Our Subliminal Gym
I have decided that LA Fitness in North Seattle [130th & Aurora] is politically biased. When the DNC was on last week, it was only broadcasting that on two of the 10 flat screens. This week, I have noticed that the RNC was being broadcast on six of the 10 flat screens the past few nights. Multiply our gym location, but the company's 680 gym outlet nation wide, and what is the message they are conveying? I do feel it a tad bothersome when corporations try to influence personal choice. But then talking out the other side of my mouth, I do this for a living. I'm always crafting messages that influence people to change, based on bottom line ROI of my company. Funny! I guess I can't be too bothered about this.

Actually, I was watching TV last night and realized the RNC was on all three networks, whereas the DNC was only on one the previous week. I think it's the networks that are biased.
Very interesting observation.
And I have to ask, how do you like LA Fitness?
We like LA Fitness a lot. It's brand new and does not always smell like a locker room. Older gyms with poor circulation tend to always stink. We joined the one on 130th & Aurora, knowing that one will be opening shortly in Ballard in Leary Way closer to our home, and we can just transfer to that one.
