LA Fitness

Exercising is an effective way to ward off the undead and prolong your own life--zombies don't like sweat, and with good cardiovascular health, you can outrun even the fastest zombie. LA Fitness' three Tucson locations (the First Avenue location just opened this year) will help you shape up with their playground of weight machines, free weights and enough treadmills and elliptical trainers to make any zombie dizzy. Personal trainers wearing blue shirts are everywhere, and there are basketball courts, racquetball courts and Olympic-sized pools to keep you moving--the whole place is just too fitness-oriented and sparklingly modern for zombies.
