LA Fitness to close 3 newly acquired facilities.

LA Fitness will close three of 11 newly acquired Arizona 24 Hour Fitness facilities in Glendale, Mesa and Scottsdale.

The announcement Wednesday came a little more than a week after LA Fitness officials announced the acquisition of 24 Hour Fitness and said they had no plans to close or change the hours of any facility.

LA Fitness did not respond to inquiries Wednesday about the change in position. In a news statement, officials said the closures came after evaluating “club options” in the Valley.

“We determined that this would allow us to focus on providing each member with the widest variety of amenities and on making further investments in existing and new clubs for the area,” said Mike Ulibarri, Fitness International LLC regional vice president.

The closures are scheduled for Dec. 15. Maps showed the three former 24 Hour Fitness facilities were about a mile from existing LA Fitness locations.

Members of the three gyms, including those who only have single-club access, will get access to all of the LA Fitness clubs in Arizona with no increase in their monthly dues, according to LA Fitness.
