New Signature Club Status to give you and your wallet a good workout

UPDATE (per comments below): Friday, February 26 — This location is now open as Esporta, an affiliate of LA Fitness. Members of this LA Fitness location before the remodel are invited to return.
In June 2010, the LA Fitness at 5th and Spring Streets is reopening with rejuvenation. Within a short 5-month window, LA Fitness will have undergone a complete remodel literally going from string bean to bodybuilder.
Why the renovation? Imagine you’re at your local LA Fitness sculpting that perfect summer BOD and you realize your water bottle is still in your car. Rushing back to the parking deck, you see that your car was doing some heavy lifting without a spotter…yikes! You along with 39 others have discovered that your car is covered in ruble from a collapsed parking deck.
In what will be the one year anniversary of its temporary closure to its reopening, the Midtown LA Fitness was without parking in June of 2009 when their parking deck collapsed. Finally, with the parking deck under reconstruction, members can expect quite a few upscale changes, though there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Members to the Midtown LA Fitness were paying a monthly membership fee of 24.00 – 40.00 USD depending on the services they were enrolled into. The new membership fee for the same location because of the upgrades will start at a minimum of 50.00 USD. What does that mean for current members? It means an increase to your monthly bill. Here’s what you’ll get:
- Signature Club Status
- Towel service
- Exercise machines equipped with LCD screens
- Renovated locker room
If status is your thing, and the signature club options increase your desire to workout, then your good to go! Your monthly bill will increase to offset the new status. Not interested in paying additional funds? Good luck traveling to the Atlantic Station LA Fitness location where parking is always available (though it comes at a price).
