Parker W.

Standard La fitness. I've never had issues getting a treadmill and rarely weights. If you're coming to swim here, it's horrendous. They've leased out the pool to a swim school that takes up 2/3 lanes at every reasonable time of the day. Everyone else who wants to swim in between these times are forced into small blocks and it's almost impossible to get a lane.

It's a shame. I was a member of LA Fitness 10/12 years ago and nothing has changed while I was gone. Same equipment, same dark, gloomy environment especially the pool! Yuck!

Jonathan (?) is cleaning EVERY sq ft of this group class...

Ok - I've got to admit that the only reason this club was a signature (before) is the location and towels. Used to be filthy and unorganized with some rude or pompous employees. Now, front desk peeps are friendly, and one of the workers (pretty sure his name is Jonathan) works his butt off to keep things EXTRA tidy! Best worker / cleaner they have in the entire LAF network! HE & his work ethic makes this club a signature . Couple days ago, he was scrubbing around the hot tub, today he's mopping every sq inch of the group class area! Takes pride in his work (vs it being a miserable chore) and it shows! LAF Tampa Dale Mabry sets the bar for a 5-star rating, but this place is much improved. One thing they could work on, is the trainers setting the example by putting their weights back & unracking when they're done with a machine.

On the one hand, the gym has a great variety of equipment and a friendly staff, which can make for a positive workout experience. Additionally, the aquatic center is likely a nice feature that provides a unique exercise option. However, on the other hand, the gym could use some updating and maintenance. The gym feeling like it's been left in the 90s. It's poorly maintained, rather dirty, and smelly, and detracts from the overall experience. Overall, La Fitness of Windermere has some good qualities, but there is also major room for improvement.

Sauna floor missing tile and what appears to be black mold.

Unfortunately, the Windermere LA Fitness suffers from poor management. -Poor cleaning and sanitation-everywhere -Poor machine management-can't find handles and weight pegs -Poor attitudes -Poor teenage management- it's a hang out with teens mulling around the whole gym -Extremely poor sanitary conditions in the sauna, restrooms, locker room and showers LACK OF CLEANLINESS AND HYGIENE: -Dirt caked on stair -Dirt sitting below most machines and benches -Filthy urinals and floors around urinals -Often no paper towels -Often no soap in soap dispensers -Really nasty sauna with 1/2 inch of cake/baked stuff between the wood slats of the seats -What appears to be black mold on the sauna floor -Missing floor tile in the sauna -The floor drain in the sauna is about 1/2 inch higher than the floor so that the floor cannot be properly sanitized (per the person that does it) -No fresh air vents in the sauna (Google it) -Women routinely working in the men's area It is pretty obvious that they have no professional cleaning taking place after hours. Completely mismanaged and unsanitary.

They charged me after I canceled.

Stefan the manager was extremely rude. There is a billing issue ($280 monthly charge continues even though I canceled) that I called about and he was absolutely incompetent in handling this call. Instead of hearing me out he said he wanted to get to the end of the conversation and told me he would not help me. I know other staff at the gym and reached out, they told me he is known for poor customer service. Because he was so rude and said many personal things, I am telling my friends and family to avoid this gym, and especially Stefan. The specific issue was that I canceled in December. They sent me several emails asking me to join again. Then they continued to charge me $280 for nothing. Stefan said this was my own fault because I asked to cancel my membership but I did not ask to cancel my training. He was the one who arranged this in December. I asked if I could use my training and he said no because they canceled my membership. In other words he had arranged things so I would be charged for nothing. And he called me stupid for not understanding this. This is an absolute scam. I'll include screenshots below.

Great for what you pay for but if your looking for specific equipment you should probably go find an exclusive non franchise gym.

1st time at a signature. Give me more detail on the difference please?

Free towel service. Free admission to all LA Fitness locations. Nicer facilities. Racquet ball and basketball courts. Swimming pool. Definitely worth the difference in cost.

I started working out there with a personal trainer 18 months ago and later started taking group fitness classes and Pilates. I find all the instructors to be highly trained and skilled with a deep passion in understanding my individual needs and goals. With their guidance, I've been able to achieve my strength training goals. I get a lot of personal attention, excellent advice on nutrition and healthy habits and constant encouragement and motivation to keep me on track. There are a wide variety of group fitness classes that I enjoy taking. The instructors make the classes fun and exciting and I've made many great friends along the way. In particular, I enjoy the kettlebell class to keep my heart rate up as well as the yoga class to keep me calm and grounded. I'm glad that I found Zero Gravity Fitness and I would encourage anyone seeking personalized and hands on help in achieving their fitness goals to give them a try.

Everyone that struggles with fitness know how hard it can be to do it on their own. The hardest part for me was admitting I needed help. I had a good friend take me to Zero Gravity for a buddy workout. The next day I signed up. I realized this was the gym for me and this will be my final stand to take back my health. I needed help. Thanks to zero Gravity and my trainer Leo I've lost over 50 pounds. There's no shortage of support here from other members to other trainers. This is just a great gym with great people that will care about you. I don't normally write reviews but I hope this can help kick start someone's fitness at Zero Gravity. Hopefully this can help you like my friend did for me years ago.

visited this WinterGarden LA Fitness several times. Today the area was decorated to celebrate…read more9/11. It was very very nice and tastefully decorated. I have been very impressed with this gym over the last year or so. They have been keeping the gym very clean and promptly attending to any little complaints. This last year and a half has shown a great improvement over previous years. Probably has something to do with the front manager lady "Dani". She is so very helpful and very pleasant. If you take a problem to her, she gets it handled fast or gets intouch with someone who can fix the problem. I think she is the reason that this establishment is flourishing at this time. I have noticed that the establishment is so much cleaner since she has been there. I guess if you hire the write people, things get done!

Other than that, it has everything you'd look for in a gym (well, at least for the majority of things). The people who go here are often, if not always kind to talk to and friendly. It just depends on who you talk to. The reason why I gave this gym a 3/5 stars is because yes, there are many things it could have to give a better experience to new members within the gym. Overall, it's an OK gym with an OK spot where it currently stands at.

I was referred to Smart Fitness by Dr. Larissa Bravo in late 2022. She was doing physical therapy…read moreon my back and I mentioned I had been diagnosed with osteopenia (the precursor to osteoporosis - low bone density) Summer of '21. I told her I was taking extra calcium and other supplements and doing a regular weight training routine at home. She was very direct and said that won't help. You need to be loading. ..."if you weigh 130 pounds, you need to load your bones with 546 pounds to build bone. When we stand, gravity applies a load to our bones equals our body weight. Walking briskly increases load, running or jogging adds even more load, but it is higher impact activities like jumping or strength training that is needed to meet 4+ times body weight." from American Bone Health I have osteoporosis in my family. I started testing at age 50 with the first bad result at 53. My fear is many women may already have this issue, but have no clue. Also if they know they are probably following the incorrect advice I was given. "Eat more calcium, walk, lift weights..." In short I needed to start lifting a lot more than my 10lbs weights at home. This will not increase bone density or slow down the decrease that happens with age. If possible, I needed to safely lift more than my body weight. Enter Smart Fitness January 2023: I started working with Jonathan and told him my goals. He was realistic and said most tests are done once every two years for a reason, but they could definitely get me stronger and working towards some real loading. I am grateful for Dr. Bravo's recommendation. My strength noticibly improved over a few months. After 6 months friends started to notice I looked better, stronger. Just last week, ( after 8-9months) I lifted 20lbs more than my body weight!! All the coaches are professional nice and most importantly know what they are doing! I had to be careful of re-injuring my back, and I've had no injuries or strains (that I usually get working alone in a gym). Smart Fitness has zero gym bunnies. Everyone is supportive. There is free water, fruits and nuts. Also Josie Lambert offers message therapy. Lastly, the gender neutral bathroom is always clean. You don't get that at your average gym.
