week and how enriching that the week was. In the beginning I felt like a fish out of water. It was so nice to get to know something about all of the women there. It is so amazing how we can be acquainted with people yet really don't know much about eachother.
It is interesting how inspiring everyday life can be.
Judy, you are truly amazing and thankyou so much for allowing us to get to know you and your many talents.

Thanks for your comments, both of them. It is very disappointing that Goodlife won't let artritis society trainers use their gym equipment. I am very concerned for you and wish you all the best. As I said to you in the class. You have such a wonderful gift of being able to see and understand the complexities of life and art. Take good care and keep in touch.
