| - BUYER BEWARE! Let me start off by saying the ONLY thing worth while about this gym is the classes. If you're into classes and thats all you're looking for then this place might be okay for you. Now onto everything that is completely wrong with this place. The men's locker room is dirty and smells. Usually there is no soap in the soap dispensers, or paper towels. The smell within the bathroom is something of a rotting/rancid sweat smell which makes me want to vomit every time I step foot in there. The pool is dirty and I would never step foot in it. The pool water is so cloudy that you usually can't even see the bottom of it! The gym equipment is old and beat up. The workers there will claim it is new but walk through this gym and then go to another gym and look at the equipment and you will 100% see the difference. Just to show you a example of the care they take in their equipment, there is a shoulder press machine that has been missing the cushion you sit on now for a solid 2 weeks, no way can anyone use this machine. They have TV's on all cardio equipment however I would say a good 40-50% don't work. Also, all of the equipment is so close together that you feel like you're constantly in the way of the other patrons, this goes for ALL the equipment, cardio, free weights, and the weighted machines. Now I feel like I'm your typical person, I go to the gym 3-4 times a week after work usually around 7. Reason I mention this is b/c this place is so packed every single time I go that you cannot get a full work out in. Forget about even going near the free weights, there are usually about 4-5 guys at each bench just circled around it. Same sort of thing happens at all the other machines, just tons of people everywhere. Some of the patrons even bring their kids! Kids are literally running around the gym while you try to work out. They even allow pre-teens and very young looking teenagers to join the gym. They basically do nothing but walk around the gym and take up the machines while they talk. Now the worst part of this gym, the staff. They are rude and unhelpful. I have been a member of this gym for about 2 months, I finally decided that I'm unhappy with the gym and I wished to cancel. Something the staff doesn't mention when you sign up is that it is a full year contract! The only way they will let you out of the contract is if you can show proof that you're moving more than 25 miles away and even then you are forced to pay 100 dollars. I have spoken to the GM of the gym regarding my experience at the gym and basically told him all of the above as to why I am unhappy with the gym. All he told me was that there is nothing they can do and that the contract is legally binding blah blah blah even after I told him that if I knew there was a year contract I would have never signed up for this place. Another example of how out of touch the staff and manager are with this gym, while speaking with the manager I asked him if he was aware of his reputation on the internet to which he responded, "no, I don't look at whats said on the internet". What type of person who takes their profession seriously doesn't look at whats said on the internet about their place of business and how they can improve?!?! Do some simple searching and you will quickly realize I'm not the only one who is unhappy with this place. I everyone who reads this to check out this gym more than once before signing up, if you're anything like me I think you will be severely disappointed. To be honest there are 2 LA Fitness gyms each about 10 min. away North and South of this place, do yourself a favor and go check out either one. I am 100% certain that when you step into one of those gyms you will completely see the difference in the quality of the staff and the equipment. I'm desperate to get out of this place and it seems like my only option at this point is to "freeze" my account for 5 bucks a month until I can officially cancel next year. Once again, be careful before signing up at this place. You will be disappointed!
