The intention of placing that ugly prop to the entrance must be: to give a warm welcoming gesture to the customers but for my opinion it is a politically seen highly problematic prop. That is a gym, in Austria/Vienna, which is operated by Austrians, its not a restaurant own by Chinese people. There is indeed no meaning to place this ugly prop in the entrance. If they like to they could put there a traditional Austrian man prop wearing dirndl welcoming the gym guests! (I would even find that one problematic: which century are we living in please?) So: Why a Chinese man? Are we in China? Secondly I must say at the gym, fitness machines are not very good, I can tell since I am someone with an extremely busy travel schedule and have been working out in diverse studios on this planet in the recent years, so I think for this price the quality could be a bit better though... And some music in the dressing room wouldn't definitely harm. Lastly at the studio the trainers are quite friendly but there is a woman at the desk with red hair, who is extremely unfriendly, she even doesn't look in your eyes while talking, she never smiles.

The customer relationship is appalling, considering the price segment and the self-proclaimed "exclusive/luxury" gym. Beware of everything that you discuss with the sales manager, Alexander Pazourek, you might be in for a lot of surprises after you sign the contract. The spinning courses are limited, and the only way to reserve a place is to come in more than 30 minutes early to put a towel on your bike. The schedule of the gym is for weekend days until 9, but you must go to lockers area 30 in advance, so 8 30 the latest. Instructors there are like overzealous policemen. They will come at 8 30 sharp to tell you that it's time to go to the locker. The only other time I was approached by an instructor was to ask me if I have a towel while I was running on the treadmill, and after showing it to her she just said "Oh, I did not see it because it was black". On the good side, go there if you want to make use of their 25m pool as it is big, clean and there are only few people.
