I'm writing again because of what I have experienced too many times now.
We use LA Fitness for the pool alone. Several times now we have prepared to go to the gym, driven all the way down there, only to find out that the pool is closed. This isn't like canceling a class or closing off a treadmill. Those members can easily just hop on a different machine or do an alternative workout. But when we're in our swimming clothes and swim caps, we have no choice but to just turn around and go home.
Our current option is just to call ahead every single time and ask if the pool is open so we don't waste our time. We're of course not going to do that. Can't they post on their website that the pool is closed so people don't take the time go all the way down there, only to find out it's not open?
For the record, it was closed today because "there's no lifeguard." That is somewhat of a joke because anybody who has swam there knows the lifeguards are kids who don't do anything but stare at their phones the entire time.
