Question LA Fitness Question

0 Upvotes

LA Fitness on Cundles Rd charges members first and last month membership payments among an initial fee and annual fee. If they collect last months from all members at the time they begin, what do they do with in between starting and the member’s last months? Do they invest it? If they pool every members last months fee, that must be a significant amount of money that then allows them some form of privilege no? Yet, the member doesn’t benefit from this on their last month. Like, when you rent and provide last months rent at the beginning, your landlord is legally obliged to provide you interest on it.

Do you think they use for something?

Looking For Sports bar for WNBA game tonight?

2 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone knows of any sports bars in Barrie that typically play wnba games? I have low hopes for tonight since the game is at the same time as NBA games and an NFL game, but any recommendations would be appreciated! would love to watch what i’m sure will be an amazing game 5 with others

Just to preface, yes I know you can ask any bar to turn a game on. By bars playing the game, i mean bars that will have the game on with volume, not a small tv in the corner with no sound. or bars that have advertised they will be showing the playoffs

Rant Mapleview is soooo BUSY

27 Upvotes

I leave work everyday at 4:30 and it takes me like 30-50 mins to get home cause Mapleview is absolutely cooked and everyone is cutting each other off to make things faster for themselves! I hate that Barrie has become so annoying to drive in! Never used to be like this.

Looking For La Fitness Personal Trainer

0 Upvotes

I am looking for recommendations for personal trainers currently working at either the north end or south end location.

I have multiple personal training sessions I need to use up, but at this point anyone I had in the past no longer works there.

I’d prefer someone with around ten years experience + and experience in a personal fitness show.

The last time I had a 25 year he was good but was not even paying attention to my reps and talking with other staff during sessions.

Excited to get started with a new trainer!

As for my profile I’m female 35 getting fully back into a healthy lifestyle and enjoy strength training.

Politics Election coverage tomorrow

9 Upvotes

Hey Barrie friends. Does anyone know if there will be live coverage anywhere for the Barrie election? I assume Rogers will cover it but I don’t have Rogers. Is there anywhere posting there will be coverage? I assume since most of its online voting, the results should be in rather quickly after 8pm closes.

News Barrie sees Canada’s steepest annual rent increase as city’s median asking prices climb

Again?

According to the rental aggregate site Zumper’s monthly rental report, the median asking rent for a one-bedroom unit in Barrie reached $1,980 in September — up 13.1 per cent compared to the same time last year. Two-bedroom units also became more expensive, with the median asking price rising to $2,130, an annual increase of 6.5 per cent.

I thought I had read this article recently, but that was last month:

The rental platform Zumper says rent prices in Barrie have rapidly increased over the course of a month, faster than any other city across the country. It rose to the number seven spot of most expensive cities to rent in Canada, up 6.3 per cent. The average price is $1,870 for a one-bedroom rental unit in Barrie.

What is going on with rental prices in Barrie?
