Blueprint for bust
So I walk into the gym today and notice that some of Retro Fitness stickers and signage had been taken down and replaced with stuff that said “Royal Fitness”, WTF? Evidently overnight the gym had morphed, no longer being a Retro Fitness franchise even though every piece of equipment has the logo slapped all over it.
To me this is a path I have seen before at Powerhouse Gym, the old shit hole I was a member of for years. They had a musical chair front desk staff, then they dumped the Powerhouse franchise and within a year they closed the doors and like a thief in the night pulled all of the equipment out, even though they were selling one and two year memberships right up until the time they closed.
I would not be surprised at all if the same basic scenario plays out here. I certainly hope not. Despite the drama and several annoying aspectsabout the gym, overall I am satisfied in what it offers me in equipment and location (close enough for lunch workouts). If it goes under I would need to do an overhaul of my gym options since there is no way in hell I would consider going back to the lunk alarm infested Planet Fcking Fitness.
