    Here's the thing, this is a private business. They're free to close if they want to and they don't have to give a reason why. I get that the community wants/needs a gym but you can't force businesses to stay if they don't want to

We as white folks really need to stop the hate. It is killing our children and us. African Americans are not oit here stealing like these companies say, this is plain racism.

    What makes me feel sad is that my black people don't look at this as an opportunity. For example the gym is leaving. Find someone in your community that can manage a gym. Ask that company that leaving to keep all the equipment and supplies for a monthly fee until paid off. Now you still have a gym in your community. Easy as 1 2 3. I sometimes wonder about my self but than realize that it's just common sense.

    Rent and utilities are going up everywhere. Would the members all stay if they replied that the only way to stay open is to double the fees? That is what my local gym tried, turned out that less than 10% of the people were willing, so it closed anyway.
