Hey Jerry. Would you mind sending us a DM? We'd like to show this the appropriate amount of attention and discourse.
During my last visit, I inquired about the mask policies with the staff. They explained that they will remind guests to wear a mask on their way in & out of the building, but they will not interrupt people's workouts for not wearing a mask once they are inside. So more or less they are optional once you get inside.
I agree that people tend to sit on their phones while on machines. With that being said i have been in there a ton with no issues getting access to a machine. As for masks i only ever see people take them off while using equipment that is set up to keep 6 feet of distance and then put them on to walk about.
Some people have longer break times in between their sets than others. Considering COVID protocols, numbers have been down drastically, giving plenty of time for everyone to use machines. And masks are mandatory. Sorry you're having such a hard go!
