LA Fitness likes to work their staff more than 8 hrs a day and one day off a week, but LA Fitness does NOT pay overtime! They get away with treating their employees like dirt, and they do not follow labor laws, no breaks, no lunches...just work 14 hours shifts and then don't get paid for it! WOW! If anyone is thinking of joining a third world gym go ahead! Only the big shots make their big bucks...the employees who work the gyms are treated like dirt! LA fitness is a nest of salesmen DO NOT GO THERE, unless you want to be harrassed!

Me and my family joined the club here in Morrow GA sometime towards the end of last year. After 3 or so months we decided to cancel for personal reasons. I went to the club I signed up with to cancel and was told that it could not be done there but needed to fill out forms for each of us and mail it to a given address. I did as asked, placed all 3 forms for each of my family in the same envelope and mailed them.

You would think they would cancel all of us. But come to look at my bank statements 6 months, they are still charging for one membership. I called the gym to find out why this was continuing and was told that most likely they never received one of the cancellation. Remember all cancellations were in the same envelope. I was however told that this would be taken care of and I would not be charged any more. Come to look at my bank statement this month, I find more charges.

So here we go again. ..., I wander how many people have the same problem.

Me and my wife went to the LA Fitness on June 13, 2010, located at:

DIAMOND BAR II

20801 GOLDEN SPRINGS DR.

DIAMOND BAR, CA 91789

(909) 595-0045

Sales Rep: Michael / Mike

Height: around 180cm

Characteristic: Tattoos on his left palm.

After a short while waiting, we were introduced by a salesman named “Michael”. He then brought us to his desk on the right (from the main door) and was asked to come in and join him, so we sat down facing him and the desk.

First he asked, “So what brings you here, you looking to get skinnier, or buff like Arnold?” We laughed a little, then I asked, “Just need to know your pricing so we know how much we are talking about.”

Then he mentioned that he needs to know what our intention is so he can set up a schedule and pricing and so on, so he went on and asked to my wife, “What’s your weight? How much are you planning to lose?” then my wife shortly answered, “Oh, I’m not sure about my weight, I haven’t looked recently.”

Then I whispered to her, “Do you want me to just ask how much so we know?” She nodded.

I asked Michael again, “We just need to know the pricing, because we are doing comparison between fitness clubs and doing some thinking”, then Michael said, “So you’ve went to other clubs and what are their pricing?” I then explained, “No, we haven’t gone to any other club, in fact, we are planning to go to the 24 Hour Fitness nearby and ask them the same question.”

Then he replied, “Why don’t you go there and check it out”.

Then we both nodded, went straight out the door, without looking back, thinking in our head,

“We’ll never go back to LA Fitness again.”

So Michael, here’s your letter of promotion, “Congrats, now everyone know what you said to LA Fitness potential customers.”

My friends and I play racquetball Wed. & Fri at 8 am in Escondido's LA fitness. The courts there are always in use by both men and women Mon. Wed & Fri.

Yesterday, for unknown reasons, the facility manager (housekeeping) decided that would be a good time to clean courts, and interrupted our use. (kicked us out)

She had just cleaned one court and had taken ours, now two courts were out of use.

As long as she has worked there and before, the courts are always in use by 8:00 am and vacant on Tues. and Thurs. mornings. Why does she need to clean on those days?

About a week before, the same employee came into the womens shower area and ordered everyone out immediately, because some service needed to be performed. She didn't give anyone a courtesy warning, like, "We need to perform some repairs, please be out in 15 minutes." (The facility manager's name is Sylvia)

I've documented instances where the same accumulation of trash has been left in the cup holders of the treadmills for up to three days.

Also, about three weeks ago, I let the front desk people know about a certain treadmill not working. It still hasn't been repaired.
