LA Fitness in general

There are two LA Fitness gyms in Belfast, one in the centre of the city on Adelaide Street and the other is on Shaws Bridge in the south east of the city. My membership allows me to use both gyms and I would use the Adelaide Street gym before work and the Shaws Bridge gym in the evening. *-Adelaide Street-* The Adelaide Street gym is not, in my opinion, as good as the Shaws Bridge gym. This is becaseu firstly the machines are not as new and there do seem to be more that do not work. Also Adelaide Street does not have all of the machines that are in the other gym. Another minus point is that although there are four televisions, for about the last ...  Read the complete review

Ever since the age of 17 I have frequented many different gyms. in my younger student/new cop days it was the free, slightly musty, back of the garage station gym or the local council gym, through to my flush days of £60 per month esporta! Due to injury and relocation I left my last gym and have recently been at the stage of wanting to rejoin. Shopping around my local area I wasnt exactly spoilt for choice. My eyes rested on LA fitness's excellent website following a google search and my interest was piqued. The start.... Following a brief phone call, I arranged to attend the gym along with my partner who was from out of the area and ...  Read the complete review

Well, I have to say first here, that I am comparing LA Fitness to the lush Reebok Sports Club which I had been attending until I really couldn't afford it any more- well, actually I could, but I was fed up with only being able to go to the gym Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and cramming everything into three days.... I needed my weekend back! Also, I had been starting to use my local gym in the week, meaning I was not able to afford to eat...(not good). So I decided to downgrade to LA Fitness and go to the gym a little for 5 days a week. Why did I choose LA Fitness? Well, when I was choosing between gyms, I made a list of the gyms around me I could get to: ...  Read the complete review

I have mixed views on LA Fitness. I joined in May last year 2008. The deal i was given was £34 per month but £78 on my first month of which half (£34) would be refunded if i went twice a week for the first 8 weeks of my membership. I did go more than the required amount of times apart from the second to last week when i came down with an illness. That was my £34 out of the window. Having spoken to many other members in the gym, i have found that generally the membership costs are all over the place. Everyone i have spoken are paying differing monthly membership fees, and some are as low as £20. So i will be bringing this point up when it comes ...  Read the complete review

Me and partner registered with the Muswell Hill LA Fitness since February 2008 on a student membership. They had this promotion called the Kickstart programme, where if you go to the gym at least twice a week for the first eight weeks, you will NOT be charged the fourth-month membership fee. However, this was somewhat a scam. We fulfilled the criteria and when we checked with them after the fourth month, they mentioned that we cannot claim the fourth-month fee because we were on a student membership. The club salesperson told us that we would be on the programme, but the manager just apologised and refused to refund our money. This is a clear example where the manager ...  Read the complete review
