I became a member of LA Fitness, Rose Lane in Feb 2010 while taking advantage of a Mates Rates promotion, I've visited the gym regularly since. I mainly use their Spinning Classes which helped me lose over a stone in weight & tone up, however there's a lot more on offer within this average sized, very friendly and welcoming gym. I'm yet to try out their other exercise classes, pool, sauna, jacuzzi etc which are highly rated by friends who also use this gym. The atmosphere within the gym is relaxed, it's not a posers place - you'll discover all shapes & sizes, not just Barbie Dolls & Adonises. Also it's never so packed you can't get near the equipment. To new members they have an optional Kick-Start Programme, you're weighed & measured and shown around the gym equipment, given a lot of helpful advice, then you're invited to return in 12 wks for a re-weigh & measure to see how well or not you've done - I personally avoided the re-measure thing as I couldn't go through a guy measuring my "bits & pieces" again - I was still cringing over the 1st time !! however I'm sure one of the female Instructors could be arranged if you're as easily embarrassed as I discovered I am ! I'd personally highly recommend LA Fitness - I plan to make better use of their wide range of facilities as I'm almost all spinned out now. read more
