I had a scheduled tour at LA Fitness at 8:00 a.m. on February 6, 2026. Unfortunately, the experience was unsatisfactory. Upon my arrival, I was not acknowledged by the employee at the reception desk. Following a staff change, the situation did not improve. The second employee informed me that she was the only staff member present, was unable to conduct a tour, and that no one else was available to do so. She attempted to contact the General Manager, but he did not respond. I was then asked to wait until a manager arrived, which was not going to happen as i do have a job. I later received a call from the General Manager, during which I shared my feedback regarding the experience. A new tour was subsequently scheduled for the following day. read more

I've been coming to this gym for almost a year, and I honestly don't have any problems. I'm not high maintenance so a lot of the lower rated experiences are not the same as mine. The machines work, the staff is always nice to me and my son, who is deaf and autistic. They have a little "store" that sells smoothies, energy drinks and protein snacks. Is it perfect, no... but I don't need it to be. They have everything I need to get a good workout in and after my workout I am able to go sit in the sauna... which is a perk for me! read more

I been coming to this gym since 2023 and it's just dirty. The bathrooms are dirty only one sink have a working soap dispenser. The toilets are never flushed, they need to upgrade to the self flushing toilets. The floor have paper towels all over the place. Now let's go to the lockers we have a swimmer program now with kids it takes a month for the kids finger prints to be removed from the mirror showing it's not wiped down. The floors have hair all over the place and the locker sinks one dispenser work and two sinks dont work. The gym needs to close down for a week and get renovating done. A cleaning staff needs to go into the budget the employees are not keeping the gym clean. The sit on their phones all day and just greet you checking in , pull trash and pick up the sanitizing sheets. The gym needs to do better or all the customers will run to the new gym fitness20/20z read more

Only had a three day pass due to being in town for a short while; but this is a huge, clean, well organized gym with a Pool!!! The staff is really nice and welcoming. It is quiet and clean. There is also a sauna. The parking lot is huge...and yes trucks could move aside better once when I went, but they never seemed to block the road. Highly recommend this gym. read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE HERE STAY AWAY!!! I recently purchased a membership here. The machines work okay, the free weights are unorganized, and the sauna doesn't work very well and is very dirty. The staff here is extremely rude. The personal trainers are very scummy and racist; they won't even help you out. The people who go here are horrible too. You go to a gym to work out, not to judge others or give people dirty looks. DO BETTER. read more

Is this a Gym or a truck stop? Semi trucks and trailers are always blocking the road. Parking lot is disgusting with trash and bottles everywhere. Inside the gym no one cares bathrooms are falling apart lockers are falling apart. Sauna is always broken. Spend your money somewhere else read more

LA Fitness - Trucks blocking road - Gyms Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

The worst service ever. The most ghetto and rude customer service Ive ever been to. I've never been asked to get my ID from my car to check in. This place never have wipes to wipe down the machines. I'm only coming because their sauna works. Need to hire better people person or at least train them better. I pay for my membership.. aka your job. read more

This gym use to be one of the best, bit not any more looks like they don't care about customers any more read more

See all

Not Bad At All! I just moved from Miami to McDonough, and I was apprehensive that this gym would be TRASH due to all the reviews I read. I decided to give it a shot anyways. The gym is spotless, and due to the new equipment, all machines are brand new, basically. The gym is much smaller than where I came from, but you can easily find everything. I've been there several times, and it's never BUSY like I am used to it. They have ONE SMITH MACHINE, which is CRAZY! That is probably the only machine that I see people waiting around for. Everyone is friendly as well. I would highly recommend this gym. read more

Recent transplant from LosAngeles to McDonough. It's been a good six months, away from a gym, that hits all the sweet spots for me, including a pool. Within minutes, the General Manager Sidney, walked me through the membership process and set up my assessment. He and the staff were professional and kind. I'm starting to fall in love with Georgia and grateful to get back to a consistent workout, a hot spa and a daily morning swim. Let me not forget... they have a juice bar!!!!!!!! I may never leave! Grateful! Cheryl read more

Great customer service! Sydney was helpful. Had a great training class and gym is always clean.

I joined this gym in late May of 2021, mainly because I wanted to swim. It's a big box gym that has some Covid protocols in place. During the pandemic, there was plenty of PPE to wipe down machines and some people wore masks and others didn't. Since I work from home, it was a relief to have somewhere to go to get out of the house for a bit. I've still been going here for just about a year now and it's a gym. I find it to be generally pretty clean. They have all the standard stuff at a gym and the staff is friendly. The pool is sometimes not working, but that seems to be the standard at most gyms. There's a hot tub and an infrared sauna as well. This location has a basketball court that is always in use. I mostly stick to the weights, some of the machines and some cardio. There are also classes for cardio, weights, SPIN classes, Pilates, yoga, Zumba, etc. I'm happy with my experience. read more

This location is ghetto! Save your money and go elsewhere!! We are a Military family that recently was re-stationed from GA to KS. After finding that there was no LA Fitness in KS, the app directed me call my home store to cancel my membership. I called my Home store in McDonough GA and was told that I needed to call back today between 9am-5pm EST, to speak with the Operations Manager Ariana to cancel my membership. I called back as instructed and was told that "her personal policy" was not to cancel memberships over the phone. This is not the company's policy-this is her policy. I offered to email her the Military orders, because I honestly don't have time to go back and fourth about a gym membership. However she continues to advise that I need to come in the store. When she was tired of speaking reasonably, she cold drops me into the customer service line which is closed at 9:36am on a Tuesday morning! If this isn't ridiculous enough, I called back to try to resolve the issue; Arianna then advised me to call 949-255-7200 at 10pm because "her personal policy" somehow justified her unwillingness to assist me. I usually don't write reviews about ignorance, but somehow this is exactly what this is...poor customer service and ignorance! I would never utilize LA Fitness again! I will share these sentiments with fellow Military family I know! LA Fitness does not provide any Military discounts and they make it incredibly difficult to cancel your memberships after PCSing. My personal observation is that LA Fitness is not a Military friendly company- I will pass every time on companies like this! read more

I've been a member of LA fitness for several years and decided to come to this gym while on a work trip . Came on a Tuesday evening and stayed for about 30 mins before I decided to leave . When I walked in there was no staff at the front desk, which I overlooked. The gym was pretty busy at this time which was expected . Most of the cardio machines were free which is good for those seeking to do cardio workouts. The weight room was impossible to navigate through and had heavy traffic. Unfortunately, people tend to hog weights and machines so do not plan on getting anything done here. Machinery is also a bit outdated . As others mentioned this gym is not clean; I saw roaches crawling around during my visit. I recommend not putting any items on the ground. The last straw for me was when I was approached by staff to ask if I had abandoned my child in the kids club mid workout . Really strange as this was my first visit and I don't have kids haha. Definitely recommend staying clear of this gym. read more

Trash staff they close the basketball court hours before closing just so they don't have to clean, rude and racist. Any review above 1 star is a lying employee or is a paid review. read more

Absolute worst experience ! Signed up for a class, online through the appThe instructor was a no-show per usual.. after waiting 15 minutes, I spoke with a short African-American female manager who seem Really care less because it was not her department.. Needless to say I canceled my membership !! I do not recommend the McDonaugh location and it's turned into a ghetto Sh*t show, with no real practice of actual CDC guidelines being conducted in regards to the pandemic read more

Trey is the BOMB.COM , best location everrrrrrr, he was very helpful setting me up and getting in shape.

Generally, a good place for a personal workout, classes (great cardio workout in the cycling class), dry sauna and pool. I'm a bit of a clean freak so I'd like to see the sauna facilities cleaned throughout the day, but I recognize dozens if not hundreds of people use the space each day. Overall, I'd recommend this LA Fitness location. read more

Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. It's turned into a habit for this gym not to open on time. I get up at 430AM to come to this gym and a GOOD AMOUNT of the time they DO NOT open the doors at 5AM-I'm literally waiting on them to open NOW. People have sh-t to do and y'all so lazy throwing people schedule off. It got a 1 cuz I had to rate it! read more

They do not keep this facility clean! I would recommend any other LA Fitness or other fitness facilities.

Zumba instructors are excellent but the ceiling in the studio leaks so it's been 2 months of no class in the room. No estimated time of repair completion and the management has asked basket ball players to forego use of court to facilitate Zumba class and basketball ball players are saying no. It's a liability that causes hostility between basketball players and Zumba students all while gym collects ALL our membership fees. AVOID THIS LOCATION. CATCH INSTRUCTORS AT ALTERNATE LOCATION. read more

There should be no problem getting all the classes back up and running since the pandemic restrictions have been lifted. We have heard all kinds of dumb excuses as to why the Aqua class is not open. The Aqua instructor we had before the pandemic is still available. The problem is Norma the fitness coordinator did not like her because she is old. She is dependable and on time. Those young girls half show up. We want Maxine back on the day shift 9-10 every day. Norma does not care for the elderly she barely speaks if you speak to her. She is an awful coordinator. The other fitness centers have started their classes back up. Maxine is still teaching at one place in Buckhead. I think LA fitness should get rid of NORMA. read more

Looks clean when you walk in But then the smells smacks you in the face. A mixture of sweat and dirty mop water. I've been to many other LaFitnesses throughout the country and I know the quality varies from location to location because the owners are different But LAWD. This place is a dump. It's outdated and not well taken care of. The sauna has broken benches that pinch you when you sit. And you can tell the pool is rarely properly cleaned. This isn't my home gym, Thankfully I was just here on business. I hope next time I come back it's in better shape and smell. read more

This location is VERY FILTHY, which is not good due to Covid. This is definitely not a good spot! Machines are dusty, locker room, and shower area is UNACCEPTABLE! I joined here for the purpose of the pool and I'm VERY disappointed especially since l also go to Planet Fitness and it's ALWAYS CLEAN IN THERE! LA Fitness fees are way too high for me to have to use an unclean facility!!!!! I really want my money back and it hasn't been a week #annoyed read more

I came across this LA Fitness visiting my family in the area. I am a LA Fitness instructor in another state and I was MORTIFIED to see how rude and unprofessional the front desk was as well as the club manager!! I corrected the manager on an LA Fitness policy (this is not a franchisee, rules are the same with every club) and he responded with, "You must be new here." Umm...no those are the policies!! LA Fitness is a great brand, just stay clear of this location! read more

I cant even get a membership because no one will answer the phone and showing up to location no one was there. I guess other guests with memberships were all locked outside. No sign on the door. Just no one decided to open today or yesterday I guess? Within regular business hours both days. Very irritating. read more

PLACE IS DDDDDIIIIIIRRRRTTTTYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! Worked out at 5am and saw roaches crawling on the floor. They need to deep clean this place ASAP. Especially with COVID season still here. read more

I was at the gym today, after one year to not been there because the COVID19. the gym not was crowded but it is very dirty specially all around de machines in the first floor, and smelly a sweat. PLEASE CLEAN THE GYM and MORE DOING THIS PANDEMIC TIME. PLEASE, PLEASE. We like to go to the gym very much. read more

Ahhh Los Angeles Fitness where do I begin. Let me start by saying I've exercised at most of the LA Fitness locations around the Atlanta metro area with this location being the farthest south that I've traveled to work out. The very first thing you'll notice about this particular LA Fitness is it's proximity to the exit ramp on highway 75. From the outside of the McDonough location you'll notice that the building looks up-to-date and fairly new. When you walk into the location the staff members at the front desk are always attentive and happy like they just ate a snickers bar. The locker rooms are fairly clean yet I wish they had TVs in the locker rooms so I can listen to SportsCenter as I pop my pre-workout pills and give myself a weight lifting pep talk. The equipment is fairly new and the weights are usually re-racked in their proper weight section. The staff at this particular location are pretty cool. They actually talk to you and joke around but don't get in your way. I like that. The fellow LA Fitness members are okay, like any gym you'll have your watchers and your 'I wear my sunglasses in the gym' types but I haven't witnessed anyone (or anything) out of the ordinary at this particular location. The saunas are hot and the shower areas are pretty clean. Sidenote: I don't understand people who complain about a sauna being 'too hot'. IT'S A SAUNA!!! An ultra hot sauna means you don't have to sit in the sauna longer and you can be on your way faster. If you can't take the heat get out of the sauna, now. I have not swam in the pool at this particular location but it looks like someone is always taking advantage of the amenity. I must say that this location is pretty packed between 5-9am, 4-8pm and 8-2pm on Saturdays. But seriously, what clean and fairly new gym isn't packed during that time? If you're in the area and you feel like exercising this wouldn't be a bad choice. Just make sure you bring a snickers for the staff at the front desk and you'll be fine. read more

The staff is not helpful at all the machines are filthy and use my Clorox wipes you can see the dirt on the Clorox wipes very nasty thinking about canceling my membership read more

This location recently got a new manager. The new manager is much more personable compared to the previous manager. She greets you with a smile as you enter the gym, which helps to get your workout started on a positive note. The gym is clean and lately all of the equipment has been in working order. I current have an issue with my knee and I am limited to the cardio exercises that I can engage in. My doctor suggested that I use the pool, which I did, but the chlorine broke Me out, which earned me a trip to the doctors office to discover that I'm allergic to the chlorine. So the only other option that I could come up with is to hula hoop, with as much padding under my foot as possible to help protect my knee. Before I started to hoop, I spoke with the new manager and asked her permission to use the racquetball room, which I did receive. So I started hula hooping in there. When it was not too hot outdoors I would hoop outdoors. I hooped about two weeks outdoors, before it started to rain and I ended up back in the racquetball room. I'm not sure of this gentleman's position in the gym. The only interaction I've ever had with him is getting kicked out of the racquetball room. On this particular day I briefly left the room to go to the ladies room. I see the guy taking the new manager to the room that I was using pointing out whatever. As I was leaving I asked the manager if I could still use the room. She said that the room could not be used because another upper level manager said that the rooms could only be used for racquetball. I would have had no issue with that if the rules applied to every LA Fitness member. They didn't even check the other rooms to see if other people were in them working out. They came directly to my room, pointed out the issues and went about their day. The new manager did brainstorm about some places that I could possibly hoop. I felt like I would have been on display or in the way if I had gone with her suggestions but appreciated the effort. The next day, I was back outside, but there were two gentlemen jump roping in two of the RB rooms, and were never disturbed. One of the guys jumped for an entire hour and no one ever said anything to him. I did not understand what the big issue was with me hooping. Not only did I protect the floor, I remained basically in one spot while the jump ropers were all over the place. So I brought this to the new managers attention, she immediately led me to the desk of the gentleman. Again I'm not sure of his title or position. So he starts talking about my contract and court fees, which I do not mind paying, but it seems like the rules were changing as I sat there. I knew about court fees but never had I heard that you had to pay a fee to simply use the court. So I was told there would be a court fee to use the racquetball court. Before I had this conversation I called corporate who in turn called management and I was told that I could hoop in the room as long as nobody wanted to play racquetball. I never got the opportunity to use it after my conversation with cooperate because the rules started changing for me. As I stated to management there is no consistency in the rules. I know for a fact that I'm singled out, but what manager or staff member would ever admit that. I have no issue with the rules as long as they're not made up during a conversation specifically for me. When things don't make sense I seek understanding and clarity so I call corporate. This is my personal opinion and experience with LA Fitness. read more

Came in from out of town and I had a pleasant experience working out in this gym. Members and staff are nice and courteous, the gym is clean and not overcrowded, at least not Sunday evening. All equipments were in working order. Clean gym and lockers. Will come back for more! read more

The worst ever! Worst employees, rude and racist, worst management. Have had issues with my account for two years Names appear wrong, or I come and my name is not on the account. I have signed the contract at least four times to correct names or add myself again read more

This review is for the McDonough, GA, LA gym. The operations mgr., Ty H. was professional and courteous. My husband and I wanted information and a tour to determine if we wanted to join this center. Ty gave us a tour which caused him to go to lunch later than planned. We realized he was very busy and people were coming in but he used his 'people skills and organizational skills' to make things happen. We joined because of Ty. We recommend you support him with other workers like him and give him a raise. He makes LA Fitness look good. We have seen bad customer service at other centers. Please make this a 'model center' which begins with hiring the right people. The right people will keep it clean, especially the whirlpool and swimming pool, machines working and respond courteously to customers. read more

I went to the gym with an open mind after reading so many negative reviews. One of the representatives showed me around and as we walked he was bothered by some of my questions I asked. He than showed me the numbers $ to join the gym. I asked if I could get the 7 day trial and he said no. . I know all of the LA fitness look the same but I really wanted to see the atmosphere before spending to much money. I told him I would take my money somewhere else. I don't recommend this facility. Don't waste your time. read more

This spot is not thoroughly being clean. Went into the sauna and the same trash was in there. Please make sure you are cleaning excessively during this pandemic. Other than that not a lot of people so that's even better read more

I've been to several of their other locations and this one is by far the cleanest. The staff and member are very friendly. Great place to start or begin your day. The smoothies are great too. read more

This is by far my favorite la fitness. The gym has great equipment. The staff is very friendly and the gym is always clean. My trainer Mr. Carter is always friendly and always has something to add positive during each of my sessions. His work outs are great for my level of fitness. Try this gym you won't regret it!! read more

When I started my membership with L.A. Fitness, I was looking forward to a great experience; unfortunately, several months later I was relocating and wanted to cancel my membership. My gym membership with the help of Shaun S. was extremely easy to cancel; his patience, attention to detail, and professionalism was much appreciated. However, when it came to my personal trainer membership, it has been a nightmare. Leadership does not make time to respond to their customers and they continue to charge you for services you are no longer using. Fortunately, Sydney C. understood my frustration and was able to help me with that situation, I appreciate his patience, empathy, and professionalism. For this, these employees get five stars. It's unfortunate that the employees are more concerned with the members than that of their supervisors. Additionally, the gym could use a dependable cleaning staff and professional development for the leadership team. read more

This is honestly one of the worst LA fitness gyms I've been to. I've never had any particularly bad experiences but I will explain my frustrations with this gym. For one, the free weights are NEVER reracked properly, as in there may be a 100 lb dumbbell in the 5 lb slot and vice versa. For two, the weights aren't even reracked sometimes and are left sitting all over the place or still on machines. You're then left to play eye spy for the equipment you need to work out, you're then left to play hop scotch over the weights sprawled out on the floor, and you're also left to guess whether a person is still on a machine or not (because the weights are still on it). As a former personal trainer and person that has worked in a gym and a guest of many, this is poor etiquette and I believe that employees should be reracking weights in between training appointments, etc. for their guests. Aside from the sloppy look of this gym, it's rundown, doesn't look clean, and many times you are left waiting and wondering around looking for equipment. The only reason I give this particular LA Fitness two stars is because it's near where I live and because it does have the equipment I need, I just have to search for it or weight most days. Otherwise it would get one star. Perhaps I'll try the LA Fitness that is near my job, as that one has better ratings. I suggest management take pride in their gym and ensure weights are reracked, their gym stay clean, and they spend more time on the floor seeing how they can better the LA Fitness McDonough brand. 10/24/2017: to update on this garbage la fitness, you would think they would send an email blast or post some kind of sign before they closed off the ENTIRE free weight section. But nope, they did not. Thanks for the heads up la Fitness McDonough read more
