Staff members reserving spots(rant)

I have been working out at orange theory for a couple years now and always noticed this but it usually was only 1 or 2 people, so not enough that it would really affect class sign ups. Last week though I walked into class over 10mins early because I wanted to guarantee a spot on the treadmill. There were 4 members in the building including me and every treadmill but 1 was already filled. I then over heard the coach saying to multiple people they “already got them.” Another instance last week was I again showed up early for class wanting to start on the rower. The entire rowing side was crossed off and I was informed by the SA everyone would be starting on the rower today(totally fine if that’s actually the case,) but then once class started a few people were starting on the rower. Just had to share my frustrations.
