    LA fitness in grand prairie Tx was a sad experience, I tried it out because its covered by Medicare, there was free weights on the floor and dumbbells no one was returning them to the rack making a lot of trip hazards, couldn't find the kettlebells I needed to work out it, they were missing a lot of them, dumbbells and free weights on the floor where the sled is kept. I went up to speak to a enrollment person. I found a man sitting behind a desk. He said he was a maintenance man, the men's looker room had a couple of locker doors broken. The floor by the the weights needed repair, the floor was dirty. I found a young lady that was on the phone. After she was done I told I wanted to cancel, it didn't seem that she care much. I'm not a member anymore, so I checked out Fitness connection in Grand Prairie. I liked it, maybe you should too. See what a nice gym looks like.

    LA Fitness 600 Gwinnett Lawrenceville - I am very disappointed with the manager. I am a loyal member since the beginning of this gym. I recommended friends before. 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. Came back after a month talked to him and he said it's not corporate office hours, come back when it's office hours, I came back and asked me my boyfriend's phone number, and went to check into his computer and he told me it's done. 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. I asked if how you address this problem, he said he will talk to him in private that nobody can hear. HOW WOULD I KNOW THEY WILL ACT ON THIS. I Love this gym because of the people I have met and found friendship. But after this event, I am not recommending this gym until something change with their management and billing. VERY VERY VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!

    I signed a one year contract with LA Fitness over 3 years ago. I completed that contract 2 years ago and was being billed month to month ever since...$540/month for 12 sessions. I was called by an La Fitness trainer in November letting me know that my trainer was no longer with them. I told that person to cancel my training sessions. I visited them in person a couple of days later to advise them again that I had cancelled and wanted reimbursement. They said it would be taken care of. They did nothing and I was billed again for $540...

    I disputed with Amex about the charge and La Fitness sent them a letter that I had to sign docs to cancel. Went in again and was told by the fitness manager that all I had to do was what I was doing...telling them to cancel and it would be taken care but that I had to call corporate to do so. Was told by corporate that they had no record of me cancelling and nothing could be done. I spent multiple hours with phone calls and visits to try and get my money back. Nothing. BUYER BEWARE!

    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.

    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 unless you enjoy being billed long after you've canceled. Before relocating out of state, my husband and I went in person to cancel our "family membership". I made it absolutely clear this meant all accounts--mine, my husband's, and my kids'. The staff confirmed face-to-face that NOTHING further would be charged. That promise was worthless. Months later, I discovered they were still pulling money out of my account. When I called, staff admitted it should have been canceled, promised a manager would get back to me, and then never followed through. Emails? Ignored.

    When I finally spoke with a manager named Sabrina, she admitted the error but offered only a token one-month refund--refusing to correct months of overcharges. She withheld her last name, refused to connect me with her supervisor, and shoved me off to "guest services," who predictably bounced me back to the same unhelpful location. This isn't a mistake--it's a business model. LA Fitness profits off errors they create, hides behind managers who refuse accountability, and treats a decade of loyalty as disposable. Consider this your warning- don't gym here!

    I will never do business with this company again. My credit card expired and I let them know I was moving so they could go ahead and cancel my membership. I was told I had to go into the store. I explained that I had Covid 19 and did not think that would be wise. They ended up charging me anyway and the next call I was told you can cancel online, I asked why I was not given that option and was told that different stores will try to collect even if they are out of state and do not know how things work in different state.

    I got another call to collect and that I can't cancel until I pay. I did that and asked again if they prefer people with Covid 19 to come in and cancel and they said they were fine with that if you wore a mask which we all now know does nothing to protect people. This company is so greedy they are willing to put the health of their patrons and employees at risk just to make it difficult to cancel your membership.

    I really liked this gym until I signed up for the personal training. I went into the gym to cancel the personal training next day but was convinced by Pedro to freeze the account which I did. What he didn't tell me was if I froze the account, I would have to pay a monthly $15.00 charge. Because I froze it for medical reasons, I had no idea how long it would need to be frozen. Now, Fitness International, LLC will waive my fees to freeze the account as long as I provide them with my medical record. Without having one class, if I cancel the membership, I lose $1125.00.

    I joined in the Ina Location in Tucson Arizona in May of 2025 and to date everything has been going wonderfully. However today I had perhaps one of the most unprofessional interactions I've had with someone in a customer service position. Two days ago I arrived to a sign indicating the pool was closed. When I inquired about it reopening I was told it wasn't technically closed and we could swim at our own risk which I did. This morning I called a little before 9 am and spoke to Miranda D and asked if the pool was open and if any classes were going on. She told me there was an aqua fit class at 9 but after that it would be open for lap swimming. I arrived around 10:45 and a man was in the pool swimming laps. Right after I got in she entered the pool area and asked me to get out. I asked why and she claimed she didn't like the look of the pool.

    I told her about the interaction two days ago and asked if we could swim at our own risk or if I had to get out. She replied "Well I'm not going to drag you out." At that point I replied "Okay I'll respect that." And I got out of the pool. I proceeded to walk out a door that had been propped for the past 3 days with a fan that people have been going in and out of. She waited until I got into the doorway and then yelled across the pool "You can't go out that door." At that point I was already out and on the other side. She proceeded to chase after me screaming "What is your name. I will revoke your membership right now. What is your name." I was stunned. I went to the desk to speak to a manager who I knew and I expressed concern that she was confrontational, aggressive and threatening. She denied that yelling at me saying she would revoke my membership was a threat.

    At no point did I argue with her, raise my voice or otherwise engage with her in a way that could be considered disrespectful. It was such a benign situation that I was truly stunned at the unprofessionalism displayed. I asked for her supervisor's name and she provided Alex **. She contacted him in my presence to let him know I would reach out. I've attempted to do so and so far I've received no response. I then reached out to James ** and have not received a call back either. I am concerned that this level of unprofessionalism was exhibited. And even when attempting to talk to her she could have apologized at that point for her reaction but instead dug her heels in.

    I think the way she engaged was entirely inappropriate and demonstrates a lack of professionalism and maturity that is required for the position she is fulfilling. If that is how she engaged with customers in a customer service position it is alarming. No one deserves to be yelled at and treated with the level of disrespect I was subjected to when I ultimately willingly complied with exiting the pool through an open door that multiple people had gone in and out of.

Additionally, the steam room is not clean, and there's an exposed electrical wire and socket with dangling wires and no cover, which is a safety hazard. The steam room door is also missing a gasket, causing the steam to escape. Furthermore, the sauna has been out of commission for years without being repaired.

    I joined LA Fitness on July 2nd of this year. My first visit was on July 7th for water aerobics. This was the only reason I joined the gym because I needed water therapy for my knee. After attending the class, I realized there were no offerings for evening classes as had been offered in the past. When I asked about the possibility of evening classes, I was advised to contact corporate to see if there is something that could be done. I was told at the gym they did not make the decisions. I called corporate immediately and inquired about additional classes being offered at the gym. I was advised at that time that it was up to the gym manager to schedule those classes, but was offered to change my membership to a different location that offered classes in the evening.

    Because this did not fit my schedule and the fact the alternate gym wasn’t close to me, I made the decision to cancel my membership on July 14th. I only attended the gym once. When I canceled the membership I was advised that everything was done and I wouldn’t be charged anything additional. I was also advised that I could actually use my membership until August 1st. I only went once and didn’t use the gym any more. On July 28th I was charging an annual fee. I immediately called the gym to inquire about the fee and asked why was I charged. The young man who answered the phone advised me that I should not have been charged because I canceled my membership. He however, couldn’t credit my account but for me to call corporate and corporate could do it for me.

    I spoke with Michael in corporate, who advised me that my money would not be returned as I signed a contract at the gym. If I wanted my money back, I could dispute it with my bank. I was very upset to hear this and I asked to speak to a manager. I was advised that there was nobody else that I could talk to and advised to dispute it with my bank. I asked again to speak with someone else again. I was refused and was directed yet again to dispute it with my bank. Not only could nothing be done for me. I was advised that I should’ve read the contract. That is absolutely correct. I should have read the contract, but who does that?? I called a second time to speak to an agent name Javier who advised me that there was nothing he could do.

    At that time I asked for the corporate office number, a corporate address or a corporate email. I was advised there was nothing they could be given to me in that nature. I asked for Javier’s manager once again, saying that he was the manager and he had nobody over him. I explained that I have been in customer service for over 30 years. Everybody has a manager unless you are the owner. I went through all of this for $63.87. I asked again to let me speak to someone else. Instead he hung up on me and I was presented with a one question survey Rating them on a scale of 1-3; 3 being the worst. I gave it a 3 and my call was disconnected. I had my friend on the line who witnessed the entire conversation and we were both shocked at the type of service we were provided.

    I called the local gym and spoke to the manager, who although he was not able to credit my account as he would have liked to. He did provide me with the corporate address that I had asked Javier for. If you are thinking about joining LA fitness don’t do it. There are many other gyms out there that don’t require a contract for membership. LA fitness is also one of the higher price gyms but I didn’t mind because I needed water therapy. How can you be charged for a service that you don’t have, only used one time and only had for less than two weeks? Customer service at a corporate level is horrendous! I’m going on every social media platform, giving horrible reviews and contacting the Better Business Bureau. I just want my money back!!

    I used a LA Fitness in Minneapolis today only to be almost kick out because I ask people to shower and wear bathing suit as it's the rules are stated on the swimming room and hot tub door. I told management of the situation, the management stated I will be throw out if If I continue to complain. I was told by this staff person those people do not need to bathe or wear swimming attire to to used the hot tub or swimming pool. I ask what the staff was referring to as those people. They appear to be from the Middle East and the staff appear to be the same perhaps.
