Discuss issues facing the fitness facility industry at our internet roundtable.
From this week's entry:
From gun stores to smoke shops to adult video stores, city governments have banned certain types of stores ever since someone first realized that this stuff sells. Based on moral grounds or to "protect the children," some of these laws are there for a good reason, and have helped to "clean up" neighborhoods that were going downhill. However, some cities take these laws too far. One of the best examples of this is in Bartlett, Tenn., where the city won't allow an exercise studio to open because code enforcement says it's an "adult business."
