LA Fitness

Ive been with this gym for almost 4 years. I usually go in the morning and the morning staff is so nice and friendly. Unfortunately I dont know everyone elses names but Herman for example he says hello and good morning to everyone he sees and always has a little conversation This evening though that was not the case.
I Normally take evening spin classes closer to my job. Today I got out early so I figure go to my regular location. The instructor for this evening was over 15 minutes late. Waiting on her arrival I decided to put my headphones in and start my own workout. Already having prior engagements for adter the class I dont have time to sit around and waste time waiting on her. Left my headphones in when she finally decided to show up and 10 minutes into her arrival she has the nerve to tell me I cant stay there unless i’m Listening to her.
Don’t know if its just me but I didnt see it to be such an issue to listen to music in my headphones minding my own buisness. Neadless to say I will not be attending anymore Tuesday evening spin classes

Been a gym guy for 20 years. Went on a 3 day pass. Staff is incredibly indifferent. All the equipment is very good. Nice variety fully functioning. If you just want to work out and go, this place is serviceable. That said, it is hot inside, no AC, just fans 30 ft up that do nothing. No towel service, so no one wipes down equipment before or after sweating all over it. I was there for 3 hours and saw no one cleaning. Bathrooms and showers are lacking. Garbage everywhere, waste cans overflowing, carpeting ripped. Tough parking in a BJ’s lot. They have reduced their monthly price and eliminated the initiation fee, so if it’s convenient for you, not bad. Avoid long contracts and the up-​sell (i.e. training.) and you’ll be ok. In this price range NYSC is a little better, especially in Hicksville.

So, I came to this LA Fitness on a guest pass from a friend and had a decent workout. It was pretty crowded and I had to wait to use some of the equipment, but thats expected at a large chain gym.
As other reviews have pointed out, its dirty.
The reason I’m giving this review is because of the manager, whose name I never cared to remember. I had wanted to join this gym, but when I walked in with my guest pass the manager walks up to me (mind you this is the first time I’ve been there and the first person I’ve spoken to) and says in an aggressive and definitive tone, «You’ve been here before.» I hadn’t, so I told him“No.” He insists, «Yes, you have.» Again, I tell him «No, I haven’t.» He responds, «Are you sure?» At this point I’m thinking «Is this guy an idiot, or what?» His job is to sell memberships and during the first interaction he has with a prospective member he implicitly calls me a liar.
The next conversation he has with me is about a potential membership. I tell him its a bit expensive compared to some other options, so I’m not sure. I wasn’t going to sign up regardless, but I enjoyed spinning his wheels for being such a douche. During the course of our conversation he tries to tell me that its worth signing up there because other gyms make it a pain in the ass to cancel a membership. Now I’m thinking Jeez this guy really is an idiot.
The whole experience with the guy was insulting. First he calls me a liar, then he quite obviously takes me to be a stupid liar.
What a shame, cause they do have nice free weight equipment. I’ll be joining another gym.

This is a horrible company do not sign any contracts with them. They are a bunch of crooks. Also the gym is always so dirty and the bathrooms are disgusting.

I’m here to make my two star review a one star review. Weights are never where they should be, and you would think that with no weights in the dumbbell racks, they would clean off some of the years worth of dust.

Nice staff but not a serious gym. Many young kids standing around and ample naked old people that seem to be always standing in front of your locker. Fun. I only lasted here 2 months and was happy there are many other options. Always parking which was nice though.

Reading all these reviews, I thought this place would be just filthy and whatnot. But honestly it’s not what I thought it would be.
I received a complimentary pass from my job and I decided to check it out. Hey, doesn’t hurt. The service was a bit ridiculous. When I showed the flyer that I had to the manager, he demanded where I received this. I told him through my job and he questioned my job since he «never heard of it». I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t know a lot of companies since there’s so many in Long Island. Great welcoming by the way. The end of the day I got my complimentary pass.
Even though the manager was something else, I thought maybe he would show us the gym, nope, stood right next to the entrance and just pointed what is what.
So I wanted to see where is all the dirty filth that I’m reading. I haven’t seen much so far. The equipments aren’t bad at all and the locker rooms are okay. Are they immaculate? No, but it’s not bad.
I did see some equipment with their wear and tear, but I’ve seen a lot worse. I do not see any rust on the free weights or in any equipment. I can understand people being upset since LA fitness is pretty pricey and they expect more which I cannot blame them.

Horrific, no one cleans up their weights. And he men’s locker room is gross. I left after 2 weeks.

This place is the most disgusting gym I have been to. It’s dirty and it’s always runs out of paper towels and there is garbage all over. The weights are never in the right place and are always missing. The gym smells horrible from the moment you walk in. I have called corporate about 5 times and nothing gets done. Worst corporation and gym ever. The only reason I go is because it is walking distance from my house. DO NOT SIGN UP HERE

I just resigned with LA fitness after leaving NYSC because it was too far.
It feels like I’ve made a huge mistake.
The gym is extremely dirty, the machines were all taken up, the water fountain didn’t work and worst of all– NO TOWEL SERVICE.
The staff charged me $ 5 for a towel.
The only upside is the manager Bill, who is super friendly and awesome

I’ve read a lot of the reviews, and while this gym isn’t squeaky clean, it’s not as bad as many reviews are saying.
Big problem is definitely lack of a proper janitorial staff. That being said, I wouldn’t say this place is a disgusting filth hole. Needs work? Yes, but i’ve seen worse. My biggest gripe would be the locker room floor. Many times after coming from the pool or spa, i get sand on my feet… sand? Where is that coming from?
There is a female staff member who works on the weekends who is a bit obnoxious sometimes. I have a membership with 2 guest privileges. I am there every weekend, and usually bring my 2 sons. Every time I walk in with them, she always either stops us and asks my boys for their membership card, or asks if I have guest privileges. You would think that after seeing me come in for the past 7 months, she’d remember. I’ve seen her greet other members with recognition, so I don’t buy that she doesn’t remember. Even if she doesn’t, be a bit nicer about it, she comes across as very snotty. Lighten up lady.
I have also never seen them pushing products. I’ve seen them give free samples of stuff from the juice bar. That’s all. Been coming to this gym for 7 months and have never been harassed with a sales pitch. Not once.
Only other complaint I have is nothing that the staff can do anything about, and that is members who occupy machines and either stand there and talk and don’t use the machine, but go to use it and they will say they are using it, or spend a ridiculous amount of time in between sets texting.
All in all, the gym does need some improvements, but I am satisfied with it. I am tempted to try other locations, but this one is literally 2 minutes from home.

This gym has so much potential to be the best but its lacking in the service department. When you arrive early on a Saturday the staff is nowhere to be found except the cleaner, and if there happens to be any staff at the counter he’s eating. which doesn’t look very professional! The restrooms and the locker rooms garbage are always overflowing. there doesn’t seem to be a leader, everyone seems to be on there own program. If this place doesn’t shape up it will be another Ballys.

I agree with most reviews that this location is dirty. Not sure why since I always see cleaning people there. Part of the problem is the members are pigs that expect people to pick up after them. But still the cleaning people are pretty lax and seem to spend a lot of time chatting and hiding out.
Another issue is the front desk, many times no one is there to assist with check-​in and the scanner can be quirky, someone should be there!

This place really let me down!
All you wanna do is go in and work out, the moment you walk through the door they are product pushing! Selling and the last thing you want Ina morning is to be given a sales pitch!
The place is filthy, unorganized and nothing is ever where it should be!
Avoid this place

This location is filthy. It is also small and it feels like you are in a humid sweat box when it’s crowded. The music is always way too loud. Crank your headphones up and it is still cutting through. Stationary bikes are all missing the pedal straps. They have been asked to order replacements by several members that I know of but they never actually do it.

Gym is in descent condition.
Sales rep. will lie to you through their teeth. Verify anything they might of promised you in the beginning.
Here’s how they pitched it to me, $ 520 1^st-​yr & 299 for life thereafter. They swore it would never go up, and I was very wary about it. I was shown someone else’s contract. It’s vaguely written and contract DOESN’T USE THE WORDS FOR LIFE“
I created online access, went into my billing and walla. It turns out, I signed up for 520−1^st year, 299−2^nd year & 599 third year renewal. Never agree to pay initiation fee, as that’s their commission. They make plenty as personal trainers.

This gym is not the best LA Fitness around. Most days, I will take a trip to the Garden City location instead. The layout is very tight and it is way too busy (ALL THE TIME). It has been cleaner these days but still is very poorly managed, overall.
The Spin classes taught by Vinny and Russel are AMAZING classes, however… You might have to take somebody out in order to get a bike. The entire system is flawed. You put your name on a list in order to get a bike and you still might have to argue with people to sit down.
There are a lot of bikes in the Spin room that are broken and do not work. The room itself is very cool with the leveled seating but other than that, this gym is OKAY.

I just don’t get it. I’ve been coming here since this gym has opened and for the brand it has, I would expect it to hold some sort of weight as far as how the gym is kept and maintained.
How many times do I have to come in the morning when they open to see the dumbbells not racked in their correct spots and some crazy roided out guy whose there to lift try to organize them. The weights are just all over the place. It’s dirty and does not give you a good feeling for the money you pay. What gets me even more is how many times I have mentioned to staff about this treadmill or that treadmill not working properly. Every time I come to run on the treadmills I have to switch machines 2 – 3 times before I find one that the belt won’t skip on me. I just don’t get how the staff ignores the looks and functionality of the gym that pays them. Compare this location to the one in westbury and you would think that the levittown branch is some cheap knock off that somehow is getting away with putting the name on it’s building. Save you’re time, money, and health and try another gym or go to the one that makes you feel like you get what you pay for like the westbury location. Oh and the staff is just terrible, they always seem like they don’t want to be bothered by anything and would rather just run up and hug other employees or talk to their friends all day than actually do work. This gym is just disgraceful.
Corporate needs to kick the levittown locations ass. Time to clear house.

Even walking through the door after you are a member is tough, the staff is hard selling their «personal training» program
They only have one person on staff for cleaning, the repairs are actually contracted out so they only get fixed on a schedule rather then when they are broken
And the whirlpool is the worst I have seen, it looks like they found the very worst quality they could find with it being down far too often, so filthy most of the time you wouldn’t even think of going in, most home units have jets with more power
No scale anywhere to be found unless you speak to a sales person who will try to sell you a personal training program
The machinery is not bad and I can usually find a station to work out whatever body part I am working out that day, though the free weight area is tight
One of the few highlights, the swimming pool seems well maintained and clean

This place has turned into a joke. My mother and I wanted to work out next to each other but there would literally be 5 elliptical in a row that weren’t working. Some televisions don’t work, the sanitizing fluid doesn’t even turn into a foam like how the other LA Fitness location does, and the bathroom is filthy. The only good thing about this place is the sign in the bathroom stalls that says «If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe your seat.» That’s about it. Other than that, join somewhere else.
Horrible horrible horrible!
