LA Fitness

This is the smelliest LA fitness I’ve ever been to!!! I’ve been a member since 2000 and I’ve visited over 10 LA fitness in different states and this one SMELLS THE WORST!!! It smells like mildew, feet, funk and must!!! YUCK

Probably one of the best la fitnesses i go to in the gwinnett area. Receptionist is always welcoming and this place is always clean and quick to repair broken machines!

Serious temperature regulation issues in this club. Management utterly dismissive of any concerns. Parts of the gym have no A/​C at times. If you enjoy working out in a sauna and being ignored when you ask for something, this club is for you.

This place was fairly spacious. The current membership price is $ 29.99. In addition to this, you have to pay the 1^st and last months up front. You’re also charged an application or something fee of about $ 140 (?).
The facility itself had a variety of equipment. There was an upstairs and downstairs. The upstairs had mostly cardio equipment that overlooks the lower level. All the weights and other equipments were downstairs along with rooms for racket ball.
Overall, I think this place is decent for the membership price and number and variety of weights and workout equipments. I think I would consider LA Fitness as a potential place for a gym membership, but I think I’ll give their 7 day risk free trial a go. Parking was plentiful since this was in a large complex.

No matter what time i go someone is always on the machine i want. You go get on another on and then walk back over and someone else is on it.aaaaaggh. And theres not enough places to do things on your own. Everything has to br done in front of everyone else. It seems kinda small in here too. But the one on sugarloaf seems even smaller to me

Very convenient gym. I would give this place a 5 if it wasn’t as packed. Also the freezing your account is wack.

Ok so this place isn’t terrible but the people that work, there need to work on there people skills. I’m not one to judge based on an isolated experience but I come here everyday after work and I see the behaviors this one lady uses everyday and it just pisses me off. Not only for myself but how I see how she treats other customers to. First, she grabs your keys out of your hands, berates you almost coming in and never treats you with respect. I had a conversation with her and although I am not self conscious about my body, I asked her about kick boxing classes and she said it was taken away because of no trainers. Then she said I could try Zumba or body core classes that target weight loss or strength training and followed that with «not saying that you need to lose weight or anything». Ummm… why would you even say that? I never said I wanted to lose weight, I was just interested in the classes this gym offers. She needs a few customer service lessons or find a cubicle job and isolate herself from the world since she has not a clue how to talk to customers.

This gym is ok-​I like the price and the equipment. I went in at the wrong time the other day bc the place was PACKED which is great for business but I prefer to not have to wait for equipment-that’s not the gyms fault but it was pretty funky in there at that time only. I’ve been going to this location for a few months, I just have to go at different times. I like all the amenities and can’t complain about the facilities

Location, Location! (across from Mall of GA) It’s Good enough for me sooo. I’m sure it will make the cut for you! :) Ha Ha, to each their own. I have been in and out of this place getting my cardio on for the last 6 month’s.
Mornings, I repeat Mornings before 11:00 if you can get here DO SO! If not you would feel like most of these people dont Have jobs or something free is being given out! (Crowds ugh) 3stars due to that.
I’m a bit of a germaphobe and need my Lysol wipes before I touch anything. I work in healthcare so gyms can be scary. Crowds make that fear worst.
They have classes such as cycling, Zumba and aerobics, and more Some classes are intense so be hydrated with (H20 not powerade) beforehand.
I usually come with a friend that pushes me to do weights sometimes (eek) I hate the soreness so I will stick to my cardio thanks! :)

Skinny-​fy me LA Fitness!
This is my go to gym! The location is extremely convenient for me.
Here’s some tips in case you want to visit!
–The gym can get pretty jammed packed! And I try to avoid people like the plague when I’m working out (That awkward moment when you see an old friend and you are sweaty and smelly and panting heavily…)(& that’s usually on the days that you didn’t dress all cute and color coordinated!). So I try to come when everyone is either at work or in school (anytime before noon). Sundays are also good days to come.
–The Zumba class run by Mary on Monday evenings are way too packed! If you get there late, you’re stuck in the back & have to rely on what the person in front of you is doing. (Which adds to more awkward gym moments!)
–The Step Plus Abs (Step Aerobics) classes led by Stacey on Wednesday evenings are NOT for beginners.
–The Cycle classes are crazy intense! Very good for calorie burning! Both men & women will enjoy! If it’s your first time trying: 1. Don’t worry, you’ll get better. 2. That area between your legs will hurt very badly! Bring a towel for your face. And a towel as a cushion for that awful seat. And bring WATER!
They have all sorts of equipment. And they have televisions to watch while you workout (although you need a special app to listen –I have yet to figure it out!)
I personally rather walk/​run outside. I hate to run and not go anywhere! (I recommended the nearby nature trail if you are outdoorsy like me)
The sauna is dry heat. It’s kind of tiny. And can get crowded. And there are a couple of people who like to talk the entire time in there! (If you’re one of those people, I mean no offense! I just like to relax and drift off to la la land while sweating!)
If you’re a girl and you are wondering if dry heat can damage your hair, it can! But use the heat to your advantage & put conditioner in it before you enter!
All in all, this is my gym & I like it. It remains clean and the employees are okay.
Come check it out!

Tonight, my 23-​year-​old, autistic son was asked to leave a fitness class because «he made other people uncomfortable». The class started at 8:00 PM and he had been looking forward to it all day. He got there a few minutes early and was pacing a little bit before the class started. My guess is that he was probably flapping a little bit too, because he was so excited. By 8:10 PM, he called and told me that he had been kicked out of class. He wasn’t sure what he had done wrong and he sounded heartbroken. The Manager and Instructor basically told us, «He didn’t do anything wrong. People probably didn’t realize that he is disabled. They thought he was there to cause trouble when they saw him pacing.»

I was new to the area and went to check this gym out. i was extremely impressed with the layout and the diffrent equipment. Paul toured me around the club answering all my silly questions. I have been there a few times and love it. The guys that work the office area are very nice and helpful. Great place to work out!

I do not recommend LA Fitness for any type of gym membership. I only signed up for weekly membership and have been receiving harrassing phone calls multiple times a day regarding $ 10 that they were unable to charge because a card had expired. I received these calls from several different people from different locations several times daily. This is harrassment and not the way to retain customers. Surely I have $ 10 but I signed no contract and am not committed to continuing to pay you for something I am not utilizing. Google harrasing phone calls from LA Fitness and you will find many similar stories. BEWARE!

Im new to the area, moved here from Las Vegas and was searching for a gym. I printed out a few week passes for a few different gyms to decide which one i liked better. Went to LA Fitness and had a horrible experience! I first get in and I have an older gentleman showing me around. The only thing he could take about was how he used to be a body builder and how many gyms he used to own. After looking at his cel phone pics of him back in the 80’s when he was a lifter I finally got to look around at the gym. I worked out and had to go back to get my ID. I wanted to try out a few classes and work out there a few times before i made my decision but the guys made it for me… When i wouldn’t sign up with Old Man Body Builder he went to get back up. Mr. Wanna-​be-​JerseyShore showed up. He told me to try sign up and come back that night to try the Zumba class (after I already told him I am not a fan of Zumba) But apparently all ladies like Zumba so after a few attempts of pushing sign up and Zumba class on me I had to lie to tell them I would be back later that night for Zumba and to sign up… provided a fake email and phone number to finally get my ID back!!! Needless to say I did NOT sign up and picked Golds Gym!!! MUCH BETTER gym, class selection, and customer service!

Great location; great layout; nice staff. Machines are clean and kept-​up and bathrooms /​dressing rooms are clean.

Newer 2– story floor design with the «cardio catwalk» set up. It’s a nice club, well-​kept and clean BUT it gets CROWDED during prime time. The kind of crowded that makes you want to go to the sales people and yell at them: «for the love of God, stop the madness!». You know… that kind of crowded. So, plan on being flexible with your workout rotation.
The people are pretty nice, with a wide range of folks you would expect to find at such a place: middle-​aged to middle school, MILFs to meatheads. They have it all. Easy to grab a spot from someone who knows what they’re doing.
If you’re inclined to liking the LA Fitness business model then you’ll love this gym. If you’re more inclined to smaller more serious lifting places then go across 985 and hit up the multitude of smaller gyms on the west side of town.

I’ve lived in the Lawrenceville-​Suwanee area since last August and never bothered to find the gym near me. Mainly, that was because I thought the nearest one was on Sugarloaf, which is a pretty long drive (for something that’s supposed to be «near» my house). This week, I did some looking and found out that there’s actually an LA Fitness in Buford that’s much closer to me.
So right off the bat, I’m giving one star for convenience. But the other four stars are based on this location’s actual merits. Compared to other LA Fitness locations I’ve visited, this one is much bigger and cleaner. There are tons of cardio machines, and the weight area looked well-​stocked, too.
When I called up to confirm what time the spin class was yesterday, the girl with whom I spoke was very friendly. I realize that shouldn’t be out of the ordinary, but I’ve found the staff at most LA Fitness branches to be a little on the unpleasant side.
The spin class I attended yesterday was great. Brian is an awesome, energetic, and entertaining instructor. The class I attended had a playlist that was mostly trance and dance music, so be forewarned if that bothers you (I personally love that sort of music in spin class — I know, how creative of me). Brian teaches at least 5 other classes a week, so I’m thinking I’ll be back fairly often.
All of the equipment I saw appeared to be in very good condition. I’ve noticed at other LA Fitness locations that maintenance doesn’t always seem to be a priority. Let’s hope that they do a good job with upkeep on this facility, because right now it way outshines any other location I’ve been to.
