charging my bank account monthly membership after cancelling my membership

I called several times last year to cancel my membership and they have a policy that you have to walk in the gym for cancellations and I told them Im far away. Finally they told me I can do it on their website. I have cancelled my membership since December of last year and they are still taking out monthly payments out of my bank.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience , went to cancel membership and got bullied by the menager and employee and they started clapping saying “ yay she is leaving , then they wanted to charge me triple the amount I owe them and when ask for them to show me they refused and just changed and said it’s just one month , then they kept bullying and I decided to record for my protection and they threatened to beat me up and the menager snatched the phone from my hand , it was horrible , after I got charged they refused to give me a receipt telling me to come the day after while my bank account showed the charge was taken , worst experience of my life almost got jumped and got severely bullied and assaulted by menagment , don’t trust them with your money nor should you trust them with your safety and funny after I contacted corporate and send the video of the attack they just did nothing so I reported corporate entirely . Terrible don’t go there .

Worst management I've ever seen in 12yrs

Worst management I've ever seen in 12 yrs. Shoneika and Ana are totally incompetent managers. Shoneika is incredibly rude. Dirty place. Equipment is mismanaged. Skip it there are better gyms.

LA Fitness Needed in Prescott

I have belonged to a gym for most of life. In my earlier years, extreme fitness. I have had so many different gym memberships based upon the proximity to where I resided. At times, I had multiple gym memberships, and I worked at a gym in college.LA Fitness, has the Best equipment hands down of any other gym in the state. They are the only chain gym that I know of that has an indoor pool, saunas, indoor racquetball courts, and a lot of them even have indoor basketball courts. Their cardio equipment is the best in the industry. Their weight lifting machines are exceptional. The free weights are great too! A lot of LA Fitnesses also offer Yoga, and Zumba classes free of charge for their members.My only negative is that you Don’t have One Gym in Prescott. Prescott is large enough for a LA Fitness and believe me we need it! I am stuck here with sub par gyms. 😵‍💫

Print the contract; don't sign it real-time

If you are thinking about starting an LA Fitness membership, please have the saleman print your "potential" contract out for you to read all of the fees before you sign it. Do not sign it realtime sitting there in the club on your iphone, their screen, or ipad. Get them to print it out and read it. Furthermore, do the same at other clubs to compare BEFORE you commit. For LA Fitness, upon sign up, you have a) $99 intiation fee with tax; b) first and last month fees, c) an annual due now of an additional $59 per person due upon your contract start date each year d) and then the monthly fee for just that club - you can't go to other clubs; and e) They insist that each member has their own email address so that if the main member cancels, LA Fitness can continue to charge for each member separately. (Each member has to create an account using their individual email and cancel their membership themselves). LA Fitness customer support doesn't refund anything because it's "in the contract". Note: If you cancel, you have to cancel before that annual start date to save that $59 per person a year annual fee. 1 day after, and you can't get it refunded.

I signed up for a 1-year membership

I signed up for a 1-year membership in the Norwalk CT LA Fitness Center on Monday 1/12/26 to continue my physical therapy for a reattachment of a quadriceps tendon. I was promised a call that day or the next day to schedule an appointment with a trainer to instruct me on how to use the equipment for the workout prescribed by Coastal Orthopedics. No call. So, I went back to LA Fitness the following Monday and asked for help. The best they could do was take my name and number again and promise a call that afternoon or the next day. No call. So, I went back to LA Fitness on Wednesday 1/21/26 asking again for help. No one available, but if I would leave my name and number again, someone would call me later that day or the next day... to set up an appointment for the following week! I cancelled my membership.

Extremely surprising and disappointing …

Extremely surprising and disappointing experience at the Gulf Center location in Naples, Florida. From my initial interaction to my departure, what I encountered was a shocking example of how not to operate a fitness club.When I arrived, I explained that I was interested in joining and wanted to use the 3-day trial advertised on that location’s website. Steven immediately told me to “go sit” in his office—an unprofessional, abrupt “greeting” to say the least. He then informed me that this location only offers a 1-day pass due to renovations. When I noted that the Gulf Center location’s own webpage advertises the 3-day trial, he dismissed it and repeated that it wasn’t available.From the start, Steven’s demeanor made it clear he didn’t want to assist me. He even commented that his “whole day has been dealing with difficult people.” Ouch. When I said I didn’t feel I was being difficult for expecting an advertised promotion to be honored, he replied that he was just doing what head office told him and didn’t want to get in trouble because he had been yelled at all day. This is not an appropriate conversation to have with a prospective member.After a quick workout, I thanked the young man at the front desk who was slumped over the counter on his cell phone. He only responded with a delayed “you’re welcome” as I was already walking out the door.Having worked in the fitness club industry for nearly 30 years, I know that both the tone and demeanour Steven used and the disengaged behaviour at the front desk are unacceptable and would not be tolerated at most clubs. Front-line staff are there to greet, assist, and welcome members—not to sit on their phones or make customers feel like an inconvenience.For comparison, I visited Crunch Fitness before trying LA Fitness. While their equipment was outdated, the staff were warm, attentive, and professional. Today I tried Amped Fitness and had a very positive experience with their staff as well. The gym’s equipment was also older than the newly renovated LA Fitness, but it was the staff interaction that set the tone for my overall positive experience. I would sooner join either of those clubs than LA Fitness.I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as this location’s customer service fell far below industry standards. Update: that note above was sent directly to customer service in December. I received no response. I subsequently joined Crunch and have zero regrets. The staff are friendly, attentive and the gym is perfect for my workout needs. La Fitness is double the price with none of the value, and clearly doesn’t value their clients.

The pool ph balance seems off

The pool ph balance in the pool. ⚖️ High salty taste if water gets in your mouth. Recruiting staff is great though. Especially our recruiter.

DO NOT JOIN LA FITNESS!!!

DO NOT JOIN LA FITNESS!!!The reason are as follows:1. When I initially talked to my salesperson he told me that the club was getting a red light sauna as the current one was not working, I assumed it would be soon but the sauna has not worked in 10 weeks since I have been a member which is absurd/ridiculous for a fitness club...I used to own a fitness club with indoor tennis, large fitness room, (at the time one of the biggest in upstate N.Y.), aerobics, pro shop, nice locker rooms with a sauna...if the sauna ever broke down which happened frequently as members would pour water on the coils and short circuit them I would FedEx the appropriate parts and get it fixed ASAP...plus the salesperson was not working there days after I joined so he probably knew that and said anything to sell a membership and assuming get a commission 2. In my opinion the club is oversold with memberships as no matter what time I come in there to work out it's tough getting on any piece of equipment as there's so many people working out3. I had a member try to walk out with my jacket which I moved around with me as I worked out as didn't want to use your locker rooms4. I don't want to use your locker room as the one day I forgot my flip flops and I got a wart on the bottom of my foot from your locker room floor5. The main reason I joined your club is that you had a sauna versus Planet Fitness which did not 6. I have since joined Planet Fitness, both your club and PF are about the same distance and time from my house on East Ave and PF has probably 3x the equipment and space of your club, better machines with at least 2 of every plate loaded machine which usually means no waiting for a machine to work out on + they have more free weights than yours7. Numerous times your club was dirty, noticeably the floors on the fitness areas8. I tripped over your vacuum cord which has a 30-40' extension cord...I'm almost 77 and luckily I caught myself and didn't fall which could have been a lawsuit...I own a 4,000 sq. ft. home with 3 stories, (1875 house), and I have the same vacuum which is cordless for safety and ease of moving around and the last club I belonged to, (Midtown), had the cordless backpack vacuum so members wouldn't trip over a long cord and for ease of movement and safety and was faster as no cord to deal with...if I can have a cordless one as a homeowner I'm sure a big corporation like LA Fitness can afford one9. I previously emailed the manager or so I thought but it was a generic email to LA Fit on a Friday and she never got back to me, I was told at the front desk that I could email her directly from the web site but it was a common email only...after I complained to her (Abby) at the front desk the next Monday she probably looked for it and got back to me in a day or so after that...I've taught small business administration and entrepreneurship at the college level and waiting 4-5 days to respond to a customer's complaint is not acceptable in a well run company...when I complained to her about the sauna she were cordial but kept giving me the run around about it and when it would be fixed and refused to give me any club credit for lack of services - the sauna - which was the main reason I joined your club10. So I'm leaving LA Fitness and their lack of getting the sauna fixed in 10 weeks means they will lose my membership for many years to come, I've worked out and been an athlete since the 4th grade and will never stop belonging to a gym so LA lost thousands of dollars on my future membership and after the review I post which will be much of the above, you will lose numerous future members and cost the club 10's of thousands of dollars11. The spin bikes are from maybe 2005 at the best and they are the worst spin bikes I have ever used in 25+ years...and they have maybe 2-3 spin classes a week, I only ever saw one12. This "Gym" is like a used car lot from 1970 with sales people having desks to sit you down to hard sell you a membership for a "special deal" if you join that day...lying about anything to sell a membership and have that same slimy feeling of those old time used car sales people13. And when I walked into the club and talked to Abby (East Ave Club in Brighton) I was told that initially I had paid for the first and last month so I have been billed for an extra month upfront so if you want to cancel they get an extra month out of you...what a scam from old time car dealers and scummy salespeople from clubs in the 1970's + 1980's and 1990'sMark McCarthy

Today I went to LA Fitness in Cordova…

Today I went to LA Fitness in Cordova planning to cancel my membership because I honestly wasn’t going as often as I should and felt like it was becoming a waste of money. After speaking with the (AGM)TD, and Ashanti, they helped me realize the importance of keeping my membership.My main concern was continuing to pay monthly when the location felt farther than what worked for me. TD took the time to reach out to upper management and were able to get me grandfathered into a different location while keeping my rate exactly the same.They were extremely nice, friendly, professional, and very helpful. I truly appreciate Ashanti and TD for going the extra mile and working everything out for me.

Unprofessional and Threatening Behavior

LA Fitness ReviewI had one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had at a gym at this LA Fitness location (6501 N Andrews Ave, Fort Lauderdale).After seeing an ad for their 3-day pass, I registered online and booked a confirmed appointment for 9 AM. I even received a confirmation text. Because my closest location is closed, I drove over 30 minutes to get here.When I arrived, the associate at the front told me, “There’s no one from sales to activate the pass or show you the club, so we can’t help you.” No apology, no alternative, no solution.I explained that I had a confirmed appointment and had driven a long distance. He just shrugged, clearly not caring.When I said I might have to post my experience publicly, another employee — an older gentleman working there — loudly said, “You should!” in a rude, confrontational tone. When I asked for clarification, he responded, “Do whatever you like.”I calmly asked for his name. He refused, became visibly aggressive, and when I took a photo simply to document who I was speaking to, he escalated into insults and threatening behavior.Nothing justifies a staff member at a gym behaving like this toward a guest who arrived with a confirmed appointment.Between the complete disregard for appointments, the lack of accountability, and the hostile attitude of the employees, I left without being helped and genuinely shocked at how unprofessional this location is run.If this is how potential new members are treated when they walk in the door, I can only imagine what actual members deal with.

THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT!

THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT!I actually would not be surprised if my local LAF (Norwalk, CT) closes soon. My google review as follows:I will preface this review by saying that the facility itself is nice and large, spacious and with tons of good equipment.Also the staff is very friendly and tries to be helpful.However, if you are interested in using the pool and/or whirlpool here, you will probably be very disappointed and aggravated. It's obvious they skimp on maintenance for them, as they are closed/out of operation half the time.I joined this gym when it first opened about 15 years ago, mostly because I like to swim. If another gym a reasonable distance from my home opened up, I would leave this gym in a second.Update (1.20.24)...the pool and whirlpool are STILL closed, having been closed for about a month now. Total joke.Update/2 (11.1.25)...once again the pool has been closed for about 2 weeks. They just don't put any money or effort into maintaining the pool and whirlpool here, as they are often out of order/closed. Bottom line, if you are joining a gym with the intent of swimming as one of your exercises, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere as you will be really aggravated and disappointed with this place.Update/3 (11.16.25)...pool STILL closed. When you ask about when it will open, all you get is rambling BS...just a pathetic joke at this point.Update/4 (12.10.25)....pool STILL closed, with continued BS about opening...when I asked recently they told me there is not even a projected/planned re-opening date...the person said 'corporate' had even canceled the repair order...for whatever reason. Meanwhile, the coached 5-star reviews for the gym continue to appear on Google. I actually wouldn't be surprised if this gym closes completely soon. Unfortunate, since I have been a member for the 17 years that the club has been open.

100 % dissatisfied with customer service and the difficulty of cancelling a contract

I signed up for a personal trainer with a 6 month contract. At signing, I was told I could review my membership anytime although I am committed for the 6 months. I visited the office early November and was given a date 11/25/25 to return to cancel. On that date I returned, I was told that the facility is closing and that a manager would call me to help. I waited 2 days, no calls. I called the local gym I normally attend, I am told, "we are closing this facility, someone by the name of Joey will call you. After about 5 phone calls to the facility with no answer, I decided to visit their website and contact Management. It was 2:25pm, I got recording saying I am calling outside of office hours and I should leave a message. I then decided to send them an email, I discovered that I had to create an account on their site in order to send an email. WHERE IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE? LA FITNESS ON A SCALE OF 1-10 GETS A 00 FOR MANAGEMENT AND CUSTOMER. I finally reached out to my trainer, who said she would make contact with management, Joey called an hour later. He had no apologies, and when I outline my difficulty and my opinion to him, he hang up his phone on me. I called him back and he finally cancelled my contract with no refund. LA FITNESS TERRIBLE PLACE TO DO BUSINESS. DO NOT REGISTER YOUR CREDIT CARD WITH THEM.

Low quality and services

I am truly sorry that after years of membership in this complex, I have witnessed a decline in quality and service. During the last session, after exercise, I went to the locker room and saw feces on the floor of the gym. I will definitely follow up with the ministry.

LA Fitness Crocker Park Westlake is Terrible

I've been going to this gym for about 3 years and the aggravation is getting worse!The ISSUE:For some reason, they seem to think everyone wants the house music cranked up like a nightclub setting. It's so loud, having conversations with my workout buddy or other members, is nearly impossible without having to get in each others face and talk really loud!So, I, along with other members, have gone to the front desk numerous times to complain. The desk personnel say, "we aren't allowed to adjust the music. The store manager has no say in this matter, either. The regional manager tells us to leave the volume where it is." Next move was to speak with the "regional manager." He was pointed out to me by one of the employees so I walked up, introduced myself and said, "Why is the house music played at such a high level?" He replied, "well, we like it loud." (REALLY? WHO'S WE???)I came back with, "can you please turn it down a bit? It's too loud. It's hard to have a conversation with friends and quite frankly, the music is terrible. Look around, every person in here is wearing ear buds or headphones listening to their own music; they're not listening to the PA system." I continued, "I don't like having to wear buds or headphones and hate having to lug my phone around while working out, but I'm forced to wear them to try and drown out the music in here. And I'd like to add, I have to crank up my "noise-canceling" ear buds so loud, it's painful and the house music still bleeds thru. It's like a "battle of the bands" in my ears.He replied, "well, maybe we'll take a look at it."End of conversation.Since talking with him, he surely "took a look at it." It's louder now than it was before. I'm seriously thinking about finding another gym. Yes, it's THAT bad.p.s. There are other issues, too but I'll leave those for another time. Hopefully LA Fitness corporate will do something about this matter. And quickly.
