LA Fitness is the shite.

I'll probably add another gym membership when it opens.

I talked to some of the employees there today. They got screwed more than anyone else in my opinion. They found out Bally's was closing yesterday when members were coming in asking them questions about checks they were receiving in the mail.

No notice really. Just "oh yeah, come this Tuesday you won't have a job". Some of them were legitimately choking up while talking about it.

I heard it is going to be a rent-to-own rims shop.

Is Lifetime Fitness opening a location in Baton Rouge? I've been impressed with them here.

Don't know. I heard RUMORS today that LA Fitness may move in to the current Bally's location though.

If dominos is offering buy one pizza get one free if I pay online, then show up at my door with only one pizza, should I just accept it because I only paid for one pizza?

What's the scoop on Lifetime? Prices? Contract? Big place?

These threads make me want to pay extra for the school gym that is well funded by federal dollars

Lifetime is very nice. Expensive though. The "gold" level place was $65 a month and they do not negotiate. Month to month memberships and you can cancel with a 1 month notice. They also charged like $150 for a startup fee or whatever they call it.

Inside it had everything you could possibly want.

LA Fitness is awesome. Cheap too. $24.99 a month and like $99 to sign up.

The downfall of Perkins Rowe begins. Next thing to go in will be a nail shop, followed by a Super Weave Express.

RIP.

It attracts the dredges of douchery here in South Florida so I have to go at 5 am. I admit that I'm pretty bummed that they are finally coming to BR after I moved. Add them to the list of Costco and Trader Joes.

Jen is Lifetime expected to be in BR? My gym membership actually ends today

If it's worth it, I might not renew and just go somewhere that does month to month and wait on Lifetime.

Good idea? Or bad?
