LA Fitness

This gym is a fabulous place to work out at. I believe it’s one of the newer locations and had replaced the AMC Kennedy Commons that was there (RIP Canadian AMCs). I have only been here once at 5:30AM before class and it was well worth being there that early. Gym was so empty.
On the first floor there is a basketball court, and a lane swimming pool, personal training section, and all the standard free weights, and weight machines. On the second floor there are squash courts (for additional fees), a cycling class room I believe (I only quickly glanced), and all of the cardio machines you could ever want. Everything is so new and pretty.
I definitely recommend working out at this gym.

The equipment are excellent, location is great! Need to upgrade the shower head, they are small and weak, LA has the worst shower head among all other gym in town.

This is a nice new gym.
Lots n lots of cardio machines, a squash court, basketball court and narrow small pool.
It has a small womens section with treadmills, ellipticals and bikes. Also some weights, exercise balls and some machines which seem to focus mainly on upper body and some legs. I wish they had 1for back.
I recommend this gym.

This location is actually much better than the Don mills signature la fitness. Good faculty and clean

Ideally this would be my home gym, however the location currently being close to work is not convenient with home. The walk in from the main road is quite a journey unless you are driving. The other reasons why I like coming here is the option for women’s only workout area, quiet workout floor (no annoying music blasting like the other location I go to), lots of open space to do what you want, and finally foam rollers! Now if only they offered resistance bands or some ropes to workout with. If you want a giant floor dedicated to weights then this location has it all and you don’t need to fight for anything either. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of members hogging/​chilling on machines here (yet). I have not attended any classes here but I dislike the fact that they refused to unlock the dumbbell weights in the class room because no class was happening. I find the staff here so/​so… Some are nice some are anti social. Very clean changerooms/​washroom just bring a towel so you can lay it down on machines when you use it. Gym might be clean but does not mean the members are. The cons about LA gyms is their lack of WiFi and their annoying loud radio music. I would prefer if they didn’t blast their music so loud. I bring my own music but sometimes I’d really like to workout quietly.

This location is closer to my workplace, and I’m sure in warmer weather, it will be easier to just walk there instead of taking two buses and walking across vast parking space to get to the gym. It’s definitely more convenient for drivers than those who use transit.
I tend to go here around 1pm, and it’s pretty empty, maybe 20 members throughout the two floors and the pool. This location has a women’s only room as well, although they don’t have a lot of space and about 15 machines in there. There’s a spin room and a pool like the Eglinton/​Warden location and they have the same types of classes here (spin, swimming, yoga, Zumba).
I like that the cardio machines are upstairs while the weight training machines are downstairs.
I find that the locker rooms are a bit smaller. On the one hand it’s good, no one needs that many sinks, but on the other, everything feels more cramped in there and they have provided members with less lockers.
Also, unfriendly people or even no greeter at the main desk seems to be LA Fitness’s thing. It’s not to say that they aren’t nice people, I’m sure they are. But it’s a consistent thing to go to one of their gyms and barely see a smile or a hear a nice word at the main desk at all. This obviously isn’t going to stop me from going to the gym, but it would be nice to meet nicer people before you work out.
Overall, I like that this gym isn’t as busy as the other gym in the daytime. I’ve heard it gets much busier in the evening, but I would probably never go that late in the day. The other location is more convenient for me at that time. It definitely feels bigger than the other location, except for the change rooms. It’s nice to see this gym expanding!
