3 /5 Mary Wright: First, let me start with the positive. The best thing about this gym is Isaac who welcomes everybody with a smile at 5 AM on weekdays. Isaac deserves a raise or promotion!
Also, the regulars who workout early are super nice. I lived next-door for two years so it was very convenient to work out here.
The reason why I’m switching gyms is that I want to be able to work out earlier on the weekends.Opening at 8 AM on weekends is too late. I prefer to be able to work out as early as 6 AM (or even earlier) just to avoid busy crowds and people keeping machines and benches occupied while on their phone or videoing themselves (super annoying). Another thing is that this gym gets way (!!) too busy outside of the early weekday time slots… I want be able to go in and out without having to wait a ridiculous amount of time before I can use certain machines or search for dumbbells because a lot of people just leave those in random spots throughout the gym. More staff to supervise equipment etc. would also be an improvement.
I recently moved and switched to a very clean 24-hr (yay!) gym with a ton of new equipment and all kinds of amenities for significantly less than what we paid at LA Fitness. The fact that I can go in anytime of the day is really an added bonus.
I will miss my gym buddies, but LA Fitness needs to step it up to keep up with the competition.
