La Fitness South Plainfield. Horrible cleaning conditions. Sauna room terrible. Wish I could show pictures. Vents dusty, have not cleaned in months or maybe a year. No manager available to talk to. I was given the name Stacey and Afnan.

So this is what you get joining a premium gym. I know they are in financial trouble being sued by the FTC, still no excuse for the condition of the club. Hot tub hasn’t worked in almost 6 months. Nobody will give you an answer one time when I ask when it’s gonna be up and running the young man behind the counter, said when pigs fly . I see other clubs hot tubs have been down for six or more months. showers, soap dispensers, most are broken. What’s not broken or empty? 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. They have been closing a number of gyms, not only in Michigan, but Ohio and many other states.  so I was looking for a new gym to go to. This probably wouldn’t be the one.

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. Also, anyone who wants to visit LA Fitness at the above address should know that the sauna is infested with cockroaches, which indicates unsanitary conditions at this gym. Thank you all for your attention.

I bought a membership for my daughter who is in high school. The club next to our house ended up closing, and I am unable to get a refund for the membership that I paid for her. This membership was bought due to the location of the club. Unfortunately, they will lose me as a member as well.

I had a very disappointing experience at LA Fitness on Westheimer Road. A group of about 25 of us have active memberships specifically to use the volleyball court. Recently, Manager Orlando refused to open the volleyball court for us without providing any clear or reasonable explanation. Instead of addressing our concerns or offering a solution, we were told that the court would be closed for a month and that if we didn’t like it, we could cancel our memberships.
This response was unprofessional and dismissive, especially considering we are paying members who joined primarily for access to that facility. Closing the court for an extended period without proper communication or accommodation is unacceptable, and telling loyal members to cancel instead of resolving the issue shows a lack of customer care. Very disappointed with the management and how this situation was handled.

One of the employees bullied my mother to make her leave the gym. Usually, the gym closes at 8 PM, but this employee was clapping her hands and yelling profanities, screaming at my mother to get out of the building. My mother has been a loyal member for three years, yet this employee shows a complete lack of respect, not only for elders but also for members who choose to support this business. This behavior is unacceptable and reflects a bullying mentality.

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.

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.

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 would think long and hard about joining a club that cares about $20 over the health of their people
