    I use LA Fitness to swim. Their Lake Success NY club, which is their largest on Long Island has Five lanes for swimming. Since they closed their club in garden City Park, this has made it even more crowded. The Lake success Club, the ONLY La Fitness Club in the country has a pool policy of limiting one lane to ONE swimmer, and another to TWO swimmers, thereby making the other lanes overcrowded, often with EIGHT or more swimmers, making them incapable to swim. When reported to staff, they ignore the issue, and when complaining to corporate, they do nothing despite allegedly having oversight of their clubs and their policies. I was told this is a ridiculous policy, yet it has continued for years. If you want to join LA fitness for swimming and use of their pool, avoid Lake Success their Long Island Club.

      I am very disappointed in LA Fitness. Most of the machines work, they all have a sign on them not to use waiting for repairs. The function to move the seats are broken, you can only use certain weights. The pins for weights is missing is a disaster. The leather seats and cushions on the machines are worn out. Scratchy surfaces. The bikes don't work, sat on three different ones, none worked. There are cleaning wipes everywhere, today I had to pick up 6 wipes in one machine before I could use it. What a disgrace and germ infested place. We were paying for a trainer but I'm canceling it. These are just a few complaints, that can be fixed.

      The few machines that you can work with are occupied by people using their phones, having a full conversation while others wait to use the machine. There should be some type of control because is just not once is constant. I was so happy when I joined and I'm so disappointed now. I hope this constructive criticism helps to improve the LA Fitness of 8th Street SW and 142nd Ave, Kendall.

      BEWARE before giving this gym your payment information. I went in person on December 16, 2025 to cancel my membership and was told a manager would cancel it the next day. Instead, they placed my account on freeze without my authorization and continued charging me. I did not authorize a freeze, a restart, or any continued billing.

      I was also told they had already “met their cancellations for the day” / had too many cancellations that day. That is one of the most ridiculous excuses I have ever heard from a business. If a customer comes in to cancel, the cancellation should be processed — not delayed, ignored, or turned into an unauthorized freeze. I have called and emailed multiple times, and I still feel like I have been given the runaround while charges continued. This has been an extremely frustrating and unacceptable experience. If you sign up here, keep documentation of everything and watch your bank account closely. I would strongly caution anyone before joining this gym.

      I had an extremely disappointing experience with LA Fitness that ultimately cost them a long-term customer. When I first met with one of the managers, **, he assured me that he genuinely wanted to help me lose weight and improve my health. He sold me a personal training package and promised to provide two complimentary training sessions each month. His sincerity earned my trust, and I believed he was invested in helping me succeed. Unfortunately, it didn't take long to realize those promises were empty. On multiple occasions, I arrived for scheduled training sessions only to find that ** wasn't there, or he could train me or he would waste my training time. He never made arrangements for another trainer to cover the session or even communicated that he would be absent. The level of professionalism was completely unacceptable.

      When I questioned him about the complimentary sessions he had promised, he denied ever making the offer and claimed he had never used that promise to persuade me to purchase training that I would not have purchased if he had been honest about the number of sessions I would receive. I felt misled and taken advantage of. I escalated my concerns to the management team and eventually spoke with the Regional Manager, Ed, hoping someone would take my concerns seriously. Instead, I was met with rudeness, dismissiveness, and a complete lack of accountability. There was no apology, no willingness or effort to make things right. I was simply told by Ed that I should have read the contract and that if I wanted out of my training contract, I would have to pay to buy out the remaining sessions.

      After making multiple trips to the club over more than 3 weeks to try to resolve the situation, I finally canceled my membership. To add insult to injury, I was required to pay an additional $420 just to end my relationship with a company that had failed to deliver the service it promised. What disappointed me most wasn't just **'s conduct or Ed's unprofessionalism—it was LA Fitness's decision to stand behind poor customer service rather than support a loyal customer. Instead of acknowledging the problem and working toward a fair resolution, management chose to protect unprofessional behavior and prioritize collecting money over customer satisfaction. I cannot recommend LA Fitness based on my experience. If you're considering personal training there, make sure every promise is documented in writing before signing any agreement.

      Since I cancelled my membership on April 14 exactly one month into the new billing cycle, I am requesting a pro-rated refund of the annual fee. I have used only one month of the year I was charged for. Furthermore, since I do not wish to extend my membership further, I am requesting the return of my security deposit. LA Fitness has informed me that they will not refund these amounts and instead extended my access until May 18. This is unacceptable as I have no intention of using the facilities and specifically requested a refund of the unused fees and my deposit.

      Desired Settlement: I am seeking a refund for the remaining 11/2026 -2027/ months of the prepaid annual fee and the full return of my security deposit. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter. 1 months deposit and 11 months annual fee. LA Fitness created a contract for themselves that I am forced to follow. Unfortunately, because I had a car accident two years ago and my health problems have resurfaced, I cannot use the money I paid. So, they simply make you pay a 12-month annual fee upfront, and if a member has any kind of problem, they just keep the money. They kept the one-month deposit and the 11-month annual fee. Meanwhile, they offered that if I find someone else, they would let that person use my 2 months of unused membership. What happens in this country is a shame.

      I have had an LA Fitness account since 11/10/20 and included within my monthly membership are personal training sessions. Over the course of my membership I have accumulated over 30 personal training sessions, none of which I have used on my own accord. No specific month but always went after work around 8pm, I went to the Duluth LA Fitness and planned to use some of the personal training sessions I have accumulated since opening my account. To my surprise, I learned through the LA Fitness app that my account login information was changed, and as of since 2023 someone else has been fraudulently using my account information to get access to the ____ LA Fitness via their phone barcode, in addition to also fraudulently using my account information to schedule personal training sessions under my account, though the sessions were scheduled under their name and not mine.

      To add context, I have not changed my password or have been to any LA Fitness since 2022. This person changed my password information in 2023 without my knowledge, and I received no notification from LA Fitness about any aspect of my account information being changed. I additionally did not receive any conformation email or texts about the fraudulent scheduling of any of these personal training sessions to my personal email or personal number associated with my account. When I addressed this issue with the personal trainer Manager at 600 Gwinnett Dr. Lawrenceville Ga, since personal training was done that that location LA Fitness, they confirmed that they had been training this unknown person since 12/25/25, and also confirmed that though this unknown person’s physical appearance did not match the description listed on my account, they carried out the personal training sessions regardless.

      This unknown person has fraudulently used my account eight times to schedule personal training sessions I did not authorize. 600 Gwinnett Dr. Lawrenceville GA. LA Fitness needs to be held accountable for fraud, tempering a client's account, and lack of accountability and concern to protecting their client’s membership and personal influence.

      I've been a member for many years especially to swim. The pool at Wade Green has been closed for about a month because the heater is down. It took awhile to get the part (understandable) but then it sat in the lobby for about 2 weeks till install was attempted. It was discovered a specific plumber needs to handle this which I should have known. So now it's still not scheduled for install. I could go to another gym but it's so crowded it's difficult to do laps. I could join Crunch for a lower monthly fee to go to a facility with no pool. I will evaluate this shortly. This company is quite the disappointment.

      1045 Woodstock Rd (770) 375-4351. I am beyond frustrated with the level of incompetence and disregard we have experienced at this LA Fitness location. My wife and I have been loyal members of LA Fitness for over 15 years in Louisville, KY. After recently moving to Atlanta, we attempted to access this club using our SilverSneakers membership, which clearly provides access to all LA Fitness locations—including this one. Yet, for reasons no one seems capable of explaining, we have been denied access due to what staff repeatedly describe as a “computer glitch.”

      What’s truly unacceptable is how this situation has been handled. Instead of taking responsibility, the club manager actually suggested that WE should call corporate tech support ourselves to resolve the issue. That is astonishing. Isn’t that part of his job? Only after pushing back did he reluctantly agree to “do us a favor” and contact them himself. Eight days later, we are still without access. Every single morning, we have made the effort to go to the club, only to hear the same rehearsed response: “They still haven’t called me back.” No updates. No escalation. No accountability. Are we really expected to believe that a manager cannot contact a supervisor or escalate a basic membership issue over the course of more than a week?

      At 73 and 68 years old, respectively, it is not easy for us to make these repeated trips, only to be dismissed day after day. This is not just poor customer service—it is a textbook example of negligence and severe mismanagement. The complete lack of urgency and care is deeply disappointing. We have earned our access to these facilities over many years, and being treated as an afterthought—especially as seniors—is unacceptable. This experience has left us feeling ignored, disrespected, and completely let down by a company we trusted for over a decade. Do better.

      The newer LA Fitness gyms are nice for working out, and the swimming pools are great for those of us who love to swim. I wish they could improve their music selection. About 90% of the members working out end up using headphones because the music played is pop trash. Basically, they play music for 13-year-olds. But most members are older than 21. I hate to have to use my headphones when I am at the gym, but listening to the teen pop Music makes more tired than the machines and weights. Fancy bars, trendy places, and restaurants, or breweries always play music that brings a great atmosphere to venues like Dream Pop, smooth rock, or other alternative genres of music. Is LA Fitness getting paid to play such uneducated and terrible music?

Inside of lockers are  filthy sewer flies in the showers along with mold equipment that’s been broken for going on six months. Too many trip hazards in the parking lot, dozens of huge potholes.

      I have been a client since the end of 2023. I had signed up both for a $50/month membership and $250/month personal training contract for 12 months. After those 12 months, I changed the subscription to paying about $60/month. Unfortunately, LA Fitness fired the two trainers with whom I felt comfortable, Crystal and Amanda. I tried working with two others and while they seemed nice, they did not really listen or pay attention to my goals. I explained I have a hiatal hernia and that I cannot have my chest below my lower body. Both of them had me use machines where my chest was lower. I decided to cancel the personal training but I still liked the gym, so I kept my regular membership.

      I was told I had 30 days from cancellation to use my personal training sessions by Gavin. I said ok. Joe was an excellent trainer; he listened, took notes, and actually tailored the workouts to my goals. I decided to ask about re-signing up. I let Gavin know that I could not re-sign up with a once-a-month payment for another session (because I had 19, now 15, left), I would just use the remaining sessions. He kindly said maybe a manager can consider other options. I said it was worth hearing out. I was shocked.

      The manager, Kristy, said that she could only do another contract for 9-months at $250. I said I understood since I had canceled and that I would just use my remaining sessions. She told me that my "sessions expired yesterday." I said, no, I was told I had 30 days from cancellation. She said, "No, it's 30 days from last payment." What? That is not what I was told and also, why? I've already paid for the sessions. This isn't the membership fee. I said no, I was told 30 days. She asked Gavin to look it up in the system. Gavin honestly replied, "It says until the 28th", obviously of March. Kristy even angrily replied, "Of this month?! No, check when the last payment was."

      It was February 5 (also not even a full 30 days ago yet by the way). She said that if they aren't expired now, they will be in two or three days, but that she would extend my time for those sessions if I paid for the $250 a month for 9 months. I said, "No, I'm not going to do that." She said, "Ok, bye." I was respectful the whole time. She lied to my face. She was angry when Gavin told the truth about what was in the system. Then, she rudely hung up on everyone. Although I had planned to keep my regular membership, I said cancel all of it. I am especially floored with how I was respectful, polite, said I understood that I cancelled the personal training, and that I was okay with their decision, and I would just use my remaining sessions. Then, for the manager to tell me I have no remaining sessions, that Gavin was mistaken, and that she would not honor what he told me, I was floored.

      I recommend this to anyone who wants to dedicate their time to LA Fitness. I currently have a disability and am unable to move freely. I use a scooter to get around the city. Some time ago, I started going to LA Fitness on Hollywood Boulevard. When I arrived and asked the manager, Christopher, for help, he refused. My request was that I leave my scooter inside, so as not to create any problems for club members or employees. Unfortunately, two days after I started leaving my scooter outside, it was stolen. The lock intended for securing my scooter was damaged. Unfortunately, the manager, Christopher, learned of this and began allowing customers of the Hollywood Boulevard Fitness to leave their scooters inside, which resulted in my injury.

      I have been unable to work for more than six months due to rehabilitation, but Christopher didn't understand this. He demonstrated his strength and importance, but I was left without a scooter.

I decided to add my son and my boyfriend few months ago unfortunately my boyfriend did not like LA Fitness so few weeks after I asked to cancel it. He told me to come back after a month since it's already been processed and charged for a month.

And will be charged less.

      I trusted him, for few months I thought I was only being charged less but when I checked this morning, I was charged the same amount. I called the gym and talked to another employee about the situation and told me my boyfriend needs to cancel it and I asked why I am the one who added them into changing my single account to family membership, she said I can come to the gym and talk to the manager so I went and talked to him first and later with the other employee that I spoke on the phone and reminded him everything and he said yes I sent a request to corporate few months ago I don't know why it did not get cancel.

      I asked him "Can you show me when did you send a request for cancellation" and he said "Ohh I can't see anymore records from last year because it refreshes every years." IT'S BS . He lied many times. He just cancelled it today without waiting for the corporate. I called the corporate and the representative did not see any cancellation request prior today and cant give me a refund.

      0 stars. These people will not take a hint that I am not staying there. First the pool heater hasn't worked in a year. Secondly it's dirty as hell in the locker rooms. Secondly my son got out of the pool to go to the bathroom (he's 15) and just as I'm walking in about 30 seconds after him I see a guy trying to talk to him and dropped his towel on purpose exposing himself to my son. I informed them and they played it off as an accident. When I then confronted the guy after he was dressed the gym made it seem as I was the one out of line. So I canceled my membership and changed my bank card so they couldn't try to charge it.

      Welp here we are 3 weeks later and I have received 37 yes 37 phone calls as well as a number of text and emails about their 45 payment. Um I canceled well there is a process. Yup sure is I canceled and changed that card. These people are way out of control with there constant trying to upset, not taking complaints seriously and then the icing on the cake the dude that decided it was a good idea to expose himself to my son. So ** LA Fitness. This is Texas not Cali. Take that ** back there.

      Impossible to cancel the membership. Never join. They need a barcode instead of an email to log in. It is super easy to forget the barcode. They know it. That is why they want the member to log in with a barcode. So the member can never cancel it.

      Do not give them your credit card ever, they will keep finding a way to charge you and not to cancel your subscription. They will double charge you when you change it, they will set multiple subscription accounts without you even knowing it. Very poor way to run business.

      I’ve had a terrible experience with LA Fitness. Despite providing a doctor’s letter stating I need to rest and cannot exercise for at least a year due to medical reasons, the gym has refused to cancel my membership. Their customer service has been completely unhelpful and dismissive. It’s extremely disappointing that a fitness company — one that should prioritize health — is unwilling to work with customers facing genuine medical issues. Their policies are full of hidden loopholes, and they don’t clearly explain membership terms when signing up. I strongly urge anyone considering LA Fitness to think twice and read all the fine print before joining. It’s unfortunate to see a company value profit over people's health and well-being.

      I want to share a very upsetting experience I had today at the Windward, Georgia location. When I entered the women’s locker room, there was no sign warning that a male employee was working inside. I began showering, and within a couple of minutes, I heard men’s voices. When I looked out from the shower curtain, I was shocked to see a man inside the women’s locker room, standing near the handicap shower area. I was frightened and immediately told him someone was in the shower and that he needed to leave, but he didn’t respond. I quickly put on my robe and went out to find help. I asked the front desk to send a manager. A woman came, spoke to the man, and then told me to wait half an hour for him to finish his work.

      I was angry and asked why I had to stop my shower and wait for him, instead of asking him to leave temporarily so I could finish. The manager insisted the worker had “followed procedure,” claiming he put a sign outside and had received permission from another woman to enter. I pointed out that this didn’t make it acceptable—he should have checked if anyone was inside the showers before coming in. The manager even said another woman was showering while the man was working, and asked me to look for myself. I refused. Just because one person was okay with it doesn’t mean it was appropriate for everyone. Privacy and safety should not depend on one person’s comfort.

      To make matters worse, the manager told me she was on her unpaid lunch break and couldn’t help further, even though she admitted she was the only female staff member there. I was stunned that a manager would excuse herself from helping a distressed customer because she wasn’t being paid at that moment. This incident made me feel unsafe, disrespected, and completely unprotected. Allowing a man to work inside the women’s shower area, without a female staff member present, is deeply inappropriate and a violation of privacy. It shows a serious lack of management training and concern for women’s safety. I truly hope the company takes this issue seriously. I reserve my right to report the incident to the police and expect the company to improve its policies and staff training immediately to prevent this from happening to anyone else.

      When signing up for a 3 month training program with LA Fitness at Atlantic Beach, FL we were given a price for the program. After verifying multiple times with Eric there was no additional fees before signing the contract we were shocked to find out that we were charged 30 days later for the second month and not to mention for the upcoming third month payment. Shameful!

      An absolute disgrace! I live in central/uptown Phoenix and have been an LA Fitness member since the 2077 E. Camelback Road location was built and opened. That is the location I visit most often and over the years I have seen it deteriorate! Sauna, pool and spa are closed for weeks at a time, when they are open, they are beyond filthy: sediment at the bottom of both the pool and jacuzzi, murky water in the pool, dirty changing rooms, unidentified bugs crawling on the sauna floor (which was always brought to the attention of the front desk staff)... An absolute nightmare to the point that patrons had to call Maricopa County Health Department several times for violations.

      Now for weeks that location has both the pool and the jacuzzi closed with no date of reopening. So, I go to the 710 W. Camelback location only to find the jacuzzi indefinitely closed by the order of the Maricopa Health Department as a health risk. Sauna barely heats up, and the pool is beyond freezing! Now I am an experienced swimmer and a cooler pool is preferable to the overheated one, but this one is fit for a polar bear swim!

      I heard from another patron who came to the 710 West Camelback location yesterday that another location that is within relatively reasonable driving distance from my place and is closest to hers, also has had their jacuzzi and pool closed and the sauna hasn't been working for weeks, too. This is absolutely inexcusable! I live in an HOA condo complex and when we have a serious issue like this (and we had several in the past two years), the management company gets things repaired within days, even when there is a need for parts replacement. And your LA Fitness location managers can't do it for weeks and sometimes even months! Additionally, one can never get hold of the location managers, staff is curt, short, and some downright rude when interacting with patrons who dare ask questions.

      The only years that the 2077 E. Camelback operated as it should, were when ** (I don't remember the last name) was the general manager at that location. He was efficient and friendly with patrons, he got things done, and he made sure the place was always clean and working properly. Since he was promoted to the regional manager, things went downhill and stayed downhill.

      Over the years, I tried calling the corporate office many times about issues at the Camelback location and never got anywhere: never got to speak with anyone and calls went to voicemail and were never returned. This is a blatant, complete, utter disregard and disrespect of patrons who pay your dividends and bonuses! It is HIGH TIME that corporate leadership take interest in these locations and make things right.

      However, I am not holding my breath that anything will be done - after all, all past attempts to get operations improved and facilities brought up to functional condition in central Phoenix were ignored. But, maybe, perhaps, per chance we might see some action from leadership that will make it possible for LA Fitness patrons to have the repairs done efficiently and quickly so they can enjoy the membership benefits they are paying for, rather than having to look for alternate fitness places. I am also not holding my breath that anyone will respond this time, as nobody responded to a myriad of complaints over the years! The ball is in your court ...

      LA FITNESS customer service is really bad, especially ** from the headquarters. She obviously doesn't care about their customers. Three months ago someone broke multiple lockers in the men's locker room on 5950 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036 and took a lot of personal valuables from the members. One of those victims was me! They cut my padlock with... most likely a bolt cutter and took a lot of my valuables (mostly cash). When I went down to the front desk, there were already a few other members waiting for cooperation with the same problem. It was shocking how the employees were acting like: "It is not a big deal. Someone just robbed all of you...."

      The most shocking was a confession: "...Oh, that is not the first time! It happened many times before...." I tried to reach the superior management to let them know what's going on, but I got only apathy, lacking motivation, and showing no interest in what happened. I tried to reach them multiple times. ** supposed to be a "superior club manager". The people who responded were sending these: "...We apologize for the delay. I sent a message directly to ** to let her know to call you...." "...I have forwarded the additional details to **. She is usually there M-F 9a-5p and can also be reached at 323-934-6150...." Three (3) months later she still didn't call at all. Obviously she DOESN'T CARE about the members of LA FITNESS!!!

      Hello, because I travel frequently, I visit La Fitness branches everywhere I go to relax. Today, for the first time, I waited in the Delray Beach, Florida, location for nearly an hour to use the sauna, but I couldn't. If you're wondering why, someone must have done something stupid. So, I encountered the rich here, too. Why would these managers victimize dozens of my customers just because one person will use it? I encountered it for the first time here in Delray Beach. So, is there class discrimination here? When the rich come, the poor can't use it. Please stop this nonsense, because reserving a seat in a sauna is a huge absurdity for one person.

      Has a lot of locations so traveling is usually not a problem to find a gym. Good gym equipment. Fairly new and well maintained. Best thing is it has a deal where you can bring a friend to work out with you anytime with a lot of paperwork or salesmen trying to sell you gym buddy. One slight issue is since they have basketball there is a lot of kids that sometimes is a little undisciplined. Also not crazy crowded even at peak times.

      Avoid this gym. Terrible customer service. Dirty and overcrowded. Pushy sales people. Not only that, but you are misquoted constantly. I was trying to add my girlfriend and I got three different quotes from three different people at my local gym. So I called corporate and then they missed quoted me. I called back to take the offer that they had given me only to be told that I had wasted my lunch break and they had given me the wrong information the day before and they didn’t even have the decency to call me back and made me wait to call them on my lunch break.
