Unforunately LA is very likely about to be sold to the owner's sister. LA always had the best balance sheet of the big chain gyms but the last few years have really hurt them. A big part of it was renovating the clubs to put in the CrossFit / TRX / functional stuff - they were 5 years too late on that and have had no return on it.LA are always good gyms, I was a district manager for a while and was grossing 40k monthly in PT sales in SD, met the CEO wife MISHU WELSH in lake forest OC at an elite meeting I saw her walk into my gym under cover, and fire almost an entire staff, tiny lil jap lady
They do have a new concept called Club Studio which is a higher end gym but I can't see how charging even more for memberships will get them out of their financial hole. We have a Club Studio scheduled to open here in August so I will check it out if it does open.
