SAVE OUR LIFETIME BASKETBALL COURTS!
Lifetime has officially made the decision to close one of our beloved basketball courts. We must make our voices heard and let them know that this choice is not acceptable to us!
For 10+ years, basketball and UHoops have been at the heart of this gym and this community. Many basketball players have been here since the grand opening of this club. We bring our families here and spend so much of our lives here. There is more at stake than just a simple basketball court.
This is our basketball home! We cannot just let them close it up - not without being heard first.
If we want any chance of changing the hearts and minds of the people who are driving this decision, we must come together and let them know how important this court is to us.
Please sign the petition and email, call, and tweet at all the decision makers.
Why is this happening?
LifeTime believes they will make more money by closing a basketball court and opening up more floor space for workout classes, machines, and more.
When is this happening?
SOON! Work may be starting as soon as Q1 2025. Please sign the petition NOW!
Who are the decision-makers?
The main driver of this renovation is the club manager, Martin Martinez. The LifeTime Board of Directors and other corporate executives are also driving the change.
What may change their mind?
It’s hard to say… maybe nothing. But it’s clear this is driven primarily by financial interests. But many believe LifeTime has not heard from us yet and there IS a chance that LifeTime has not assessed the full financial risk, given they have not heard from our community yet and we need to let them know that the impact may be larger than anticipated.
Additionally, not ALL corporate decisions are solely financial. We can also appeal the human beings running this company and let them know what is they have built and what is they are actually destroying. Let them know it is more than just any gym for us.
Yes, LifeTime has gotten rid of basketball courts around the country… but LTGV is unlike any other club in the country. There are more leagues, more pickup games, and members who are excited about playing basketball. We bring our families, and we bring other members. There is a good chance that if basketball players leave the gym over this decision, or don’t use other services in the gym as a means of boycotting, that it will have negative impact on the bottom line.
There are hundreds to thousands of regular basketball players and UHoops players. We have families. Our voices matter and they must be heard before this is said and done.
What can you do?
FOR NOW, sign the petition! If you feel moved to do so, email the decision-makers, call, and tweet. Tell your story. Make your voices heard.
SHARE this petition (saveourcourts.com) with every LifeTime member you know.
Every single baller in LTGV must know about this and they have to know about it now. We have no chance if we don’t come together and act immediately. Thank you!
