VERY BAD SERVICE
I have beeen going to this gym for about 6 months and when they signed me up, I was signed up with my son who at the time was only 12 years old. Which i told the guy at the time of signing up and it was the only reason why I was trying to with him because he was getting out of shape. The guy said it was fine but just say he was 14 years old I thought nothing of it and went along with it, but the lack of service and helpfullness in this gym my son got hurt in the cycling room by one of the bikes. They made me fill out an accident report and that was the end of . Now 4 months later they are saying the my son can no longer go there because he is to young and was not supose to be going there at all. The manager that was working handled it very wrong and it was a big scene in the gym. He didn't handle the problem he just kept walking away from me saying he will look into it and call me another time instead of just solving the problem. I will not reccommend this gym to anyone the people are rude there and you do not feel welcome there at all.

Awful place
My complaint is probably a common one, but it is about the personal training staff, and greeters at LA Fitness. The last time I checked, when a customer comes in to your place of business, you are to be greeted. When I walked in, there were two grumpy middle-aged women, who would probably die before they could utter the word 'hello, ' or even worse 'how are you today?' Then there are the personal trainers.

When I signed up for the gym, I was encouraged to sign up for my 'free' fitness assessment. The word free couldn't be further from the truth. From the moment I met my trainer/sales person, I was immediately pushed to sign up for personal training. I had to use their BMI device, and was told to immediately hand the device over to them when the numbers show up.

My personal opinion was that they bump up those numbers before telling you what they are. This way you'll think you're in worse shape, and be more inclined to sign up. My fitness assessment lasted 45 minutes, 30 of those were spent being pitched certain training packages. Finally, I'd had enough and told the trainer that this wasn't for me.

The next day I came in, and right in the middle of my workout, I was once again approached by the personal trainer, and pitched to sign up again. I guess no, no longer means no? This is a great gym. The atmosphere is good and the equipment is current. Just make sure to stay away from the personal trainers. They're obnoxious. Especially DREW.

Lack of machine maintenance
There are only 4 Stairmasters at the Hazel Del, WA LA. Fitness. During peak times they are all in use with a waiting line. Other parts of the gym (free weights) are almost always empty.

About 2 weeks ago one of the machines was tagged as out of order. I looked at the machine and noticed the power cord was missing a prong. This made the line much longer and a few of the more stupid customers were trying to plug it in with the one prong expecting it to work.

I mentioned this to the staff. "Nothing we can do about it." was the reply. "We'll leave a note for the operations manager." I advised them this is now a safety issue. Wide eyed bewilderment.

Another week has now gone by. Still no one can manage to figure out how to change a plug.

This for $80.00 a month.

Over charge after discontinuing
I had membership for me and my wife from Dec 2007 to Aug 2008. We did not use it even for a single day. I personally went to the club in August 2008 and talked to the receptionist (African American Gentleman) who said my membership was d/c ed from August 2008. I dicontinued auto payments from my HSA. Later on I get a call from collections that I owe them money for membership after august 2008. Manager at club was not willing to listen to me or the people on the phone of no use. Harrasment by LA Fitness collections continue. LA Fitness does not take responsibility for their employee mis information on the discontinuing process. Meanwhile the harrassment for payment continues. THEY ARE GREAT RIP OFF ARTISTS.

No Customer Service
I have been trying to contact LA Fitness to complain about harrassment at the club. No answer to phone calls, no replys to BBB web site postings. Not even a return phone call from multiple faxing to the headquarters in Irvine California.

Rip off
I recently bought a membership for my wife for her birthday at LA Fitness. We went together and signed her up. They gave us a pretty good deal, (cut the membership fee down and threw in childcare), plus we could cancel anytime and I could go and try out the facilities for a couple of weeks myself. Everything seemed to be ok. Then the very next day my wife went to try out her new membership and someone talked to her about teaching her how to use the machines to get the maximum benefit out of her routine. They talked her into signing up for personal training. Having just recently come to this country she didn't have an expert knowledge of the language. She really didn't understand what she was signing and because we could cancel our membership anytime she thought we could just cancel the personal training anytime. After we got the credit card statement we talked about it and looked at the paperwork she had and realized we were locked into a contract for 12 months at $160 per month. She immediately called to find out why they didn't explain all this to her. They told her she signed a contract and that she knew what she was signing because they explained it to her. If she didn't like it she had 3 days to cancel it after signing. After going round and round with them she told them she wanted to cancel the personal training and membership. Well they told her she couldn't cancel the personal training because she signed a contract. She could cancel the membership if she came down and got a form, filled it out, and mailed it to the corporate office but it had to reach them a certain number of days before the next billing or they would charge us another month. They finally agreed out of the 'kindness of their hearts' to let us pay half of the personal training contract to get out of it. My wife called them and asked them what kind of company they are running and if they could in good conscience cheat people like this. I understand that she signed a contract but it appears to me by all of the complaints I see that this isn't an isolated case of someone not understanding how this predatory company operates. There is a definite pattern with this company taking advantage of people. She trusted what they told her. Now she has a bad taste of America and thinks people here are always trying to cheat others. I filed a complaint with the Attorney General's office with the State of Florida but I have not heard back from them yet. I don't know if I ever will with just one complaint. Something has to be done to stop these crooks. I am more than willing to participate or lead some kind of action against them. Please contact me through this website. I am really glad there is a forum were people can expose ripoffs like this and maybe get together and do something about it.

Fraud and cheating
I, like many others on this website, signed up for a membership at LA Fitness. Of course, included with the membership was a free hour training session with a 'Pro Results' trainer. By the end of the training session I was sat down at a desk and shown how much more weight I could lose and healther I could become with my trainer by my side. I fell for the bait hook, line and sinker.

I was a little apprehensive about the amount but was told I could cancel, downgrade or upgrade at anytime just like my LA Fitness membership. That eased my apprehension so I signed up. When I asked about other options 3 weeks later they had offered to 'freeze' my agreement with Pro Results since it was within one month and restructure my agreement.

Within 3 days I had been double charged for the training. I was told i would get a credit back, but they charged me again! When I went into the gym to get this cleared up I was told it wouldn't be able to be taken care of until Monday. I said fine as it was the weekend and I understood the office was not open on the weekend. I said I had been rethinking my training membership due to this mix up and wanted to cancel the Pro Results program but wanted to stay on with LA Fitness.

All of the sudden it was impossible to cancel the contract. Although I was told that it was a month to month agreement. I asked about the fact that they had changed my agreement just a few days before and that was fine because it was within a month. Now that I wanted to cancel I was told there was a 3 day cancellation policy. I was in no way informed of this before. I would not have signed up for the training.

Now it was also going to take at least 7-15 days to get my money back for the double charges that a few minutes before would only take until Monday! What the heck are they trying to pull. Needless to say I told them I no longer wanted my LA Fitness membership either and they told me I would have to send a letter to request this. I have sent the letter, and have sent it registered mail but I have a feeling I will hear from them again! I WILL MAKE SURE TO LET EVERYONE I CAN NOT TO JOIN LA FITNESS OR PRO RESULTS!

I have seen a lot of turn over in the training staff there in the short time I belonged to the gym. there were also 2 training sessions I had scheduled where the trainer did not show up. I was not compensated for this in anyway. Not only did they not take the training seriously the 'TRAINER MANAGERS' talked badly about the lower trainers, especially those that all of a sudden decided to leave the company. Boy, that is classy!

I guess I would leave too if they were only paying me $6 a session! I sure wish I knew this website existed before I ever walked into LA Fitness! I should have known not to sign when they did not provide anything in writing and the only price list they had to show was a grid that they wrote out on scratch paper! They definitely know who to put out there to get you to sign up. Definitely smooth operators!

PROBLEM CANCELLING MEMBERSHIP
I joined LA fitness while facility was under construction, attended for a few months, was injured there and decided to stop going.
I handed a note to one of the managers at the club, telling them I no longer would be attending the facility.
They keep calling looking for payment on a cancelled membership.
This group ignores cancellations.
Health and Fitness clubs need some serious regulations, country wide, and particularly in Massachusettsc7ace

Various Difficulties
I had trouble cancelling my membership as well -- they really have a scam going to get the most money they can out of people. Yet, when I go to the Better Business Bureau I see they have a satisfactory rating. Everyone who has complained here should send in complaints to the Better Business Bureau.
