My experience with LA Fitness ultimately led me to cancel my membership despite being satisfied…read morewith the actual personal training. I was paying more than $200 per month when my personal training package and other membership amenities were included. Unfortunately, I experienced repeated issues with the overall gym environment, including interactions with staff members that I felt were disrespectful and included offensive remarks as I passed by. I brought my concerns to management more than once, but eventually reached the point where I no longer felt comfortable continuing to pay that amount of money in an environment where I could not simply focus on my workout in peace. I ultimately spoke with management and a regional manager about ending my agreement. They did work with me somewhat on the cancellation cost and reduced the amount by approximately $200, but I still paid more than $300 to get out of the contract. I want to be fair and say that the personal training itself was very good. My reason for leaving was not the quality of the training. It was the overall environment and my feeling that, for what I was paying, I should have been able to expect a consistently professional and respectful experience. For me, the biggest lesson from this experience is that I will no longer enter into long-term gym contracts. I now prefer month-to-month memberships so that if the environment or service does not meet my expectations, I have the ability to leave without paying hundreds of dollars to get out of an agreement. When someone is investing this much money in their health and fitness, they should be able to come into the gym, work out, and leave without unnecessary problems. That was ultimately what I was looking for, and unfortunately I did not feel I was receiving it here.

Friendly, clean environment. Lots of classes to partake in. Such a great asset to the Falls!read more

I wanted to wait at least a month before giving The Natatorium a review. I have worked out over 25…read moretimes at this facility since I joined in the middle of December. So, I have been a member of many gyms over my lifetime. I use to live in LA and have been a member at high end gyms all the way to your middle of the road. The same goes for here in NE Ohio. I will honestly say I am very happy with The Natatorium. The customer service I have received has been great, the gym and locker room has always been clean, the equipment has always been functioning properly and the people have been pretty cool making it a great environment to get a good workout in. I really love the fact that this facility has a wide array of machines, free weights, Hammer Strength equipment, basketball and racquetball courts. I also love that there are many stations where you can squat and also a place to deadlift which I have found in the past has been frowned upon in some gyms. Another plus is the fact this facility has an upstairs with tons of cardio equipment, an ab area and a track that you can choose to walk or run. Just pay attention to the lane that you are suppose to be in and the direction it changes daily. I almost forgot about the steam room and the pool area if you want to take a dip or swim some laps. When your workout is done you can buy some smoothies, sandwiches, coffee and açaí bowls at Sandy Bottom Bowls. I have purchased a few items and they have been pretty darn good. My favorite is the PB@A Bowl. Make sure you get one of the cards and get it stamped at every purchase. I believe after 10 items you get a free bowl. So far I am very happy with The Natatorium and look forward to many more epic workouts. Thanks!

I'm so pleased with these people here both staff and other members. I'd recommend this place for people who are post-partum, Fitness Enthusiast, and everyone in between. They cater the workouts to where you are now and have the best techniques for motivating you. If you're looking for a way to boost your speed, agility, power, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular output, this is the place for you. If you play sports and need that push that your coaches can't give you and you're in the Akron area, make a trip ASAP.

The best way for me to sum it up is that I've never been a morning person, and now I look forward to the 6am class.

If you want to be healthier than before, and be part of a community that genuinely supports your efforts, c'mon over. You'll like it here.

Not only that, but the equipment, the cleanliness, and the overall merry attitude of the staff had me affected once or twice. When I had first started working out, I'd asked for help with my form from a mean looking jacked staff member, who in turn, with great class and charima, helped get my row right. Matthew is the man. Not only that, but to this day, every interaction I've had with with the front desk members has had left me with either a lesson, or a positive impact on my being.

I don't expect child care, or other offerings for kids, but it would be nice to have a family pass so we can all get some exercise together. If you have kids of any age, stick with the YMCA.
