UNPROFESSIONALISM AND INAPPROPRIATE PERSONAL TRAINER

I recently asked a friend of mine to refer me to a personal trainer. They mentioned DERILL ROGERS (who works in the Bayonne, NJ location at 40 Goldsborough Drive) would be great, but since I was hesitant I asked my friend if I could watch their session from a distance. So, that is exactly what I did. I was actually disgusted by his terrible attitude and behavior. THERE SEEMEED TO BE A LOT OF INAPPROPRIATE TOUCHING!!!!!!! I really couldn't believe my eyes. Do yourself a favor and stay away from him and this location!!!!! I AM SOOOOOO DISGUSTED THIS ESTABLISHMENT HAS SOMEONE LIKE HIM WORKING HERE WITH HIS UNPROFESSIONALISM AND MISCONDUCT!!!!!!!

Edison, NJ Club has equipment never repaired

Location in Edison NJ has Treadmills and Weight machines that have been out of order for weeks and months in some cases. Despite asking management and calling Corporate Customer Service line, they have not been repaired and show no sense of urgency to get this done. Club is overcrowded so this is an issue

1900 N.Scdl.rd.,Scdl.,AZ

Wanted to give long overdue & well-earned kudos to Leticia, manager. I should mention I am a geezer, inherent in which is technological ineptness.
I went through months of no access to my phone or watch through Apple’s unmitigated incompetence, and therefore lost my check in ID on Phone and watch.
Laticia was like an angel! She did all she could to make my sign in effortless and expeditious, I’m sure over and above her job description!. This went on for months!
I was shocked when I found out Leticia was a manager, because I expected the manager to be hiding in the back, not up front & hands-on & even greets clients coming and going.
She is competent, professional, & a sweetheart to deal with !
Thank you Leticia !

Staff member J.R Moise

Staff member J.R. Moise made our experience SUPER!!! He offered excellent customer service in a friendly, kind and compassionate manner. We were visiting from Ocala where we are regular gym people which he appreciated with no sales pressure and kind enough to offer us a one week pass if our stay was extended. His interaction with customers was very professional and motivational - he deserves solid recognition!

LA fitness in Monroville

LA fitness in Monroville , PA
Every year they don’t have any AC the aerobics rooms are humid- can’t breathe when you complain to manager they will say they will resolve nothing ever gets done ✔️ there’s a gentleman name Mike he is rude just say nothing the can do
The restrooms are dirty, the aerobics classes floor is filthy , no sanitary wipes
We have to clean the gym our self’s.
Today I filed a complaint to Headquarters
With no resolution, they are good to take your monthly payment, maintenance fee
Don’t go to this gym. It’s disgusting 🤢
They lie and management hides , when we complain.

Probably the Nastiest Gym

This is the nastiest Gym! I’ve called LAFitness Headquarters and sent an email with pictures of how nasty the bathrooms are …all the lockers broken into …and how old, torn and scratched up the furniture and equipment is …and nothing has been done. There are also no cameras for their customers’ safety. Seems they are only interested in taking people’s money and will not fix, clean or replace anything.

when you join LA Fitness BEWARE OF PERSONAL TRAINING

when you join LA Fitness, they will push you to take personal trainer. but beware, by the push of the button they will enroll you for personal trainer and they tell you that you can cancel anytime you want. the catch is, if you want to cancel the personal training you need to send a letter to their PO BOX number. by the time you realize, they will charge you for another month and then you know they did not receive the letter. THIS IS A SCAM .. you have to go to the facility to talk to them and most of the time the manager will not be there, and the employee will take your information and phone number saying that the manager will call. you will never get call from the manager. after several trips to the facility they will finally cancel.

I'm leaving LA Fitness

I'm leaving LA Fitness. The location nearest me is the junction location in West Seattle. For the past several months they have had a major problem with the music system, and they do not seem able or willing to fix it. The problem: the music is constantly tuned to two (2) sources, playing simultaneously, each at equal volume. Imagine sitting between two speakers, each playing completely different, but equally aggressive music. That is my experience at LA Fitness. I have talked to the manager about it several times. He's aware of the problem, and apparently many people have complained about this. But he says they can't turn it off, as the company that runs LA Fitness insists on music. But the sound is INSANE. I cannot bear to be in the room with this psychotic blend of music going: it feels like my brain is literally being torn in half. I don't have headphones or earbuds, nor should I be required to wear them in order to be able to have a good workout. After months of complaining and months of 'We're looking into it' I'm out.

As long as I'm ripping them a new one I'll add this. When my husband and I joined several years ago, the sales person promised us the moon. They said we could go to *any* LA Fitness, and that we would have unlimited guest passes. Neither of these turned out to be true - we can only go to the LA Fitness locations in Washington State. We didn't find this out until we tried to access other locations when we were on vacation. When my husband brought this to the attention of the manager at the time, his response was 'Well he was wrong and he doesn't work here any more.' That gave us major pause, but figured the club was decent enough, and we could pay to go to clubs outside of Washington state when necessary. But now that this location is now impossible for me to work out in, I'm out. We're both out.

Just Bad...

Convinced they hire the meanest managers you could possibly find. If the manager is mean and has an attitude you can just imagine their employees... everyday you go in they don't care about you and bi-weekly we get a message on the app to "rate our club".. the way their demeaner changes and EVERYTIME they beg for a good review because it gives them a bonus (even though some of the machines are broken, bathrooms are not clean, and the attitude..) and when you do it they're looking at your phone to see what you put. Twice now they took my phone and did the review for me because I keep saying "I don't see it." This is the Gaithersburg LA fitness on clopper rd.
Only reason I am at this gym is because I moved and this is the closest to my house. If you are in the Germantown MD area I highly recommend Anytime Fitness on leman farm rd. the owner is always there, ALWAYS cleaning and overall just a positive environment. I plan on going back to anytime at the end of the year

Filthy Gym

We go to the gym located in Huntingdon Valley, PA. It has to be the most unsanitary gym in the country. They have been understaffed for years, even prior to COVID. If you see anybody cleaning, it's a miracle. Even after they clean, it's still filthy. The management could care less. No matter how many times you speak with them, nothing happens. Total lip service. The locker rooms are pathetic. Some of the lockers are loaded with garbage for months. They never get cleaned. The floors of the gym and locker rooms are always disgusting. I wish the PA Dept of Health would pay them a visit!

I went to the Warden and Eglington…

I went to the Warden and Eglington location. Before covid the staff were fun and friendly. Other than the girls at the desk the assistant manager or who ever she is, is a piece of sh.. She is rude. I asked her why the pool is always down and other clubs don't have problems. She wouldn't look at me at said well, this isn't other places. I quit. The power wash the showers while you're swimming which is so annoying. I think they just hire anyone. Apparently she's the assistant manager. She's the black employee there. I guess they get desperate on who they hire. No customer service skills what so ever. I miss the old staff 😪 date of incident is not accurate. Head office are useless. One guy at the head office made fun of me when I told him what happened. He wouldn't put me through to a manager either

LA Fitness personnel trainner contract…

LA Fitness personnel trainner contract is a scam, since I started in the first few weeks they have changed five different trainers and on top of that those trainers work not show up on time so r they would leave early, and some days they didn’t show up and every time they say they would fix it and they never did so I ask to cancel my contract and the person that works in La sent an email but they kept taking money from my credit card called corporate and spoke to David song and he said that he refused to cancel the contract, I threatened to go to court but they seemed not worried
Now not only I am going to take them to court but I am going to expose them in the Media too

LA Fitness Personal Training

LA Fitness Personal Training is a bait and switch. Prior to signing I was promised that there would be a trainer in the early am for my convenience- that is not true. The sessions are only 20 mins and not worth the money!!!!!!

Horrendous location in Staten Island

The Staten Island Richmond Ave location
Ripped carpeting
Rip the machines
Weights kept behind the counter that cannot be used by customers
All of the stair masters are broken
90% of the treadmill’s are broken
The men’s bathroom smells of urine, and appears to not have been mopped in weeks or is being minimally done

In addition, there was an incident over the weekend, where the pin of the machine did not stay fixed in the arm of the cable machine struck me in the face. An incident report was completed. Im told by the operations manager " you can complain but no one cares." Im told by the Gm of Sales "the Richmond Avenue location has the worst rating for cleanliness and club condition with a rating of F and 44%."

Merch and Customer Service

Im not for metering things, but this company really need to meter the amount of clothes their customers are buying or have much on hand, i pay for a membership here and cant ever get a good time to buy the merch i want, all the mediums and larges (size i do wear) is always sold out, with this much clietale you would think you would keep a lot more merch on deck, the disturbing part is i have sent many emails as you guys have it plastered the email to contact, ive did this for 2 consecutive weeks with no response at all, no call not email nothing, honestly i should just cancel the membership due to this disaster, here i am trying to give you guys more money and you dont have the decency to give me an email back to discple when youll get shipment in or anything of that nature, but when it comes to the membership you'll quickly respond, this is not professional at all, either im being ignored or you guys are just not as business savvy as you are promoting yourselves to be. In fact im so turned off by this i dont want to give you guys anymore of my business. I will be reviewing this on
google review and every other site i can go on. thank you for reading.
