[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my old gym I attended a very full yoga class.  Something like 15 minutes into the class with vinyasas already happening an older lady who was chronically late attempted to get me to interrupt my practice and scoot over and make room for her where there really wasn't any.  I refused and she called me the b-word rather loudly.

[b]Fast forward a few years--I'm now at a new gym.  Said lady has joined as well.  Guess what?  She still shows up late to classes.  At least at this gym spots are marked on the floor so where you set up is fixed.

The issue is absolutely the people, not the gym.  How about people new to spinning that show up 10 minutes into class and then expect the instructor to show them how to set up?[/b]

To answer some of the questions--in yoga it's annoying when latecomers make a bunch of noise, or when the spin instructor has stop instruction to pay attention to the newbie or in a crowded lifting class and people are dodging around you.[/quote]

Right, but if the other woman can use a designated spot at the new gym and doesn't interrupt your practice... it means the old gym was the issue, for being too greedy with enrollment.

What I mean is that there will always be latecomers. Either you go hardcore and lock the door, which I think alienates customers unnecessarily and is also probably against fire code - I wouldn't feel comfortable in a locked room! Or you have a business such that you can have fewer people in a larger space, and you ask that latecomers be as discreet as possible.
