LA Fitness

It had been a while since I stepped in a gym. I chose LA fitness over Gold’s because it seemed more cleaner based on past experience at another club than Gold’s which was where I used to go to. I was given a blue voucher for a free session with a trainer upon signing up for my membership. The sales associate Isaiah was laid back and cool. I had an appointment with L A (the trainer) given at no ask. He was nice over text prior and on my first day doing the fitness assessment and workout. He went over pricing with me but I let him know I would think it over. All the pricing would be more apparently if I waited and didn’t sign up for additional sessions right then and there on the spot. His whole attitude changed. He talked to me like I owed him a favor when I let him know I wasn’t interested at the time. I’ve had two trainers before in the past and never had luck because of unreliability from them. He asked me what I was going to do to meet my goals and I told him. He then talked down to me and said I was going to do what he told me not to like I was illiterate. I probably would’ve consider doing a few more sessions had he not been so persistent. It was just a turn off afterwards and discouraging. Nobody should leave a gym feeling like that, especially a new member. Might just go to another location in Austin even though it’s more further from where I live than this location.

I love this location. The setup and openess is great!! Here is one of my concerns. I walk in and they didn't even check my temperature or anyone else's temp. This is concerning. I appreciate the sanitize bottles which is provide as option to use to clean before or after using equipment. It kinda defeats the purpose if you not checking temperature. I seen the other locations have been checking temperatures, so I don't understand why this location isn't being consistent with the process.

The gym and staff are nice. This is not about the location, equipment or staff. I am irritated because I wanted to cancel my gym membership because I am switching to CrossFit for a while. I have a LA Fitness membership because it’s 3 minutes from my house and a Golds membership because a lot of my friends go there. I decided I wanted to cancel both of my gym memberships while I tried CrossFit. There is a likelihood I will get another membership eventually. When I tried to cancel my membership with LA, they make you snail mail a cancellation form to California corporate. They refuse to do it in the gym. When I canceled Golds, they were did it immediately and were very polite about it. Long story short, when I do get another membership, it will be with Golds only because they didn’t make me mail in bs letter. Great move. Now you lost me for life and I can almost guarantee I would have come back because of the convenience.

Cons: it has outdated water fountains, newer locations have fountains with a water dispenser for bottles. The AB WHEELS have been MISSING for over a month.nnPros: This location is never packed, AC is at a comfortable temperature, water is nice and hot in the shower, clean gym, Not too many dudes walking around the locker with their weiners out.

I highly recommend this LA Fitness location in RR. I have been using this location for over a year now. This location deserve an award for cleaningness, and very friendly staff. I forgot to wear mask one day and I was provided one by receptionist. Weights are always racked up and many choices of Elliptical machines, Stationary bike, Treadmills and much more..
