[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

But gyms are always glomming onto fads. They have to keep things fresh to bring people in. They change up the classes more yoga, (less step aerobics or kick boxing), buy new equipment, provide new offerings. Fads come and go, everyone knows that.
People are always latching onto whatever the latest fitness craze is because they want to be in shape but it's hard to stick with it. So, they try something new hoping it sticks. [/quote]

Good point. My gym has free weights, weight benches, TRX straps, and the cable reistance machine. I guess that stuff never goes out of style.[/quote]

I don't think basketball is a hot trend whose time has gone. The courts are always crowded at night![/quote]
