It's been public knowledge that the Ballys fitness chain is struggling. I have been a member for the past 15 years or so. I first joined in Canton when I was still living at home.
Anyway, I was going to this one on Monroe Street in Toledo for the past month. I was doing a spinning class (bike riding) to break up the boredom of being on a treadmil. I was going Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings for this class. This morning, the instructor told me that today was the last Saturday spinning class. I was shocked. I asked what happened. She said this past Wednesday, the employees were told that this Ballys location would be closing on December 17th.
Luckily for the instructor, she will be teaching classes at the Ballys on Airport Highway in Toledo.
I am surprised at the timing of the closing. Mid-December? Before people make their New Year's Resolutions to lose weight and get fitness club memberships? Times must be tough indeed.

That's a shame. What will happen to your membership? Will they refund your money for the remainder of your term that you have paid for? I hope so.
I'm listening to your music on the sidebar. You've got some nice choices there. Neil Diamond is one of my favorites. Nice photo too! :-)
Wow, that's pretty sad. I always wished we had a nice gym here. Something like a Bally's or a 24 Hour Fitness. We have a Gold's Gym, but it's very small and rather disappointing. I've been a member many times. Good luck with that!
LOVE the photo as well! I'm happy to see you are being a "tad" more creative with your blog! ;)
I need to put a new photo up on mine. One day.
=)
Daisy...I'll just go to the other Ballys for to workout once a week. If they shut down, then I'll go to the Rec Center on campus. I can go there three times a week for free. Might as well take advantage of that.
Bella...what can I say? I take my creative ideas from you. :) Are the kids getting restless being this close to the break?
The boys are officially counting down the days now!
You may be as well!
=)
