Resolution gone wrong???! Overall not a bad spot. All the amenities you need. I just witnessed this young person take on too much in the training space. And to make it worse he had a full on vomit session and the trainers just handed him a can. I have never seen that before. And I know public health in Georgia and the region is a little different than other parts of the county but moments later- a trainer calls a manager to handle. TOP NOTCH... Proud member. read more

LA Fitness - Pan in... - Gyms Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Came in for a one-time visit ($20 for a day pass) and had a great workout. Bonus was the sauna which is always the best way to end a workout. read more

Main room is clean. Most of the equipment is in good working order, but there were some machines that needed work. Men's locker room was clean enough, but not great. Negatives: There was a lack of cleaning supplies to wipe down the equipment. Upstairs with the aerobic equipment, the spay bottle was empty. Downstairs it was hard to find a cleaning station. Some had the premoistened wipes and other had paper towels. You must choose if you want people to take cleaning seriously. Other negative: The music is much louder than most clubs. It was loud enough that it bled through my noise cancelling headset. A lot of people are wearing over-the-ear headphones, a sign that there is a problem here. I watch movies on my cellphone while on aerobic machines. No fun having thumping music bleed though into the story. read more

First time here and truly expected this location to be one of the nicest in ATL. It is a large facility with lots of equipment. It is also dirty. The carpet is old and ripped in many locations. No paper towels to clean. Some machines broken with signs they are schedule for repair. It appears to me from the many locations I have been to that the brand has suffered and perhaps the financial impact is reflected in the poor maintenance. I am very disappointed with LA Fitness in general, and this location. read more

Let me start by saying that working out is not my fortay, but like a lot of folks I put on a few pounds during the pandemic and wanted to get in the best shape possible. I've never been athletic and hate sweating, but I had to get this weight off of me. Not only that, I want to be toned and overall healthy. The gym is spacious and their equipment is usually organized and functions properly. I've been to other gyms where the equipment is broke down and weights are everywhere. I started weightlifting on my own and saw some results, but wasn't getting where I wanted to be. I did an assessment with the director of training and learned some useful tips and eventually signed up for group boot camp classes. There are no more than 10 people in the groups. The trainers push you, but in a motivational way. The group classes are affordable and you get a great work out. There are 11 classes weekly and they have morning and afternoon sessions available. The staff here is great. I'd absolutely recommend this gym to anyone. read more

The owners/managers of the LA Fitness in Decatur ONLY respond if you leave a positive review. That being said, management at this location doesn't care about your health and wellbeing as they don't care if their equipment is wiped down after use. It appears management wants you to sit in other people's sweat! So disgusting! Their trainers, especially the one female trainer I see there often, works with clients on equipment, and then they just get up and walk away when finished. Not even a thought of telling her client to wipe down the equipment for the next person's use. Probably explains why half the time the disinfectant wipe containers are empty. Management appears to be too lazy to refill or restock....again, because they just don't care. And absolutely zero signage in the place reminding people to wipe down equipment when done using. It's a shame because they gave decent equipment. This place needs a visit from the Dept of Health. read more

If you've ever been to an LA Fitness, this is exactly like that. It's not a massive club, but it does the job. Recently they've started requiring masks in the gym with the resurgence in Georgia, which makes a lot of sense, since people blast air out of their mouths while exercising. However, you get a lot of meatheads with their masks down over their mouths or wearing them as chin-guards, which not only looks absurd, but also defeats the purpose of mask-wearing. Let me guess, "The pump is more important, I can't breathe with this thing on!?" Yeah...get Covid and then see how much muscle you lose over the several weeks you're on bedrest...I lost 13 pounds of it back in March due to Covid. I digress. They hand out spray bottles when you walk in, everything is mostly clean, there aren't any machines in disrepair and there are an adequate number of them. Weights are put back where they belong, surprisingly for an LA Fitness, what more could you ask for? I started going here after lockdown so not sure if they normally have mats and bands and stuff for people to use, but this one doesn't at the moment. All in all, this is a pretty well-kept club. read more

Great location to train in whenever I'm in the area. The GM Justin is the best I've encountered throughout numerous LAF across the country

I've been a member of LA fitness for about 5 years now (joined when I moved to Georgia). I regularly visit the club in Stone Mountain during the week and then the Decatur location on the weekends. This morning I decided to attend Decatur just to mix things up a bit. I've included a photo below to show the locker situation and how they have the signs posted for which lockers can and cannot be used. I've also circled the locker I used (note that it does not have a sign). To my disappointment, after I returned from my workout (approximately 5:40am), I found that my lock was cut off along with many other locks. The attendant indicated that he was instructed to cut off all locks where there were signs posted. Although I agree with the club's intent here (reinforce that you shouldn't use lockers that say they are out of order), the fact that my locker had no sign (along with several others in the area, should have given him pause. The better approach would have been to place signs appropriately before we entered the gym, post a sign at the front to say that they will now start cutting locks if you use locks with signs (by the way, the ones with signs have a clip tie that stops you from opening it, so not sure how people would use anyway). They cut my lock and gathered my belongings in a plastic bag and took to the front. It took me a minute to understand what had happened (figured it out as I heard others complaining). This is unacceptable!!!!!! Not the experience I'm expecting when I come here. If we want to enforce rules, we should clean up our act first (e.g. put signs where they should be). We should warn the guests before randomly cutting locks. When I spoke to the attendant, he indicated that they told him to cut all locks! Clearly they misinformed him or he didn't understand. read more

This is a great location. I love my Trainor Courtney Drake, I've never had a Trainor and wasn't sure what to expect. Well that didn't last long. She is tough, she pushes you to you abilities you didn't know existed, she has tracked me down to get me there, motivated, and very friendly people. Covid regulations practiced abd there us a nice clean sauna to help with those ache muscles. read more

Where do I begin? Let me start with the good: there's a lady who cleans the machines and does a really good job. She needs a raise! The rest are all bad: 1. They have an initiation fee for everything. There's one to join, one for a personal trainer, and maybe one if you sneeze. It's ridiculous! 2. People stay on the machines way too long and are on their phones 80% of the time. No rule to limit the time on a machine when someone is waiting like other gyms. Some people leave their stuff on a machine and wander and expect that the machine not be used. They come back and say "I was using the machine". Sometimes people will be using two machines at the same time and expect no one to use either. This is management's fault for not setting the proper expectations. The trainers contribute to this foolishness as well. 3. Machines take forever to be serviced when broken. There's way too many things to list in the "bad" category. I hope management makes some changes or a better gym opens in the area. read more

I would like to let all of the fitness buffs, those who need to get up off their sofa's from being locked in because of COVID-19 and have gotten fat, those who just want to feel better in the brain, people who just believe in staying healthy and everybody else to make your way to the LaFitness on Church street in Decatur Georgia. The leadership, staff, and front desk too are absolutely amazing and passionate about fitness and helping you become fit!!! I recently started back my fitness journey and I was very apprehensive about joining a gym. On the very first day I was put at ease, given a manageable, customized and realistic fitness program that I can stick too! They have so many options to select from to keep your workout program interesting such as personal training, group personal training, Zumba, group exercise classes, swimming pool, sauna, and nice locker rooms you name it! The gym is always clean and the people just care about your health and wellness and they are down to earth. Trust me, you will leave with the feeling of hurting so good - LOL! I want to let the world know the LaFitness brand is operating in excellence because the team and leadership at the Church street location take pride in what they do!!! All the trainers including the leadership is passionate about health, fitness and wellness and as long as your willing to put in the work, you will reach your goal and be supported every step of the way!!! Kudos to the LaFitness Team at the Church street location, keep up the great work! Be safe and stay well! Tara Hawes read more

The Hot Tub has been broken since September. They don't even bother putting up a sign. They never answer the phones. Pathetic. Where's the customer service? Great Location but why have all the amenities if they're always broken or closed? read more

There's a broken lane line sitting by the pool, it's been there for three months. Not only is it a safety hazard, but it's a safety hazard in the pool. 75% of the time the Jacuzzi is non-functional. No one seems to care what's going on in the pool area at this club. If you're not interested in a pool just find someplace cheaper to work out read more

Why, LA Fitness??? I have been coming here for years spending my money and this level of unprofessionalism baffles my mind. I understand that you want to squeeze every dime possible out of people that you can, but sometimes it just goes too far. I get that the PT area should prioritize people paying extra money for training and I respect that, however 1st don't lie and say people are walking out of LA Fitness with the equipment that is bigger than their body; don't insult my intelligence. 2nd taking photos of my membership makes me feel very UNSAFE, and even though I have never had issues at any other LA Fitness, this makes me question how safe I am here, and perhaps I should terminate my membership. At no other gym, EVER have I had these concerns which begs the question, why am I still here?? I am a Healthcare provider and I am mentally and emotionally exhausted when I come to work out. I come to recharge so that I may keep saving lives with a continued fervor. If you are going to drain me of my energy AND MAKE ME FEEL UNSAFE before I even begin my workout, what is the point??? read more

Update: this place is still an absolute dump. Literally, the mens locker room is apparently a dump. Because there are paper towels strewn across the floor each and every day, typically after they let the garbage bins overflow. I was told by corporate new, better management was in place, which is ironic because it gets worse with each passing day read more

Dirty. Just plane dirty and in need of serious maintenance. To top it all off they have been closed for the last few days with no opening day in sight. This will likely be my first and only year at this gym. read more

This location has been incredibly crowded every time I've been. My last gym was a Planet Fitness, where they have strict policies about keeping personal belongings in lockers and cleaning the equipment when you are done. I was surprised at how much the lack of these two things at LA fitness bothered me, but people have their bags all over the place and there are not stations with cleaning supplies dedicated to wiping down your equipment, which seemed gross to me (especially in this post-Covid era). Those are two cons - others include limited parking near the entrance and certain equipment I was used to using, like kettlebells, TRX, and boxes for jumps all being roped off and only available if you do personal training. They do have cool amenities here - pool, basketball court, sauna. These weren't my style, but those, combined with the group fitness classes, make this gym seem more reasonably priced. Eventually I was only using this gym for the Tues/Wed night yoga classes with Nicky, but once she left I realized it wasn't worth staying. I hate that gyms make it so hard to find pricing, so I'm including a pic of what I paid. I chose the higher up-front joining fee in order to pay less monthly, and this was a single person membership. read more

I also got my lock cut after being told it was OK to use the locker. The staff through its incompetence has managed to turn a decent facility into a "shitty" gym.

While this equipment I pay to use sits broken, the staff managed to find the time and effort to bolt every locker closed. read more

This LA fitness is clean and usually you can grab one of the many treadmills and stairclimbers during peak hours The body works plus classes here are really good, although this gym is not good at keeping the subs updated and often classes are cancelled The locker room is small but the area is pretty well maintained. The sauna is probably one of the most hot in the Atlanta area and it's pretty clean Downside ... It's not centrally located and inconvenient for an after work commute read more

LA Fitness - Small but clean - Gyms Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

The gym has every equipment that you need. Plus great staff, very accommodating and helpful.

The creeper level here is over 9000. I actually like this gym, but only early morning and holidays. There's a brief opening during late afternoon where women can workout comfortably and appreciate the body she built without gawking eyes. Guys will be guys though and maybe some women like that attention, but if you're like me then I'd definitely rather make the most of my gym time because I have gains to make. Depending on the day and amount of traffic, this gym can smell like an old sweaty gym sock and it's quite potent. Understandable why the staff can't keep up with the cleaning here because it's difficult for members to be courteous enough to clean after themselves. This isn't a high school gym. We're adults right? I only force myself to go here purely out of convenience if my schedule hinders me from going in the morning. Any other time I'm usually working out with my fiancé, and that's pretty much the only time I can get in a good workout here. Wish it wasn't so, but it is what it is I guess. The gym itself is A1 though. I love the equipment here, but during rush hours I grab whatever I can because it's every man for himself out there. The cardio area is upstairs and there's an array of machines to choose from. The main area downstairs is nice as well. Plenty of room in the weightlifting area, although I don't really know why anyone would do HIIT in the weightlifting area when there's a fairly large area for that towards the front of the gym. The classroom is also empty most times I've been there, so you can do it in there too. I really like the leg machines here. They've got everything you need for the peach gains. The women's sauna is ok. It's nice when it's not jammed pack and when ladies aren't constantly in and out. I don't really interact with the staff here because they look like they can't be bothered, so I don't, and I don't find any need to. There's a pool and they offer swimming lessons for kids. Not included in any memberships though I believe. read more

LA Fitness is located in Suburban Plaza strip mall (Decatur & Church junction). It is a new-ish location. There, you will be able to find a 3-lane pool, a sauna, a jacuzzi, kids corner (similar to child care will you work out), basketball court with games on-going every time I'm there, spinning classroom, and an aerobics studio. Parking here is ample, therefore no excuse to avoid because parking lot might be full LOL. I have been to gyms both in Singapore and here. Attended both Planet Fitness as well as LA Fitness and the difference is clear. Whilst I love how affordable PF is, it isn't a club for me as it doesn't have classes. I signed up when they had a deal so I'm paying about $20 monthly instead of $25. That's $10 more than PF but I feel I get much more in return. I love classes because I need to work in a group and need the motivation of an instructor pushing my lazy butt to work out. I cannot depend on myself to run on the treadmill unsupervised and I'm too cheap to pay for a Personal Trainer. If you are into group workouts, there are always classes in the mornings and evenings. Nothing in the afternoon, guess they cater to the working crowd. I've been classes in the mornings and they are rather well-attended, not crowded and you get enough room to move around as the studio is rather big. Secondly, the bathrooms are clean, there is always someone cleaning the area. She cleans both bathrooms as well as the general gym area. She does a great job. Besides her, other staff here are friendly too. They welcome you when you arrive, acknowledge you when they see you in the gym and when you leave. As for equipments, I've only seen maybe 1 or 2 machines with 'repair scheduled' pasted on it. Doesn't matter much to me since there are plenty of similar machines available. Lastly, the pool & spa area is always kept clean. I have yet to see anything that grosses me out yet. One think I wish LAF have are energy fruit i.e. banana(?) to energize and 'reward' the morning people... Just a wish. read more

Overall my experience with this location was positive. Knowledgeable/helpful staff, nice variety of gym equipment and easy for me to get in and out without too much hassle or waiting for a machine that I wanted to use. Would go to this location again. read more

Ehhhh, some locations I'll never visit again. They used to be better. Either it's smelly, equipment is broken, too crowded, or all three .

DISCLAIMER: LA Fitness already had a bad rep after my Norcross visit years ago. I remember guys hanging outside the aerobics studio watching the girls do Zumba and one creep (not dressed in gym attire by the way) who actually stood and stared at me while my legs opened and closed on the Hip Adductor. Gross! Nonetheless, the YMCA closes way early and this fabulous fitness facility had a free three day guest pass on Yelp, so I thought why not! It looks fantastic! Its clean, modern and stock-piled with new weight machines and free weights. There is more than enough room to workout comfortably. The facilities include Wi-Fi, a spin room, a pool, a basketball gym, fitness classes and a sauna. But the thing about me is that I'm not impressed with looks. You need personality! I should have known it had none because every self-obsessed gym rat I've ever dated was an LA Fitness devotee. I'm talking die-hard, solitary, train for four hours at a time enthusiasts. And that's exactly what I saw. Most members worked out alone and took themselves way too seriously. There were no smiling faces. I'm not saying the YMCA is Cheers but you do get an occasional hello! There was also no diversity. Don't get me wrong, there were different races and genders. But where were the old people and kids? With the exception of one lady with a walker and a candy girl in hot pink shorts, all I saw were mindless robots. It was like Gattaca! Before you're too hard on me, I do have a gym background. I was a member of Core Decatur (which I loved until they threw me out because of my pollen allergy), a few ladies gyms and several Y's. I've worked out everywhere from bare bones, two star hotel fitness centers to the Four Seasons which has chilled towels and fresh fruit. This was by far the most uninspiring workout I've ever had. I could not wait to get out of there! Here are a few of my dislikes: 1. They have bad music. If you're going to play music it should be up-tempo, current and commercial-free. Or be like Planet Fitness and have big TV's and a pop of color! 2. The cardio machines are all upstairs with neither ventilation nor fans in the area or on the equipment. So you're sweating buckets thinking you're having a killer workout but your heart rate is only 115 bpm. Seriously. 3. The 'new' cardio machines are actually ancient Life Fitness models. There are only two types of ellipticals. Half are 90's versions and the other half (which I've only seen here) are elevated so you look like you're trotting on a horse. There are only two types of bikes, several treadmills and a few stair mills but there's no variety. They could use a wheelchair friendly SciFit bike, a low impact Nu Step for heavier users, some Arc Trainers and a Lateral X. Spice it up! 4. Instead of wet wipes, they have paper towels and hand sanitizer. Do you know how inefficient it is to interrupt your circuit and go get a paper towel and spray some cheap hand foam on it? Get some wipes already! 5. They don't have towels. (Most gyms don't other than my favorite Clairmont Y but still.. I'm petty.) 6. They do have one cool, quirky workout area with exercise balls, resistance bands, jelly-bell dumbbells, kettlebells etc. but it's for personal trainers only. Members who pay $89 to join and $30 per month should have access to the ENTIRE gym! Especially when no-ones in there. In short, for most folks who enjoy classes, basketball and swimming, or are fit, serious, solo workout buffs who know their weight machines it's probably great. But as for me, I'd rather belong to a gym with friendly faces, a few pieces of key equipment and a good ventilation system. read more

Showers dirty/sauna dirty too. Never really like this la fitness. Need more people to clean it up. Front desk people not kind either

The equipment lay out is nice and that's the only positive. Staff and cleanliness is one of the worst in the area. Mostly on phones while the paper towels, spray bottles and soap dispensers are constantly empty. Gym/Staff is selfish and keep majority of equipment locked up for personal training, lack of weight clips, multiple machines always broken. It serves it purpose for cardio workouts but nothing else. I drive past this location for other LA fitness locations to get a better workout and customer service. read more

Oh LA fitness!! This is going to be a tough one. Negatives: I go here to get my cardio done. This place has managed to look old within 3 months of starting. Bathrooms are nasty and hot as eff because they are right next to the sauna room. People get sauna to detox but if you want to get sick you use this sauna. People sit in the sauna here with their gym clothes and gym shoes on. It's nasty just like the other location on north Druid hills road. Well the other location is worst because I actually saw one lady drying her clothes in the sauna. If you go between 430 and 7 good luck with finding a parking spot. Weight area is always crowded. Can't use kettle bells, plyo boxes, battle ropes because they are in personal training section and you can only use them if you are training with a trainer. Positives: 1. Good enough to get my work done. 2. Staff is pleasant 3. I use their studio sometimes and it's pretty clean. Warnings: 1. Be prepared to surround yourself by people who talk loud on the phone while trying to get their cardio. They are so loud that even music on you phone can't help. 2. If you are a woman be prepared to face random strangers trying to talk to you. Again, headphones in you ears doesn't help. 3. Don't keep your valuables in the car. Lot of break-ins recently in the parking lot. Note: If you can talk on the phone while working out then it's not working. read more

Clean gym with plenty of equipment. They follow CDC guidelines which I LOVE. I was apprehensive about coming back but Myles the manager reassured me and made me feel like family! Myles recommended Casey to me as a personal trainer and I'm so glad he did. She's friendly and easy to get along with so the sessions aren't awkward. She always asks me what I want to focus on and helps me push through it. Most importantly she stays on top of me about coming in (even squeezes me in when I forget to make appointments) which I couldn't appreciate more! read more

Pros: nice and new Cons: I've been to many LA Fitnesses and have never been to one that did not have an uphill elliptical rider.

Sometimes hot in here, hard to find parking and a line for equipment. read more

As others have said, the equipment is often in need of repair, particularly the stair climbers. Based on equipment I'd give this place three stars. Regarding customer service, though, one star. I called one evening and was told that the manager Ann Abraham, would cancel my membership the next day, and if I didn't receive email confirmation to call and confirm. Called to see why I hadn't received a confirmation, and it turns out you can't cancel via phone. You also can't cancel online. They make it inconvenient, even during Covid, to cancel a membership. If you don't want to go to the gym to cancel (9-5 Monday-Friday, you know, when most people work) you have to print out and mail in a form (like many, I don't have a printer, and I don't entirely trust them to process it if I mail it in). I called HQ, and they said they only have these two options so that they can, well, talk you out of, but only 9-5 Monday - Friday even though they're open hours beyond that. They have the mail-in option if, shockingly, that's not convenient. When I asked why there's that option but not an option to submit the cancellation online, it's because "those are our two options". But why, "it's our two options". It's a racket. They want to make it difficult to cancel your membership, and they can't explain their way out of it because there's no reason. read more

They could do a much better job cleaning up around here. I won't touch the stairmasters or treadmills until I throughly wipe them down. Even then, I'm a little grossed out. Also, the water fountain has had the Maintenance Light flashing for the past 3 weeks. And yes, that is a puddle of sweat left over from a cycling class- photo was taken an hour after the class ended. On a positive note, the staff is super friendly. read more

I started going here this week. Given the monthly membership rate, I'd rate this gym highly. It's spacious, and especially for cardio equipment and free weights, there are no waits. Since it's a new gym, pretty much all the cardio equipment is working fine. They have some newer stationary cycles with lumbar support, and a couple of upper body machines (i.e. arm rotation machines) that are good for people with rotator-cuff problems who need stronger shoulders. I haven't used the pool or sauna, and I haven't tried out any classes so I can't comment on any of that. Maybe it's because it's just after Christmas, but I've had no problems with parking or traffic. I live in downtown Decatur and I'm glad I can get to this gym on Scott. Even during rush hour, Scott Blvd. traffic moves at 45mph, unlike N Decatur or Clairmont where it's somewhere between 5mph and 5.25mph. They have a standard hard sell, so even if you just want to be left alone to work out, you're going to be interrogated about your goals on your first day there. You'll also be offered a special discounted rate, which is neither special nor discounted. read more

My car just got broken into outside this gym. Someone must have watched me put my purse in the hatchback of my car and lock the car. They broke out the back window, broke the cover of the hatchback, stole the bag and had already tried to use the cards all before I got back from my workout 40 minutes later. The manager on duty was just worried about her own car which was parked next to mine, and ran off to move it before she gave me any attention or filed a report. No sign of the supposed security which was organized because of so many car break ins. I will be looking for another gym and/or another location. read more
