"We are pleased to have LA Fitness in these three centers and wish them success. The company's model has been very well received, and based on our past success working together, we felt they would be the ideal partner for these retail spaces," said Edward Sonshine, Chief Executive Officer at RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, that owns and manages the shopping centers where the clubs are located.
The clubs will offer the following amenities, most of which are included in the monthly membership fee, that meet the needs of people of all ages, interests and fitness goals:
