LA Fitness

There are some major improvements needed here:
THE BAD:
1. If you try to cancel your membership, be prepared to jump through hoops. I highly recommend you get the cancellation form the day you sign up and keep it in a safe place — you’re not likely to be given one later on. Send form via REGISTERED mail as they will deny receiving it otherwise.
2. The good exercise classes, which is why I joined, are too few. I wish they had comment cards and would read them and pay attention. It seems management is non-​existent. Does nobody wonder why classes are empty? Labeling classes «Zumba» and «Yoga» that are completely unrelated to either Zumba or Yoga… and instead are regular CARDIO/​WEIGHT classes, makes no sense.
!!! Good instructors with good music make ALL the difference in the world !!!
3. If you don’t pay extra for ‘personal training’ don’t expect to find room to stretch — it’s all fenced off.
4. Who designed this place? Why would one put ALL the bathrooms into the pool area where it’s super-​hot and humid?
THE GOOD:
Yoga with Magdalena — a real yoga class
Zumba with Ross or Melanie — good music with fun instructors

Weak sauce. They make it look like a legit gym but your first hint is there is not one person in shape here. For Gods sake, the girl making the protein shakes is morbidly obese.
Weight trees need smaller diameter posts to make loading and unloading faster, machines are a little rusty, the place is humid as it gets so no one can work out very hard and it worsens the rust, they don’t have 35# plates, very basic machines, staff look clueless but who else would they hire?! Not anyone working out there.
Pool was down, the manager rigged up some odd short term membership for us that gave us trouble on future visits, they have no advanced equipment (TRX bands, stretching stations, foam rollers, ab contraptions do not exist here). I hate that the kids academy is at the front so I can’t watch my kids and I’m not sure that anyone manning it even speaks fully fluent English.
I saw: fanny packs, spaghetti string tank tops on men, fat female body builders, fat male bodybuilders, a guy jumping and hanging from a Lat pull down bar, a G-​string thong under tiny shorts, fake boobs on skinny fat middle-​aged women, grown men doing kickbacks, finally saw someone deadlifting but then, oops, he supersets it with bench and high rows?! Men wearing yoga shorts, bird legs on a trainer, another trainer almost «ready for bodybuilding show» but he has love handles and looks like he eats Growth Hormone for breakfast lunch and dinner.
They have no towels available, the heavy dumbbells are on the lower rack which kills my back to squat and pickup 125# dumbbells, 45 plates are oddly positioned under those weight trees.
I could go on. Find a different gym.

Excellent fitness club. I used to own a health club in New York. This facility has so much versatile equipment and I get the best workouts Ive ever had. If a machine breaks down they have someone come in and repairs are done quickly. I highly recommend this club.

This gym is HORRIBLE! Front manager is a jerk. How does LA Fitness allow this?! Filed a complaint serval times and this hasn’t been taken care of! There is also some shady stuff happening in that gym. Over heard a few LA Fitness trainers talking about selling steroids to their clients. I’ve filed multiple complaints about that as well. This needs to be taken care of. I am removing my whole family from LA Fitness and will be going to a much friendlier gym. I can’t believe a Corporate gym is ran by buffoons.
So PLEASE be aware that this gym is a 0 in my book. Next minute you might see ppl selling drugs in the bathroom. They need to hire all new ppl. No one NO ONE THERE IS friendly.

This LA Fitness transformed my attitude about working out! The trainers there are kind and always helpful– even if you don’t sign up for a personal training sessions– and are very approachable. I met many nice people while going there and can honestly say that it really changed my attitude about large gyms and helped me to come out of my shell, socially. Also, the childcare center there is superb! Wonderful babysitters and very clean. I live in Atlanta now, and miss this LA Fitness every day while I am working out at my neighborhood gym.
If you do go, ask for Danny or David and get a training session with one of them! They were the best!
Warmest Regards to Everyone,

The AC seems to be broken a lot. It’s unsanitary, there are no bottles or towels to wipe down machines or mats before or after use. There is only a thing of hand sanitizer on the far wall. Machines are rusting, but work. I go for classes and the classes are great. We were practically stalked until we joined, and now that we have been members for a few months, there has been no attempt to see how we like it or if we are satisfied or need anything. I felt like they put on a huge front about how much they would be there for us etc etc and the guy who sold us the membership isn’t even there anymore. Lol. I am sure if I needed anything I could make an appointment with a trainer though. I do love the classes though, so I can overlook a lot of stuff.

The membership fee isn’t too ridiculous for what you get. I pay $ 36 a month. I wonder to myself at what point do they switch out cardio machines. Many of the treadmills, stair masters, etc are rusting. There is a big selection of machine’s and free weights, which is nice, along with other amenities, and classes. A couple things that could heavily be improved is, cleanliness, and having at least one person to assit at all times. The mat that is used by the entire gym for abs is wiped down once a day or once every two days (if that). That is quoted from the manager at the gym. I have never seen anyone wipe down the mat prior to using it or after using it. It is VERY unsanitary, and people can easily get skin diseases from that dirty mat. Also, there is never anyone on hand to ask for assistance when using the machine. At times there will be a trainer on the floor training someone. Other than that, the only staff is the lady at the front, and a couple sales guys hiding out at their desk. I have been to other LA Fitness gyms where they are heavily staffed and their employees are picking up, cleaning, and there for any assistance. Needs a mini facelift on the floor and with the staff.

do not go here!

a pretty standard gym. Did a quick photoshoot here and it’s nice and brightly lit and has a lot of space which was nice!
