Since Touchstone first opened in Los Angeles, the one reliable thing you can count on as a climber is that every year around the holidays, you will receive an email about a rate hike. Since I signed my waiver in 2014, every subsequent year I've been asked for a $2-$3 hike in membership fees. This is the fourth consecutive year that the rate has increased and Touchstone's response (in the updates) doesn't signal that they plan to stop. I called several gyms in the LA area and this is not their policy. After talking with many people about this issue, some agree and disagreed to the rate hike. What's important is that we're talking. This petition is for people who don't want this to be normal.

Our gym membership is being treated like housing. Please send a message to Touchstone that for the holidays, we don't want a new gym. We want to keep our gym with the same rate. Use your profits for the expansion.
