This has been my go-to gym since February, and my experience has been good for the most part. I don't live near anymore, but I still like coming here once or twice a week for cardio and conditioning. My gym on Addison in Chicago was objectively a better gym, and I think that the following can be addressed to improve the experience of all members:- The men's showers could be cleaned more thoroughly and more often. I'm often finding hairs in the drains. It's not great, but it's more or less tolerable when I take the monthly membership cost into account (along with perks, like nationwide access).- Soap dispensers could be placed where they're missing, and filled in all shower stalls. It's a relatively simple fix.- Paper towel dispensers could be placed on the third floor of the gym, along with sanitizer dispensers. This helps with cleaning the machines after use, and it helps foster a more sanitary environment. Both the Foster and Addison location (in Chicago) are great about this.- The men's bathroom has had an out of order water faucet for months now, and a few of the other water faucets may have faulty sensors. It might be time to do some TLC/renovations.At least the staff's nice, so I can't fault the gym too much. I've never felt unsafe in the gym or the parking structure either, so that's a huge pro.There's room for improvement, but it does the job.

The sauna is never hot, the cold plunge has never worked since being a member 2 months ago. They clean the gym while you are working out so the dusty vacuum air is what your breathing in as you work out. Still giving 3 star because the workout equipment is some what maintained, and workout areas are clean.

When I sign for the membership on 2019 I been told that I can bring up to 2 people with as long as they came at the same time with me, and it was like that up to today when a rude front desk Girl didn’t let my second guest go in, I asked what was charged since no one said anything to me in the last 4 years i been using the membership. she did not give me a clear answer plus unprofessional attitude I got kind of upset and I asked her if I want to cancel my membership how many days I have less to use the gym but she keeps given me vagues answers then I left I assumed that she noted the account because 7 hours later I got a call from the Manager named JOCELINE she wasn’t rude or disrespectful but she was enforcing me to cancel my membership in the spot without considering the 4 years I been as a loyal customer, no even willing to clarify my doubts and explain the changes if it was made or the misunderstood about my membership when I signed up. Totally Unpleasant experience

DO NOT sign a personal training contract at all unless you are willing to commit to roughly a year. I was under the impression it is a month-to-month but come to find out it is not. I signed the contract under the described impression and got incredibly sick, so I called to cancel it. They continued to charge me for months. They will make you drive to the gym, say they can’t do anything and you have to call corporate.Corporate will also say they can’t do anything and offer to buy out half your year contract, which I did not know was a year contract for a service I never used.After how all this was handled the only thing I feel is SCAMMED. This will be the one and only time I ever do business with LA fitness.

This is my favorite LB LA Fitness - for the sauna! It's an extra large sauna (at least for the women's) probably double the size of the typical gym sauna, which is not only more comfortable space-wise, but I also find the heat to be more comfortable too. Only drawback is lack of cell phone service in the sauna.Plenty of cardio machines- never had a problem finding one open.

Childcare now closed - Well this was a promising gym for me. But was told they closed the childcare due corporate deciding it being “unprofitable”, so that means the others will probably close theirs soon too. Sucks cause I signed up for …

Honestly, I haven't had any complaints before. I've been a member since 2003 which is 19 years, and I don't use the gym that often. I pay $42 a month which allows me to bring in 2 guests anytime. I've been paying that amount for 19 years. …
