Richfield LA Fitness Opens Early

The new health club opened its doors to the public Wednesday.

Richfield's newest business opened its doors nearly a full month ahead of schedule Wednesday.

LA Fitness, which is located on the site of the former Kmart store in the Lyndale Station development, is a full-service athletic club that offers a variety of equipment types, including free weights, cardio machines, dumbells and plate machines. In addition, personal training services and group fitness classes (such as yoga) are also offered. Other amenities include a basketball court, saunas in each locker room, a three-lane lap pool, four racquetball courts, a spa, Kids Klub and a juice bar.

Site developer Steve Wellington, of Wellington Management Inc., had originally not expected the club to open until Nov. 1.

The redeveloped site will also house two other retail and restaurant complexes. One is currently under construction, with the other likely to begin next spring. Negotiations are still underway with interested tenants. No names of potential tenants have been made public.

For more information on LA Fitness class offerings and memberships, call the club directly at 612-861-5505. For more information on redevelopment projects in Richfield, visit Richfield Patch's Redevelopment topic page.

The new LA Fitness is really nice. They equipment is awesome. Can't wait for aqua-fit classes to start. So nice to have a club so close to home. I was suprised to see so many people there, but I did recongize people from some of the other local clubs (Edina, Uptown). I imagine a lot of South Minneapolis members will switch from the Uptown location to Richfield because it's bigger, newer, and has all the amenities (Uptown doesn't have a pool, whirlpool, raquetball, or basketball court).

This program was initially offered as a free trial, however the free trial time expired this week.Read More There is now a $24.99 charge to use the program. I am sorry for any inconvenience.

I would love to see Dunn Brother's come back. The parking is the major problem. But I hope theyRead More don't utilize the idea to eliminate lanes on Lyndale. It is already like driving behind a funeral procession - often as slow as 15-20 miles an hour. It is so annoying.

The fact that the parking lot is hidden makes it appear as though there is little parking, and IRead More think that hurts business there. I think Dunn bros would be awesome but the store is too small for them... The bean roaster would take up 1/2 the store...

That's good advice. Also keep in mind that your reactions to the event probably won't be imitatedRead More while your children are young. But as they grow older, they'll subconsciously remember your reactions and that will greatly influence how they respond to these situations in adulthood. So if you're someone who started swearing at the TV about Muslim terrorists, or you wept for the victims, or you prayed for the souls of the perpetrators, you should expect your reaction to ultimately have far more influence on your child than the discussions mentioned in this article.

Exactly, Chris Mau!!! Kids live what they learn at home. If we treat kids with respect, as well asRead More how we present the facts of life, kids will grow to become empathetic, meaning, they will care and have compassion for the world around them. If they see us cussing out different races, creeds and colors or origins, they will grow up mean, spiteful and cynical. It's all up to US adults people...who's willing to step to the plate and be that example? These children, they are our future....how they grow depends on us.
