Hello,
I have belonged to 24 Hour Fitness at Lakeshore Towers for a while. Over the past few days, the gym has gone from being a great place to workout to near chaos. Why? 24HF recently closed its South Coast Sport Level club location on Anton for three months for remodeling. As a way of accommodating those members, they opened up the Lakeshore Towers branch to those members during the remodel. Now, try going there after work and seeing if you can work out. What a mess! The locker room is now packed. There are waiting lines at the cardio machines. Unbelievable. When I went to one of the managers to talk about not being able to find a locker, he pointed to a row of lockers in the main lobby (not in a locker room) and said I can use them. So, let me get this straight. When I go take a shower, I am supposed to walk out of the shower with a towel around my waist into the lobby to change. Great!
He also said that the managers were offering concessions to all of the Ultra Sport members such $20 off per month for three months or free valet parking. Frankly, $20 per month is not a big deal to me. What is a big deal to me is: (1) finding a locker (2) working out (3) leaving within two hours. That was not possible last night. This was an absolutely brain dead thing to do.
I am debating whether to keep my membership.
I suggest that everyone who is a member of Lakeshore Towers write to the OCregister and let them know what's happening (cperkins@ocregister.com and lhall@ocregister.com).
