LA Fitness
Reviews
Not too crowded, and great trainers. BUT They have equipment down for repair constantly, more than any of the other 4 local LA Fitness branches i go to, for example, there's one crunch bench that's been out of service for more than two months, and like I said, I go twice or more a week to the Covington branch. Other than that, pretty clean, great staff, quality clientele who are there to get some work done. 3 stars. Would be 5 stars if the equipment were up more often.
I'm new to LA and i have worked out at many different gyms around the area. LA has awesome equipment and if anything breaks they are speedy to get it fixed. its usually very clean in the club and in the locker rooms. i have one complaint about this club, my girlfriend goes there every morning on a daily basis, she does her workout and hits the sauna for a while then goes home. the only problem she constantly runs into is getting the sauna turned on... she has asked for them to turn it on when they open (as they should!! since they are opening) but she has to turn it on herself every day because they don't think turning the sauna on in the morning is important! i will be contacting the manager regarding this, if that doesn't change anything i will continue to elevate until we get what we pay for! we don't pay 60$ a month to do their job!
The staff is absolutely awful. My friend went up to the front desk to tell them about a car in the parking lot who had left their lights on. They basically laughed in his face and were completely immature about it. If you have the option, GO somewhere else to workout.
The training staff are arrogant and dishonest. Monitor the amount deducted from your EFT account. I have cancelled one card due to over billing.
3 experiences here--none great. First I've been a member since it opened--5 or 6 years. I left my bag once in the locker room. I usually work out 2 or 3 times a week. i couldn't find my bag when I wanted to go work out so I stopped in to LA Fitness Covington see if I left it there. One of the staff said-- "yep, it has been sitting on the bench in the locker for 3 days." I had my LA Fitness card tethered to my gym bag. All one had to do is at the end of the day when it was obviously left, scan the card to get my name and phone number and call me. No one even bother. Next-- a dropped my car keys in the locker room and didn't notice they were missing until after I worked out. I drove there so I knew the keys were somewhere in the building. I asked the front desk if someone dropped off some car keys and a woman gave me a blank look and said "nope." That was it. I explained someone likely gave them to a staff member and could you ask. Nope. I got a ride home and an hour later--some one calls me from LA Fitness and says my keys are here. I knew they were! I drove there! Last straw--some thief used a bolt cutter to cut my lock off the locker and stole my wallet--just like the guy said in the other review. Not one staff cared or even acted like this was out of the ordinary. These guys are totally unprofessional and apathetic. The thief (thieves) cut my lock off and then put a different lock on my locker so I couldn't even get to my clothes. I had to walk out of the locker room into the lobby in a wet bathing suit and find a staff member to bolt cut that lock off so I can get dressed. The staff member cut the lock and walked away without saying a word. Like he didn't give a damn which he probably didn't.
