“Is those possible? To answer that question. The second presenter offers multiple diff options. But with Lifetime Fitness, I can tell you from the gyms that we work out at, they have different varieties of Lifetime Fitness. So any machine, I don't want to say any machine, but pretty close to any machine. It may not be like pre-core. Lifetime has a similar machine based on my experience in gyms.”
“Well, we got a, from both of them, we got a pretty good feel of the equipment.”
“Well, he said we could change, we'll change.”
“We'll get rid of the spin bikes and buy different equipment, more equipment.”
“We're not choosing equipment tonight. We we're choosing vendor.”
“You're doing this or that, but... Well, the equipment, again, so everyone understands, we're not picking the individual equipment. What we'll do is once we select the vendor, they'll do a final proposal. Alex, we all can make recommendations to the town manager and then we can adjust with the equipment, you know, take out some, add some, and figure out what it is. But again, tonight, we're not selecting the equipment. We're selecting the vendor.”
“And Alex, correct me, we can buy, if we go, hypothetically, I'm just saying, say we're with Life Fitness, we could always add pre-core machines down the road. You say, hey, I want to get this pre-core thing. We can always add. It may not be through lifetime, but we could always add.”
“Well, the treadmills all had good monitors. Both companies had great monitors on the treadmills.”
“So, we have both proposals, okay? I'm going to make my recommendation, and then you guys can make your recommendations. I would say, based on the presentations that I saw, I prefer, again, it's my preference, Life Fitness. Okay. So I'm going to ask you, Vice Mayor, your preference.”
“They're all over the mini total square feet So my votes life fitness Ken Bernstein, I know it's hard to make decisions You're gonna have to choose one”
“Ken, you should base it on experience. I mean, you belong to several clubs.”
“Honestly, I see majority of gyms, just from people walking around the neighborhood. I mean, Ken and I ride. I walk my dogs every day, see people exercise and walk around. I would say the average age in that gym will probably be 40 years old, 45 max. You know, there'll be some older, definitely, but...”
“But there'll be a lot of younger people, a lot of the kids.”
“Yeah, me too. But I think the majority of it is going to be somewhere in the 40 to 50 range.”
“And Life Fitness has the cable. Yeah, but I don't know. Mr. Mayor.”
“Mr. Mayor? So town manager, based on the town council's opinion, we would prefer life fitness.”
“I can tell you from my equipment from home, I have the stepper, I have the treadmill, I have probably 15 pieces of equipment. I don't want to jinx it. I've had one issue with the treadmill in 15 years, and I ended up just buying the treadmill.”
“Correct. Town manager just to reiterate. So my understanding is we're gonna contract with life fitness We're gonna talk to the other vendor to see if we can parcel out Flooring some maintenance and some other machines from them, which I'm sure they would do Okay, and I'm possibly together the PM the gym.”
“He will meet with each of you individually.”
“But Alex, we need to consider, we need to do it ASAP. April 14th meeting. The lead time is realistically four months.”
“With that, I'll close it. Council, any public comments? Roll call on item number nine, selecting Life Fitness as our vendor and with the option of speaking to Home Fitness.”
“We have birthday one day. Yes, sir. Hey, we're gonna make a motion to adjourn all favor say aye. Aye great job”
