My wonderful treadmill view after one minute and fifty-nine seconds - lol
Niki B.

So far, so good. We tried getting back into a fitness routine and wanted the accountability of a gym. We also like trying new spots, so have tried gyms and classes all over town. This one does the job. It's crowded enough where there feels like a community but there is always equipment open. They have good classes that are offered every night and I really enjoyed the zumba one. The equipment cleanliness could be improved, but I tend to opt for the classes more than the facilities so can't speak on that as much.

Rusted and broken weight machines

If I could give this gym zero stars I would. This LA Fitness CARMEL location is in shockingly rough condition! As a member for nearly 6 years, I know because I attend this gym 5-6 days per week and I literally use almost every piece of equipment here....weights, cardio machines, racquet ball courts, spin classes, hot tub and sauna. I have held back in posting a review online because I first notified the gym mangers of these concerns and wanted to give the complaint process time to work. Over this past year, I reached out to several managers, first at this LA Fitness location with hopes someone would listen to me and really see this place needs attention. I went to the operations manager at my Carmel location (a 21 year old young man who didn't seem to care). Then I started calling the corporate headquarters. After getting the run around way too many times I had to get rather assertive with them to give me the district operations manager's info. It was a struggle. Next I contacted the district operations manager, Timothy LeBeau on March 27, 2023 with a list of concerns and about 50 pictures along w/ a petition of 230+ member signatures that I collected earlier this year to have the hours changed back to pre-covid hours. Timothy does respond back to me but sadly always tells me what I want to hear. It's insane that the hours are so restricted at this very busy location where members workout late into the evening. To the frustration of most everyone, they close at 10pm week nights, 9pm Fri nights and 7pm Sat. and Sun. A change back to pre-pandemic hours in LONG overdue! Tim assured me he was working on getting the hours extended at our location & almost 6 mos later NOTHING has changed & from his last email it doesn't look like it is likely to change anytime soon! Next, we have the issue of the shabby condition of the gym! The machines are ancient! The weight machines are always broken and rusting out. Instead of a needed replacement of these machines, the gym is choosing instead to patch them up and recover them! I'm not sure they are all safe to use! The cardio machines are in very poor condition. They are so old that it's hard to find one that works quite right....the little things like the fans or the incline setting or the acceleration buttons...very basic things! The treadmills are broken all the time.....one treadmill has been stuck on an incline for about 4 months now. I believe most of the cardio machines are 15 years old or more. (I have checked a few of the manufacturer dates to confirm this!) I do the Stairmaster frequently and there is NEVER 4 working Stairmasters at any given time. They are disguising and outdated. The gym attempts to fix them over and over and they never work quite right. They are loud, skip, lose power for no reason and often don't accelerate to the desired speed when doing intervals. Again, all very basic stuff a gym should offer. The front desk people have to take the time to enter repair requests online for each specific machine that is broken or else they don't even get recorded that they are broken. Because of this, it's normal for a Stairmaster, treadmill or weight machine to be out of commission for a month or more because the front desk people are lazy or reluctant about putting in the daily list of repair requests for broken equipment. Unacceptable! I even learned that our assigned repair guy lives two states away and doesn't get over here very often. So, all that to say WE NEED NEW CADRIO MACHINES....ESP #1STAIRMASTERS AND #2TREADMILLS! Lastly this gym is completely outdated! It is very long overdue for a COMPLETE REMODEL. It was very exciting to members when they heard the gym was going to be remodeled in Jan 2023. Disappointingly, they just painted and added a green space, poorly relocating all the weight machines even closer to each other....a very tight arrangement! So the old, outdated weight machines and cardio equipment remain. I do give credit to the cleaning crew right now. They are working hard and trying and do a decent job with the aged-out facility. The bathrooms are so OLD and GROSS that there is really NO way for them to get them looking like they are clean because the floors and counters are so stained and worn down. The toilet stalls are old and falling apart. The tile is coming off in the showers. The concrete is stained and crumbling around the pool. Again, unacceptable! I stopped showering there because it's just too gross! I literally don't want to touch anything. LA fitness's annual revenue was 2.1 billion in 2022 so it's a mystery why they are not keeping their gyms updated esp in an upscale city like Carmel. The city of Westfield will have a new YMCA coming soon. If things don't change here soon starting w/ the hours there will be a lot of us frustrated members leaving. (And there are a LOT of us) This location in Carmel is clearly NOT living up to the quality and great experience of the LA Fitness brand and name.

Nothing Works

Do not become a member of this gym. Half of the equipment is broken and has been for months. Management claims it is easier to fix the old machines instead of buy new machines. Treadmills have been broken for months and it is unlikely that they will ever be fixed. Some machines randomly stop... what a great way to injure your knee! The only reason I continue to come to this gym is due to the location. LA Fitness Westfield will lose all their members if another similar gym opens up in Westfield. The place is literally falling apart and many members are unhappy!

Just got back from an evening slow flow class, and I still have that post-yoga buzz. Part of it…read moremight be because I'm dehydrated -- I sweated a lot! Supposedly, the room is kept at 90 degrees, and I could feel all 90 degrees. I'm not used to practicing hot yoga, and I don't think it will be a daily part of my practice, but it's nice to know that The Yoga Studio offers such a nice space for hot yoga when the mood strikes me. The instructor, Rick, was great. It was my first time visiting, so we chatted outside of the yoga room about what to expect: In his class, he starts with a led Sun Salutation A, then lets you go on your own, then a led Sun Salutation B, then lets you go on your own. The second half of the class is a fully led practice, with lots of variety. The room is small, but apparently they can fit 25 people in it! My class only had 12, so there was plenty of room. The room itself is clean and dark, with a couple of salt lamps around. It's a quiet, contemplative space to practice. There are showers here, too, as well as a room for cycling. The people who work here are very welcoming! Like I said, it was my first time visiting, and I got nothing but love from everyone. The Yoga Studio is a great place to practice yoga, and I'll definitely be back.

I've tried this place twice now and found both experiences lacking. The most recent time I went…read morethe music was super loud and the instructor was very quiet, which made it super easy to get lost. Additionally there were several poses called out with different names than what I've encountered with other instructors at several different studios or while doing yoga at home with Apple Fitness. Lastly, we went through a flow once or twice and then the instructor pretty much said keep doing it on your own without any further instructions for a few minutes. I felt bad for the two new students next to me who kept looking over to me to check their form. If you enjoy a hot space and freedom to do whatever flow you'd like, then this place might be good for you, but I was not a fan.

I'm still vibrating from my class. I attended Baptiste Power Yoga (now called Fire & Flow Yoga --…read morethey recently changed their name!) on an auspicious day: International Day of Yoga, which also happens to be summer solstice. On this very special day, they were offering a two-hour class where we would be doing 108 sun salutations. I didn't know if I could do that many sun salutations in a row. I was a little bit anxious because I not only didn't know if I could do 108 sun salutations without injuring myself or fainting, but also, I had never been to Fire & Flow, so I didn't know the studio or anyone there. But yoga people are my people, so I went with it and trusted the universe. When I arrived, I was treated like a regular, and everyone was super friendly. I got a little tour of the studio and got to check out the amenities. It's a small but very clean and functional studio, and they offer coffee and tea complimentary, and juice and other drinks to purchase. There are water stations to fill up your water bottle, restrooms, cubbies and a community kitchen where you can hang out. Because this was a long and special class, there were a few different instructors leading, and each brought a different energy to the group. They played uplifting music during the sun salutations, which helped keep up the momentum. At the end of the class, we were brought cold towels that smelled like lavender to put over our eyes while we meditated, and it was honestly the best thing I've experienced all week. I loved my first class at Fire & Flow, and I want to come back to experience a more "regular" yoga class! This place is so welcoming and warm, and I can't wait to visit again.

I've NEVER liked working out and have NEVER committed myself to a fitness routine. I did show choir…read morein high school and I enjoyed the dance aspect, so I Googled around for "dance fitness" classes near me in Carmel. Revel Fitness popped up and I had never heard of it. After scanning the website, I decided to check it out the next day, since the first class is free. After one class, I signed up for a membership ($39/month) and I've been to at least 2 classes a week since joining, if not 4-5 - which is unheard of for me. I like it THAT much. Revel's studio is within Primelife Enrichment in Carmel, but the clients are all ages. From my first class (Zumba with Erin) I felt welcomed and accepted. Each instructor has noticed I'm "the new kid" and gone out of their way to introduce themselves and welcome me to class. Revel is full of regulars but everyone has been friendly and many have asked my name and welcomed me to Revel. This is a community that I don't think I'd find at a larger studio or gym. Going to the gym in general has always made me feel uncomfortable, but here I can dance without worrying about how I look. I can just focus on having fun. This place checks off all the things on my list. It's close to where I live, affordable, welcoming and offers a variety of classes (Zumba, Pound, TurboKick, LaBlast). I actually look forward to my workouts and can't wait to continue my fitness journey with Revel!

I've been dancing here for many years and have subbed as a instructor in the past. I feel like I…read morehave to give this place the justice it deserves as a great dance/fitness studio! Not only do they offer a diversity of fitness classes (mostly dance-oriented), but the owners and instructors are energetic/motivated. In addition, the regulars (there are quite a few) are SO friendly! I've made quite a few friends here over the years. Go try a class; if you enjoy Zumba style dancing and fitness classes, you'll love Revel!

I purchased a two-week unlimited intro pass and had a sudden family emergency the same day as my first class that required me to leave the country. I returned 13 days later, meaning there was only one day left on my two-week pass. I explained this to the front desk and asked if there was any way to extend or honor the original trial period, since I wasn't able to use it due to circumstances completely out of my control. I was only offered options that would require me to make an additional payment, and when I followed up explaining my disappointment and asking if there was any flexibility, I never received a response. Considering this is a yoga studio, I expected more understanding, compassion, and accommodation in a situation involving a family emergency. Overall, the lack of communication and empathy overshadowed the experience.
