Linden, who retired from the National Hockey League in 2008, announced today he is opening a fitness centre in Coquitlam this winter. Club 16 – Trevor Linden Fitness is scheduled to open in January 2011 in Eagleridge Place at 2635 Barnet Highway.

According to a news release, the facility will be a “welcoming, state-of-the art facility designed for the average person.” The release went on to say the atmosphere will be “friendly, the intimidation factor will be reduced and exercising and getting into shape will be fun.”

Linden plans to charge $15 a month and says it will be the lowest average membership prices in the industry.

V.c » When I heard Trevor Linden had an announcement about his post-hockey player career I was hoping it would be more exciting than this and that it would have something to do with the Canucks, but this isn’t actually nearly as lame as it first sounds. If it was just a ritzy fitness club appealing to Hummer drivers than that would be really lame, but the fact he plans to only charge $15 per month, that is awesome, that is a third the price of a community centre. I hope there is a Club 16 my neighbourhood soon.

We will be the new home for world class sports personalities including Jim Rome, Dan Patrick, Bob McCown and the best of the best ESPN sports insiders.  We will broadcast every BC Lions game, from pre-season to playoffs, and hopefully, all the way to the Grey Cup.  Along with that, you’ll be able to listen and join in the conversation with extensive pre and post game shows for all of the Lions games.  1410 is now the new and permanent full time home for BC lions football in Vancouver, and that starts tomorrow night with the crucial, must win game against the Eskimo’s at BC Place.  If you’re going to the game, take your radio and you can follow all the action as only Rick Ball & Giulio Caravatta can describe it, right here on TEAM 1410.

V.c » Is it just me or did TALK 1410 pull a fast one and change their format over night? I often listen to TEAM 1040 and rarely listened to TALK 1410 but my wife is the opposite. I think it is great that we have another sports radio station in town with a less of a homer focus than TEAM 1040 (although I love the Canuck talk when they are winning) and which syndicates American shows (except for mister pause and repeat, Jim Rome) and broadcasts some of the major sporting events that have nothing to do with Vancouver. But so much for talk radio in Vancouver that is focused on issues that are generally more of interest to women. (Is there another one that I am just not aware of?) The way women talk and talk (at least my wife and my mother ;) I’m surprised the airwaves aren’t filled with talk radio stations that cater to women.
