    Worst experience ever!!! Went in with girls to cancel my membership and I got interrogated and harassed by Club Manager. Accusing me with misinformation and told me to pulled up my bank statements right now to prove it. I did through my BOA app on my ph. Showed him all withdrawals from LA Fitness but said, "I don’t know what you are showing me and can’t trust what I am seeing." It was such a nightmare and I am still in shock how these club managers can be. No empathy/mistreating/negative language. I have a whole video recorded. I am not done here LA fitness. I cried and left with embarrassments. Landing, Renton is the worst place to go to guys. Staying away from LA Fitness will be the best.

    I do not recommend getting the personal training. The sessions are only 30 min long and they lock you into a contract for at least 9 months. If a change is needed because of life they won’t work with you.

    I'm going to LA Fitness for strength/weight training. Good experience so far with the trainers I've had. I had a personal fitness assessment and a workout plan which I'm doing, received a book to log my activities. Learning how to use the various equipment, plus I use the exercise bike and treadmill to warm up.

    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

    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. Doing a Google search, I found Federal Trade Commission has already sued Fitness International for deceptive practices.

    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.

    I joined the La Habra gym for the Aqua Fit classes only. The pool has been closed for months because the roof above is not stable. There is not another location that has aqua fit classes close to me. Too inconvenient. I have several medical issues and right now the Aqua Fit classes is what works for me. Every time I call to speak with a manager, no one is available, they’re out “canvassing”. I’ve been told you can only cancel Mon-Fri 10-5. Really?!! I work! Also, they have a link through the app, if you click on receipts to go to cancel. It’s super small print with a hyperlink that doesn’t work. I have also tried to call their main office and haven’t been able to. I feel like a hostage to LA Fitness. I just want out!! If I could give a no-star review, I would!

    I'm writing to express my concerns about the Broadlands location in Ashburn, Virginia. The music from the aerobic class is blasting with the door wide open, making it difficult for me to focus on my workout even with my earbuds on. 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. The Jacuzzi is dirty and filthy around the edges. Attached pictures to show that the place needs a lot of attention. I hope you'll address these issues promptly. Thank you.

    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!!

    If you care about your personal belongings, think twice before using the Northridge LA Fitness. Our son has had three separate items stolen at this location. Last theft happened just this week, July 16, while he was using the gym. He left his ball on top of his backpack, and within the hour, it was gone. We reported all three incidents. The staff promised follow-up each time but never followed through. We've asked for security footage review, preventative measures, and reimbursement for stolen items. The response we received is that LA Fitness is not responsible for lost or stolen items, but they regret this has happened. As long-time paying members, we expect better.

    Worst gym manager, ** (with a curly hair). I came in with 2 of my guests: 1 is under my membership guess pass (14 yrs old), and the other 1 was given a referral thru a 7-day pass (20 yrs old). He was quite unsure who can avail the referral pass and the other. He was insisting that the 14-old cannot come in because she is underage (she is coming with an adult, it's me!), and offer me to purchase a day pass for her. He also said that the referral pass can only be used after 24 hours from registration. I asked him to show me the instructions that say so, but he cannot show any, with an alibi of "my phone is not with me". This manager is so absurd!

    DO NOT EVER COME HERE! I cancelled my membership in person on July 30th, 2024 and was told my membership was cancelled, yet found out recently they have been charging me for the past year and misinformed me that my membership was cancelled when in actuality it was not. On July 30th, 2024, the manager on the floor at that time was the one who helped me, though I did not catch his name. He sat me down by his desk and proceeded to try to convince me to stay, even offering a free personal training session. I declined, and the conversation lasted around 20-30 minutes as he told me he was processing my member cancellation. He clearly stated to me that he completed my membership cancellation and I was “all good to go” and would receive a confirmation of my cancellation via email. The email unfortunately never came, and I did not discover the recurring charges until June 15th of this year.

    I went back to this location on June 25th, 2025 and wanted to speak with the club manager about the fraudulent charges over the past year. I spoke with Kay, who was the manager, and told him about the situation. Kay told me that he saw on his computer that I did attempt to close out my membership on July 30th, 2024 on his end. He told me to call the LA Fitness billing department, and I asked for a printout of what he was seeing on his desktop so I could present it as evidence when talking to the billing team. He denied me a printout of what he was seeing, and assured me that if he was able to see it on his end, then the LA fitness billing team would no doubt be able to see the attempted cancellation on July 30th, 2024 as they share the same system. I then left and called the billing department, and I spoke with Emily from member services.

    I spoke to a representative Emily from Member Services at 3:37 EST on June 16th on a recorded line and she repeatedly denied seeing the attempted cancellation on July 30th 2024, though we confirmed with Kay, the club manager, that there was an attempted cancellation on that date just moments prior. Emily then tried to tell me that they had sent an email on July 30th, 2024 containing a form that I needed to print, fill out, and mail to confirm my cancellation and that it was not a receipt of my cancellation, but I never received the email. I was informed by the manager who cancelled my membership that this email would be a cancellation receipt. Nonetheless, the email never arrived and Emily repeatedly told me that this email should have arrived in my inbox, though I checked my spam and trash and confirmed my email with her.

    I have repeatedly asked Emily to let me speak with a manager from the billing department and she kept denying me to speak with one, assuring me that although she was from the member services department, she was still the best person to talk to. After some back and forth, we did not reach any solution. She refused to refund me the nearly $300 they have been fraudulently charging me for.

    I then was informed by Emily that only operations managers at LA fitness have the authority to cancel memberships. Then she told me that “the manager [who I spoke to on July 30th, 2024] was not the operations manager and did not have the authority to close out [my] account.” If he did not have the authority to close out my account, he should have told me to wait for someone who had the authority to cancel my account and have them do it for me. Yet, instead of handling this issue responsibly, the person I spoke to on July 30th, 2024 erroneously told me that the membership was cancelled although it was not.

    It is absolutely ridiculous that I was told by the manager on July 30th, 2024 that I would receive a confirmation email of my cancellation, and then being told by Emily that it was not a confirmation email of my cancellation and never receiving any sort of email from them. I find it unethical that I was repeatedly being charged a large sum of money ($300) for an employee from LA Fitness’s mistake. I will never join LA Fitness again and don't ever come here unless you want to lose hundreds of dollars.

And the front staffs are rude and makes you feel unwelcoming. And there are several times, the janitor was standing right behind me while I was working out and she freaked me out. So I moved to different machine, and the janitor followed me again and placed the water bucket right behind me.

I also have membership with Equinox, and the janitors don't dare to come near people while they are working out. This is all due poor management. If there was another gym nearby, this gym will not survive. And some of my ** friends who doesn't speak English that well were mistreated and start going to Orangetheory.

    The gym I go to isn’t horrible but it’s definitely below average in most areas. The girl who is supposed to be in charge of customer relations is usually unfriendly. At any given time, 30 percent of the treadmills do not work. It’s at least 77 or 78 degrees in there, maybe warmer. A gym should be reasonably cool, no warmer than 72. There have also been thefts in the men’s locker room that no one bothered looking into. On a positive note some of the staff make it a point to be friendly which is good and the price certainly is reasonable, it’s not expensive. They also tend to hound you initially for personal training. Canceling is way too hard.

I get to enjoy hearing people speak their language continually. They rarely speak boring ol' English and on the off chance that they do, it's infused with the rich tones of their native tongue to the point of being almost indistinguishable from their own language.

    Coming here is a daily reminder of all the wonderful changes our city and our country is undergoing as we become increasingly diverse and multicultural. It is feeling nothing like the country of my youth (which was all white-bread ---eww, yuck!). I now feel like I'm more of a citizen of the world than ever before... and I didn't even need to leave my own city to experience it. We are all enjoying exercising, side-by-side, as brothers and sisters, as part of this great melting pot. I love all these new Canadians as I see them as part of my own family <3. ¡Hasta la vista, amigos!

    Fraud company. Already cancel all membership 2 year ago, one membership put on freeze and charge card without notification. Call in corporate for issue so they reply, probably not same people. They can't do nothing. No complaint department. Customer service zero. Cheating with customer.

    I have been a member at the La Fitness Club Lanham, Maryland location for 3 years now and the ladies' locker room is filthy and disgusting. I have witnessed two elderly women take a fall on the floor because no one mops the wet floor after or during the swimming class sessions. The shower stalls are dirty and have small bugs flying around (sewer flies). There are dry blood stains on the handicap shower curtain. Trash is always on the floor, like paper towels and used feminine products (sanitary pad). I paid for these amenities and expected to receive services provided. The conditions need to be improved because this is unacceptable under the State Board.

    For the first time member at LA fitness, had a very bad experience with their personal training program. My membership for personal training sessions had ended since June 2024, at 10988 Magnolia Ave, Riverside, CA 92505, however, LA fitness kept charging me for all the time without informing us. When I requested them to credit my money back for refund they told us they cannot do that since the sessions were used and the manager named ** for personal training program was so rude too. For the most part they didn’t had trainers & I didn’t even used the training sessions but I was still charged. This is very disappointing & frustrating at the same time. Upon asking to giving their district managers email or phone number they provided us with false information. I hope someone takes some kind of action as this is NOT acceptable at all. I will Not recommend anyone to LA fitness as they offer SCAM offers on personal training sessions.

    I wanted to join LA Fitness’ three month membership while snowbirding in Largo, Florida. I wanted to try a class before I joined. I had to pay $20 to try the class and Darren said I would be reimbursed if I decided to do a three month membership. I loved the classes that were held by Tammy and Susan. Therefore, decided to join. Once I paid, Darren told me I would see a credit of the $20. I kept reminding Darren I was not reimbursed and it was now 2 1/2 months later.

    I went to Amber at the Largo, FL desk and she said she’d have to call her district manager. A week later, Amber said there was no way they could reimburse my $20. I told her this was unacceptable and I wanted a supervisor name and phone number. She could only provide me with a general email, no name, no phone number. I researched and found the LA Fitness corporate offices and spoke to Lena. It took Lena just a few minutes after talking to Amber, and finally received a reimbursement. Why should it be so difficult to be reimbursed? It became the principle of the thing and the rudeness of the staff that made me pursue this and write this review. Shout out to Lena she was very helpful in assisting me.

    August 2024 We went into the club with ID to quit the membership. They refused to terminate saying the right person wasn't in the building to terminate but instead put us onto inactive status but had a $10.99 monthly fee. The facility closed its doors sometime in 2024. We still paid the monthly fee but then they raised it to $54. That's when we called the credit card company to challenge the charge. They kept calling at least 3 times a week trying to get their money. Each time I stated I wanted to terminate. Nobody listens or acts. They still keep calling as of May 16, 2025. Worst experience I have ever had trying to terminate a service.

    Filthy. Disgusting. Abhorrent. I've never written a review online in my entire life. I don't really believe in them - I think people who write them have nothing better to do, etc. I AM MAKING AN EXCEPTION TO MY RULE. I hope this review goes viral. How would you feel if you were changing in the men's room, and right by your locker, was a dirty, eaten BANANA PEEL. Like right in front of your locker where you were going to put your bare ** down to change. Know also this happened one week ago, by the same member, and you asked them not to do it, and they ignored you and did it again anyway.

    Ok, now imagine that that same member did it all over again. Their slimy, dirty, banana peel on your bench, where you just came from work, wanted to work out, and not get whatever worm-ridden filth comes from this dirty eaten banana peel. So then you ask this member to throw it away, they ignore you, and say "everyone eats bananas in this locker room", and refuses to do it. And then you go to the front desk and ask what the policy is on having GARBAGE where people change, and they look at their co-worker and mockingly "bro-y" say "Hey do we have a policy on this?" All the while everyone at the front desk smirking and mocking a customer who doesn't want to sit in scum.

    And then you go back with the "manager" (not the real manager, those folks were apologetic and wonderful) to the locker room and they don't ask the member to throw away the slimy scum that is this other member's trash. And then you ask to speak to the manager and they say: "BRO do you know how crazy you sound? It's just a banana peel! You can go and sit somewhere else!" And then when you call member services the "manager" says to the kid at the front desk: "CANCEL HIS MEMBERSHIP!" Twice. I mean, come on , "bro". Absolutely disgusting. The only saving grace is that I called the national member services line and instantly got 4 apologies with people who obviously recognize that no one want to sit their genitalia in someone else' garbage. Really?

    LA Fitness is poorly managed and property security is non existent. At least 3 lockers, with locks, were broken into today with valuables stolen. Their response is that they are not liable. They also refused to make a police report even though multiple members were impacted. This type of indifference on top of poor security is inexcusable. Look elsewhere for your fitness facility.

    LA Fitness has some great class instructors other than that the flexibility on membership is the worse. It is expensive to sign up with deposits and you have to cancel in person. Even in situations where you have an injury.. No flexibility and it was created that way to make it harder for their customers to leave… Terrible! Also, no receipts are available on the app or over the phone so if you have membership reimbursement from work you need to go there in person.. Don’t forget also it has to be within their business hours of 9-5pm so you might have to take time off from work.

    I prefer working out in the water so my experience consists only of the pool and spa area and the instructors connected to it. More and more often we arrive to find the pool too cold or too dirty, the spa not hot or clean, substitute instructors arriving late, unprepared and unfamiliar with the fitness level of our class while well-educated and prepared instructors show up less and less often. We have addressed to the issue in person and ask why our group tends to always be put on the back burner, but have never received a satisfactory answer or even an acknowledgment that there is a problem. Data shows that the older demographic will be growing over the next few years and are generally able to afford membership. So is it really wise to ignore issues that concern us? When the facility opens at 5:00 a.m., why is it that the pool and qualified instructor cannot be ready by 9:00?
