    I've belonged to LA Fitness now for 14 months. I visit regularly, and I have to say that I'm a…read morelittle surprised at all the negative reviews! Hopefully this review will change it up a little. I joined in January, 2018 and am able to visit any location. Polaris is closest, and I love their walking track and resistance weight machines. I recently started taking a water aerobics class on Thursday nights, and my dad and I also do some open swimming when classes aren't offered. I feel like for all that's available and the minimal monthly payment, there's quite a bit of bang for your buck. People keep mentioning how disgusting this place is. From what I see, it's the actual clientele who are to blame! Paper towels not making it to the trash can, machines not being wiped off after each use, etc. Pick up after yourself! But, this unfortunately happens everywhere. They do have a cleaning staff, but I'm pretty sure they are after hours. I, myself don't want someone cleaning up around me while I'm trying to workout. "Excuse me, can you move while I run this vacuum?" Anyway, they have shorter hours than other gyms, but still convenient enough. The staff is friendly and they have an app for the Apple Watch, which I think is very convenient for quick check in. There is a women's area with weight machines, for the more reserved. There is a complete schedule of fitness classes and tuition is included in your membership. There is a sauna in each locker room, and the pool is a short course, so 1/2 size to Olympic. Swimmers are always very courteous with sharing lanes to accommodate everyone. All in all, I love being a member here. I split my time between here and another gym because the amenities are different and it gives me the variety I need.

    I want to start by saying that I am an extremely passive and non-confrontational type of Customer…read more I did not go into the gym with the expectation that there was going to be an argument or especially to be berated. Last Wednesday, my friend and I signed up for the 3 day pass at your 2100 Polaris Parkway location, in Columbus Ohio. We went and were greeted by Tyler who at first introduction seemed very kind. My friend and I worked out and loved the gym. Tyler told us he would be sending up offer emails, and to expect prices to go up by Monday, as "the gym is switching back to LA Fitness." We saw this as a ploy to get us to sign up faster, but it didn't deter us from joining. The plan was to use our 3 day passes and then sign up. Tyler called me on Friday, I explained to him that I haven't had a chance to come in, but we were very interested and I would sign up through the offer email. Later that night, I attempted to sign up with my American Express card. I received an error on the next page. I retried with my routing and account information, signed the documents, and went on with my busy weekend. The following Monday (4/1) I walk in and attempt to give my phone number because I haven't received a badge. To my surprise I'm not found in their system. Tyler takes me and my friend back to his office and says that he told us to sign up within the timeframe, as prices would increase. I explain to him that I had. He then asks to check my browser history, as if I'm lying. I show him, which proves I was in fact on the website and received the error and continued to re-attempt. He continued to question my search history and stated that if my search history had shown thecorrect URL that he would have been able to honor the price. My friend and I both questioned the point of the browser history interrogation, and explained in detail exactly what happened: that I signed up, received the error, and retried, but something must have gone wrong. We asked that he please honor the price as it was a system error and not a human one. He continues to badger us, and tells me I should've come in if I had issues. Again, had I known the system wouldn't process the signup, I would've come in; it was a complete surprise that it did not process. This goes on for about 10 minutes. Where I feel he is completely chastising us, and accusing us of lying, and he offers the jump in price of $29.99. I tell him it's not about the $5 difference. It is about his treatment of us. That I'm extremely uncomfortable by the confrontation, and because of his conduct, that I'm leaving and signing up for another gym. As we are walking out, he proceeds to call us clowns and walks away. My friend and I are in disbelief. I have never in my life been treated so disrespectfully by a staff member, let alone a manager. All for voicing our concerns. I am dumbfounded and chose to walk out. Again, because I don't like confrontation. Because he called us "clowns", my friend asks to speak to the Gym manager who is on a phone call at the main front desk. She waits. All while Tyler is throwing a temper tantrum right there behind the front desk, in front of all the incoming customers, loudly complaining about the altercation and making snide comments about us, all the while my friend is still waiting for the manager and is standing right there, just two feet away, overhearing all of it. That it itself is unbelievably unprofessional. His manager, who is still on the phone with a customer, motioned for him to stop (multiple times), but he continued. This went on for 10 or more minutes. There were two other colleagues who were there and can attest to this behavior. I am appalled that someone like this is in a customer service position. A gym is supposed to feel inviting, and that's not how we felt. Our excitement for the gym quickly dissipated. I will never sign up for a membership here as long as Tyler is working there. As a gym in such a competitive environment like Columbus, there should be more thought into who you hire and who you choose to keep on. Especially with a planet fitness right across the street. My friend and I quickly crossed the street, signed up for planet fitness and had a great workout, contrary to how Tyler treated us.

    I'm not sure how it happened, but it did. The fit body I had when I was in my early twenties,…read morebefore years of abuse at my own hands through long work hours, neglectful eating, and poor overall health habits... seems to have disappeared. I don't know where I put it, all I know now is that I got to looking a little too much like a big ball of pudding. Nobody wants that. Gym trainers are one thing. I've dealt with them in the past. Expensive, and crappy. They're not as interested in you as they are in the act of blowing kisses to themselves in the mirror between sets. All you are is a means to an end. Not here. Joe and Frank are something else entirely. These fellas are completely and entirely invested in helping you reach your goals. And maybe you don't want to be Arnold, but you don't want to look like you were carved out of pudding either. They're realistic. No one-size fits all nonsense. Because you're not a cookie-cutter person, and these aren't cookie-cutter trainers. Trust me. I know. Every day I get a bit stronger, and a bit less pudding. Stop wasting time on inferior trainers. Invest your time with someone who is invested in you.

    I was so nervous for over a year to try barre as many of my friends said it would be so hard. I…read morechallenged myself yesterday and did something I felt uncomfortable with and came here with my 614 fit week pass to try it for the first time. Upon my arrival I was warmly greeted by Beth who owns the studio. There are two classrooms for barre, the first one she showed me was quite big and scenic with an outdoor view while the second was smaller. Beth explained the area a little bit and then I changed to get ready for my class with Stephanie. Stephanie was such a kind instructor and walked me through each step of the movements we were doing from the warm-up to the barre itself, I felt more confident as much as it hurt so much on my first day. I had so man helpful classmates too explain what to do when I got lost which was so nice. It's all about the movements. Those movements were small and big but they really did the job I was looking for in a fitness studio. Finally, after the 60 minutes we stretched and talked with instructor to get to know the studio and pricing a little bit. They offer a child care area but I don't need it right now. They even offered me a great discounted rate to join and I said I would think about it. If your looking for a challenging but do-able workout try barre, you having nothing to lose trying something new!
