Subject: RE: LA Fitness or 24 hour fitness I go to the LA Fitness at both the Signal Butte and Greenfield locations. As I've said before, it's the "Mc Donalds" of gyms, but if all you really want to use it for is the pool, then it won't be bad. 1. They only have it taken up by a Whalearobics class once or twice a week. 2. They don't have hours taken up by kids' swim teams, open swim w/out lanes, etc. like a lot of regular pools do. This is the BEST reason for going to LA Fitness. You can show up basically ANY TIME you want and go lap swimming, unlike regular pools where you have to schedule your workout around their lap swimming times. 3. 90% of the time you'll be able to just jump in on an open lane because the people that go to LA Fitness just aren't swimmers. Every single time I go there, there might be 1-2 other "swimmers", and the rest of the time, a couple guys with basketball shorts down past their knees will jump in to windmill across for two laps with their heads above water, and then get out to go sit in the jacuzzi. 4. Bring your own music to listen to, even if it's just to have on while changing your clothes. The CRAPPOLA they have piped into the place will seriously make you feel like a sharp object is being driven through your skull. You can choose to ignore this warning, but I've warned you Edited by cordova61 2009-07-22 9:53 AM
