Many of us have gym membership or attend classes at a local gym on a frequent basis: in America, gyms are a $700 million industry, and it’s estimated that 12% of the population regularly attend the gym.

More LA Weight Loss Centers Closing in Tennessee

I have received an email from an employee at a Tennessee LA Weight Loss Center in regards to centers closing in her area shortly. If you are a member of one of the centers in Memphis, Germantown or Bartlett TN, you need to get a refund. At least attempt to get your money back. They are closing in a matter of weeks.

She states that if you are presently a member, you should already notice that all the counselors are gone. They got rid of everyone of them because they didn’t want them to tell any of the clients the Centers were closing.
