I’m assuming they closed down or relocating. They have a ton of their machines sitting outside on the sidewalk in the parking area. Anyone who belonged there have the background story?

So you're saying there is free equipment available.

Their version of the Peleton looked rode hard. Wouldn’t mind the elliptical. My knees are shot.

Probably depends on how fast you can load and drive.

Time for some UNPLANNED DONATIONS. They got any Pelotons?

Someone saw a mouse this morning and we can’t find it. Maybe come in and help instead of spreading internet rumors.

Lease was up and they rather focus on standalone buildings rather than leasing inside others.

That’s too bad. It was a great location.

So they are just relocating?

Closed yesterday.

They have another big location on Seigen, so apparently the numbers dictated that keeping Perkins Rowe open wasn’t feasible.

Sucks for me, as that was my gym. Actually just left the Seigen location to cancel my membership.

Chalk it up to a Covid casualty. One half of the reviews were complaining about mask nazis and the others were bitching about not enforcing mask wearing enough

How many were bitching about the maintenance guy not being there because he kidnapped and molested a woman?

Build one in Gonzales and I’d happily switch from PF. They just replaced 70% of their gear and are even more focused on ridding themselves of anyone who lifts to build strength.

Perkins Rowe upped the lease and they told them to kick rocks.

That place will sit empty for awhile.

The empty area to the right would have been perfect for adding on because it’s been empty for years. Now that whole area is wiped out on the bottom floor. I think their is a military recruiting office and an accounting firm upstairs IIRC. Bold move by the people leasing in this economy. Let’s see how it pays off for them. Half the time the people making these decisions are in some
Desk in Texas or California.
