I recently joined an LA fitness near me in VA because they said the pool, which has only a few lanes but seldom crowded, is 25 meters. But when I swam at the rec center, which I know has 25 yard lanes, it felt like the lanes were longer than those at the gym, and wonder if anyone has had experience with this chain and its pools. I figure you don't tell a bodybuilder a 50 lb. weight is 60, and you don't tell a swimmer a lane is 25 meters when it may only be 20 yards at best. Aside from going in with a length of rope and measuring, I don't know how to figure it out. The staff has a persistent deer in the headlights look when you ask them a question that's outside their comfort zone.
It's also the only gym I've been to where there is no air circulation in the spin cycle room, but that's off topic.
I belonged to LA Fitness here in Indy for 3 years or so and I can almost promise you the pool is 25 yards. When I joined they also told me the pool was meters, but I swim intervals very consistently and I can tell by my times it is definitely yards. LA Fitness is a large Corporation; I've swam in several of their pools in different states and they are all the same 3 lane structure and 25 yards long. I liked being a member @ LA until they increased the water temp to 88-89 degrees. the noodle classes were extremely popular at my location and I knew those swimmers were the impetus for the increase in temp. so instead of fighting it I just quit.
I've had the exact same experience. Multiple pools in multiple states. 3 lanes 25 yards
