Workouts Continue Despite Corpse Nearby


This is the picture I got on Google when I typed in "Senior Exercise". What the hell?!!


I was cruising the internet as I often do and came across this story regarding the heart attack death of a fitness club patron in Englewood, Colorado. The center is open 24 hours a day and apparently had a corinary around 4:30 in the morning, the paramedics were called and he was declared dead at the scene. For some stupid reason, the management of the club decided to keep the club open while waiting for the cororner -- two hours -- while people exercised five feet away from him. He was covered in towels so that people couldn't see him but DAMN! How cynical and creepy is that fitness center that they can't respect this man enough to clear everyone out? I mean, they are going to get some amazingly bad press for keeping the place open! Wow... sometimes the "bottom line" really IS the most important thing!

By the way, "24 Hour Fitness" is a corporate-owned company and their slogan is "It's The Way We Make You Feel". Indeed! I've sent an email to the corporate office to see if they have a comment. Let's see how good of a company they really are...
