The Problem
Class Capacity Problems represent another major challenge. Member complaints frequently center around classes being consistently full, with frustrated customers stating "The classes are always full and I can't get in". This issue forces gyms to implement waitlist systems and suggests alternative class times, but doesn't address the underlying capacity planning problems.
