This LA Fitness completely meets my needs…read more I've been coming here for nearly six years. OK, I confess there were gaps when I wasn't coming here, but should have been coming here. This facility is large, airy and clean. Gym members are chill. I come here to lift weights and use the cross-trainer. This is the best gym I have been to for an abundance of aerobic machines. Of a slight bit of concern is that in my visit yesterday, I noticed a number of the cross-trainers and bikes had Out of Order signs on them. On the other hand, the weight machines are consistently well-maintained. There's a very good selection of weight machines too. While I don't use these particular amenities, this club has a basketball court, non-coed dry sauna and pool. A Jacuzzi might be in the pool area, but I don't know since I haven't been out there. I saw a complaint in a previous review about the staff mopping the floors while the club is open. I think it is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If LA Fitness didn't clean up during the day, members would be complaining about the messiness. Personally, the cleaning doesn't bother me. Well, it's about time this morning for me to get over there and do my workout.

Was going to give two stars just because the place has a lot of equipment, but I was extremely…read moreunhappy about what transpired with me going to try use this gym. Tried signing up with the free 3 day pass to try the gym and got an email with a QR code and then was forced to set an appointment time to tour the gym which I set up. Then when I get to the gym I mentioned that I was here for a tour of the gym I had to do but they just ignored me as I stood there for a few minutes until they asked if I needed help scanning into the gym. The employees at the desk then told me that they don't actually participate in the pass program even though it listed as directly from their location's site. After reading other reviews on google it's obvious that this has been a thing for over a year where they won't honor the pass that they themselves are distributing. The employees then tell me they can get me on a full membership or a $20 day pass which isn't really a "day pass" since they don't send you anything that shows its good for the day or for the next 24 hours. It's just for you to walk in right then. Not wanting to leave and give up a chance to work out when I already drove all the way down there plus making it awkward I just agreed to get a day pass. After going downstairs I noticed that while they do have a lot of equipment around a lot of it is in disrepair or is extremely old and missing things. Attachments for cable machines just lying randomly around the floor, dumbbells strewn around everywhere, dirty wipe cloths littering the floor and draped on half the machines. The place was very dirty and they have just one poor woman trying to clean the entire gym. Even more so as a health concern there were almost no supplies to clean and wipe down equipment after use with there being only one stocked wipe dispenser in the ENTIRE gym. People aren't going to clean after themselves if you make it so difficult to do so but as a result it's just asking for ringworm transfer or something along those lines. The only water fountains are broken and don't even have the buttons you need to activate them. Vending machines broken, equipment broken, and the gym just tapes a piece of paper on the side saying "repairs scheduled." The locker room was gross and had a nasty, musky mildew smell. TLDR: The worst gym I have ever set foot in so far. I feel scammed out of my money and the whole place is in a gross state of cleanliness and disrepair. Turned me off of ever going back to a LA fitness again in the future.

Starfit is wonderful! I've been going here about 8-9 months for small group classes and personal…read moretraining. This is a very fun, supportive, and non judgmental environment. There is a lot of camaraderie and laughter. The trainers watch out for you and always have modifications ready if there is a certain move you can't do. I always walk out sweaty and tired in the best way. This has been my first experience with weightlifting. I joined up after doing a month of physical therapy for chronic pain. I was very worried about feeling pressure to go too heavy or too fast, but instead I've gotten a lot of encouragement to go at my own pace and to focus on correct form. LeeAnn is especially caring and really looks out for her clients. She listens to you and puts a lot of thought and personalization into the individual sessions based on your needs and abilities. Somehow she always knows how to keep me challenged and doing things I didn't know I could do!

It was refreshing to see how Planet Fitness has evolved since I last went there three years ago…read more This Planet Fitness is easy to find. It was very crowded there. The parking lot had a few parking spots available despite it being noon time on a week day. I like how it is conveniently located in a large shopping center with many stores, fast food places, & restaurants. Planet Fitness membership was easy to self apply for, and the staff assisted us in checking in & answering all our questions. I was impressed with how clean and well maintained the fitness center was and how updated the exercise equipment was in Planet Fitness. There were enough attached weight machines and free weights to use there. I used the hydromassage bed, the thirty minute express weightlifting station, and Total Body Enhancement (only for black card membership) on my first day at Planet Fitness. The Total Body Enhancement is a red light therapy and whole-body vibration to help improve skin health, boost circulation, and aid muscle recovery. The hydromassage bed I used was in a private room, and it was a better experience that way. Overall, it was a good experience despite the traffic and having to park far away in the parking lot.

I will be happy to remove this honest review once attention is brought to these ongoing issues,…read morebelow. Equipment is not mainted peoperly and this should be addressed more swiftly. We have been dealing with broken equipment for years but this has hit an all time low. I had to try FIVE elliptical machines to find one that didn't wobble. 3/4 of the brand new elliptical machines are wobbling. The treadmills are wobbly. The preacher bench had a rag under it so it doesnt wobble. These machines are becoming expensive coat racks. It's not the staff's fault; they are very kind and friendly. The manager or the GM really need to pay this gym some attention... or dont and just tell us you dont plan to get it fixed and I'll remove my post and find another gym. I do appreciate how much cleaner it was. Once I let the staff know about all the cat and dog hair in clumps on the ground, I see there have been improvements.

I wanted to leave a review after checking out this gym for a couple days. I was in town for the…read moreholidays - I live in Atlanta - and I happened to come across this gym after getting a day pass to work out at LA Fitness (which... ugh we don't need to talk about that). I googled it and it seemed decent, so I purchased a little three-menbership to use after Christmas. Getting the membership online was super easy, and the gym was very easy to access through the app. And the app itself is probably the easiest and most user-friendly gym app I've ever used. Points Pure Fitness! Those little cylinders get a little tight when you're entering, but you're only in there for a few seconds lol. The gym itself is a little on the smaller side, but it uses the space REALLY well. I love that they've got roadmaps of where everything is in the gym posted both outside and inside the gym, so it's very easy to find what you might be looking for. There's plenty of cardio equipment, plenty of machines, and multiple free weight areas, as well as squat racks, powerlifting platforms, Smith Machines, and a couple of bench press stations that can also double as squat racks. There's a nice little turf with sleds, battle ropes, and stationary tires. They also have a nice stretching/abs area, that also has multiple standing punching bags, which was really cool - I didn't use them on these first two visits, but I definitely will whenever I come back! The strength and cardio machines are Matrix machines, which I'm not the biggest fan of personally, but they absolutely still get the job done. And that's purely a personal preference as an experienced lifter and trainer, but it wouldn't/shouldn't inhibit anyone's experience at all. If I had to name any cons, it would probably be these two relatively minor things: -The layout takes a little bit of getting used. There doesn't really seem to be a pattern to how the machines are set up, legs and upper body machines mixed and in random places, but once you get used to it, it's fine. And the cleaning stations and trash/recycle receptacles are sometimes oddly placed, to where you may be right next to trash can, but have to walk a little ways to find a cleaning station, or vice versa. But we're all there to get a little extra cardio, too, right? Lol. (I also do appreciate that they have recycling stations, too.) -The locker rooms are mostly pretty clean, and there are plenty of showers, that mostly seem to be fairly clean, as well, and they're nice and spacious. I always shower and change after my workout, so that's appreciated. But the bathroom area was pretty filthy on both of my days there. I know that's kind of par for the course for 24-hour facilities, but on back to back days during the week, I feel like I saw the same filth spots in the bathroom area. Though on my second day, the cleaning guy was in the locker room cleaning in the afternoon, so that was great to see. And the rest of the gym seemed very clean, which I absolutely loved. Neither of these are enough to dock any stars, though. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Pure Fitness Springfield. I didn't really interact with any of the staff there, but other reviews seem to have very glowing things to say about them, so I'll take their word for it. And the trainer I saw on Friday seemed to be very engaged with his clients, which was cool. Northern VA is home for me, so whenever I come back, this will absolutely be my gym of choice. And if I ever move back long-term, I will definitely sign up for a full long-term membership and make this my home gym. Thanks for a great experience, and I'll be recommending you to all of my friends and family in the area! :)

At this point I have been frequenting gyms and other fitness-related locations for the last 10…read moreyears. Some are basic, some are over-the-top, and some hit the Goldilocks spot. When I walked into the Alexandria location of Anytime Fitness about a year ago, it was just because I was tired of the packed-house scene at LA Fitness, and it was just around the block from my house. What I did not know at that time was that I was about to engage with the most productive training staff I have ever had the pleasure to work with. My fitness goals are often related to the sports-related activities I participate in, and I was not shy about letting them know what exactly I was looking for. I have now had the most productive year of training I have had since I was playing organized sports. That's not all. The crew might be some of the friendliest, most down-to-earth, attentive and educated people I have ever worked with. I've watched them tailor their programs to those new to the process, and load up on people like myself, who were looking for a little bit more. To a certain degree, it is like working with professional physical trainers that you would find on professional athletic teams, but without the intimidation and with all the acceptance and openness any client could want. Every class is a real pleasure, and there's not one session that isn't filled with friends and laughter. I've made friends with neighbors I wouldn't have met otherwise, and I look forward to every session. It's easy to fall in to their routine, and challenging enough to keep me wanting more. If you're looking for the type of experience that will change your attitude on personal fitness, or wanting that next level of intensity, Anytime Fitness Alexandria is the place for you.

I've definitely met a lot of people that really love it, which is great. Finding an activity you can stick with is the key! I'd have given more stars, but there are a few things that I wish were different: - It's loud. It's so, so, so loud. I wear earplugs, and even with the earplugs, my tinnitus is roaring after class. I basically flee the building as soon as I can. - Cramped. I wish there was more than 2-3 ft of space per person. People adjust sideway or move around to make it work, but it's weirdly cramped. The instructors are fine. Not much correction or assistance, IME. There's not any gym-chat (maybe partly because it's so loud it'd be very difficult to talk to others). Everyone I've been in classes with seem unwilling to interact. So, not a social/CrossFit-like option. If I could find a good weightlifting class anywhere else, I probably would give up going because of my sensory sensitivities, but for now, it's an okay option.

You see the same friendly faces everyday welcoming you through the front door. The machines are all well kept and maintained . The layout is pretty nice based on the room dynamics. As a female who hate to do booty workouts in the middle of everyone, I LOVE that there is a separate semi private stretching area. Even ab workout machines are there - nice when you are a shy person . The only downside and why I take a star off would be the fact there are repeated machines where they could have something different (but at least there are 2 of each machine or so) & the shower/changing area needs a bit more frequent cleaning .
