Free 2 months at the gym

The LA Fitness I go to has been remodeling for the past 3-4 months. The first thing they did was move the treadmills from upstairs downstairs, making things more crowded. Then they took out a bunch of the free weights and moved the treadmills there. Then they took out about half of the treadmills and put them in the rooms they have the exercise classes.

Then about 3 weeks ago they took out about half of the upper and lower body machines. We have 2 leg extension machines, 2 seated leg curl machines, and a calf extension machine. That's over half of the machines gone; the leg extension, hip abduction machines, standing calf, seated leg press, and the other calf machine.

They took a bicep and tricep machine, 2 ab machines, a deltoid machine, a couple shoulder and chest press machines. They left the cable row machines nobody uses.

It has been 3-4 months and the remodel is still not done. You now have to wait 5-10 minutes for a machine, and a lot of the machines are gone, so you have less options to work out with.

I was slightly annoyed last night and decided to complain to the Nikki, the manager. I told her that I am paying good money to come here each month (really only $8.50 or so- we're on a family plan with 4 people for $34), but I didn't feel that I am getting the most out of my membership and was inclined to cancel because so many machines are gone, and working out can be an all day thing with having to wait for all of the machines. I said that it was unacceptable and was very upset. She said that she would give me 2 free months, which should be how long it takes to finish the remodel. Good.
