I've been in Charlotte for about 2 years now and I was highly disappointed to not see as many LA Fitness locations as I do in Atlanta. I was skeptical about Fitness Connection- one bc I never heard of it and two, bc I'm not a fan of crowded gyms. I remember when they first opened and I tried out the University location for a few months. I loved the amenities however there was one feature that I really wanted (the sauna) but it wasn't ready yet. I waited 3 months and to no avail it was not prepared as promised so I left..
1 year later, I have returned and I seriously have no complaints. Lol. It's people everywhere HOWEVER with all of the machines available and the stations designated so nicely, you hardly ever bump into anyone or have problems getting you a decent work out. Way to go Fitness Connection!!
