They dont like Latinas here. The first thing youll is this gym is 95% White. You would think the South won the Civil War by the looks of the place. All the woman who work here would stare at my suspiciously or with tension. When I was given a tour prior to membership the blonde girl gave me looks like she was smelling something bad. Once while on the glides machine, the low impact fitness class instructor was telling about an argument with her daughters Spanish mother in law (in Spain) and the whole time she was staring at me. A whole class is in front of her and shes looking at me and Im Mexican, Im not even Spanish, and Im not her mother in law. Every time I walked and and place my stuff in one of the baskets or go get something from my bag one of the girls from the desk would come out and look at watch me for a little while like she thought I was stealing or something from another members belongings When I informed the manager Hallie of this racism she replied, "Oh our housecleaner is Hispanic". What an ignorant and racist statement and straight from the manager. I finally was able to get my 1 month membership back, after all I didnt sign up to endure racism. The thing is Shapemakers corporate headquarters is here Fresno less than 7 miles away. You cant tell me they dont know about this behavior. Especially when all but one of their staff members is White. I mean, really White women were the only ones that applied for a job here? The proof is right there, the all White staff is proof enough. Shapemakers, the racist gym.

Shapemakers broke its contract to its clients by closing down Sundays starting in Nov 2011. Shame on businesses that dont keep their promises to their clients. Are they going to give them a 13%. Discount? Lets wait and see. I hope all those folks who signed contracts know that they can leave because this business breached its contract to them.
