I hope it wasn't a fluke! The sauna and shower were hot. I haven't been to this location in a while because the sauna wasn't hot. I'll be back more often because it was hot and if it consistently stays above 165 I'll give the 5 stars back. read more

We've gone multiple times to cancel my membership and each time they did not do it. The contract states you can cancel within 3 business days for a full refund and they do not honor their contract. I was also told the operations manager would contact me and she did not. I've spoken to multiple people on Clark township and have found many people are having issues being scammed by this gym. I had to contact corporate and threaten to go to the news to finally have my membership cancelled and get a refund. DO NOT GO HERE read more

I visited this location on a weekday morning for their cycling class and was positively surprised. First of all, this is one of the few north jersey LA Fitness locations that offer multiple spin classes on weekday mornings at 8:15am and 9:15am (check their website for full schedule). Also, the instructor was good and there were around 15 people which is good for a weekday morning class. Class started and ended on time. They offer the standard gym equipment and some of them seem to be pretty old including a couple broken ones so this definitely needs some improvement. There's plenty of parking since this gym is part of a huge shipping center. I didn't have to interact with any of their staff members and didn't use their lockers or pool facilities so I can't comment on that. read more

Today I was at the gym to take a class, a new instructor (Michelle) walked in, I toke a Yoga class before with her and stop taking it because was 30 minutes talk and 20 workout, as a member I think using our session time to brag and talk about her 25 years of experience in PT an instructor and that she is 69 years old and she looks great, really true she looks great, but do not judge people or make other uncomfortable because she want thing at her class do in her way, reason why I stopped to take the only yoga at Clark, NJ in the morning. Today was the same issue, bragging about the same as described before and this time more annoying for me because she was stopping every single moment we were exercising; to said that she is a teacher, she want to make sure all exercises are done correct, (that is really appreciate to a certain level, because some customers like me that workout often and know how to do an exercise was more disturbing than enjoying exercising with her). Or comments like having her giving us the instructions to workout property should be paid a lot of money, when you love what you do needs to be passion and humbleness I think approaching individually and ask to adjust position or the way to do it will be better, but making comments or stopping all class to talk when we are already working out, for me was that much disturbing that I did step out the room because a comment to me, when I just turned to see another member and asked her something and she (instructor) yielded to me "why are you talking". (Where are we? at a gym or library? really, she needs to be asked to focus on teach class). I recommend to LA Fitness if she is really into training people gave her a chance as a PT because personally using the time of a class to describe her experience, disturb others and brag about herself it's not what I'm looking in a class. As well I saw her name (Michelle) in other classes I like too, I hope is temporarily, because I will not take a class at least LA manage this issue. read more

I've had a very disappointing experience with the L.A. Fitness in Clark, NJ. One of the main reasons I valued this location was the availability of free yoga class on Fridays. Recently, Friday's classes were canceled, and members were told that the yoga instructor quit and that the gym has been unable to find a replacement. That explanation is hard to accept when, at the same time, the location appears to be increasing emphasis on paid Pilates. From a customer perspective, it feels less like an unavoidable staffing issue and more like a business decision to move members toward paid classes while removing free options that many people relied on. If that is the direction this location wants to take, they should be more transparent with members instead of presenting it as if there is simply no instructor available. Other L.A. Fitness branches still seem to offer free yoga classes, so it is frustrating that the Clark location has chosen a different path. Members deserve honesty, consistency, and respect -- especially when amenities that influenced their membership decision are quietly taken away. Overall, this has left a very negative impression. It feels like the focus has shifted away from member value and toward squeezing more money out of customers. read more

The main reason we joined this overcrowded gym in Clark is for the Friday 7:00 PM yoga class. It has since dropped off the schedule, and for a few months, they were "looking for a replacement". *This is Union County, New Jersey, with over half a million people (many of whom now go to this gym), so one yoga instructor should be doable. The weekly number of Pilates classes that members now PAY an additional $119 per month is equal to the number of FREE classes. We can $ee where their priorities have shifted to. *If you are reading this, they still have not 'found' a replacement. read more

Regularly I will buy smoothie from the juice bar and always ask to put only half of the ingredients because of thickness. Tonight after making my purchase and leaving 20% gratuity, I asked the attendant for a little bit of ice to put in my smoothie to dilute it. She told there is a $1.00 fee for the ice. This is after I spent more than $10.00 on a smoothie which I wanted to dilute. Me and my daughter will not be making purchases and I will share my experience with anyone who will listen. This experience was appallin. read more

Love the place, so nice, people and staff are awesome! Specially kalu! Thanks so much

Stopped here for a quick yoga class while in the area. This gym is NICE...one of the signature clubs in the area! It is a 2-level gym, with tons of machines and workout areas. It also has racquetball and basketball courts, in addition to the swimming pool. Located in Raritan Road in Clark, a very busy area, in the same shopping center as Whole Foods. So plenty of parking all around. It was quite busy, but the staff and instructors were super nice and helpful. Would definitely stop in again if in the area. read more

Great place just the schedule sucks ,They should open earlier and stay open until later

They ripped me off bottom line. They made 2 erroneous charges. it took at least a month to get the first refund. I still haven't received the second one. They took money that didn't belong to them and won't give it back. Despite the best efforts of the manager Joe, they gave him the runaround too. I got connected to membership services who later called me back and told me to reconnect with Joe because he didn't have an answer. Isn't that like stealing? read more

Great gym and really good ambience overall. Locker rooms are well maintained for the most part. Bathrooms are ok. However the reason I am giving it 3 stars is because they are the only LA Fitness that I've come across that happens to not have shower curtains in the men's shower area. read more

I have asked over and over to their corporate office if the equipment can be fixed all I get is a reply saying "we will look into it" it truly is ridiculous especially with the cost of membership would never ever recommend for someone to go to this facility read more

DON'T SIGN UP FOR PERSONAL TRAINING, IF YOU DO READ THE FINE PRINT, even if you read the fine print and understand it, in a month you will forget that you need to personally cancel a 6 MONTH CONTRACT. Your 6 month contract is not 6 months they keep charging you and WILL NOT REFUND you. Managers and Personal Training Director will give you the run around until its to late to refund you. On top of that Personal trainers don't have a designated training area, if you have a session during peak times you have to wait around for machines or change your workout, when you are paying $60/dollars for 25 minutes of training every second counts. read more

They should call it LA Texting club. People are so rude there, they just sit on the machines and play with their phones. Also the sauna is broke down a lot read more

Just got a sales call from an Clarke NJ LA fitness rep at 8pm on a Wednesday evening. The man said he saw I had a 3 day pass how did I like the gym? I was shocked because why is he calling me at 8pm?? I stated I didn't live in the area, so I wouldn't be joining and he immediately just hung up in my face. As a business owner, and a salesperson, I was appalled. How about TRAIN your employees LA fitness!? I would have fired that person immediately that's insane. read more

I just had to update my review for this place, for it doesn't seem to be getting better, most of the machines don't work or are missing pieces. They just seem to not care. I personally wouldn't have joined if I knew that was the case. read more

LA Fitness on paper and from a glance seems like a very upscale, modern and multi-commodity gym. With an Olympic sized indoor pool, saunas, indoor basketball and racquetball courts, free and mechanical weight areas, a cycling room, a multi purpose training room for classes and jacuzzi tubs... what else could you ask for at this price point. Well... just one thing... that the equipment works. Regrettably this gym has most of their treadmills malfunctioning, several machines are down and out of commission for days or weeks at a time, paper towel dispensers are often empty or broken, dirty equipment, empty wipes containers for sanitizing and the list goes on. I work out with a guest that I bring daily with me and most days there's no check in process and then suddenly there's this whole required check in on random days with an online system that doesn't work and takes forever to complete. Considering the alternative (Planet Fitness), I guess I'll stay here, but regrettably I can't in good conscience recommend this place to my friends and others. read more

So I love this location because it has a sauna and not many in the area do. Since the new year they've done s better job at making sure the clocks are fixed, updating the cleaning wipes, and keeping things clean. Trust me, some locations have terrible bathrooms-- like terrifying. This location has lays managed to keep that pretty good. My major gripe is now the mats. The Matt's used to be generally cleaned but now- GROSS!! They literally look like they've been thrown into dirt and just laid out for people to workout on. It's truly disgusting. LA fitness is supposed to provide a quality membership for those who chose it but the mats are literally disgusting. No matter how much you wipe them, there's black gunk on the wipes and they still look dirty. I really hope something can be updated because nobody seems to want to even use them. I've watched people approach the piles of mats and then walk away because it's all just gross. read more

There is a wide variety of equipment to use, but it feels like half of the stair master machines are always broken. The gym as a whole needs to be cleaned better, the bathrooms can get very dirty and same with the basketball court, people leave their trash on the hardwood on the sides and I've seen the same trash left there for days at a time :/ read more

Very disappointed in this gym! Machines are ancient as you can tell from the iPod plugs, loud treadmill bands, and rusty machines. That would be fine if cleanliness wasn't an issue, but it is. Every single hand sanitizer was empty when I went. Finding staff is almost impossible, even at the front desk. Finding a free weight or any weight machine was also impossible, even at 10am on a weekday! I was shocked that they offer racquet ball courts without racquets and balls. This facility would be awesome with more staffing and cleanliness. read more

Think long and hard about joining LA Fitness in Clark. There is not enough equipment for the classes they offer. Two weeks ago, a fellow class attendee and I spoke to a manager stating that they were lacking basic equipment for the class we just participated in. Basic equipment- weights, balls and chairs. She said she would communicate this to the regional manager and have the issue fixed. She asked for our names and email. NO communication was received. I go 5 minutes early for the class today--and not enough equipment for me to participate. Why pay membership fees. Again I was told the same story. UNACCEPTABLE. Save your money. read more

I have just started my membership at the clark gym and I am truly disappointed at the way this facility is kept The price that is paid for what is being done to maintain this establishment is an embarrassment! Can some please please visit this facility from corporate and fix it. You have 2.0 on yelp and no one seems to care . I would appreciate someone contacting me to tell me what is going to be done to truly fix all the machines falling apart and really hire employees that care. hopefully someone will look into this asap read more

1 star is extremely generous for this gym. I get a free membership for this place through work and I feel like even that is overpriced. They should be paying me for coming to this absolute cesspool of a gym. The place is ridiculously crowded even at 10pm. The people that go there are generally atrocious sometimes working out in groups of 6+, playing music outloud etc. By far the dirtiest gym i've ever gone to which hasn't improved at all during COVID. Dumbbells and weights all over the place. Consistently stinks like farts and weed. That is just the beginning of it. The mens locker room is an absolute disaster. There is a small sauna which for some reason people crowd into and stand in their in their full gym clothes then they go and work out on the equipment with their dirty clothes. They need to get their act together. Do yourself a favor and spend your money elsewhere bc this place is not worth one red cent. read more

This place is filthy !! Machines are always broken , paper towels are always empty on the weekend, the bathrooms are filthy, and the sauna is a garbage can. Worst la fitness I have ever been to. I hope someone reads this and makes some changes. read more

Not quite sure why the rating is so low but I'm a fan! I really like how big this location is. Fair warning the weight section will be very crowded especially if you go after work. However I've never had an issue getting a cardio machine. It's a larger LA Fitness so there are courts and workout rooms for sports and classes. Check the schedule for what you like! The locker room for ladies is clean and the pool is not always occupied! All things make this location a plus in my book. read more

La team here was super friendly, as well accommodating. I worked with Moreese, he was very knowledgeable as well gave great advice. On a side note the gym has everything you need, and then some more. I highly recommend using this gym. read more

I have been a loyal customer of LA Fitness in Clark Nj for 7 years now, and love it there! But today, I felt very disrespected. While waiting to use a machine one of the female personal trainers who was off duty walked into the gym with her friends. They walked pass me to wait on the same machine I was standing there waiting on. I was waiting for around 10 -15 minutes before they walked over. Around this time of day the gym is very packed. As soon as one of the machines became available, She bullied me and took the machine. I told her I was waiting there before she got there. She then rudely told me she didn't see me and she wouldn't let me use the machine because she didn't like the way I spoke. I believe she was being a bully and I would like her to be removed from the gym. She shouldn't work in this field if she can't show respect to other individuals. There's also a certain etiquette when you're in the gym. If someone is there waiting before you, they get the machine first. As a person that works there she should understand that. read more

New management and staff ARE THE WORST. So lazy. The new manager just sits down or stays in the front. Multiple machines broken, missing equipment and dumbbells all over the place. Some machines are even missing the pin. Only good thing about this place is convenience. read more

I'm not really sure why I still belong to this gym other than the pool. The parking isn't that bad as it is in the shopping center and it is better than parking was at some other gyms in the area. I'm not certain that the staff knows how to pick up a wait and replace it back to the weight rack. It is a recurring thing to see staff members walk past weights on the floor as well as walking past empty water bottles and paper towels on the floor without even glancing down to pick them up. The locker room is a little nicer than some other locker rooms and they do have two TVs playing continuous news. I like the fact there is a sauna and more than two shower stalls. This club caters to a younger urban crowd and there is just about no chance of playing a little basketball 1 on 1 with a friend any given night. They also have volleyball leagues at night. They finally got a bike rack after over a year of saying one was coming. The Wi-Fi is good. read more

This isn't really LA Fitness' fault, but this is, without a doubt, the most messy, lowest 'gym etiquette' LA Fitness we have gone to (including 20+ states - we travel for work). NO one at this gym seems to get the concept of 'rerack' your weights, I've attached a picture from a typical day at that gym. read more

The new manager has no customer service experience when u call she gives u attitude and keeps saying she the manager yet acts like a bratty kid, never helpful. My boyfriend called and the phone didn't sound good so he called back and she answered with this aggression. Simple if u don't want to help people get out of doing customer service. Now everything and any lil thing I see her do I will be putting her on blast Some one has to be accountable for the so called work she be doing in there. P.s let's see if she gets her staff to clean this location because as u can see from all the reviews they not clean @all. read more

I wanted to take time to acknowledge the trainer Derric Britton, and along with Tino Ohe. Derric - A master trainer is helping me strengthen my weak core. I use to have spasms and now with Derric"s expertise; I am feeling strong we and better. What I like abt Derric. a. Actively listened to my issues. b. Made an assessment and then put in a plan. c. Has performed compression stretch in my back and stomach to alleviate pain. d. Derric also went above and beyond to help me what I was not a client, and helped to mediate with LA fitness. Would highly recommend Derric to anyone who has had back and core issues and looking to get fit. Tino - LA fitness - Clarke should thank Tino for making the club training services feel signature again. See my post earlier; Tino is changing the culture and bringing about a positive change. He actively listens to members concerns and takes actions. read more

Make sure your tetanus shots are up to date before coming to this gym. The cardio equipment is covered and dust, dirt, and debris. The cup holders on ALL of the ellipticals are rusted and peeling. The treadmills sound like they haven't been lubricated in years and half of the TV's don't work. There are no antibacterial wipes, spray bottles with cleaner, or paper towels to wipe down the machines after you use them. I came here ONE day for about 40 minutes and will never return. I was interested in switching from my membership at a different gym, but LA Fitness absolutely cannot compete in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. It's so gross here. I left the place feeling like I had just contracted gangrene. read more

I'm happy and lucky that this gym is nearby work. I now have an option for an LA fitness after work. The Clifton location is mobbed weekdays until 8pm. I came here last Friday and it seemed that membership is still low for this new location. The machines are new and the weight racks are greases. The weights are in and out smoothly. The Bathroom is ventilated and is titled. But, they should have used large tiles for easy cleaning. But, so far its clean and no sign of mold and mildew. I would not sign up for personal training in this location. The Personal training area is lined off in the middle of the gym near the stair. EVERYONE can see you being trained. I'm sure I will be making fun of you in my head in-between my sets. It's like watching 'The Biggest loser" live. There's room near the racquetball courts to have a more private personal training area. There doesn't seem to be ideally placed paper towel and disinfectant solution. It should be everywhere to encourage people to wipe after they are done with machines. I will try to update 1 year later and see if it falls to ruined like the Clifton and Wayne location. So far I hope the more affluent people that workout here have the decency to clean after themselves and keep this gym in top top shape for me to return. read more

LA Fitness - Everyone will look at you funny being trained here - Trainers Near Me - Clark, New Jersey

This place is a joke!!! First off they need to train their employees. The guy who signed me up was flossing his teeth while talking to me disgusting!!! The nastiest part was that he would eat the stuff he would pull from his teeth!!! Wh who does this!!!! I would put a photo but don't want to embarrass him. Should have known this place was going to be dirty. Won't believe what I'm about to say but it's true one of the members pooped himself and cleaned himself off and left the waste in the trash. Everyone was wondering why it smelled like poop and the reason is because the guy continued working out and no one cleaned the trash. When the members asked the employee what the smell was the employee was laughing at the fact that the guy pooped himself. Now this place is a mess group of guys were working out and just throwing weights and didn't bother to put any weights back. Update: I'm not sure who is in charge of closing the gym because of weather, but your are doing an awful jog. This gym is closed every time there is a drop of snow. The roads can be completely clean and they will close. Why!!! Every other gym is open. Someone really needs to look into this and fire these little kids. Who put these kids in charge!!!!!! The whole fuckin plaza is open but they are closed. If the manager is that white kid with the dirty blond hair walking around acting like he runs the shit that explains everything. If you don't wanna work then seat your lazy ass home!!! Look at the photo and tell me that the roads are to dangerous to drive Also if you are planing on going beware they all lie!!! They told me I could access all locations turns out read more

I really thought LA Fitness was the Hollywood of all gyms. No she's just the bougie cousin. I really have so many problems with La Fitness its sad. If there was a planet fitness or crunch closer to my house I wouldn't be here but the location is literally a 5 minute commute two if I'm speeding. I got a really good deal on the membership so I really really don't want to cancel it. But if you have options weigh them. I've been a member here on and off for almost two years. For the most part the front staff is super cool and friendly ( if you're a guy) . The only thing I actually enjoy here are the classes. I love Zumba , Spin and Boot camp. This gym get really crowded during the summer when all the college kids come back home. And then there aren't enough machines to get a good workout in. This gym is definitely not female friendly unless you're showing off your ASSets. I think I will finally cancel my membership this year with them. read more
