Epicenter, the workout facility at Bellevue Place, effective February 1st, is no longer in business. According to Merle Gregg, president of Epicenter Fitness, “LA Fitness has agreed to honor all active current member, prepaid members, and prepaid personal
training sessions.”
This came as a complete shock to some members as the closing was not messaged to customers before January 31st. Most learned the painful way of showing up to workout, and the doors were closed to the facility. It was also noted by some customers that Epicenter was still actively selling new memberships in their last week.
This leaves a limited number of workout facilities in the Downtown Area, with the main gyms of 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness, and the Bellevue Club.
All of these new office towers and condos seem to have their own workout rooms…that would be a good spot for mid priced place to eat.
Wow; I’ve been a member for almost 4 years (started in Seattle). I note that they so kindly helped themselves to my Feb08 dues.You should all look into that apsect. I wondered how long they could hold it together. I often questioned their poor management.
t would be good (for msft employees) if the Epicenter wre replaced with a new branch of the Pro Club… with more and more of a presence in DT bellevue for Microsoft they could really use another branch…
