The Mainland Fitness center at the Cornerstone Commerce Center will close its doors at noon Thursday "due to conditions beyond our control", according to its Web site.

Mainland Fitness members learned about the closing Tuesday and early today, though various means.

Jane Watts, of Northfield, found out through her boss - who called her from Florida at 7 a.m. as soon as he heard via e-mail.

"It's horrible," Watts said outside the fitness center's doors. "Their cleanliness, their friendliness ... On the equipment, if you were doing something that wasn't right, they'd stop what you were doing and (help you). They were so warm and friendly and wonderful. Just over and above."

A message on Mainland Fitness's Web site asks members to contact manager Scott Rosen about membership or personal training refunds.

Rosen and owner Yale Steingard could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Cornerstone Commerce Center owner Robin Karman would not comment about the reasons for Mainland Fitness's closing - "You'd have to ask them about that," she said. "All we do is rent space" - but added that at least two other fitness centers are interested in that location, plus three other possible tenants.

Watts said that she would wait and see where to sign up for gym membership.

"I'm not going anywhere until I find out where Scott's going," she said of Rosen.

  Does anyone notice what a high turnover there is on this property? I wonder how many of the original businesses are still there. They all get wise to Robin Karman sooner or later. Make her put the traffic light in! She deserves everything she has coming to her. If you're a lawyer don't represent her! She doesn't pay her bills.Turn the other way and run like heck!

  yeah robin karman . . a typical DB sheister landlord. "all we do is rent space" translates to "ALL WE DO IS RIP PEOPLE OFF". $33 per square foot . . no wonder there's been three restaurants (all failed) and any of the other retail tenants are running to the hills.
