LA Fitness

I have been disappointed in this place since I joined several months ago but the final straw was when I attempted to bring my fiancé as a guest the other day. We walked in ready to pay the guest fee and possibly even sign him up for his own membership but were immediately and rudely turned away because he had yet to change his license. We walked in and came up to the front desk where the tired looking receptionist begrudgingly attempted to scan my card (it took her three times) with a horrible attitude. Upon telling her that I was bringing a guest she asked for his license and we gladly handed it over. When she realized that it was an out of state license she became even more confused than she had been scanning my card and just stared at us until one of the sales guys came over and took the card from her. He gave it a once over and looked at my fiancé and said ‘Uh yeah, Bubba… I can’t let you in. You have to have a GA drivers license to be a guest here’. Now, apart from the fact that when I signed up for my membership I was not informed of any such policy, the guy had my finance’s license in his hand and could have addressed him by either his name or sir, but instead, decided to go with ‘Bubba’… Really? Is this how you address everyone? Now I completely understand that establishments such as this have certain policies in place to keep themselves and their members safe, really I do. But they could have simply explained their reasoning for this policy or had us sign a release (like any other gym would do) or made a one time exception seeing as how this ‘policy’ wasn’t discussed with me when the manager signed me up for my membership in the first place. Instead they rudely told us to leave and said there was nothing they could do. So we left. I called back 30 mins later and spoke to a manager and after telling him that I wanted to cancel my membership he offered to let us come back in and give my fiancé a one day pass. Um… Couldn’t you have done that when we were in there 30 mins ago? I was lead to believe that there wasn’t even a manager on duty and now that we have left and gone all the way home and threatened to cancel my membership you want to try to make it all better by doing what you should have done in the first place? Seriously? No thank you. On top of all of this, I was told that I would have to come and cancel my membership in person and that I could only do that while this certain manager was in the office which is conveniently the same hours that I am at work. Lovely… Rest assured LA Fitness, I will be by very soon to make good on my word. As a former personal trainer and group fitness instructor I can confidently say that this is not how a gym is supposed to be run. I highly suggest that you train your sales team and receptionists on simple customer service. A nice attitude will get you far in life, even if you are telling people things that they don’t want to hear. There’s a lot to be said about mutual respect and professionalism, Bubba!

This location is MUCH better than the subpar East Cobb location on Roswell Rd. I like it because it is a quieter, less busy location, and I had an awesome physical trainer there, who I would recommend to anyone. Her name is Erica, and she NEVER missed an appointment, had high energy, and really cares about her clients. I had a terrible experience with training at the other location, with constantly changing trainers, them not showing up, or truly a lack of effort or attention. Also, the equipment and pool seem to be in better condition than other gyms I have seen. I understand that it is a somewhat newer gym, so I hope they keep it up.

My FAVORITE all-​time LA Fitness location! Always clean, the staff are friendly, never crowded. I have gone both before work (6am) and after work (5:30pm) and there are plenty of open machines at all times.

Great gym!!! Clean! Big!!! Never crowded! Caters to all! I’m a new member and I will update. But I’m so glad to have joined!!! Way better than gyms in the area! And definitely has competitive pricing!

Clean, good variety of members. It is not a gym where you have to dress up to workout, seems like everyone is there for the same reason, exercise. Very happy with this gym.

No complaints here at all. This is my home gym and I’m here three days a week. I come in the mornings when there’s really no crowd. The weights and machines are in the condition that you would expect for a gym, very decent. The place seems pretty clean. I have no interaction with any employees or other users I just go in work out and leave.

They won’t let me join my stepmom as a guest for ONE morning yoga class because I have an out-​of-​state ID. Unless, of course, I pay $ 15 for a «day fee.» Because they won’t put me on her «VIP guest list.»
What? Good gyms give out guest passes like candy. I live in a city of 8.5 million people and got a free day at the elite Equinox by walking in their front door. What makes this strip mall treadmill farm so special?

This is one of the newer, nicer locations like Barrett Pkwy and Terrell Mill. It’s never overcrowded when I go, but I don’t go during the mad rush times either. The Bodyworks class on Monday nights at 7 is always packed, so get there early.
Aside from that, I’m pretty cool with the place. I love strength training and jumping rope, so if you visit you can find me in the free weights/​cable weight area or striking a yoga pose for my stretching post-​workout. :-)

Great LA fitness location. Families, older people, H.S. students from Sprayberry, women… a nice mix of different demographics of people. Friendly people, no lame azz dorks on steroids walking around like they own the place, not too many hoochies, or ridiculous looking people. Just a regular, decent gym. And VERY clean and organizeed. Big props to whoever the manager is! This has been my main LA fitness for 4 years or so, and I love it! Keep it up. PLEASE!!!

Perspective: Fitness Club
This LA Fitness similar to many others nearby; weight machines, free weights, racquetball courts, swimming pool, gym, sauna, treadmills, elliptical machines
There are so many types of weight machines here. I did notice a daycare areas, etc.
It’s an open layout — almost identical to the Towne Lake location.
I bought a few memberships. Just be careful that you don’t sign up for a commitment you can’t afford.
Reduce 1 star because no soap in any of the dispensers in the Men’s shower area.

This is about my favorite of the LA Fitness facilities I have been to in the North Atlanta suburbs.
It’s fairly new with excellent equipment and is kept clean. It is not crowded at all either on the gym floor or in the locker room. I never have to wait for machines or to swim in the pool. The lockers are large and there is plenty of room to spread out when changing.

As other reviewers mentioned this gym is a clean, very well maintained facility. The gym has a lot of equipment, especially in the weight area. My low review is due to the classes. Granted I joined the gym for the classes, if you do not participate in group classes then my review is probably not useful for you. My biggest complaint is that classes are often canceled very last minute. Recently I had two canceled classes within a week of each, what added to my frustration was the response from the front desk. In one case they put a sign up on the door about three minutes prior to the start of class and did not even enter the room to let us know the class was canceled. Later that week another class was canceled and a member had to go to the front desk to find out if there was a class that day. In addition the classes are understocked on equipment. In the body works class (weekend classes) the popular sized weights go very quickly and people are forced to use other weights.

Clean, well maintained facility with professional staff and trainers. There is plenty of equipment so crowding is not an issue.

Even though it is not brand new anymore, they have managed to keep it clean and well maintained. Equipment is fixed fairly quickly and usually don’t have to wait in line to use any of the weights or cardio equipment. Staff could be a little friendly, but I don’t really care as long as they run the place good.

I have been a member for a year and mostly use the pool, spin class, cardio and weight machines. I can not use the aerobics class or racquetball courts so I will not comment on them.
I have been a member of gyms for over 20 years, and this one is good.
Their equipment is in pretty good shape. The pads appear clean most of the equipment is in good working order. I have never found a gym with no repairs in progress.
Their sauna and shower area are very clean, lockers are always clean, never really busy. I can always get on a machine. I have only had to wait a few minutes on a crazy busy day, but i found another machine on the main floor that was just fine.
The POOL IS WARM!!! If you like a warm pool you are in luck. It is never very busy, and the water is kept at a very comfy temp.
The music in the spin and step classes that i have taken was decent. Quite often I have to bring ear plugs to classes at other clubs, but so far I don’t need them at this LA Fitness.
The only negative might be their class schedule. It is fairly thin compared to other La Fitness gyms like the one off of Roswell Rd. I don’t believe this one on E. Piedmont is as busy as that location.
The staff is decent, it is a gym, you have to motivate yourself. Have fun and get involved.

Positives:
This facility is fairly new and is in good condition – generally very clean & well-​kept. It is not as crowded as some of the other LA Fitness locations and I rarely have to wait for a piece of equipment. It’s not a «meat market» type of gym – just people doing their ‘workout thing.‘
They have a full complement of cardio, free-​weights, and Nautilus-​type machines, along with spin classes, a basketball court, 5 racquetball courts, a pool, spa, and sauna. The group fitness instructors are personable as well as knowledgeable; I especially enjoy the yoga classes. They have a great variety in their class schedule – there’s a little something for everyone.
I haven’t made use of any of the personal trainers, so I cannot comment on their competencies. I do see quite a few members working with staff trainers, so they may be worth checking out if you are in the market for it.
The minor negatives:
They don’t stock kettle balls and their medicine balls are currently sorely in need of replacement. One of the managers a couple of times has had his preteen children wandering the gym, which I don’t think is safe or comfortable for the members.
