Children

I have a huge concern due to the fact that children above 7yrs are not allowed in the kids area and under 14 not allowed on the equipment. Which means that they are FORCED to play computer games. My children does not play computer games it is bad for their brain development. So the gym needs to get something else to keep them busy.

On Tuesday 27 August at about 18h15 I was on the treadmill as I am training for a race my son 9yrs in October also trains with me as he is a runner aswell. So I let him run on the treadmill next to me. One of the staff members came and stoped the treadmill while my sun was on it and told him that he has to be 14yrs to use the gym equipment. What I found strange and extremely unfair is that a child younger than 14 yrs was on a bycycile training with a "personal trainer" writen on his shirt with him.
Does this actualy mean that if I had money to pay a personal trainer my son would be allowed on the equipment and that I can not let him train with me at the gym?

I fully understand that it is dangerous for chidren on the equipment BUT then this rule should go straight through the bank and count for ALL kids. I can save alot of money if I cancel my contract
