@Heather, eeek I hate cold tanning beds, gotta warm those babies up before the doors open.

I am totally coming into this post late and don’t ask me how I got to this one in general, but I don’t see what was my biggest complain when I tanned.

Cold beds. Keep the place warm enough that you’re not laying on an ice cube when you first lay down. (This usually just applies to first in the morning appointments if you go to a busy place.)

I miss tanning. After I had a skin cancer scare on my shoulder I’ve been terrified to go tanning or out in the sun without 3000 SPF sunblock on. It was the one place I could just relax.

In short, businesses in the health and fitness industry should be fresh, friendly and professional. What I mean by that is:

Fresh: Attractive, Open & Clean Environment. Unique ideas in the facility’s operation.
Friendly: Really Needs No Explanation
Professional: A Focus on Clients’ Needs.

I think all of the nasty stuff that you mentioned above are hold-overs of a time long gone, when business owners weren’t client focused. Frankly, I’m glad that time period is gone.

@Maria @ Hot Tanning Beds, I can’t really say that the selling thing bothers me, it’s a business that needs to make money in order to survive and be able to provide service to you and other existing customers.

In this kind of economy it can mean the difference between being a business and being out of business, sadly.

I have to agree on all of those, plus with Alan on his #13 about pushy people trying to sell stuff. Ever since the economic downturn, everywhere you go you are pushed to buy something else. Even my massage salon sometimes tries to sell me a candle or lotion as I’m exiting my massage. I don’t mind the stuff being out, but let me enjoy my blissful after massage glow without putting me into the having to say no position.
