[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in MD, but does Centreville skew older age-wise? Seems like Lifetime is making the changes only there, and the other locations will still have the kids camps and the like. Maybe it says more about Centreville than Lifetime Fitness in general.

My gut tells me pickleball is a fad. Just like tennis was in the 80s (does anyone walk around in tennis outfits any more, headband and all? look at how they dressed on Three's Company), and aerobics (Jane Fonda style), and shuffleboard, and bocce ball.[/quote]

No, they seem to be getting rid of basketball and other kid-friendly amenities at all but their highest tier (most expensive, fanciest) gyms. They are ripping the courts out from Fairfax, Centreville, and Ashburn. Not sure where else they have gyms.

Centreville skews young actually, and is really diverse with a lot of low-income people. But the people who pay $200 a month for Centreville Lifetime probably don't exactly reflect the entire area's demographics.[/quote]
