Magic Johnson 24-Hour Sport
Posted at December 12, 2005 08:29 AM in Health/Fitness .
A few weeks ago I thought about joining a 24-Hour Fitness facility near me. I was stopped by a friend who told me “just wait,” she said. “They’re building a 24-Hour Magic Sport facility down the street.” I wanted to know how she knew this because there are no signs posted around the new construction. I knew something huge was going up in the neighborhood but as far as I could tell it was some sort of business something or other. There are signs posted about some sort of food store business development something but there is nothing there indicating a 24-Hour Fitness.
Last night, my friend came by and in her hands was a card confirming what she told me and I was delighted. Not only will it be a Magic Johnson facility, it is a 24-Hour Fitness Sport facility meaning, basketball, maybe a pool, a sauna or steam room and oh my!
I’m glad I did not sign up over in yuppie-ville. At my age, I find I’m more interested in hanging around buppies, not yuppies. Knowing this facility is within walking distance from me is wonderful. Knowing I will have access to the club 24-hours is another plus. I can’t wait.
As it turns out, my friend knows a number of people who represent business development within my community and she actually got wind of this a few months ago and hoped I would not go out and join another club. Actually, a few of my friends are interested in signing up at this club and dropping their existing memberships. It will be great to have a place to go, within the community, which will also give all of us an opportunity to get to know some of our neighbors and do a little networking—there’s a lot about my community that is very interesting.
Anyway, I’m very excited about the proposition of a club right around the corner from me—well, let’s say less than 5 minutes away. I’m also glad it’s a Sport facility—the one in yuppie-ville Pasadena is not a Sport.
This morning, as I exited my door, posted on the door handle was the news: Magic Johnson Sport is now enrolling! I'll probably now sign up for one of those "go anywhere" memberships, including yuppie-ville. Heck, I might even go for a personal trainer who might motivate the flubber off of me. I’m so loving life right now.
