This is the "collection agency who harassed me and my family on behalf of bogus debt claims by LA Workout....this woman has been arrested for assuming her dead mother's identity for fraudulent purposes and owned the "simple collections' agency that LA workout turned peoples names into for false debt...we owed nothing and had to get our bank officers involved to make them stop . See attached article about the kind of people LA workout does business with" Oxnard woman accused of stealing dead mother's identity Posted: 11:43 AM, Sep 25, 2014 OXNARD, Calif. - An Oxnard woman is accused of stealing her dead mother's identity to open credit car accounts, Ventura County Sheriff's officials said. Authorities began investigating Sandra Lopez, 40, last month and eventually determined that she stole her mother's identity and opened five separate accounts. Detectives also learned that Lopez handled a collection agency called Simple Collections. The accounts were allegedly opened within weeks of the death and were used for Lopez's own benefit. Detectives discovered evidence of Lopez's crimes in her home and she is being charged on suspicion of felony identity theft. Officials remind residents to notify financial institutions and credit agencies when a family member dies to avoid fraudulent financial activities. ************************************************************************************* A requirement of membership to the club is to have monthly dues autodeducted from your bank or credit account.....fine, signed up about 9 months ago...the fees came out of my acount every month.....three months ago I start getting letters from a collection agency...Sandra Lopez of Simple Collections.......figure its some kind of scam so I call LA workout to let them know someone is sending these letters out...they say they know nothing about it....but they'll let the owner know...give them all the info I have about the agency.....get another letter a month later...call LA workout again.. this time they tell me they can't help me...I need to "work it out" with the collection agency...what???!!! fees continue to come out of my account and the person at the agency insists that I owe about $375 in fees....I tell her I have all the verification that I've paid every single one of my monthly fees and she hangs up on me. I've requested membership and autodeduct cancellation and filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Fees are still being deducted..so I'm headed to the bank. Before you waste a lot of time and money, research all the complaints about this place.....there are plenty of them.
I like this gym. Overall it is clean, not overly crowded, and for the most part, the clientele there is nice and friendly. The staff has always been really helpful and friendly as well. The fees are not horrendously high and they offer a good selection of overhead music, not too loud or offensive (and you can vote for the music you want through their website if you are so inclined). I would have given 5 stars but no gym seems to be perfect. The only negatives I see are the elderly clientele that sometimes sit on machines or around machines talking instead of moving their conversations to the side. Also, the gym should take control of the fans out of the hands of the members. The overhead oscillating fans and A/C would be sufficient for cooling down the cardio area. When members position the fan directly hitting them, it's selfish....but people are people. The staff should try to control that a bit better. I have been a member of various other gyms over the years, and LA Workout is by far the most comfortable and inviting.
Amazing gym. Very progressive. Have an entire section for HIIT / CrossFit. Kettlebells and battle ropes. Also have all traditional gym equipment. Very happy with this gym
I really love this gym. It's clean, the staff is helpful and friendly, and they are open 24 hours for members! They have all the basic equipment, classes, plus an awesome new crossfit area. Location is great, too- right off the freeway. Parking is always easy and I've never had to wait for a treadmill to open up like you sometimes do at other busy gyms. Definitely recommended! Check it out.
This gym is AWFUL! It is dirty, the equipment is old and run down, and the Management and Owners are rude and unprofessional! They never turn on the air conditioning and use fans instead. There are no blinds on the windows so you are blinded by the sun beaming in on your face and making it very hot. If you like working out with people over 70 years old and don't mind that they sit and talk while taking up the machines, this is the place for you. Some of the trainers are good, but the really good trainers don't last long, and why would they? Who would want to work at a place like this? This is one of the worst gyms I have ever been to! I canceled my membership, with a great deal of issues of course and will never go back.
