Lord's Gym Sweating it out in an (almost) empty complex

Got some pics of the complex that houses my favorite Gym this week.   It is enormous, and at least half empty!    


There is a great teriyaki and sub shop in the complex, but most of the building sits empty, making it a hard boat to keep afloat for all involved.  Get out the lifevests and jump, or get more people out of the water?  With state workers preparing for a 3% cut in pay come July, the last thing to be thinking of is increasing monthly spending. 


I say doing something to improve your overall health and activity while avoiding rush hour traffic is cost effective, but that is my opinion (and personal result).  For the cost of a few latte's, you can burn off the flab and blah of the cubicle routine.  That is unless you are one that likes to sit at work, in your car, and on your couch as much as humanly possible. 


The gym is working to keep operating in the area and has been signing up needed members, and as a bonus summer is free for new members.  A three day pass is offered for those who want to check it out, and classes are free to members.   


This is a great time to join the gym, as you know, we do live in the rainiest city on the planet and warm dry days will not last.  It is great to have a dry place to work out without tangling with traffic, noise, or interrupting requests for your attention.  Many like to catch up on the news while working out.  Some prefer the group classes or pairing up with a trainer or workout buddy. 


Perhaps taking a break to sweat efficiently and purposely makes it less difficult to work more things out in the 24/7.  Losing 8 dress sizes and a ton of stress sure is a bonus I am not complaining about!  


Go Lord's Gym, it ain't over till it's over.    Maybe a child care center, full service laundry, youth center, computer and driving school and a lot of other one of a kind businesses will set up shop in the complex, making this a more rounded destination for community. 


Let's get back to business that matters.  Today is the best day to sign up at Lord's gym.  The price is right and the staff is top notch.  Work it out!

Lord's Gym-The Story Chronicles of a local Gym

If you can use this gym, this is about the best time to purchase a membership. They are also doing no contract options and always will do a three day free trial for interested persons to check it all out. I got my workout in today, after missing it all week.

Chronicles of a local Gym


June 2011
Lord's Gym notified its members that they would need to consider options to meet obligations. They had about one week to come up with twice as many members, funding for the youth program or some other solution to meet expenses.


This gym spent one year setting up in a sales office and has been operating in the current location for two years, total of three years.


Half a week later, parties involved have come together to see what each can do. Instructors are donating time, employees are taking less hours, investors(owners) will continue to invest, the staffed hours are cut back some, fundraising and new membership efforts continue, and all existing members are being asked to increase their dues temporarily or longer, and all limited members asked to consider moving to Gold member status, which allows access for workouts on the weekends as well.


Things are buzzing at the gym.  


A lot of prayers and pull. Hope good things will come here, they already have these past two years.

Upgraded to a Gold membership today, a very good buy. 


My husband is considering working out during the air show next week as he watches the planes fly by...


....and I offered to ride my bike most days to cover the expense, so if I keep my  word, I could end up  getting even more workout than I bargained for.
