People on the northwest side could get another fitness option to go with a brand new Gold's Gym that just opened near 86th Street and Michigan Road. LA FitnessA development fact sheet from Kite Realty Group shows a "proposed LA Fitness" location southwest of the intersection of 106th Street and Michigan Road, behind a National Bank of Indianapolis branch. The development, known as Weston Park, has a total of about 100,000 square feet of retail space.

    This is a good idea, as the area is really lacking in amenities such as these. It's interesting to note that these fitness places don't seem to be scared off by the new Jim Brainard Gold-Plated Carmel-Clay Monon Center. The Zarmel area where this LA Fitness is proposed could really use a large, full-service facility with pools, courts, etc. - like Lifetime Fitness. But with Five Seasons, and now the Monon Center, it'll be scaled-down places like Gold's (although it does have lap swimming) and LA that fill in the gaps.

    Also curious how this will impact the future construction of a Pike YMCA, which is intended to be similar to the Fishers branch. These are definitely the competition.

    There's an LA Fitness going in on East 146th Street in Carmel also in the same development as The National Bank of Indianapolis. This one is a Thompson Thrift project though.

    This is such and unstructured business. Easy to join hard to get out of. Treated like a low class citizen there yet I payed for this. Not everything is explained at the table when signing and have been lied to so much ever since. Ballys should be back in and la fitness out. True we need amenties here in CARMEL< NOT ZARMEL, however we dont need con artists.

    ERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE, DO NOT ENROLL YOURSELF HERE Worst Sales Manager Michael S. how can you be a Manager Mike? Basically he told me yesterday May 9th, 2012 'I do not want unhappy clients here" if you do not like LA FITNESS do not come back, leave the gym" this is so ridiculous Mike, you were very happy with me when you enroll me on May 16th, 2011 right? then I went with you to complain and you call me liar... so I left the gym, I closed my membership, Be careful with the sales people in LA FITNESS. Horrible Kids Club, more that 20 kids with just 2 girls "looking after them" while they use their iPhone or read a book. Staff here do not care about their clients, we are just a number.

  1. these guys only skill was to steal from other's hard earned savings.

  2. I voted for him last time and it WAS the LAST time. He needed to to quit running around the world on useless trips, and giving our $$ away to sports teams. I'll vote for anyone but Ballard next time. BTW...we gave $40M to the Pacers and cannot even watch the games on TV.

  3. For the people concerned about traffic, you should know that mixed-use projects (like the one being proposed), actually allows for and encourages more people to walk and bike, thereby mitigating additional automobile traffic. If we continue to design and build suburban-type projects in the City (i.e. automobile-oriented projects), we are not offering anything different from what the suburbs offer, which means we will continue to lose jobs/people to the suburbs. The reason Broad Ripple is somewhat successful today is that people want to live in a place that offers the convenience of being able to walk/bike to restaurants, retail, nightlife, the Monon, etc. Why would you not want to support a project that is complimentary to what already makes the area desirable? The real argument with this project should be its lack-luster design and layout, not the density.

  4. It is unfortunate that there is a perception that celebrities validate an event. The Indy 500 stands on its own, especially for those coming in from out of town. It was always so disturbing to read the gushing descriptions of Ashley Judd threaded throughout the local coverage. Very happy that era is at an end.

  5. Good ole' Obamacare. Thanks liberals and those who didn't bother to vote.
