Oval Performance & Forensic Audits

There is some appalling stuff in there and while no clear fraud was found there is a large amount of missing documentation that currently has no conclusion beyond that.

PSA for the Oval. This thing is going to get someone hurt Part.2

This is a the Hoist Leg Curl.

Every single piece of major gym equipment comes with some type of maintenance schedule that this place clearly never follows.

How does the city pay millions towards this place every year and pay a few hundred thousand for people that just manage this area of the building but can't figure out the basic aspects of running a gym. This is a hazard to the community and a liability to the city which will have to cover the gross negligence when something bad happens.

This is the Precor Leg Curl. That setting essentially maybe a couple mm's of metal left to it and when it gives the machine could pop to the next slot and transform someone into a ostrich.

The city effectively has done little about how poorly ran this place is aside from taking away the funding and throwing up their arms like they have no other control of the corporation.
