Larry North Out of Highland Park Village
There was talk earlier this year that the new ownership wasn’t going to keep Larry North Fitness in Highland Park Village, but then they announced they were staying. But not so fast. A law-practicing and former-co-worker-of-mine FrontBurnervian passes along this e-mail that he received today:
After 20 wonderful years in Highland Park Village, it is with great sadness and regret that I inform you, in spite of all our efforts to keep the Highland Park club open, we are forced to close our doors December 1st. I want to thank all of the members and staff for continuing to believe in me and remaining so loyal to Larry North Fitness. The decision to close the doors at Highland Park has been the most difficult business decision in my life. As many of you know, many changes have happened in the Village during the past year and there have been circumstances beyond our control. We leave this location with many fond memories and the knowledge that we have helped thousands of people over the years become healthier and happier. Most of all, I am thankful for the incredible relationships that have evolved from this very special place.
As you know, your membership is valid at our beautiful Preston Royal Club located in the northeast corner of the Preston Royal shopping center. It will continue with no interruption. It is our intention to keep your membership in good standing unless informed otherwise. If you have questions please direct them to my attention at larrynorth@larrynorth.com or call me at 214.526.6784.
Sincerely yours,
Larry North

I stopped by Equinox down the street and I think my gym closing may be the best thing that could have happened to me. The club is spectacular and the staff is even better. They took great care of me. Only been two days, but I’ve been blown away both so far.
I heard a rumor that Jimmy Choo and Banana Republic are also leaving. Anyone else heard this rumor?
I went back to the new Premier Club (Lifetime Athletic) and it is BEAUTIFUL! I can’t believe how nice it is. Equinox is ok for what it is but Lifetime is bigger and the people are much friendlier.
