LA Fitness Anyone?
I am thinking of joining LA Fitness... but I have a few questions I want to ask real people instead of thier sales staff...
I am wanting to have a place to workout when the weather is not so great and a place to swim. So do they have a track or just treadmills? Are the lap pools packed (prolly in the evenings after work about 5 or so I would go)? How much is it at first then each month? I would likely join and go to the one in greenwood... maybe try the southport one depending on which might be busy/less busy...
TIA!
Re: LA Fitness Anyone?
I joined LA Fitness when we moved here in October...it's okay. It's big, clean, and I can always find a cardio machine/weight machine without any trouble, so that's a plus. I usually love the fitness classes, but am not very impressed by what they offer. Sadly, it's still better than what I found at other gyms in the area.
They do not have a track, but have plenty of treadmills. I honestly haven't used the pool, so I don't know about how packed it is. It never really looks too bad to me, but I'm not sure what I would be looking for!
I felt like I was at a high pressure sales event when I went to join the club - I had to be very firm with the sales man (and it really is about sales, not about fitness, so don't let them pressure you!). I had to be adament and told them that I would not pay the initiation/joining fee (I think it was $149), I did not want a contract, and I was not interested in persosnal training packages through the gym (the majority of their "trainers" aren't even nationally certified!).
Since DH and I wanted a joint membership, I was able to get them to drop one of the initiation fees, cut the other one in half ($75) and pay $34.99 each per month. Which I still think is obnoxiously high, but it also includes use of the raquetball court. The initial payment was $145, which they split into two payments.
Overall, the gym is pretty good - I just wish the class schedule was more convenient/had more diversity.
Let me know if you need anything else!
Maybe we could meet up at some point! It would be great to finally meet you!
Although maybe not at the gym....I'm always super sweaty gross at the gym...
