Firing an employee for expressing an important message of empowerment and support on her personal vehicle, having no impact on her work or those she and the Y were serving, is disgusting. And the hypocritical statement released by the CEO, Andrew Zimmer, just makes it worse. I live in the community adjacent to this Y and an appalled at the horrible judgment and shameful lack of community leadership displayed here. I hope the greater YMCA organization takes appropriate action.

This daycare used to be a great facility before the COVID lockdown last year. They were in a…read moredifferent building. The rooms were bright and organized. They had great teachers. The parents were updated all the time on the Brightwheel app. I received regular updates about how they were doing. When everything closed last spring, Bright Beginners moved to a new location a few buildings away. Their "dream" seemed to be to open a whole bunch of classrooms (instead of two) so kids can spend more time with children their age on their own level, which is a great goal. Unfortunately, starting with this move, everything unraveled. The building isn't great. The rooms are small and dark. Many don't have windows. Only two were being used: 1-2 year olds and 3-5 year olds. Instead of keeping their website updated, as teachers quit (and a lot of them were unhappy with the lack of leadership and communication), their images still remained on the website. No one's profiles were updated. No new teachers have their credentials listed, or even their pictures. Teachers appeared and vanished and the parents had no idea who they were. Then, the schedules disappeared from the website. The website has pictures from 3 years ago. Not only is the website outdated and incomplete, most teachers stopped using the Brightwheel app to communicate with parents. We used to get videos and pictures throughout the day. After the move to the new building, I would be lucky to see one picture of my son in a week. When I would ask how he was doing, I was usually told by the teacher, "I don't know, I wasn't with him today." No progress reports. No information. His clothing started vanishing. He came home wearing another child's underwear. What's worse, is the staff seems to have the hardest time wearing masks. We know it's the easiest way to prevent COVID and yet, some keep their masks on their chins. Some under their noses. Some not on at all. When you ask the teachers about COVID, most state it's not a big deal or "assume" they already had it. They seem unaware that having it once does not make you immune, and they also don't realize that they can easily be carriers without symptoms. Then the pull their masks down and breathe all over our children. The center is more concerned with "ratio" than they are about the well being of the children. Instead of keeping rooms open, children of all ages are combined so they can have as few teachers as possible at the center. Never mind the fact that they're overwhelmed and the kids are having a hard time adapting to new rooms at random as well as other children, all they care about is not having one extra teacher there for one hour because they would probably have to pay her $10 for her time. As a former elementary school teacher, I assure you in school they still teach that children, especially young children, thrive from routine. This center has no problem shuffling children around and confusing them as long as they don't need to pay one more teacher for one more hour. When they did have COVID scares (and they did), they were forced to close the entire center because of the insane amount of mixing they do with teachers and students. Also, you will never see the director or assistant director unless you show up during the day. Most parents bring their children to daycare because they work, meaning the children will be dropped off before work and picked up afterward. The director and assistant director make zero effort to ever come in early or stay late (which means their teachers are responsible for opening and closing the center and addressing issues) which shows you how little they actually care. Shortly before I switched daycares (my son no longer goes here but I did want to write a review to warn other parents), the center started a newsletter which I thought was a great idea. However, it's not filled with any content. I didn't know what concepts or information I should be going over with my son. Knowing he's learning about "the letter B" isn't helpful: he's known that letter for 3 years. I thought Preschool actually meant the children would be learning. A coloring page? How about the center informs you IN ADVANCED of the days it will be closed in case we don't keep our handbooks open on our kitchen tables. How about it informs us of new policies and procedures at the center? How about future improvement they can make to the center? Perhaps information about how to obtain a progress report? What improvements, you ask? Perhaps label the 20 doors in your hallway so we know which one is the kitchen, which one is the bathroom, which one is the preschool room... Or replace your mud pit with sod so when the children come home from playing outside on a damp day we don't have to throw away their entire wardrobe? Perhaps invest in a sign on both of your doors so people actually know this is a daycare? I used to love this place. It's very sad what happened.

My how Fitness Pointe has fallen in a few short years is a tragedy. The staff that once went out…read moreof their way to smile and welcome you by eagerly offering assistance are today far too busy sitting on their asses texting on their cell phones. They used to take your blood pressure by just noticing you sitting in a chair. Today, they're too lazy to get up off their asses! Don't blame Covid, that's any easy excuse and a cop out. No mouthwash in the locker room any longer! We didn't forget! Fitness Pointe did! Poor leadership that would rather blame someone for complaining about a problem person, in hopes one of them would cancel their membership so Mr Coward manager didn't have to take a stand. Missing leadership! Arrogant! Excellent at being pompous and arrogant! Then there's the therapy pool piranha and the school of disgruntled, mean followers that believe this is their own personal warm water swamp. The pool piranha feverishly splashes about from side to side hogging up three lanes is a message to everyone...I OWN THIS POOL! I COME FIRST! You must kiss the ass of the selfish pool piranha and follow it around, back and forth like a good little obedient fan. No respect for others! You can't enjoy the therapy pool alone because the pool piranha lacks attention and needs your constant validation. Then there's the employee with the strawberry blonde brush haircut that hates everyone including itself. Mean, belligerent and can easily grimace, flip you the finger or tell you to SHUT UP! Excuse me....Is one of it's tired, dated lines. When management lacks the balls to use their authority properly, you end up with sacred cow staff members, laziness and a few angered members calling the shots over the majority. Fitness Pointe isn't the best place to work out or enjoy your leisure. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE! Not worth the aggravation!

This is not a family-friendly facility. My 14 year old tried to come with me as a guest to try it…read moreout (my 16 year old had come once). They said the 14 year old had to buy a package for kids which was $30 for 10 visits (no smaller packages just to try it out). When deciding on it when she was already with me in her workout clothes, we told the worker that she was going to sometimes come with her friend's family, so we would get it. Nothing was said about any rules against this. A month after that, I decided to cancel my membership because of several reasons (class times not convenient for a teacher. Rigid rules about teen memberships, etc). When I canceled, they called to tell me Tessa's membership would also be canceled since she has to come with me. I told them my understanding was that she just had to be with an adult. They would not budge and told me absolutely no refunds for any reason. This is very poor business. Also, their policies are so rigid...a 14-15 year old must work out with a parent. I don't know many teens that want to be glued to their parent's side when working out. Other gyms have much more flexibility. Other businesses would be more flexible with miscommunications. I'm glad we are ending our membership there.

My dad, who had a stroke, has a valid membership and we came so I could briefly record him working out for stroke survivor awareness, since he's building a platform to help others going through the same thing. I wasn't there to use the gym or any equipment, just to record him, but Laura refused to let me in and was very rude about it. I understand there are rules, but the lack of compassion and professionalism in that situation was really disappointing.

Deceptive practices. I was sold 4 personal training sessions for $77…read more I was told by Kay-Kay (general manage) that it was a winter storm deal to get people in the gym (regular value $288) and that LA fitness would absorb the difference. That it was no commitment, month to month if I wanted to the continue & rate would not change. I was also told that I would meet with my trainer (Marty, who was great btw) once a week for 4 sessions. That weeks 1-4 was body mechanics and basic strength training. if I choose to move forward it would be more nutrition and strength focuse etc... As we signed the contract she throughly pointed out to reassure me that there was no obligation. she highlighted that N/a was placed on term fee, N/a payments due. During my second session 2/13/26, Marty mentioned that I had a package to meet with him once a month. and he had to book this session ahead.. I told him that we were suppose to meet once a week from what Kay-Kay & I discussed. after the session, I talked to Kay Kay who was at first confused to why there was a misunderstanding, she pulled up the contact and explained that I had two sessions left and that I was PIF (paid in full).. She said she was going to honor what she told me and clear it up with Marty and give me a call. on 2/18/26 Marty texted again asking if I had upgraded to once a week package & again confused I replied that Kay Kay had yet to reach out and I'd follo up with her regarding said package. He texted back later that evening stating that he had spoke with the regional manager about the mix up and I was give two additional sessions. On 2/20/26 Marty texted and said tge Matteson location was closing and he wanted to get my sessions booked. I told him I had a minor injury and that I still needed to talk with kay Kay to clarify. On Monday 2/23/26 I called to speak to Kay Kay and was told she no longer works at that location and was directed to call Kirstin at the Chicago ridge location about training package... Kirstin was not available when I called. On Friday 2/27/26 I called Chicago Ridge and spoke with kirstin (who I believe is Kay kay) who said she could not cancel or make any changes and that it could only be done at my home gym (Matteson) I explained the situation about Kay Kay and what was sold to me.. she (Kirstin) directed my to 949-255-7200 la fitness customer service.. I spoke to Adonis, who quickly referred to my signed contract where it stated the monthly fee and agreement. that he could not go by "hearsay" just the contract and 50% buyout. I'm insulted at this point because why would make any of this up?? there was no $77 down or any sort of payment plan mentioned. I told him to cancel and that I did not agree with his verbage of "buyout" because that would imply my participation or knowledge of a "buyin"... he stated that he would need a card to charge the fee and I told him to charge the card on file because again I do not agree with any of these terms or contract that was probably altered after I signed... just tell me it's $75 per session... the bait and switch is diabolical... Adonis said he could not charge my card on file and I did not give him a card to charge so he said I woul be held to the terms of the contract. I hung up the phone and called Matteson back and Jake said he could not cancel and that I had to call Chicago ridge. I then call customer service back and spoke with Tido who said "like Adonis said, there is a buyout fee and he's not going back and forth with me about it" I told him I never agreed to any package or payment plan and that I would be writing reviews on the deceptive practices of LA Fitness on every consumer site.
