ATTENTION MOUNT PLEASANT FITNESS MEMBERS!!!!

As of NOV 18 (in two weeks!) the fitness center will remove all bench presses, the roman chair (decline sit up) and the platform and create more space for a new deal between the city and life fitness universal equipment.  The racks MAY stay; however if you wish to do barbell bench press you will need to use the rack and hope that a loose bench is available to accompany you for use.  If all 3 racks are in use, which is quite often, there will be no alternative but to wait. As we all know the wait is already long during peak hours for the racks and adding bench press wait time will only make things significantly worse.  Ugh! No bench press is like a kitchen without a stove.   

There are many people who come to MPCC specifically because it is a lifter friendly community that adheres to the needs of its members and the community.  We have built friendships and camaraderie over the years and this will break these bonds. WE cannot allow this to happen.  This is a great community of fitness minded people who use the facilities here at MPCC for years and are Mt. Pleasant residents.  These changes will disrupt our community and force many of us elsewhere. For all those who enjoy coming to MPCC and agree that the facility is best as it is and would like it to stay as is please sign below before this Monday, Nov. 9. Help us keep our community great and avoid changes that will drive many away from our facility.   

I encourage all of you to contact Vancouver Parks Board, the Mayor's office and sign our petition online and spread the word on social media! #dontchangempc  We can do this, please sign or find the link on twitter @thanasy
