ON-SITE ISSUES
Any issues should be worked with Alodia supervisors on-site as they occur. It’s more difficult to resolve issues after the fact, than in the moment. If it cannot be resolved, we will have an incident report form that can be completed, and I will review if needed. Hopefully, we don’t have to use the process but there is one in place just in case.
FACILITIES
Salem Community Center and other area facilities are arguably some of the nicest gym facilities in the city. Please help us keep it clean and looking great! General rule...leave the gyms nicer than when you arrived. Please help us with picking up trash, throwing it away and cleaning up. We are always one bad mess away from having to move locations. We appreciate your help!
