LA Fitness

Don’t bother with this LA Fitness on Kirkman Road in Orlando. Some of the staff are rude and obviously poorly trained. I visited this gym with a friend who thought he had guest privileges. He didn’t. So I paid the daily fee. When they learned I wouldn’t buy a membership they became very surly. So much so my friend complained to the manager. Later I had another friend meet me there to go somewhere together. He walked in before I was ready to leave. They were rude to him too when he said he didn’t want a membership.
Expect high pressure sales tactics. I know their prices are high because I inquired about membership once. There are better gyms to join.

Yup. 1 STAR– yea it’s VERY important to have at least some mediocre customer service when dealing with me.
CHAZ — who I had an apt with today at 10:00am for my fitness assessment decided that he wanted to have fun on his computer for 40mins instead of coming to his appt with me.
NO BUENO
Then he sends his flunky over to smooth things over with me and and says «Chaz will see you now…»
Bwahahaha!
TF this guy thinks he is? I politely told the flunky nope– mr Chaz had his chance and he was inconsiderate of my time and that’s very rude in my eyes!
Hence, the reason why I’m here on Unilocal.If you come to this location — stay clear of the meat-​head who is 90% veins and ego as big as the gym itself. #Chaz

Nice newish gym, but horrible location. You have to fight to find a parking spot. I have had a friend who had his windows smashed while working out and another who caught someone cutting the padlock off of his locker. Need to come up with a plan for safety.

Is it a gym? Yup
Does it have equipment for you to get a workout in? Yup
Is it over-​crowded? sometimes
Does it need more caring professional workers? Absolutely
Are there literal monkeys there that are dumber than a fucking rock who can’t put their weights back and hog machines like chode chomping butt nuggets? Absolutely. But every gym I’ve ever been to has idiots working out at it.
I always call out people that walk away from a machine without re-​racking weights. And you should put your shit back where you found it, if you don’t everyone hates you and I hope you shit yourself while on the treadmill and it gets everywhere and everyone laughs at you. I hope your nickname then becomes shit stain, and that’s all you are ever remembered for, in fact I hope it says it on your tombstone.
I come in here with my headphones in, and ready to work out, I don’t need a good customer experience when I walk in or else I’m in a bad mood, I couldn’t care less honestly, if your only job is to sit at the front desk and scan barcodes and wear yoga pants and flirt with the tight shirt jocks up front, (well it seems like that’s part of your job description) Then whatever, just scan me in so I can go navigate the jungle that is the gym. (see what I did there? jungle gym)
It’s convenient, enables me to attempt to reach my fitness goals, and that’s all it’s supposed to do. Serves its purpose I guess.
This is the most bland review I’ve ever written.

This place is an absolute JOKE. The staff never takes pride in cleaning the place. I’ve been there at very open of the day and at night at no time has the dumb bells been properly replaced in their correct places. Granted, the people working out have a responsibility to put their equipment away, but when I see the little «Caucasian» trainer in his «huge» 130 lb frame strutting around with his extremely small shirt doing nothing but flapping his gums and working on his invisible lat syndrome, pisses me off. On top of that, the «African American» trainer (I extremely apologize because I didn’t learn their names) takes his $ 9 an hour position to seriously when I’m the only one in the gym and he’s kicking me out of the personal training area because I was using their rowers and kettle bells. Maybe if they fixed the rowers in the cardio area we wouldn’t have that problem. This place is fucking trash. Go to 24 hour fitness downtown.

A new LAF that has plenty of new equipment and clean facilities. The staff members were easy to deal with and I saw cleaning staff on site every visit so far. I would say parking here can be very difficult with all the restaurants in the area, but that’s nothing the gym can control.

They could not have picked a worse location for this gym. Right dead center in the middle of about 10 popular restaurants. Nowhere to park no matter what time of the day you go there. The equipment is all cheap and already a lot of it was broken only a month or so after they opened. As crowded as this place gets, they still keep a big chunk of area blocked off for their personal training area that no one ever uses.

Solid gym. Definitely satisfied my workout needs and lived up to the LA Fitness standard.
I liked that it wasn’t very crowded when I went, even thought it was 6 pm. It was very easy to find the equipment I wanted.
There were a couple of downsides though. While the locker room was clean, there was hair all over the shower. Maybe I just, by chance, showered right after Cousin It or a Yeti.
Also, the location is really tricky. The traffic in the surrounding area is terrible after work, and the parking lot is a mess. I was practically stalked on my way out of the building by eager gymgoers seeking a parking spot. The gym could definitely use a bit more parking.
This gym is worth visiting if you already have an LA Fitness membership and need to squeeze in a workout while you’re in that area.

It’s really nice… but they need more cleaning stations after the use of equipment. I think if the other gym can have cleaning stations and enforce it remembers so should they. I don’t want to wipe off any one else to sweat before using the equipment.

This location is much smaller and more compact than Im used to. If you plan to work out after work, like most people, be warned that this location is EXTREMELY packed! I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a gym that is so crowded. And even worse, the parking lot is ridiculous. Please factor in trying to find a parking space into the time that you plan to spend here.
The facility itself is nice, pretty clean. The staff is a hit or miss. On my first visit I encountered a very friendly staff member, but after my guest pass expired and I was trying to make a decision on whether I wanted to continue here, I encountered a VERY rude personal trainer and I almost left the gym entirely. If it had not been for a friend of mine who wanted me to work out with her, and a membership specialist who tried to overcompensate for his co-worker’s attitude, that day would have easily been my last.
Im just not a fan of this place at all and have already returned to former gym :)

It’s a pretty standard LA Fitness with weights, cardio, and basketball court too. Unlike most LA Fitness locations the Dumbbells are in 2.5lb increments which is nice if you want just a little more weight. However, the Dumbbells were completely out of order. I’ve never seen so many weights placed in such horrible order. It took me forever just to find he 30lb weights. Besides the weight issue, it’s the same old LA Fit was that you’ll find all over the country.

The gym is ok… I wish they had later classes because of my work schedule I can never make the classes. This site actually isn’t that big I would probably prefer the one in Windermere. And I don’t like the glass walls around the pool area.

Hope I can give zero star. Worse costumer service ever! Join the club and the personal training program… DON’T DO IT… That’s all.

First off let me start by saying that I have just recently moved to to Florida. I started attending LA Fitness in January after I got settled in. I have since then been checking out different facilities around me. This facility was the 5^th one that I have visited in the past couple of months and by far the worst experience out of them all. When I walked inside I was greeted with frowns and stares from the front desk but not a single word. I approached a young lady, said «hey how are you» and then extended my membership card to get in. She quickly (without making eye contact) snatched my card, swiped it, and then threw onto the counter top. All this while my hand was still extended to receive it back and she never looked up, even for a second. I talked with a supervisor after because I so bothered by her lack of professionalism. He basically tells me that she’s having a bad day because the computers were acting up, like that justifies her actions. I felt like I wasn’t wanted in that gym and like I wasted my time to come and check it out. Other than the rude staff. The gym was very clean and all the equipment looked brand new but I still felt like it was missing some things. At times I felt lost but, that could have been because I was in a new environment. Either way I will never step foot back inside that gym again.

The facility is nice and clean. The equipment is well kept. Now for the rest… this location just recently opened. As of so far, most of the staff I have come across lacks attentiveness and are fairly rude. (I stress the word «most» because not everyone is that way) the lack of professionalism and care for their members is a BIG downfall for this particular facility. Tonight Yoga a group of people and myself waited in silence in the group class room for about 30 minutes just to find out that they couldn’t reach the instructor, Nadia, and that class would not be held. A big thank you to Nadia from all of us for your lack of communication for your unexplained absence. Some of us have a routine we like to stick to/​if you were to be absent it would be nice to know so that we may attend class at another facility. This gym is a great quick fix, but needs to shape up or ship out!
