Tweetidk...all the gyms up here say they are doing well....i got a aquaintence (friend of a friend thing) that owns 2 snap fitness and is about to go after a 3rd...cant be all bad!
TweetAre you kidding me? I had no idea. Makes me wonder if my friends who own gyms are feeding me a line of bull when they say their gyms are "recession proof". Anybody have any thoughts on this?

I LOVE BOOBOOKITTY...
TweetThey closed the one that was nearby me last year.
TweetI dont think gyms in general are recession proof, I think the gyms with pools and other bs you dont need are gonna be hurting b/c of the extra cost. Ballys failed bc they had the worst customer service in the business. I remember when I was a trainer there they said that ballys gets more new members each year than any other gym in the US, however they lose the most per year as well. If I remember right it was about 1,000,000 new members a year but teh same lost.
Tweet^holy crap! Retention is EVERYTHING
Tweetya I dont know if that was true or if they were just trying to motivate us for treating the customers better, but it seemed true to me
TweetNo gym, or any kind of business for that matter, is recession proof. I remember the first Gold's Gym I joined back in 1985 closed down less than 2 years after I joined. The owner told me that it costs him $10,000 a month just to have the name "Gold's" on his window. So prior to closing, he scraped the word off and only allowed the word, "Gym" on his window.
TweetI can't believe they didn't shut the one in League City (South of Houston) down- its old and run down, nit to mention 24hr and LA Fitness is stealing all their business
