I couldn't believe it. I was so upset today about the possibility of us closing (Well more upset about failing at this business) And I got a text from a member to come to the gym ASAP....
'Corporate was there taking pics and measurements. In 5 years have never seen corp at my club. The gentleman had lots of positive things to say which was good, but he said he will be sending us a quote for modernization and the design team would reach out and then come and do the work?
Of course no discussion of how we will get the money from our Non-Profit Club!!
PS he said they are headed to Wisconsin next for those of you up there

Well get ready for some mass closings! That is what I will do rather than fund this modernization for the nonprofit club that I volunteer at. I'm looking forward to it.
I wonder if they want to have fewer locations. Somehow maybe they now think this is better. It will leave a bad taste with the members who appreciate the gym as it is and now it will need to close because of the forced modernization and added subscription fee from MyZone. Corporate must be REALLY desperate to make this move. And somehow they think they will have some success stories from the modernized clubs? I recall one person posted that he modernized and then had to close due to cheap competition. So it didn't work when a PF moved in. How will it work when a PF is already operating which caused a significant reduction in revenue?

That's exactly what they want!! fewer, "BETTER" locations. With a fresh crop of wallets to drain
When will they start charging for MyZone?? I didn't even consider that.
Hopefully the person that modernized and got shut down by PF will comment on this thread.

If there's any doubt on how snap will operate, just remember the acronym WWSD or WWLD (What would Stalin/Lenin do?)

That scene in the movie, Waterworld, where the old guy working in the oil tank in the villains' ship, who is relieved to see someone had dropped a flare into his work area where he slaved for so long blowing it up with him inside and all he had to say before it blew was, "Oh, thank God!".......That'll be me when they see my gym and decide to close me rather than modernize.

If anyone speaks to them at their gym, ask where they may be headed next. I want to fuck with them, power reset my doors and go sit in my bathroom for 10.

They are contractors so now employed by Snap directly...but mine told me they were going to wisconsin next. Of course this was awhile back so they've already been there by now.
I got an email saying I will get my "design" soon.
This is after I already ordered the flag and bought the paint on my own and did a pretty decent job modernizing my club for less than $2,000.

So, I wonder if they gave Lake Mills, WI their estimate? That place is in desperate need of an upgrade. They're not even up to 2009 standards. Damn disengaged owners. Oh and that location is unstaffed 3 days a week.
