We attended a one-week dance intensive, and while the classes were well-structured and one teacher accommodated our schedule. However, I must address an unfortunate incident that occurred during my recent visit that made me change my mind about joining this school. The owner, Miss Shannon, displayed aggressive and rude behavior towards me and other parents (mostly me) during pick-up time, in front of teachers and students, which made me uncomfortable and negatively impacted our overall experience. I'm concerned about potential future treatment and whether the owner and teachers will be supportive and approachable. Despite the administration's claim of a positive atmosphere, I haven't experienced this from the owner or had a positive attitude from her since the beginning of enrollment, when she wasn't welcoming at all when I arrived 10 minutes late to our initial evaluation meeting.

I loved the versatility of the group there; clearly, every culture and age was represented, which made it even more fun. This is what the doctor ordered for me since I had been in my head all day about some things. Nina was one of the most encouraging, energetic, and supportive persons for this class. She made you want to push yourself to learn the choreography steps. She also let everyone know not to take themselves seriously and enjoy the dance, which I did by the end of the class. Now, let me say that I always thought I had some moves. But Bollywood challenged me a bit--okay, a lot. I took a video, but it's for my viewing pleasure; sorry. I sent it to my girlfriends so we can book a class with Nina. Whatever you do, please do yourself a favor and book a class or try a free class to see how much fun it is and how much exercise you can get. You will not be sorry. Hats off to Nina and ZIND Performing Academy for a job well done.

I had a very unpleasant experience at this LA Fitness location recently that left me feeling…read moreembarrassed and singled out by the manager Stacy. I drove about 30 minutes out of my way that morning to attend a yoga class with Kasturi, which was wonderful and absolutely the highlight of my visit. Unfortunately, the experience I had at the front desk before the class was the opposite. I brought my sister with me as a guest as I've done since 2022. My membership allows me to bring guests, and I've done so before without any issues. However, the manager, Stacy, immediately accused us of sharing a membership. This was not true and was honestly embarrassing to be accused of in front of other people. My sister was asked to sign a liability waiver, which is completely understandable. She simply asked to read the waiver before signing it. When she asked if it could be printed so she could read it more easily, she was told that wasn't possible. When I tried to take a photo of the waiver on the screen so we could read it, I was accused of taking a picture of the staff and was told I needed to leave the gym. I've never had an experience like this at any other location since starting my membership years ago. At one point the manager became visibly angry, slamming items on the desk and aggressively pushing the check-in machine toward my sister. She was extremely aggressive and rude. I was also asked to prove that I hadn't taken photos of staff by showing my phone, which I did. Nothing inappropriate was found. The entire interaction was loud, confrontational, and very uncomfortable. I've been a member of LA Fitness for years and have never experienced anything like this at any location. I've never encountered such a lack of professionalism and display of aggression from a staff member before. Again, the yoga class with Kasturi was great and worth the drive, but the front desk interaction made the start of the visit extremely stressful and embarrassing. I hope management looks into how situations like this are handled in the future, because members shouldn't feel accused or publicly embarrassed when simply trying to check in with a guest.

From the moment we approached the desk, we were immediately accused of sharing a membership, which was completely untrue. The interaction felt confrontational right away. When I was asked to sign a guest waiver, I simply requested to read it before signing and asked if it could be printed. I was told it could not be printed. When we tried to take a photo of the waiver on the screen so I could read it more carefully, Stacy accused us of taking a picture of her and escalated the situation further. She demanded to see my sister's phone, including her recently deleted photos, despite there being no photo of her taken. I tried to assure her that "No one wanted a picture of her on their phone" but she still insisted to see my sister's personal photo archives. Once my sister showed Stacy her photo long, both recent and deleted that's was when she was finally able to move past accusing my sister of taking her photo. The exchange became loud and tense, and items were being slammed on the desk during the interaction. It felt hostile and unnecessarily aggressive for what should have been a routine guest check-in. The yoga class itself was wonderful and worth the drive, but the front desk experience was embarrassing and uncomfortable enough that it overshadowed the visit. I hope management takes steps to ensure guests and members are treated with professionalism and respect.

My two daughters have been taking the Young Musician Group Piano classes for the last two years…read more They both completed Level 1 and now are in Level 2 and Level 3. When they started they were six and seven years old. They love this piano class. Their instructor, Mr. Cobbins, is a lot of fun but also has a great attitude for teaching. He makes the class enjoyable and instructive. There are times when we have to miss the class due to scheduling conflicts, and my girls gets very sad and disappointed when they do- now, that's a great sign of how much they love this piano class! At the end of each semester, each student gets to perform their own piano recital in front of all the other students and parents. My girls loved dressing up and playing their favorite songs. My eldest daughter also attended the Academy of Fine Arts summer program, more specifically the sing dance and act sessions. I can't tell you how much she loved this program. She met new friends and had such a great time. At the end of the program, they perform a show with a combination of all three - singing, dancing and acting. I already signed her up for this summer's session!
