Any particular circumstances?
Yes, tons.
they fail dude to locking Memebers to long term contract , Not being strict with members about keeping gym room floor clean and racking and re racking dumbells these are 2 reason why i cancel my gym memberships with gyms and never return back to them
that's kind of a broad question......besides places like anytime and gold's are doing pretty well
Golds was one of the ones I went to that was shut down.
Elaborate. I have been a member of 2 different gyms that have failed and have seen a ton go the way of the dinosaur. Is the equipment too expensive and the rent too high usually?
a golds gym in Hawthorne,ca. that was built maybe 8 years ago, shut down this month
Every gym I have ever been to, I might pay for the first year up front in cash (I would NEVER EVER sign a contract) then I find that they forget and I just continue to to go for years and nobody ever says anything as I become real friendly with the workers and owners. I think the last time I paid for a Full membership (in cash) was in 2000.
one thing i never liked about gold's is all the nickle and diming they do. they advertise $9.99 a month no contract but they don't tell you the down is like $200. i've gotten them to drop the down before but they still charge a $60 "maintenance fee" every year.
Also lifting has become so popular many schools,churches,community colleges , town rec centers ,apartment complexes have good gyms thus taking away buisness. Even mma training and boxing centers
