Last week on a cold wet windy day I stopped in at a big new LA Fitness facility here in Michigan to inquire about membership. When I resisted the car salesman-like "this offer is only good today" tactic and refused to answer the "how soon you thinking about joining up?" routine they issued me a two day guest pass which I did not have the opportunity to use. I figured they would get back with me, and before the two days expired they gave me a call. I told them I was ready to sign up on the spot, provided they could assure me I would be free to treadmill barefoot. The local VP for the state deferred to corporate, and just as I was finishing a great warm dry & sunny outdoor run today I got a call from Irvine CA.
"Can't do, we had a guy here catch a disease from using a treadmill after another guy was running on it barefoot"
I told him that I would love to get that info to the researchers studying this stuff because they have been unable to document an instance and would love to finally have proof, but he said they no longer have the guys name or contact info.
LIAR!
