How would you handle these awful people?

Question

I live in Europe and I started going to this gym a month ago.

Their doors open at 8 am but the programs start at 8:30 including the rooms with the machines.  
I use the treadmills and step masters.  

In order for me to get 1 hour exercise in the morning (my only free time) and still make it to work on time I must start my work out at 8:20.  

These awful people will not allow me on the machines until 8:30 they even went as far as to lock the room until 8:30.   Thus I get 50 minutes workout because I will NOT make it to work on time if I do not leave at 9:20.

I have explained if they would allow me to start 10 minutes earlier but they insist the gym opens at the time stated even though they are there at 8 am Why are these people so heartless and cruel?

It's their equipment, it's their gym, if you can't persuade the manager, then you'll just have to live with it or find another way to workout.

I don't think these people are awful for insisting you follow the same rules as everyone else.  They are not being mean to you; the equipment is available form 8:30 AM on.  Surely you knew that when you joined the gym.
