curatedchris @pixie_mobev Def glad no one was hurt. We're shocked though that Gold's Gym #WestEnd owners don't want to tell staff/members to be prepped. 12:58 PM Jan 19th via TweetDeck in reply to pixie_mobev Retweeted by RootsofLearning
@GoldsGym I don't understand why one of your francises would hide a known crime nearby - isn't member security a priority?? 7:58 PM Jan 20th via web
@curatedchris - so get this - in addition to not telling people, they are also adding a Zumba class that goes until 9:30pm #insulttoinjury 7:00 PM Jan 19th via web
curatedchris So, a friend was attacked outside Gold's Gym West Tower on Mon night and they haven't told their members yet. Not good business. #RVA 7:17 AM Jan 19th via TweetDeck Retweeted by RootsofLearning
