Thank you for your interest in supporting the Phil Balducci  & Associates study of the future of the Muskegon Lakeshore Fitness Center.   We have been conducting local focus groups as well as online and phone surveys of the future of the Lakeshore Fitness Center which was closed by Muskegon Community College in May.   Our study commissioned by Fitness Center members Gary Neal and Roger Rapoport has been requested by the  college’s trustees.  They will use their results in their evaluation of Requests for Proposal on the future of the fitness center property that has served over 3,700 members and been central to the health needs of the Muskegon community for more than 40 years.  The cost of this study is $18,750 all paid by community donations including contributions from business leaders, community members, longtime fitness center members  and the Friends of the Lakeshore Fitness Center.   Neal and Rapoport are currently raising the final $6,750  needed to pay for this independent study.   If you would like to contribute please make your check out to Phil Balducci & Associates and send it to Gary Neal’s law office at:
