LA Fitness

I come to this gym a couple times a week. There aren’t many other options in the area. They do have a nice selection of equipment and due to the facility being newer, most of it is in functioning order. The locker room and bathrooms stay relatively clean. The front desk staff is usually always friendly and helpful as well.
Now for the issues. The first issue is the overcrowding. If you want to work out at night it is guaranteed to be extremely packed. I’ve even heard the sales people walking around telling new members it’s abnormal but it’s like this on a daily basis (not as bad on the weekends though). The second issue is that the weights are never put back properly as you can see in the pictures that others have posted. I’m sure this has to do with the amount of members. They should have a few staff members walk around every few hours and reorganize the weights but I only see them do that right before they close. The last issue (which pretty much pertains to any gym) is that when you sign up, you never know if you are getting the best deal. I don’t really like having to deal with all the games and negotiating but I guess that’s just the reality when you are signing up at a gym.

This gym is really starting to go downhill fast. As new as it is, it’s disgusting the crowd that goes there is extremely rude and no one has respect for anybody in there. It’s always a mess no matter what time of day you go work out. The bathrooms are gross and stuff is always broken. The staff as well are not the friendliest people. I’m very disappointed that I pay as much as I do for a gym of this quality. I don’t recommend signing up for this gym if you want to have a decent work out and not wait on machines.

This gym is always busy and your constantly waiting on machines because people decide to socialize and hold up machines… And for some reason management thinks it’s great. Also how is it that you can’t get a family membership for less than $ 700 a year when other gyms offer just that? The sales pitch Dave Rodriguez gave over the phone took 45 minutes of my time that I’ll never get back and still didn’t get what I wanted other than how this gym is better than all the rest. and he still told me to go somewhere else since I can get what I want there. All the prices are set by Corp, which is bull since I know someone who goes there and was able to get $ 10 a month after leaving Ballys. Paying by the year, two year, whatever is supposed to save me money not make it more expensive. I’ve been to this gym before and left due to job and now looking to sign back up because it’s close to my house. But don’t mind driving farther just to get the price I want at another gym and won’t have to deal with all the teenie boppers that take up machines. I really disliked this gym before and now I dislike it even more. The only thing this gym has going for them… is location.

this LA fitness is the worst fitness I ever been to.
First, it has unpleasant odour inside， smells like sweat and stinky socks.
Second， it has too many people working out， way too many. they ran out of mats， the dumbles are everywhere.
Third， their service really sucks. They don’t really care about customers because they have no competition. They are only nice to you when they trying to sell you the membership.
Guys don’t come over here you will be really disappointed.
The management personnel really need do their job. It is so funny that manager only stay here from 9 to 5, most people come to exercise after 5 pm. No manager with lazy working staff, you just have to deal with all the shit.

Updated my review. ONLY reason this gym has earned the four stars is because of Zumba class. More specifically the lovely and talented instructors that teach the class. Wednesday Zumba at 7 is AMAZING. I absolutely love her. She is a great dancer. Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm has the best instructor as well. Sadly I am moving and it pains me to know I won’t be able to attend their classes. I lost about 5 lbs but toned up to my best shape possible. Take these classes they are so much fun!

I’ve came to this gym before on a buddy pass and the experience was great. It’s a massive gym with lots to offer, classes, pool, indoor bball court ect… Recently I called the office inquired about joining myself. Of course they try to pitch me with sales but I knew what I wanted and wouldn’t take anything other than… My was referred to Diego a sales manager that set up a meeting at the gym and offered me exactly what I was looking for as far as price, payments and membership. The process was easy and quick and started that day. I suggest this place to anyone.

Long story short:
I already have a trainer and a diet plan elsewhere and Juan was trying really hard to get my sister and I both to transition from what we have to an overpriced session.
I kept saying that $ 45 for 25 minutes is ridiculous (that’s the «discounted» rate if you do it for 6 months) and he turned to my sister with, «she’s very comfortable and no matter what I say, she’s not going to budge.»
It’s not about being comfortable.
He kept trying to say it’s not about the duration, it’s about the quality of the work out.
I’m not saying that’s not true, but I never said anything was wrong with what I already have.
Only reason why we got into this is because they said we get a complimentary 1 hour work out session for signing up. (35 minute paper work, 25 minute session.)

Not one of the better gyms out there that’s for sure. Staff isn’t very friendly except for sandy at the front in the mornings. She needs a damn pay raise. Everyone else just pretends like you’re not there. My biggest problem with this gym is that the weights are NEVER RACKED WHERE THEY GO! Never. You’ll have weights just scattered all over the gym. Along with the weights being everywhere, there’s also trash. For a while it seemed like there were more broken machines than fixed ones. If I didn’t live in the lake Nona area I would definitely go else where. Hopefully somewhere with less old Spanish ladies that think they’re 16 again with the clothes they wear.

Local management can’t change the TV stations available on the treadmills. I don’t speak Spanish and Disney isn’t my thing. How about a reasonable selection like they offer at 24 Hr Fitness?

Great location and helpful staff. Everything from the machines to the restrooms kept very clean (at least when I go), however maintaining the free weights to be organized, seems to be a challenge here.

I signed up for a pass 2 days ago. The manager asked me if I wanted to add some names to the VIP list so my friends could get 2 weeks free. I said ‘sure’, so long as he promised not to call them. I stressed the importance of not harrassing my friends, and he said he understood and promised me that no one would call. I should have known better. Two days later someone from LA Fitness called all my friends, even though their names had *Do Not Call beside it. Bad on my part, but even more upset that I put others in the position I did because I trusted someone. I phoned LA Fitness to speak to a manager about this issue, but the receptionist refused to let me speak to a manager and refused to tell me who had signed me up for the membership. She informed me that only Corporate could assist me. After speaking with Corporate, and getting the name of who signed me up, they informed me that they couldn’t do anything about it, and that it had to be fixed from the gym itself. After phoning the gym again, they were pretty short with me after Corporate had called them and informed them of my complaint. They said my friends have been removed from the list??? We shall see. Overall, I’ve had a poor experience with the gym, from poor communication to it being overcrowded, though I do love the pool! I’ll be cancelling my membership this afternoon and receiving a full refund.

Clean gym. Staff not so friendly with exception Sandy at front desk. Weights are NEVER organized. Spend as much time looking as working out! Can’t wait for something to open closer to home

I really don’t know why LA Fitness continues to expand and be successful. It must be the price and price alone.
The gym is disgusting. Trash everywhere, noone reracks the weights and the place smells like dirty socks. For a new gym, this is the first thing that hits you as you walk in the door… truly disgusting.
I was only in town here on business, and would prefer to use a much cleaner hotel gym than this dump.

This is the single worst kept LA Fitness I’ve ever been to.
Looks like the management has given up.
Weights are laying all around, garbage on the floors, and ½ the Dumbbells are scattered across the entire gym.
I’m ashamed to be a member.

Terrible gym, but the only one remotely close to Lake Nowhere. (Other than the tiny YMCA in the elementary school)
This gym has weights laying all over the floor. Nobody re-​racks their weights after using the equipment.
On the plus side, the gym is filled with ladies that dress like they came straight from work at Rachael’s. They don’t look like that, mind you, but they sure dress that way thinking they do!
This is a great place to bone up on your Spanish speaking skills and get strong putting everyone else’s weights back.
The gym could be as wonderful as the other LA Fitness facilities. It is relatively new and very large. Management just needs to get a handle on the problem of the selfish members not being considerate of others in the gym.
Enjoy!

I’ve been to other LA fitnesses and this one is still by far the best. It is busy a lot but then again so are most gyms. The set up is nice and spaced out enough to not feel crammed. The staff is nice and polite, and I’ve never had a problem with the equipment

This location has become very busy at night. It’s almost impossible to get a workout in without having to wait on equipment, or change up your routine to be able to fit everything in.
The floor staff is friendly for the most part. The cleaning crew are honestly friendlier than anyone else working there.
The training manager and trainers are two-​faced. They mock those who are using incorrect form when working out. The decent thing to do would be to help them — prevent injuries — that’s what gym staff should be there for. These arrogant jokers seem to forget that they too started from somewhere.
Do yourself a favor and go to the Orange Blossom Trail location. Or skip LA altogether and go to a more reputable (integrity/​values) gym like Gold’s.

On the plus side it is a large facility with a lot of equipment.
On the negative side, the place is poorly managed. Machines, when broken, are not fixed very quickly. Front desk people are not friendly. If you have to ask for help, good luck finding anyone who is not just focused on selling more memberships.
Weights are never put back in their place. It is always a hunt to find any equipment that is not bolted down. I once asked for assistance finding the one straight bar they had for their cable workout machine. The employee seemed pissed that I asked for help as we walked all over the gym to find it.
Like a lot of gyms there are a few body builder types that like to hog multiple machines at a time and get mad if you try to workout on a machine that they have walked away from for 5 minutes. Having employees on the floor to manage workout flow would be nice.
Hopefully one day a professionally run gym will open in the area.

This gym is new and I go here for classes. I have been an LA Fitness member since 2010 and I used to go to the Conway location. I like this new place coz of the new equipment and it has a much wider space compared to the other location. The only thing I don’t like about this location is their staff –they’re absolutely not the friendliest in town. So are the ones at Conway. I’m not sure if their receptionists are just having a bad day everyday or they are just really used to being unfriendly. I love their facilities, so I just give their staff a smile Everytime I scan my card even if they are not really nice. Just kill them with kindness

Like all other LA Fitness Gyms this one offers free weights, treadmills, cycling, elliptical, bikes, weight machines and pulleys, basketball, racquetball, and a pool. It just opened, but is seeing a lot of business. I am glad we got one down here by the airport finally. The facility is new and so it all the equipment. Most of it is up and running with no problems.
