LA Fitness

Completely rude. I would NOT work out there if it was free. Staff is worse than the DMW! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

LA fitness is a horrible company. Stay away. I joined because it was a relatively cheap place with a pool and swimming is my go-​to mode of exercise.
I was happy with the membership for about 6 months, but then I moved to a place that was nowhere near an LA fitness. «No problem“I thought, «I’ll just call them up and cancel.» No dice, I had to go in person & cancel. So I did that & after some «sorry to see you go» & «won’t you please reconsider» spiels they canceled my membership.
However my bank account was still being debited. I called them up and the manager on duty said his records show no such activity. I had to go back in person to show them aa copy of my bank statement, & confirmation email from canceling, at which point the manager assured me he would refund me the money and make sure I wasn’t being charged.
This still hasn’t happened, it’s been 9 months since I canceled. Steer clear.

It’s a younger crowd due to Kennesaw State being right next door. The staff is very friendly. Gym is very clean. And for the ladies there is definitely a lot of EYE CANDY. I think I ran an extra mile on the treadmill bc of the hottie next to me. Hehe. :)

After canceling my membership once and going back to try again I am very disappointed. When I go to workout the last thing I want is someone trying to sell me something. It happens at least once a week when I go there. There is one trainer that has tried to «let him work me out» after explaining no thanks he kept insisting. For what they charge for a personal training. no way. Honestly one would be better off training with a friend because their personal trainers don’t seem to be top notch (no offense to them.) I just don’t think they are trained enough to be charging so much. I’m just over the sales pitch and they fact that it is so busy!

Terrible customer service. I was visiting a friend in GA from CA as I was considering to move there in the next year. My friend got me a guest pass; however, one of their employees, Zach, refused to take the pass since I did not have GA license. According to him, I should have not had the priviledge to use the guest pass since I did not live in GA at the moment. I was not sure if he knew that LA fitness is also in CA (it is everywhere) and I could have signed up for the membership here in GA. His lack of knowledge about his company lead me to an unpleasant experience. Zack was not only inexperienced, but he also handled this in an unprofessional manner (he did not even ask if I was interested in joining them, and simply refused to let me use the guest pass).

Decent selection of work out equipment. They do have those annoying TVs you have to tune to a radio station that never works. Gym is usually packed.

Perspective: Fitness Club
This LA Fitness similar to many others nearby; weight machines, free weights, racquetball courts, swimming pool, gym, sauna, treadmills, elliptical machines
There are so many types of weight machines here. I did notice a daycare areas, etc.
They have classes — I lasted about 15 minutes doing yoga for first time. They have cycle and several others.
It’s an open layout.
I bought a few memberships. Just né careful that you don’t sign up for a commitment you can’t afford.

So I was running and suddenly had blood dripping from my hand on the treadmill I look and theres a pieces of metal lifted from the handlebar that I hit somehow while jogging. The manager on duty was a young boy who freaked out and had no idea what to do but asked if I needed EMS to which I refused. The girl at the front was the best, she did the best she could with the limited first aid kit they had. When i called the next day to speak with the facility manager he had no idea of the incident then told me that the equipment is checked daily and blamed the nuisance gym guests because there is no way the metal bar was lifted earlier in the day. (Anyone know of someone walking around with a crowbar, wrench, or any other object lifting metal at the gym for fun, contact me immediately) Sarcasm aside he called me back to inform me that it was now in corporate’s hands and that it must be dealt with them.
Corporate has an address listed that is FALSE. It is a general facility. I was told they processed my ‘claim’ however, when I called it was as if it was never reported and I never heard from them again despite several calls to their 800#. Thanks for the scar on my finger LA FITNESS.
Aside from that yes, they have a nice pool, the largest facility in Kennesaw, but their business practices need to be re-​examined. They also have a few overweight fitness instructions and they WILL call you multiple times in one hour if your card expires even if it is not yet to be charged for another 2wks. WIsh there was something better in town or at least better attention to accidents like mine. Don’t even know where to go from there.

Arrogant conceited employees that are more interested in there mirror reflections than helping you. The gym looks like a pit and the locker room smells like an arm pit. The machines are old and as equipment walks out the door they don’t replace it. I’ve watched more than one personal trainer lead clients through routines that could cripple them. I sincerely hope new management takes over that cares for the place. There is a huge clientele in the area that deserves better.

I used to go the one at Sandy Plains Road and 92, but since I moved I have been going to this one. I have to say that I don’t really like this gym and miss the Sandy Plains one.
The Wade Green LA Fitness is newer looking on the inside and has newer machines, but I like the machines at the Sandy Plains/​92 location better.
The Wade Green location is also a lot more crowded. I find myself only enjoying the Wade Green location if I go early in the mornings or right before closing on the weekends; any time during the week or mid day on the weekends it is just too crowded. The Sandy Plains location was pleasant enough even during their peak hours. If the Wade Green LA Fitness isn’t as crowded as most others then all I can say is sign up at a different gym. Also, the people who work out at the Wade Green location are a lot worse about not re-​racking the weights than the Sandy Plains/​92 patrons are.
I will say that I have never felt pressured by the sales team at the Wade Green location to buy anything, so that is one plus. There also doesn’t seem to be as high of a turnover rate here among staff when compared to the Sandy Plains/​92 location.

Terrible customer service, high prices, small pool, no personal TVs for cardio equipment. Only interested in making a sale and no interest in the customer. My wife and I were interested in joining a gym and a friend was a member at LA fitness. LA fitness told her if she she could give a 3 week pass to someone by giving them their phone number. After asking our permission she did just that. LA fitness called us, set up a meeting with the wife to see the gym. The person she was suppose ot meet with was not there and the person she did meet with was very rude. They were very high pressure for her to join the gym even after her telling them she needed to talk to me first and never gave us the pass to try out the gym. We set up another appointment to meet with the «right person» so I could be there. The right person still was not there, they still only tried to sell us a membership and still would not give us the pass promised to try out the gym. A few weeks later we got an email, thinking finally they decided to give us the pass, (not that we would have used it a that point) but no, it was an advertisement of their membership prices.
Another friend of mine was pressured into signing up for a personal trainer with the promise that it was a 2 week free trial, if she did not like it she could back out. She trusted them and did not read the contract carefully and now she is contractually in a personal trainer program for the grand total on $ 1200 on top of the membership fee. She has called, talked to people in person, pleaded and begged to be let out of the contract and that she did not realize what she was signing up for at the time. The best offer they have provided is she can back out for half the cost. $ 600 for something she never wanted in the first place. I hate this place and hope they go out of business soon! I can’t stand dishonest people who try to take advantage of unsuspecting people.

One of my Fav gyms. I love the cleanliness and the upstairs cardio area. I can take my mp3 and tune into sportscenter and watch TV for an hour as I do my cardio. Afterwards, I head next door to Blend it Up Nutrition and have a Herbal Life Shake with Lee. Ive lost 23 pounds in 3 months and am getting ready to hit the weights. Trainers are very friendly and not intimidating at all.

Location is ok. Some of the treadmills are so-​so and will jerk when your running which is annoying. One actually sliced my wife’s hand severely because of poor maintenance — the manager hid and ignored our attempts to talk to them about this issue (corporate is kinda like the CIA & cannot be located).
If you are looking for fitness classes packed wall to wall and taught by slightly overweight instructors then the schedule may appeal to you for the workout room.
Also if you need to make a payment you will receive nearly 20 calls per hour from numbers all over the US until you submit to the harassment and make them your #1 priority.
I do like the pool.
I stopped working out here as the management acts like they are doing you a favor and your are annoying them. That is if you can get them to talk to you without them taking calls or just blowing you off. I think this location just considers everyone an annoying college student or something as it is just up from KSU so everyone is treated as such. I understand it is probably a thankless job that pays poorly but it is not the customer’s choice to work there.

go here that’s all i’m going to say

If you don’t think Lafitness personal training is a big scam Google it you will see they have ripp people off coast to coast. Beware of signing a contract with LA Fitness for personal training, you sign a computer box that you can not see, you have only seven days to cancell which they do not tell you .My girl friend sign up for three months and they had her down for a year. They told her to bad, if she wanted out she would have to pay $ 1000. She closed her account to keep them from stealing any more money, and canciled her membership .
And if you bank card expries they will call you incessanly threating you with late fees, they called 20 times in three days, It is so hard for me to believe that they would let two five year members walk away because they wanted to ripp one off for personal training.

Welcome to the ghetto of the LAs. Machines SMELl and multiple machines broken for weeks. Been going down hill since we joined.

LA Fitness is like the McDonald’s of gyms. OK since that’s not the best metaphor for a gym, let me break it down for you.
Pros:
–Widely available: There will be one within a 7 mile-​radius anywhere you are in the metro-​Atlanta area. Really, really awesome for someone like me who works 2 jobs and floats around different places in/​around the city.
–Cheap: I pay $ 29.99/mo. Personal training sessions are affordable too. I think they are having a holiday special for less than $ 25/​hour.
–Good crowd: I’ve been to at least 5 different LA Fitness locations, and I’d say this one is the least crowded. The crowd is civilized and not too disruptive.
Cons:
–Minimalist: They have all the standard equipments, plus a small dry sauna, a pool, racquetball courts, and a whirlpool. But it’s clear they didn’t spend a penny beyond that.
–Not super well-​maintained: LA Fitnesses tend to be older, so the equipments aren’t sparkling too begin with. Then a lot of people don’t wash the equipments. One time I had to circle the gym to find a spray. I see at least one non-​functional machine every time I go in.
–Classes: I love yoga, so I’d like to see it offered more… cycling seems really popular and is offered frequently.
Overall, it does its job, and I’m happy it’s everywhere. But it really is minimalist, especially if you’ve been spoiled at Lifetime or a big private university gym.

This is a great gym which I enjoy working out at. For the most part, it has all of the equipment and amenities that one could ask for. With KSU relatively close by, you get a good mixture in the crowd — some older, some younger, etc. The energy level is high, and the spin classes are pretty good. Lastly, if you are a parent and need to get in a quick workout but don’t have a babysitter, the gym has a pretty nice «Kid’s Klub» to accommodate those needs! Overall, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of services offered, and I would recommend that you give this place a try!

This is the gym I joined when I moved to the area. I really do like this LA Fitness — it might not be the newest one out there, but it is very spacious, and the people (and staffers) are always friendly /​helpful! I love how the cardio equipment is in its own area on the second floor. I do wish that they had a few more amenities (ie. steam room, cold plunge, towels, and bathing suit dryer), but the value and quality for the monthly membership fees are well worth it!

Ive been to a few gyms in my time and in my opinion this is a really nice relaxing gym. Definitely not your meat head no recondition no heat gym. I was worried before coming here that it would always be ridiculously packed but i haven’t had to wait on any equipment even at the peak hours of operation. The Last few gyms i have been to have not had a sauna which is important to me and this one does. All of the equipment actually works unlike most gyms. I usually come to the gym later in the day and at those times i always see workers cleaning and fixing whatever equipment is needing attention. They have a pool area and it seems nice. The showers and locker rooms are huge. Great Cardio area and weight selection is great. I am 5’6 so basketball is not my strong point but you know what i like to have the option of being able to play cause they have a full size basketball court. The girlfriend and i are excited about getting into racquetball cause they have at least 5 rooms for it. So overall i dont have any real complaints about this gym. (great customer service too) Moses is doing a great job making sure everyone of his employees is always on top of everything.
