LA Fitness

So this is probably one of the better LA Fitness gyms in the city of Detroit. when I’m in town on business i actually stay nearby so i can come here because its the best one in Detroitland.
Facility — nice area, easy to access, though parking is a little weird. Its not the larger one with an indoor track but its decent in size. They have all of the normal LA amenities (free weight area, cardio up top, basketball court, racquetball courts, spinning room, aerobic room with boxing bags) The equipment is clean and up kept.
Staff — I haven’t really spent much time talking with the staff so i don’t know much about them and how nice/​good they are
Gear — the equipment here is about the same as all the rest of LA gyms but i have noticed they are well kept here.
Members — my rating is not effected by the businesses members since they have no control over that but its a decent mix here.
All in all its a decent gym but definitely a great LA Fitness (there are so many bad ones, this one is above the rest)

I am new to LA Fitness, and so far, I’ve only visited Roseville. I noticed immediately that the bathrooms do not have toilet seat covers. I found that to be incredible they wouldn’t. I called the corporate office, that said there is purely all over the gym, when I went the next day, I realized he obviously didn’t know what he was talking about, but it’s confirmed, they don’t. I’m sure it’s not me, but don’t most people sweat with a good workout? Then go use the toilet? How unsanitary is that… but I guess 29.00 per month for each person that joins, they can’t afford seat covers… NASTY… gonna check out a couple other locations to see if they care about a more sanitary facility… personally, I’d like to see Lysol spray or wet wipes all over they gym…

Maybe my favorite LA location. Plenty of machines that are spread out via a large floor plan, they have a small training area for newbies and they even have a basketball/​volleyball court (which is pretty hard to get in on if you don’t know the right people).
The parking lot is a real B, though — especially when trying to find a spot after 5 p.m. on a weekday. But the vibe is good here… everyone is there to work out and focus on themselves, as gyms should be. You’ll find people of all shapes and sizes here. The TV’s on the treadmills are a nice touch, as well as the amount of weight benches.

Such a great place to come too. I’ve been a member of most gyms and mainly the larger gyms. Normally with the large gym you lose the family close feel, but here. It’s a great place to workout. Everything is clean and people are always willing to help you out. The front desk is amazing. The locker rooms are clean and you can get through weigh have to touch any one. If you’re looking to join a gym! This should be your choice

I truly love coming here to work out… I like the vibe, the amount of machines has never been an issue and the staff has never been anything but friendly to me. The only complaint I have is that there are no vending machines set up nor a juice bar Which there is space for but just hasn’t been leased out yet. Something that I know will probably come with time but I feel like it’s been a few months now and this place is in need of something where I can get a beverage. Maybe a little protein shake… Anything!
Also I wish I could play basketball and not feel like I the damn elephant in the room because I am literally the only girl that wants to play. But sheesh!
This ha to be my regular for health reasons but this really is one of my favorite places to go. I Would describe it as a blue collar lifetime. Lol. I can say that because I’ve been a member at both.

Although we just joined, so far this place is pretty decent. The layout is pretty typical to all of their other locations and I like how machines are spaced out from each other so you are not on top of the people around you.
All the equipment is brand new which would be expected of a newly built facility and up to this point has been maintained well. I know that is the grief with other facilities, that the machines get abused and never kept up by the staff so I hope this doesn’t hold true to this facility.
Every interaction with the staff thus far has been nothing, but cordial, but they also been limited too. My wife has taken a few classes since joining and really enjoyed the Body Works Plus Abs class taught by Dawn on Monday nights. She got a really good workout and the instructor was nice and approachable and took the time to show people exactly what to do so no one felt left out or behind.
She also took a Zumba class on Wednesday night with Diane and while she was nice, it wasn’t as good of a workout as she had anticipated. Mainly because the instructor kept forgetting the steps herself which caused others in the class to get messed up.
We are still new just like this location so only time will tell if things stay as positive in the future. My only fear is overly pushy staff members trying to force Personal Trainers down your throat like it is going out of style. That was our number one gripe with the Livonia location when we lived out that way. It was so bad it actually drove us to quit and go elsewhere.
