| - Where do I start...
I hate to compare this one to the one I attended in Southern California, but I don't really have much other basis for comparison.
First off, this one is way more packed at any given time than my previous gym. Can't fault them for that, it means it's a good place to be, right? Meh.
The personal trainers (who if you didn't already know work on commision) are VERY aggressive with their recruiting tactics...I have been accosted on several occasions, bad enough once that I had to cut my workout short and get out of there to end the madness because the gentleman would not take no for an answer. In addition sometimes the front desk workers are more concerned with who's pants they're getting into at the end of the night. Save the MySpace drama for home time, kiddies.
A lot of times, the most random machines will be in disrepair. Treadmills with non-operating heart rate meters or fans, (or worse and a potential hazard/lawsuit) slipping belts, exercise bikes with the same problem with the slipping belts, among other machines.
Sometimes it is very dirty in there. Trash on the main floor mostly but sometimes it appears like the mens sauna and shower areas haven't been scrubbed down for weeks. Also, I don't understand why other LA Fitness locations have shower curtains, yet this one does not? Not that I care but it is a nice touch for people that aren't as comfortable "baring it all."
As stated it really isn't fair to compare this to other local gyms (I will be switching up soon so watch for more reviews) but having been so impressed by the facility and employees of the LA Fitness I attended back in California, this one is a huge letdown.
