LA Fitness

So just when you think this gym couldn’t get any more ghetto they managed to find a way.
Today when I got to the gym and tried walking up the stairs to the weight section I was bombarded by a large group of people selling everything from tax services to Scientology to t-​shirts. Seriously? Come on I pay dues to be here, I don’t need to be harassed by solicitors as their captive audience. I’m sure all these folks violated fire
codes as well since they have so many tables and people around the main stair well creating obstructions. I don’t understand why LA Fitness allows their brand to be mutilated in such a fashion as this gym does.
Oh yeah and someone is still stealing pins to the machines rendering them useless. I had to look for pins and found one five machines away. People walk around with blank looks scavenging for them. Unbelievable.

drove down to miami from atlanta went to la fitness on coral way.
aweful. dirty. unorganized

Stay away from its training program at least in Brickell. If you try to get a trainer during weekends it’s almost impossible. One Sunday one of them didn’t show up. After two weeks complaining nobody was capable to get me a trainer for the weekends. It’s weird because as the manager told me LA Fitness has hundreds of trainers. By the way I’m still trying to get that la fitness gives me back the class that I couln’t have because the trainer didn’t show up. They told me three times that they are going to do it but After two weeks I’m still waiting.

I’d say this is a fairly typical gym. I came during a quiet time, so it was pretty empty. Even so, good luck finding the weight you need. Expect any moveable item to be located in an entirely random place.
On the upside, there are a lot of cardio machines. I can’t picture them ever getting totally filled.

This really is the worst LA Fitness in Miami. I mean most are bad but this one takes the cake. Any negatives you can find of a gym and their present in this facility and its staff. From the meat heads who run it to the weight area with a ton of missing weights.

My star rating is more of a comparison to the other LAFs’ in SoFla. If all you’re looking for is a building with some weights and cardio machines in it — then this one would work for you. I should warn you that this more like a rant sprinkled with tips than it is a review.
General tips, mainly aimed towards the bros;
*Those of you that throw your weights or let the weights slam on the machines when you’re done with a set… The reason everyone looks at you after you do it isn’t because they’re jealous, it’s because you look like a fairy. You’re the reason the machines are always broken. Everyone loathes you.
*Once you’re done with that hissy fit that you call a workout, take your weights and re-​rack them, princess.
*Instead of using 3 trees worth of paper towels to completely dry your body after cardio — why don’t you just bring a towel?
*Only come to this location on weekdays before 5pm. Try it at any other time and you might spend more time trying to park that you do exercising.
*Sharing is caring. «Mind if i jump in between your sets?» isn’t REALLY a question. Doesn’t matter if you’re Nancy Drew or Andre the giant. I WILL HEADBUTT YOU if you think that my 10 reps during your 15 minute breaks between sets is going to slow you down.
*Wondering where all the dumbbells are hidden? Check the pictures i posted for the most common hiding spots.
Tips for the ladies;
*There is absolutely no need to wear shorts so short and tight that your cooter is exposed. Cover up. As a straight guy, I’m almost ashamed that i have to share this. Going to the gym naked doesn’t make the workout any more effective.
*It is OK to socialize in group classes, on the mats and even in the cardio area.
*It is NOT OK to socialize in the weight lifting area. When a guy is an hour into a workout, drenched in sweat, blasting death metal through his headphones, frothing at the mouth as he’s doing bicep curls — this is not when you approach him with the «Hi, which of these exercises is best for my butt?» line. Way to have your priorities straight and take initiative but your timing needs some work.
*Seriously, put some clothes on.
The pool for this location has been out of service for years now. There is am outdoor running track around (what was) the pool which is on the roof. There is a spin room, a personal training room and a group exercise room. They recently added a «spa» which has a tanning booth and a mechanical massage bed — it isn’t included in your membership though. These are all of the amenities here. It sucks when compared to other locations that have an indoor pool, indoor track, basketball /​racquetball courts, sauna, etc… these are the things that sold me on membership so many years ago [mostly the indoor pool at a location that is now closed]. It gets the job done for a gym but it’s a poor example of the other LA fitness’ around here.

This Coral Way LA Fitness location has to be the worst gym I have ever stepped foot in. Besides being way too crowded, the weights and plates are never on the racks, and the people are not the friendliest. Real low vibes in this location. Avoid it at all cost.

How is it that at 6am when the gym opens up, none of the weights and plates are racked? It’s a total mess at 6am — That just means no one does their job at the end of the night. Also because of the meat heads that go to this gym that don’t have any home training.
This place is employed by a bunch of lazy individuals that can barley speak a word of English, even less of a hint of customer service.

Have you ever been glad to see a horrible rating for a place? Weird right. Well when I looked this La Fitness location up, I was so glad to see that I am not the only one that thinks this place is horrible.
I’m actually surprised it has more than one star. Ok, ok, I’m gonna stop ranting and proceed to explain why you should everything in your power to stay away from here.
1. They market telling people they have a pool and that it’s being repaired. That’s been the excuse for over 10 years. You might wanna come up with a better response.
2. This place needs serious updating, like serious. The locker rooms remind me of middle school, not a paid gym locker room, and especially not one that carries the LA Fitness name. I’ve gone to smaller gyms with nicer locker rooms and better amenities.
3. The weights and weight area is a disaster, nothing is logically grouped together like you would think. Oh and good luck trying to find a specific weight, let alone the pair of dumbbells you need.
I’m actually surprised that LA Fitness would allow an establishment like this one, with so many horrible reviews to continue to carry their name. Maybe money is all that matters.
These are just some of the reasons that I believe you should avoid this place like the plague.
Don’t believe. Well then go ahead and try it out. Maybe you’ll think I’m way off or maybe, just maybe you will agree.

The worst LA Fitness I’ve ever been to by far! I recently moved to the area and it’s the closest one to home but after being an LA fitness member for years I’m seriously considering changing to another gym now.
It’s dirty, machines are constantly out order or you simply can’t use them because people steal the metal sticks used to select the weight.
People workout shirtless, I’ve seen that in multiple occasions, the last time I took a picture to post it here (see photo attached)
It’s seriously overcrowded in peak hours. Parking is chaotic, people are very rude, they will cut you off to take a spot or speed by you when you are walking to your car.
Seriously it’s WAY BELOW regular LA Fitness standards, not worth it. Very bad experience!!!

I don’t know where to begin. I’ve tried to like LA Fitness, but every location seems to disappoint. This location is similar to the others. Aside from the horrible parking situation, it’s overcrowded, the people who come here are dirty and do not wipe their machines after every use, and the staff is anything but friendly.
The staff at this location needs to learn how to manage a business professionally. The front desk offers no customer service, whatsoever. Greeting customers as they check-​in should be mandatory, because frankly, I don’t need to overhear a conversation about your partying the night before. As for the lady behind the juice counter, it’d be helpful to all if she could communicate to the members which shakes/​smoothies benefit their needs. Just saying, «Yeah, that’s good too.», doesn’t help.
Onto the gym equipment, my main issue is that the members of the particular LA Fitness do not know how to clean up after themselves. Yes, this should be enforced. No one, and I mean no one, wants to hop on a machine drenched in sweat. I always wipe every machine I want to use down, but in the process I get strange looks. Why is cleanliness such an issue here? If this establishment were to add more napkins and antibacterial everywhere, I think it’d definitely help. Oh, and please enforce members to re-​rack their weights.
Overall, I have experienced better. Way better. The only thing that will keep me coming back for the time being is the convenience this location is to/​from work and the cardio machines.

Worst LA Fitness I have ever been. Equipments are outdated, and lot of them are out of service. Also, it’s very dirty every time I come. Not worth the $ 30 membership fee at all.

Congrats i have to give them one star i was unable to give them –10. This is the worst. La fitness i feel more like. Haitian fitness. No ofence to my haitians =)
Its been 2 months. And the machines. Damage. I ask The front desk. And the 16 year old kid said he. Been telling his manager. No the right answer
The restroms. Are nasty. The pool is closed and stinks
No management. No equipment. No cleaning service

I’ve been a member at this gym for several months and was hoping it would improve, but it has NOT. I’ve had memberships at Gold’s Gym (NY), Planet Fitness, and others but this place takes the cake.
It’s by far the least friendly, loudest gym in Miami. Meat heads drop weights, scream, grunt and grown. Awful.
I can almost see a person once in awhile dropping a weight while doing a clean and jerk or something, but these idiots drop everything; dumb bells, machines, barbells.
The worst part is the management does nothing to stop it. Also, no welcome of any kind when checking in.
I’m going back to a civilized gym.

I’m an LA Fitness member and come here when in Miami, because it’s 3 blocks from my hotel, but it’s a dump. It’s quite a shame because most LA Fitness are well kept.

So after several months I decided to give this location another chance, even more disappointed than the first time, the restrooms smelled so bad, trash cans filled with paper, if I could give negative stars I would, the weights area was just empty, yes empty, no weights to work out with, have never seen that in a gym ever…

This location DOES NOT have a pool. It used to have a beautiful rooftop pool, but it has been closed for years. I’m very disappointed of that. Also, the locker room smells moldy. I wonder how often it is really cleaned. I currently pay a cheap monthly rate and there are several locations, so I’ll stick with them, but if neither of those interest you then look elsewhere for your fitness needs.

Worst LA Fitness in Miami. Machines are old and broken. At 8PM every known cuban reff is just sitting or hanging out on the machines wearing tight jeans and white tennis shoes. It looks like happy hour, I’m just waiting for someone to come up to me and offer me a drink. The guys make it very uncomfortable for a woman to work out. I just got up and left the gym because of that reason. Oh and the women’s restroom SINKS of Clorox!
Changed gyms!!!

This place reminds me of my West Kendall LA Fitness days only it’s dirtier. Nobody cleans up anything and you find yourself constantly tripping over someone else’s mess. The equipment is very old and people are inventing new uses of how to incorrectly use them.

Being the only business in this building to have survived decades, you can tell how old the structure is.
Even though they’ve had remodels, the basics are still in need of demolition and re construction. The ac breaks at least once a month in a good month. Yes it is the gym and the main purpose is get in shape and sweat the extra fat. But when you are surrounded by at least 150 other sweaty bodies, the floor feels like you’re walking in the Everglades and the heat compares to the Sahara desert!
The cleanliness of the building stayed behind with the year it was built. Those lockers are filthy and the stench of body odor is overpowering as the time in the day progresses.
Don’t waste your time or money on these trainers either. The majority of them look like they need a trainers themselves
The only reason I keep coming is because it’s the closest to my house, aside from that there is no other reason to keep coming back
