slow service understaffed personnel

The gym has adequate equipment. It contains three treadmills and two stationary bikes.

I was quite disappointed by the slow service at the pool. I had to wait over 30 minutes for a drink order to be taken. The staff seemed understaffed for the number of guests present.
