| - Ok, so it's LA fitness. This is not a fancy gym, but for the price you really can't beat it. I, like many other posters before, go a little farther to avoid the 20th street one. Yes if you come on weekends and week nights it may be crowded. However, I've never had to wait for a cardio machine so no complaints in that regard whatsoever.
I've been to a few classes too, and now have experience with personal trainers, so I'll give my input on those.
The good: I Love love love Katherine for cycle. I've been to spin studios and she seriously kicks butt. She had a sub a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to cry the whole time because Katherine is so much better.
I also really love Cassandra for personal training. She works me hard but knows how to modify the exercises. She's really nice and understands weight issues, injuries, etc. She kicks butt!
You can watch tv and charge your iPhone at every cardio machine! Woohoo!
The bad: ugh I hate step class. I'm not sure if I really just hate the step class or if it was the instructor, but its boring.
The ugly: My personal training assessment was not so good, mainly because of the kid who did it was not too sympathetic to my struggles, and said some things that sounded judgmental, ie "how long have you been overweight?" Me: my whole life. Him: "really, why? (In a snooty tone)" That's just one example. I feel with a little customer service skills that could have gone a lot better. High pressure sales, belittling don't usually work on me, and I had gone in there already deciding to sign up for personal training, so it wasn't necessary at all.
