I didn't renew my membership because of the way LA Fitness has their TVs. The gym I go to has a tv on almost every machine and all you need is a set of earphones. You control the channel.

When I went to LA Fitness, they only had 1 tv with Fox News and you couldn't see it if there was no machine available near it. Also, I would have to bring a small radio and tune to that channel to even hear it. ot a good set up.

I never had a problem Fox news was on 4 tv’s and local gym management was forced to change.
Interesting that last week I did see 2 people that worked for Organizing for America in the gym with their uniforms wonder if that influenced them.

Reminds me of a job I used to work at years ago.

They had a “community” radio and the employees that worked in the shop would take turns choosing what station to listen to. You had to be there 6 months before you could choose (union shop with idiotic rules). Usually the choices were country or rap, with lots of hard feelings going on either way.

When I got my 6 months in and got to select the station I turned on Rush. That lasted about 15 minutes and then the leadman (actually a leadgal) came out and turned it. “There’s been too many complaints” she said.

“You didn’t hear me complain when they were playing their crap” I replied.

“Tough”. “Choose something else of forfeit your turn”.

So I spent ten minutes scrolling through the stations at full volume until I found a station playing East Indian music. I left it there (at full volume) and went back to work.

They never let me choose the station again...
