Several signs are taped near the entrance bearing the messages we’ve heard in recent days from several readers: The LA Fitness gym at Merchants Exchange (4400 Roswell Road) is closing as of July 20.
There wasn’t a reason given for the closure, but the signs addressed to members said they can use any other LA Fitness location, and directed them to the Sprayberry Square location (2550 Sandy Plains Road).
There’s also an LA Fitness in East Cobb at 1453 Terrell Mill Road.
East Cobb News has left a message with LA Fitness seeking more information about the Merchants Exchange closing.
LA Fitness is the second major tenant to leave that retail center recently; Dance Stop Studios closed in May after being in business for more than 50 years, due to the owners’ retirement.

I work out here and I spoke with a guy at the desk this weekend who said the decision to leave was driven by a lease increase.
Major bummer as there is no real replacement. This gym was extra convenient for me.
We should have a Lifetime gym in East Cobb. I would get a family membership immediately.
