Pr1mroz said all four treadmills are rarely occupied at the same time — “maybe 15 minutes every day.”
He also wrote: “I did a test today and for four hours there was at least one treadmill free, and I was alone in running for more than three hours. There are many days. [when] “Capacity never hits, and on the days it does, it’s a very limited time slot.”
The man was told the new law “came from the administration.”
The building management, however, decided to have a maximum usage time of 45 minutes for the cardio machines – and sent an email to all residents of the building.

“I’m 99% sure it was aimed at me. For three hours this morning, a woman (I believe the building manager’s assistant) informed him of the rule,” he wrote – “He hit me on the shoulder.”
By then, the other three treadmills were empty – and Pr1mrose was told the rule “came from management”.

Pr1mrose wrote that this rule was not published anywhere in the gym and was not the previous policy.
“I really don’t understand, but, Reddit, am I missing something and am I really an a*****e?” The user asked others.
