  Ugh! I just found out my gym was sold :-( It's a local company that has multiple branches but not a huge amount. LA fitness just built a gym down the road from my location. Apparently LA fitness bought them. I'm only hearing it from somebody who knows people that work there so they haven't told us anything yet. I really hope that its just a change in owners and not completely getting rid of everything/everyone! I really only use it for Zumba but I like the time schedule and the girls I go to now. I do not want change!! The LA fitness' Zumba class times at the other location would never work for me. I'm going to be so sad if my Zumba times are changes!!! I feel like I've finally found something that works for me and don't want to lose it! Any other vents for the day?

  That stinks!  Do you have your zumba instructors info?  Maybe she will be teaching somewhere else?  I would be so sad if I lost my zumba instructor.

  The gym I used here was purchased by LA fitness last year. I haven't liked it as much since the change. The class times pretty much stayed the same, and they added some new ones. Some instructors changed, but a lot stayed.
  
  Make sure you have a copy of your contract. I had paid for childcare, and they took it off my account. I had to pull out my original contract and prove it was part of my membership. I had to do the same thing at renewal time. They wanted to try to charge me double what I had been paying, bu they were willing to keep me at my old rate as long as I could prove that was my membership rate before purchase.

  My gym closed (and then reopened later under new management/owners) this past summer.  It was traumatic!   I still go there, but it's just not the same.   So I feel you!

  I'm terrible I have no idea where my paperwork is! Currently LA fitness cost they have listed online is what I pay now so I'm hoping it wouldn't be hard to keep my rate. I have nothing else special with it at least.

  I thought about your posts about your gym closing!!! I remember thinking how annoyed I would have been if the same thing happened!!
