I really don't like to do more than two reviews of any given place, but I feel like I should.
I went here yesterday (and a few times last week) and I'm not sure what their problem is, but they are incredibly pushy! The last few times I went (which ultimately made me decide to tell/warn people), I have handed over my key card thing they scan and usually hand back. Well, the person handling it holds the card (with all my keys attached) and asks me if I'm interested in this, or that (yesterday it was an assessment with a personal trainer). The time before yesterday, one of the guys got me to fill out information on my boyfriend to call him to let him know about the gym. I was under the impression I was going to be given a two week pass to bring home to him, but nope.
Each time I come here, I've set aside half an hour to 45minutes to get in a work out. I'd rather be left alone then hassled (they don't like when you tell them "no" and keep pushing the issue).
I've had the same guy at the L.A. Fitness on Rancho Sante Fe be annoyingly pushy, "What're you gonna be doing today?" "Are you sure you don't want to speak with a trainer?" But this place is ridiculous!
I almost hate going to the gym for totally different reasons than I always leave sweaty and hate the duration of my 35minutes of cardio.
This is a 1 and a half star which comes from the place being brand new and having new equipment. Oh, and its closer to my house than the other LA Fitness.
