LA Fitness is making every effort to address the issue. They now have cardio-fitness classes ready to chase the thieves and combine cardio exercise along with community safety. $90.00 per class. If you want, you can also take their kick boxing class so you can beat the crap out of the perp. The police can't do it, the criminal justice system doesn't do it....but the cardio-kickboxing-perp chasing from LA Fitness will do it.

It's all the gypsys and Mexicans. La fitness, Walmart, and dollar stores attract the wrong crowd

It's the gypsys. They moved in our neighborhoods. They scammed and moved right in. There's 3 on my block, none of them work and always have guests til 4am and yet they have no problems paying their bills. My wife and I barely use electricity and are barely home, because we both have full-time jobs, yet we have a hard time paying the bills. These scum bags don't work, party all night and have no problems paying bills.
