La Quinta Gym Market - Overview
La Quinta is a Coachella Valley resort city of about 40,000, best known for the La Quinta Resort and Club, the PGA West golf complex, and as the long-time host of The American Express PGA Tour event. The population skews older and affluent, with a large seasonal "snowbird" influx November through April. Fitness is dominated by resort gyms, country club facilities, and a small but high-end ring of chains and boutique studios along Highway 111.
