MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – While getting to the gym can be a challenge in itself this winter, members of the LA Fitness in Roseville have had more serious problems to deal with.
On Sunday, city police responded to a call involving 10-15 people fighting at the gym’s Cleveland Avenue location. It started all on the basketball court over a call and escalated, moving into the main fitness area. “People were actually throwing two and a half, five, 10 pound weights within the building,” said Police Lt. Lorne Rosand.
This recent fight is just part of a bigger problem. Police say the gym has been plagued with crime in recent years.
Roseville police responded to 147 incidents there in 2013. They’ve already had 24 incident this year. “It’s gotten to the point that [the gym] is bordering on a public nuisance,” Rosand said.
Police are frustrated with that LA Fitness as their requests to put in security cameras or have guards on site have all been denied. WCCO-TV reached out to that LA Fitness, but the gym had no comment.

If Obama had a son....
OK, I guessed wrong. I figured that there were probably some steroid fueled cops involved.
No dogs were shot.
I figured they just hadn't gotten around to going by folks homes to get that done yet.
They had to get their MRAP first.

After all, it is Minneapolis, not far from Lake Woebegone.
Since the Mgmt doesn't want to do anything a declaration of a public nuisance with a shut down should get their attention.
No you do not need to look.
It’s safe to assume.
Close it down.
LA fitness will end up getting sued when someone gets killed.
LA Fitness is a members only facility, isn’t it? Seems that they could cancel membership for those who misbehave!
I’ve played rec b’ball and pickup games for about 40 years (with and against all ages, races and ability levels) and can think of maybe half a dozen times there was actual combat on the court. Then the rest of us jumped in to separate the combatants, not to take sides. This sounds like gangbanger BS to me.
