Please have classes start on time- tell instructors not to announce lets wait forn late people- there were 8 people there on time- why wait

On 3 of the last 4 Saturdays, I have worked out at the Elmwood Ave., Buffalo, NY gym and the sauna ( I went into the sauna at 8:40 am) has not been working properly. I have been told that it was shut off the previous night and not been turned on yet. This seems very easy to correct, yet a negative pattern continues!
Also, both my wife and I have inquired about getting the services of a personal trainer. However, we were both told that there was an initiation fee and a commitment of six months or one year to obtain these services. At a similar facility, which I could attend free, the cost of services for a trainer is $95 for 4 visits with no long term commitment. Any suggestions?

I just returned from the LA Fitness at 1860 duluth hwy., 195. The rest room was unacceptable. When I told the receptionist about this she looked blankly and said, “Well, we don’t have a janitor today.”

If management is interested in keeping this location open he/she should have gone and cleaned it up themselves. We have choices.

I did my registration on Friday and today Monday I went to Ocoee facility for the first time. I stopped by at reception and introduced myself and I said that was my first time over there. At that time three young employees were working and they were joking with each other and almost ignored me. They started to tell each other to take me to do a tour in the facility but because they were arguing to decide who is going to take me then I told them I do not want or asked for a tour. I just wanted to know where was the zumba class. I totally was disappointed! And another think…the gym was completely packed. And I noticed that no one asked to show my membership card…So I was thinking…everyone in here really are members?

i been a member of l.a. fitness for 11 straight yrs about 300 days a yr , i go !!! and im in a gym in toms river new jersey a l.a. fitness franchise,i have seen people get fired for no reasons vbut , the last few take the cake. as we all know ,you cant train anyone but an imediate family member if i believe ..but in my gym certain people been training 4 clents at a time for 9 months n ,,they are not related , all 20yr olds being coached and trained by a 57 yr old ex body builder. named greg samuels a member there, so when you enforce a contract violation on 3-4 others thats law suit material and the last person that wsas fired and was a member was half african american . or was that the reason why this l.a. fitness doesnt hire blacks…there is too many double standards in this gym i have complained how this individual use l.a. fitness for his personal gains ..who this complaint is about…and furthermore, this gym has been a cess pool for steroids and cocaine, with 16 yr old kids all juiced up, and some of the management know all of whats going on!!!! clean this gym up this gym is stagnant and needs healthy people running it

“Working out while black…now there’s a hashtag worth tweeting!”

I ask in advance to please pardon any typos and/or misspellings.

Though I am loathe to and greatly disappointed to travel this route, it is appears that this is a path I have no choice but follow. I am a member of a LA Fitness gym in the West Houston area. I have been a member of LA Fitness for many years now and with the exception upon my relocation to Texas I have not had a problem as a member in any of the LA Fitness (Bally’s) facilities. Despite coming to the West Houston location for greater than a year…I am now being harassed and charges of training are being leveled against me…most egregious, I have been asked to come to the gym, workout and leave, and here’s the kicker, “do not talk to too many people” for I am “too social and you don’t want to give the perception that you are recruiting people. Because, perception is reality.”

The greatest irony, is that I have assisted with the retention of members, at a less than stellar facility, and have successfully encouraged up to four persons to actively seek training from those who are qualified to do so (I am always clear with my friends and others who have made that inquiry that I am indeed not and far from being such), and further I have given the sales staff leads from my personal life who I have been unable to inspire to come to the gym and “cut-up” with me and others. And, an even greater irony is being told that maybe my friends and I should go and workout at a different facility or even different gym (meaning franchise). Essentially, go be someone else’s problem–at least that is my take away!

The background relative to this charge is that since August 2014 to present, I have come to know many people (same gym and often same faces over time) and workout and have worked out with untold numbers of men and women (young and old and very few of whom are reflective of my African-American heritage/ancestry, including my son who for all intent is part and definitely looks Hispanic), consequently many are drawn to my exaggerated and off the cuff antics to motivate and humiliate (from a place of good-nature and humor) my friends old and newly familiar. By way of example when I told a friend and employee at this very facility of being harassed, yet again, he shared the following with me, just his evening: “They think you’re taking their business. You’re not asking for money, you’re not asking for anything. It’s all out of your kindness and they hate that (me).” He and others further acknowledge that this “black suit” meaning skin I am wearing does not help. And, let me add that the Whites, blacks and Latinos I have worked out with also parrot this observation, and have warned me that I would get in trouble for working out while black…now there’s a hashtag worth tweeting.

So imagine, that as I am leaving the gym, today, Tuesday, November 03, 2015, I am asked for my phone number in order that management (White) can attach a note to my account to “cover my ass, because I have talked to you before”…(meaning harassed me about working out with people aka deemed training, and talking to too many people and being too social aka being popular and likable, and not working out enough aka being lazy.

Though I am feeling, and am being harassed I am greatly disappointed by the motivation of such harassment. I am actively working to remain calm, and to regard and treat those who have approached me with respect and not drop a lot of of “F-offs” as all have suggested I do, especially in the face of overwhelming and disrespectful “old negro treatment’ from tainting my perception (remember perception is reality) of the LA Fitness franchise/brand in the West Houston, Texas area. It is unacceptable, and I do not walk alone in this vision nor version of the treatment I am receiving and the veiled venom and threats I am receiving relative to my membership and access to the facility.

I’ve been on a few blogs inclusive of posts to LA Fitness, and I found real fast the following incident, which is not dissimilar to my own experience when I was once accused in the West Houston facility of not being friends, and my son not my son because he looks Hispanic, with these guys because I am black.: “My son is african american and they even questioned that he was our son. I have never been so insulted.” So, as you can imagine. In order that this “thing”, this should be “not a thing” in 2015 from escalating I really, sincerely and genuinely, need to understand what I need to make happen to head this off at the pass. It has the potential for getting really ugly. Not what I want to have happen!

I need someone who actually has a voice within, a verifiable corporate structure of, LA Fitness to address my concerns and give me answers to some fairly basic questions. How many friends am I allowed to have (at a LA Fitness facility)? Is it envy or racial profiling? And, more importantly should I continue the dialog of working out while black at a LA Fitness gym with a broader/larger audience?

A response is requested ASAP. I choose to remain anonymous at the moment.

Respectfully submitted!

Dear Sir,

You have a such good employee who names Peter Warren at Crossroad Irvine club.
He always wants to help you customer to solve problem. I’ve been knew him for many years. I always get him for my annual renewal. Even I’m not living in your area. From his services we can feel he enjoys his job and care about his company business. You guy just so lucky has him.

Sincerely,
Crystal

I was at the Clinton Township Hall Rd & Romeo Plank Location to which I had finished my workout I see the sign posted out the sauna closed for cleaning at 5pm this has been going on since I joined December 23 2015. Then I go into the whirlpool where your janitor was putting in chemicals. While 8 other people where in there including myself. Not to mention the people after me and others got out cause we felt the chemical burning us. I even more surprised to find out this was not the first complaint on this matter. Why are you hiring these kinds of people while management is not watching them they do what ever they want? I pay monthly for the sauna and whirlpool the whole thing not to be burned by chemicals. I find it shocking this man has been caught in the past doing this and still works for you. PLEASE do something before some else is severely injured or worse killed do to such gross negligents. Thank You
