We have not been given any information. Any new Tenant coming in is going to lose some of the regulars because we lost confidence in the possible reopening and we need to make other arrangements. It is really unfortunate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-87222545768697920302011-12-26T19:25:49.178-05:002011-12-26T19:25:49.178-05:00I belong to this gym and am very disappointed that...I belong to this gym and am very disappointed that it is closing. I hope that Ahmed is able to retain the lease and keep it going. He is a certified fitness trainer and massage therapist.

One of the main reasons I check this blog regularly is to see what is happening regarding "whats going where."<br /><br />By the way, I thought they were going to demolish the old Shell station and build a Mexican restaurant? Looks like they are keeping the old structure which means people will be eating in old auto service bays. How appetizing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-49853203842474020962011-12-23T13:43:06.035-05:002011-12-23T13:43:06.035-05:00Its a shame its closing down.

Not to mention coaching the lifts by someone with so much experience. <br />I do not go, I lift in my basement (squats, deads, presses, rows, and bench pressing). However I was going to have my daughter take lessons this summer when she turned 9. I hate to lose this resource from Annandale. I know the slow lifts but have zero experience in teaching the quick onesZac in Annandalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-37638655836383659422011-12-23T12:31:22.529-05:002011-12-23T12:31:22.529-05:00The comments on Yelp relate directly to Foundation...The comments on Yelp relate directly to Foundation Fitness that operates in the MAXX Fitness gym. I purchased a massage Groupon through Foundation Fitness and found out that MAXX Fitness never sold any Groupons.

Then I went and took a look at some of the comments on Yelp. This place sounds like it was run by somebody who didn't know the first thing about business. Couple people stating that nobody would answer the phone, appointments and Groupons not being honored etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-90676698479289391522011-12-22T17:47:34.793-05:002011-12-22T17:47:34.793-05:00Any information on exactly what gym will be moving...Any information on exactly what gym will be moving in after the renovation work?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
