That sucks, you breathe in right before going for your last tumbling pass or your dismount on bars when you're tired and breathing harder and then you have to breathe in those chemicals - yuck! Guess the gym was just looking for a warehouse.

Try the Environmental Health Department. Their website is http://www.cdc.gov/Environmental/ .

How do you get air quality tested for around outside the gym? Gym is right next to a factory emitting strong smelling toxins...
