My first time in the class she talked down to me like a mean girl in highschool, as a full grown 40/50 year old adult. Then I hear her talk to other people about it being my first class, in a very nasty tone. Didn't allow me to add extra blocks to make it more difficult, which I clearly needed as an athlete, as my heart rate is difficult to increase from all the cardio I already do. Class was too easy, instructor was too awful, and I would NEVER take a class at LA fitness again.

My review is specifically for the fitness classes, and in particular, the Monday night step class…read more As another one star reviewer pointed out, Allyson is horrible! I taught classes for over 15 years and have never encountered such a miserable person whose job is to motivate. For clarity, her teaching is fine, her attitude is not. She has issues with the club management but takes it out on the (paying) students! She has literally ended class early because she's tired, hot, bothered or some other excuse. She has her favorite students and they seem to support her, but from a purely unbiased opinion, she is nothing short of horrible. The last time I took her class she again abruptly stopped. She saw disappointment in my face and directed her frustration toward me saying 'why don't get up her and teach, you have no idea how hard this is!' Actually Allyson, I would teach you under a rug and hopefully LA Fitness will soon realize they can do better than you. Good riddance to this gym!

The staff at the front desk were impersonal and not particularly welcoming or informative when I arrived. Similarly, the employees at the Life Time Café seemed disengaged and unwelcoming. A fitness club that positions itself as a high-end experience should place strong emphasis on hospitality and member engagement, but that was not reflected during my visit. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this location.

As a former Marine I don't need motivation from a trainer, and have been going to the gym regularly 3x week since 2021. Planet Fitness is a fair to good gym, the only frustrating issue I've found is that way too many people are in there first thing in the morning or at dinner time when everyone gets out of school and work. A LOT of people set on the equipment looking at their cell phones, and not actually using the equipment, which is not fair to anyone. In an hour, I'd guess most spend maybe 25 minutes on their damn phones and another 35 minutes working out on average, So, I'm in the process of looking for a different gym at this point, Perhaps something smaller with similar equipment. I have a black card (i.e. $25ish a month) although I don't really use anything but the Tanning booth 1-2x a month. The Black card is worth it for the extra bene's I really don't use I guess.

She took the time to look at everyone's profile when they check in and learn our names. It's rare to get someone who genuinely cares and adds a personal touch like that. She always welcomes you with an upbeat good morning and smile, which is hard to do at 5 am!! There are good group fitness classes offered. Mostly mid-morning and evening. Not many 5:30am classes compared to the other Edges in the area. Instructors Danielle P, Dani B, and Susie are awesome. They all clearly love coaching and bring such a fun energy to each class. I absolutely love taking their classes. Comfortable spot to workout. No pressure compared to other gyms. There are some people who are running themselves but they're usually very respectful of others privacy. Everyone is usually really friendly and there's a sense of community here. The equipment is still relatively new and in good shape. The upstairs is for women only. Cool option if you want that but it only comes with the highest membership package.

Every coach brings something special to the workouts. Once I forgot my workout shoes and one of the coaches (who I had met for the first time that class) gave me the shoes off his feet and coached the class in his socks. . . Coaches always have time to give you individual attention if you need it. After a freak injury two months ago the coaches helped tailor workouts to accommodate my injury, and were always encouraging and made me feel a part of the class. The classes are fun, high energy, and the coaches do a great job ensuring your form and technique are correct. I've noticed a big difference in strength from when I started and I always look forward to the day's workout of the day (WOD). The WODs are usually exhausting but reasonable, and all movements are carefully reviewed before the workout. Fellow athletes are welcoming and great people. CrossFit R5 (in Wayne) has a family feel, with athletes sometimes bringing in homemade (or fresh-caught) food for anyone who wants it. CrossFit MainLine has a few more young professionals and is a bit busier during peak hours. Parking at both the Wayne and Ardmore sites (a membership includes both locations) is free, safe, and painless (except the time when I drove my car off an embankment next to the parking lot at the Ardmore site getting it hopelessly stuck just over the sidewalk before class. A couple of coaches and athletes came out and actually lifted my car off!) Both boxes are solid, are continuously improving (new dumbbells, box jumps, and exercise bikes have been added over the past several months) and have a lot of growth potential (perhaps adding a late morning class on the weekends would be helpful, as making the 8:30AM or 9:30 AM classes can be tough on a Saturday or Sunday or opening more boxes in Northwest/West Philadelphia.) I highly recommend CrossFit R5/ Mainline for beginners/advanced athletes looking for a new fitness home!!

I went to Orangetheory Fitness for an intro class and it completely ruined my experience…read more Before the class, they texted and called saying they needed to do my introduction beforehand and that it would take at least 20 minutes. I arrived 15 minutes early, which is standard for most workout classes, but they refused to let me join the class. I explained that I've attended many workout classes before and was comfortable jumping in, but they insisted there wasn't enough time to complete the intro and paperwork. Ironically, I could have filled out the forms if they hadn't spent that time arguing with me instead. I also would have been happy to pay for the intro class if they hadn't required me to show up 30 minutes early. We're all busy--who realistically has time for that? They acted like this was some extremely advanced or exclusive workout, but honestly, anyone who is even moderately fit could handle the class. The rigid policies and poor customer service were unnecessary and unwelcoming. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend this location.

The person I spoke to today could benefit from EQ and guest recovery training…read more Situation: My job is 100% travel based so I go to a lot of different studios. I accidentally book a class and when I noticed I went to cancel it. The class was at 6:30am the very next day outside of the 12hr window, and I had cancelled it way in advanced the same day I booked. Well they cancelled all the classes I had booked. Which for me means they also cancelled the alarms I have to wake up associated for it, so rescheduling wasn't able to happen again for a while on my end, because of how my days have been structured plus I had a vacation. so I called today excited and ready to get back on my regimen, and then when she answered the phone, I believe her name was Mary. I gave her the needed card information and was ready to rebook. Then all the sudden she starts going we need to charge you for the class you didn't show up for. Then I went on to explain it wasn't a no show it was an accidental booking on my end that I cancelled prior to the class starting. Instead of going oh okay to move forward we just have to pay the $12 for booking and canceling within the 12hr window and then we will be good to go. She goes into her little system and proceeds to ARGUE with me about my perception of what happened, and was like we have been trying to call you. and you haven't talked to us. I told her I am talking to them now, and that due to the way my schedule is there wasn't time for me to get back to them then. (context I typically work 6 days a week from 9am - 11pm). ( i did not share this with her because she was so rude and accusatory) Instead of being empathetic, and forward focused, she for whatever reason decided to continue arguing and say phrases such as "my day is very busy too" and well "you didn't answer us" "I'm looking at my time punches and it says you booked at 6pm and didn't cancel until 12am" ( to my memo isn't what happened, but at this point it's still a 6 and half hour notice, for a class that wasn't anywhere near fully booked) All that to say I was so turned off, and annoyed by the way she represented this location I would just cancel my membership all together if this was my home studio. Feel so bad for the members who attend there and for whatever reason have life happen. Because that lady lacks any people and conflict resolution skills. Genuinely hope someone helps her figure out it's not about being right, it's about the situation and how you move forward.
