LA Fitness Review

I recently completed a one week free trial at LA Fitness. Overall, it was a good club, but it had a few weak points.
Pros:

• Not nearly as busy as 24, so I actually got to use the equipment I wanted.
• Clean! Literally saw someone going through wiping down the machines every visit.
• Variety of classes. I tried Body Works Plus Abs, which is a step class, and man was that a workout! Even though it was mostly middle aged women in the class, I worked up a sweat and was sore the next day.

Cons:

• Gym hours. They have pretty shitty hours on the weekend, which is when I generally like to work out at odd hours.
• Separate saunas. Not that I enjoy being in a sauna with sweaty men, but I would take that over a single-sex sauna with naked old women with no shame. Nuff said.
• Sales desks RIGHT next to the cardio equipment. I felt too exposed, both while talking to the sales team and while working out.

I'd give LA Fitness a B+. Right now it seems like a good gym for Chase and I to join because it is the closest gym to our apartment, and I think we can work through the kinks. Over and out!
