LA Fitness
Reviews
March 4, 2015: After seeing the gym today I felt obligated to add to my review. This gym is filthy and it doesn't appear anything will ever be done about it. The locker room floor is carpet and they clearly never actually clean it, when you head toward the showers there is lint/hair etc all over the ground. The shower curtains have mildew all over them and there are fruit flies filling each shower. It appeared the janitor cleaned the hallway in between the pool and locker rooms today and decided to leave all the filth at the entrance to the men's locker room. I wipe off the mats before and after I use them and typically am left with a wipe covered in dirt (before). I have worked out at LA Fitness in Troy, Birmingham, Royal Oak, Dearborn, Flat Rock, and Indianapolis and this gym is far and away the dirtiest. If not for the location right next to work, I would never use it. Looks like it is time for me to take the hit and work out at the one close to home and deal with the extra half hour of traffic it allots me. 7 months ago "I have been using LA Fitness facilities around SE Michigan for a little over a year. I was mainly using the Signature clubs in Royal Oak and Birmingham until I started working in Livonia simultaneously to 96 being closed. Due to traffic I typically work out every morning around 6 to beat the rush. I expected a drop off from the signature clubs, I was not expecting such a drop off in cleanliness. Every morning I wipe the mats before I use them and every morning I wipe off a considerate amount of dirt. It disgusts me that I use the same section of the mat every morning and I am able to wipe off that much dirt. Naturally, I clean the mat when I am done as well, to wipe off all my sweat. My biggest complaint is that, sometimes I am using the mat after I witness the cleaning lady clean it with her mop; I still manage to wipe off just as much dirt though. Part of it is due to the fact that she uses a mop, part of it is because she never changes the bucket of dirty water she is using, ask anyone in the gym they will tell you. This is one of the dirtiest gyms if not the dirtiest gym I have ever worked out at, and they would improve dramatically if they hired more help in the cleaning, because it's always the one lady every morning with the same old routine. I wouldn't normally write a review, since I would likely wipe everything I use anyway, but this morning this cleaning lady was actually cleaning the sidewalk outside of the gym, instead of the gym itself! If somehow the workers there ever think they have extra time to clean something other then the gym floor, it would be nice if they would clean out the filthy lockers once in a while. They won't let you keep your locks on overnight, like most gyms, but it would be nice to put your clothes in the locker one day and not have to wipe the dust and dirt out so your clothes remain clean. Other than that, there is not much of a fallout from the other clubs, besides the. expected, which is the fact that they do not offer towels. Which you know when you sign up. Hope this review helps to make this gym a cleaner place, since I know complaining to the people that work there has not helped at all".
Was very nice when we started 5 years ago. My problem is the OLD MEN who think they own the gym. They harass women. They kick people off the equipement. I am sorry your more than capable to walk upstairs I have seen them. Instead the gym gives into them and puts handicapped stickers on the downstairs equipment. Its pretty sad when they kick people off of them I'm handicapped get off I have priority. Really we all pay for the use. I wont use the locker room unless I am desperate, I keep all of my stuff with me. I inquired about wi-fi 3 times in the past 2 years and keep getting told they are working on it. Right. Give me a break Planet Fitness offers it and those people only pay 10 a month. The hot tub always looks dirty to me I can't believe people even go in it. I would never. I have seen some of the people who do go in it. Equipment seems to always be broken. I told a manager about a fan being broke on a treadmill 6 months ago its still not working. We pay enough money for our membership stuff should be fixed when you tell them in a timely manner
This place is falling a part. all Cardio equipment's need to be updated. most of the heart monitors on the Elliptical machines don't work, the pulleys on the elliptical squeaks as if its about to break. the Treadmills skips and this could be very dangerous. the carpet is also wearing off, and certain places are walking hazard. locker rooms are very stinky and faucets leaks most of the time. the Sauna room light is out, and it been like that for months. this place is in intimidate need for remodeling.
Staff is pretty sad. Way too crowded. Strange riff-raff...I mean clientele! GET THE NEW CLUB BUILT IN PLYMOUTH BY THE OLD BALLYS...and they will come! That was a planned site anyway. What happened???
i love this gym, my only problem is inconsiderate members that should bring thier mothers with them to clean up after them. dirty people dont clean up after themselfs. they leave a mess for others, like trash, dirty socks, underwear, i mean who leaves dirty underweare behind?
