Indeed, however this particular gym is primarily a gymnasium, and there are many little kids using the climbing wall (often unsupervised as well). I can make the decision to avoid it, but the kids can't! I am just not sure who else to get in touch with to have it fixed! When I raised it (for the second time) with management I was told it kept the kids "on their toes" when they grabbed spinning and split holds!
