unfortunately all these gyms have been bought by bigger investment companies who had their teams do research into where the most money is made. And you guessed it, the mostmoney comes from middle aged women, seniors and the general fitness crowd. These companies also count on the fact that less than 10% of the members will show up in a given day, so now they made money off of people who aren't even using the equipment. As many of you know I work for one of these "fitness centers" and while I don't agree completely with policies, people also know what they are getting when they join. My advise is support your "mom and pop" type gyms because these are ususally owned by more hardcore type folks. I wish I had the time to train elsewhere but with an 18month old and a job that requires a decent amount of travel, I'm stuck training at work.
