Gym Member Complains About Not Being Able To Watch
A member of a Southside gym is complaining the owners of the gym are being unfair, saying that Fox News has been banned from TVs where she works out.
The only thing Susan Robinson said she likes more than her regular workouts is watching Fox News at the same time. Robinson said Thursday afternoon when she got to Just Fitness on Beach Boulevard she was told she couldn't watch Fox News in the facility anymore.
"He told me the owner wouldn't let Fox News be on, and I was taken aback by that," Robinson said of her conversation with an employee.
Easy fix. Don’t let your money go to said owner’s gym.
It’s time for her and all her pals to find a different place to work out. Plus be very very vocal about it.
To hell with them. Burn the place down. [/s]
Take your business elsewhere, ma’am...and tell ALL your friends.
lol, I love unexpected replies. That one made me grin :)
Our Golds carries FNC.
Wonder if that is system wide? They give us quite a few options.

Insist on a pro-rated refund, and then go where the stink is more tolerable.
I’ve been dealing with this w LA fitness, too. Stupid bastards. They are well within their rights to do this, but I’m also free to go elsewhere! God bless America.
It’s still a free country......for now.
If you’re going to post the article, post the whole article. The owner recanted after getting a bunch of flack and said the customer could watch Foxnews again. Let’s not start acting like the lame stream media here and only telling the parts of the story we wanr.

Time to leave the gym. Tell the communist owner to GFHS!
It is the prerogative of the gym to allow/disallow what’s on their TVs. It is the prerogative of their customers to purchase/not purchase memberships in said gym.
LOL..what a schmuck.
I belonged to a gym about 4 years ago and the members nearly always had it on CNN and when I would go in to work out, I would walk over and switch it. Never had a problem either. Must be my ‘bull in a china shop’ demeanor. LOL!
I can’t post the whole article - Free Republic rules.
My non-scientific observation at the Lifetime Fitness gym I belong to- the treadmills in front of the FOX News screen are ALWAYS in use vs. the treadmills in front of CNN / MSNBC.
Telephones really lit up HUH!!
GUess it’s time to take her business elsewhere, huh?
