Again - unprofessional and not what I would expect from a business owner and someone who is a supposed professional!!! If you wanna "drink the kool aid" and do the same crap on the bike over and over again!, cuz that's their boring ass format - than go there and pay ridiculous money for a class profile that's used over and over again. If you want a super challenging ride, with creativity, real cycling, and a great challenge - find a real spin instructor with a racing background, or road cycling background, and have a blast.

I loved the sweet welcome note on my locker. Someone also came up to me on my bike to check in and make sure I'd gotten my bike set up ok. The class format was exactly what I'm used to - perfectly challenging with a great playlist. The only downside is that the bikes don't have holders for the arm weights. The studio emailed me after the fact to thank me for visiting (it seemed personalized, not automated?). Great experience!

I've been a member for about five weeks now. I wanted to wait to write an informed review…read more Cost: It's comparable to Planet Fitness. About $27/monthly and $50 annual fee. App: Nothing useful (can't sign up for classes, as an example) except for scanning your membership card on arrival. Amenities: Three lane pool. Functional. Equipment: I've yet to use a cardio or weight machine that needs servicing or calibrating. I've not seen any that were out of order. They could use additional cable tv stations - there are about four total. They have a wide range of free weights, benches, and weight machines. Cleanliness: Here's where they fail. The women's bathroom (not locker room) is old an consistently dirty. I've seen grossness left for a couple of days before it was cleaned up. The gym floor is obviously not swept or vacuumed regularly, either. ALSO: The spray bottles of sanitizer are often missing, empty, or filled with water in lieu of actual sanitizing spray. The paper towels were empty for two consecutive days. Environment: Zero fans over the treadmills, but plenty over the weights area - this makes no sense. And there have been days where the gym itself has been fairly hot. I normally like to work out very early in the morning and then head to the office, but the women's locker room is is hot and HUMID - fine for a Saturday or Sunday, but I can't shower, dry my hair, and put on client-appropriate clothing and not be a giant sweaty mess afterwards. (I should note here that Planet Fitness did just fine in this aspect - they didn't skimp on the AC.) Classes: Don't bother with the spin classes. The bikes are bare-bones and old. I went to a yoga class (one of the few on the schedule) and I couldn't hear a thing over the AC and the basketball court (which shares a wall with the yoga studio). The instructor was nice enough, but didn't use any of the appropriate terminology for the poses and didn't make any form corrections during the class. So I was stuck craning my neck watching what she was doing so I could mimic her. It wasn't a bad class, overall, but you REALLY need to be able to hear an instructor during yoga - craning your neck while trying to achieve a pose is a good way to hurt yourself. She provided options for beginner, intermediate, and advanced students, which was great. I will try another class or two. The staff is overall friendly and responsive. Is it worth it? Sure - at this price point. Would I pay more for more amenities, etc. YES! The last major city I lived in I paid about $140/monthly, and that included towel service, a monthly locker fee, and a slew of classes including martial arts. I get that this place is an economy version of LA Fitness - if LAF were closer to my office, I would've opted to sign up there instead.

I recently joined Healthfit Sarasota. I'm not yet a Senior, but I also felt highly intimidated when…read moreI went to other clubs that just didn't really lead you around and it were so filled with people that were fit that I felt a bit out of place. This gym set me up right from the start with a trainer to show me the equipment and run a diagnostic on me to show me my fat / water ratio and set a baseline for me. I decided that I liked Becky and set up several training sessions as I was just starting and felt I would need some assistance at the beginning. I did do 8 sessions and it's gone great. I will be on my own after two more, but I now have more confidence in what I can achieve and a better understanding of what I need to do. Equipment is great and they offer a good variety of machine style equipment and free weights. If you're just starting, I recommend going for a trainer if you can do it. It makes a big difference. Yes, the crowd is older, and there are some in rehabilitation, but I've yet to have a problem getting on equipment and everyone is polite and nice. I'm not surrounded by a ton of physically fit athletes, but I'm not intimidated and it's encouraged me. I had done a water aerobics class which was fun and you really get a workout. I plan on trying some others, but I know I can only do evening ones. Unfortunately, my work ours are such that the day classes are not for me. IF you really want to do classes, I'd review that part as it may not be for you. If you want to do some aerobic equipment and weight lifting equipment and get in and out of a gym and feel like the equipment is well made, I would say this is a great gym for you. The women's locker rooms are nice and clean. Showers are well built with privacy area. Hot tub is really nice and lap pool is gorgeous and big. I'm buying swim fins to try and do laps next. Lots of amenities which I like that a lot of other places don't have like the size of this pool.

The facility itself is nice but it is impossible to cancel membership. I got a new debit card and…read morethey forgot to update that info in my account (even though they used the info for last months payment) so this morning after calling to cancel, 6 hours after the payment was due, they already charged me a $23 late fee. When I tried to cancel they said that it would cost me $150 so instead I had to "freeze" my account and pay $88 for last months payment, a late fee, and a maintenance fee. I've never felt the need to negatively review a business before but I just can't believe how difficult and expensive this has been made for me, I would've never signed up if I knew.

Another woman placed her belongings down next to a machine to reserve it for herself for AFTER she was finished with the machine she was working on. I contacted the corporation via email and they said they would put signs up to stop people from reserving equipment but there were never signs put up. I joined this club and paid the extra $30 compared to another club that charges only $10 a month so that I could go in the pool and the Jacuzzi as it helps my pain. The last time I went to the Jacuzzi there were five or six old men sitting in the tub and one of the men was very threatening telling me that everyone took their shoes off before going into the Jacuzzi and I did not (I had flip flops). I wondered, were these losers kicked out of their senior communities? Why were all of these men there at the same time? When I started at the club there was a younger crowd and I liked the fact that I wouldn't have to use my parent's senior community jacuzzi and be hassled by mean old people there. This corporation is doing nothing to improve the club. It's going downhill. It makes me wonder if they're trying to make members want to leave so that they can bring new members in and charge higher fees.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!! THIS IS A RIPOFF SCAM UNSCRUPUOUS FITNESS CLUB operated by the…read moremanager, John B., who is an abject failure as a human being. This LA Fitness branch defrauds elderly clients without compunction. Quick summary: My 80-year-old mother canceled her membership in person in October 2025, and she has not been back since. This can be confirmed. However, LA Fitness continued to bill my mother through July 2026, until I noticed the monthly charges were ongoing. (Moreover, their monthly charge actually went up!) When I asked my mother about it, she told me she had already canceled her membership almost a year ago. She spoke with Cody, to whom she would bring coffee wherever she went to work out, and he took care of it - canceling her membership. My mother, therefore, had no idea why she was still being charged when I confirmed that LA FITNESS was still charging her. We live in different states, so I told her she had to go back to LA Fitness, cancel in person, and get a refund. Simple, right? My mother had to go there twice, and once with an elder advocate to make sure they finally canceled her membership and to get her refund. Smooth sailing, right? Nope. It was to no avail. This POS, John B., refused to reimburse my 80-year-old mother for 10 months of fraudulent charges (that were inexplicably increasing!). The person who handled my mother's membership, Cody, should have canceled it at her request in October, but he no longer works there. If John B. were a normal manager or even a merely functioning human being, he would correctly assume it was Cody's error, and LA Fitness would issue her a prompt refund. Manager John B knows by glancing at his computer that my elderly mother has not been back to LA Fitness since October, confirming her account that she told Cody to cancel her membership. A normal person, let alone a manager at LA Fitness, would apologize for the gratuitous charges and inconvenience to my mother and politely refund the charges for 8 months. Not you, John B. No Refund. No apology. No explanation. You make your own parents and family proud, my man. Please, snicker in disgust when you see Johnny Boy.
