I’ve been a member of @24hourfitness since 2001. Over the last two decades, I watched the company evolve from its sale to private equity back to private ownership and eventually into its current corporate structure.
I recently received notice that they are closing my account because the Richmond, CA (Magic Days) location is shutting down. That is the club where I first bought my All Sport membership. Looking at the contract, I understand they have the right to terminate the agreement at any time.
Still, as I was working out in a small local gym today, it hit me that I have been a member of 24 Hour Fitness for more than half my life. The club has been as much a fixture in my world as any school I ever attended. It is personal for me. I spent a few years there as a trainer when I was a young adult and even attended the memorial for Erich Jenkins at the San Ramon club.
I am writing this partly as a memo to myself to mark the end of an era but mostly just as a final farewell. 24 Hour was a huge part of my story and it is strange to see that chapter finally close.
I had @innoutburger in Arizona yesterday and had to return just to see if it was a fluke. It wasn't the fries were crispy on both sides. I almost went in to ask the manger what they were doing.
The burger was still perfection and the middle of the fry was the same not the ends

If they would have just told us Civil War was made by Tubi we could have set more realistic expectations.
Working out is funny.
You either do it consistently or take the 3rd day off and start all over. At least mentally.
