I have applied several times for a position at LA fitness. I have been conversing with managers before the building was even built. I have received the run around on several occasion and still receiving it even now. My first application submission was by paper to Barry. I sat down had an interview with him and stated that the position I was interested in was the front desk position. because I'm a people person and have 5 years of experience as a receptionist. He told me someone would be in touch with me in November. ( An application that was never entered) But I continued to check in. Still awaiting that call which I didn't receive, I came by. I saw Barry and he told me the front desk position was now taken but there should be some positions still available. So I went in and talked to Bruce who I was also familiar with because I met him also before the gym opened. Bruce gave me a tour, explained the available positions and referred me to Jose. Jose, who could not seem to find my application that I submitted to Barry and referred me back to Bruce. Bruce ( who is the only competent employee), set me up at a computer to fill out an on-line application. Once I was finish Jose and I spoke briefly and he explained to me that you Sam was the one I needed to speak to. So then I was sent away and told by Jose that he will be in-touch with me to set up an interview. An once again, after I did not receive a call. I called and spoke to Jose who asked me to come in. An when I did, Jose forgot that he even asked me to come in and had me sitting in the lobby for a half an hour. Then he came to me and stated again that he needed to meet with you and asked me to fill-out another paper application. So I patiently left and filled out yet another application and return it later that afternoon. When I returned with the application I had an interview with Sam ( the head manager). We discussed the ends and outs of the position and he said I was hired and then passed me over to Jose to finish it out. Jose, according to Sam was suppose to set me up with a schedule and when to come in to fill out my paperwork. However, Jose, didn't have the information to do so. So he stated once again that he was going to get in-touch with Sam about where he can put me in the schedule then get back to me. I think you know that he never did. Still, I continued to check-in with him as well as Barry. An Still they said the same thing, that they needed to hear from Sam. So I contacted Sam myself and let him know that I have never had to go through so much just applying for a job that would be lucky to have me. Someone who's a hard worker, friendly, clearly persistent and that has enough family that would have filled their entire gym. I do not like how I have been treated with this establishment and if they find a better staff and improve they're employment process...they just might succeed...But until then, they are going to lose a lot of customers ! just like they've lost me!

As of this week all of the Televisions didn't have FOX NEWS on them and only displayed ESPN along with CNN and MSNBC. I asked if I could get one channel changed to FNC and was told that Corporate had blocked the station in all the clubs. I don't care what people watch or don't watch but why would you create a political issue in a business? Two members have cancelled at this gym today and as soon as I find a similarly priced gym I will be doing the same.

I joined LA fitness specifically to have access to a pool. After one week into my membership, the pool heater broke. Apparently, the pool heater at the Gresham and Pearl location are also broken. I was told that it was going to be repaired last week and nothing happened. Today I was given the "we have no idea when it's going to be repaired. Corporate needs to buy a new heater and we have no control over when they do that. It may be weeks before it's repaired." This is completely unaccaptable. Corporate should not hesitate to buy new heaters for its paying customers.

Hi my name is Maria, been a long time customer with La Fitness(sheridan and 52nd ave)to be exact... there was this ad on my email but when I got there, they said different:

Restart your membership today for $0 initiation fee and only $29.99 per month for multi-club access. First and last months' dues required at the time of enrollment.*

I had to pay for the money down ($40) and $35 per month...I would like to know how I go about getting it back, and if this is true????

thankyou

I am writing about the horrendous managers at the Apple Valley, MN club. Many of us would complain to the wimpy managers about not demanding offending members who leave their locks overnight (for WEEKS at a time) to take them out or they will cut them off. Alicia especially, was one of the wimpiest...her response was, well we don't want to offend any of our members...even though there were so many lockers with locks on them that it was hard to get a locker during the busy time periods! We told her the club policy was any locks left overnight should be cut off! Your own policy!!! Once we complained enough we were asked to leave the club and viewed as troublemakers. Wow, asking the wimpy club manager to enforce the clubs own "rules" and you get labeled a troublemaker. My membership was revoked and I was told that I could not apply at any other club. I have since moved to southern California and when I tried to re-apply at a San Diego club last week I was denied membership because of my "attitude and troublemaker" comments in my file from Alicia. On top of this...they charged me for 3 months dues AFTER they revoked my membership! It took me about 10 phone calls to get my money back! On top of this, a gal friend of mine signed up for 12 months of training with a personal trainer. After seeing that their trainers are actually high school kids with no training she stopped going. Well, after 12 months the 13th month and she got billed again! Well, you must give IN WRITING a cancellation notice or they roll over your contract and keep billing you!!! A total rip off! Avoid, avoid, avoid at all costs these clubs!!!
