24 Hour Fitness "music/ ad" tv

Been to several gyms around Houston and they all have taken over around 40% of their cardio room tvs and turned them into 24 Hour Music TV. Its bad enough that they would do this with any of their tvs but since its roughly 40% it goes beyond ridiculous. The TV angle is a joke since everyone listens to pandora or some other method of their choice. Instead what the tvs are really used for is posting instore ads on over priced items they are selling.


I talked to a manager and he didnt seem very pleased with it but its corporate so not much he can do. He said what they are trying to do is sell ads to local businesses. I will probably be switching memberships to another club now. I really enjoy watching football on Thurs, Sat, Sun, and Mon while getting some cardio in instead of just sitting on the couch. The lack of tvs means a lack of choices since the other tvs still have to be designated to non sports channels as well.
