I normally would never step foot in here, but had a free guest pass so decided to give it a try. It could be that I'm a little spoiled from the luxuries at my school's gym, but my experience at LA Fitness Southside wasn't all that great.
Yes, it's spacious and there are lots to do. The staff members are friendly and helpful. However, it smells like MOLDY SOCKS in there. I understand that gyms are supposed to be filled with sweat, but there's only a certain level that a human being can tolerate. Not only is the odor unbearable, but also the air is stuffy and hot. It's not that sanitary either. People don't wipe up the equipment after each use. I don't blame them though because there aren't enough sanitizer pumps around. Each floor literally had 3 sanitizer pumps. I think I spent more time looking for sanitizer pumps than working out.
Overall, I do not recommend investing in the LA Fitness in Southside. Try out a different location or just run around outside. LA Fitness, please invest in some SANITIZER WIPES!!
