I really enjoy going to the LA Fitness on Silver Lake Road. The manager, Nate, clearly makes an effort to hire front desk staff that are welcoming and enjoy helping. It adds a lot to the experience to be sincerely welcomed every time I go. I swim regularly and have always been satisfied with the pool cleanliness. Swimmers split lanes, so each person gets their own side of a lane - no waiting for slower swimmers or feeling rushed by faster swimmers in your lane. I've never had a problem getting one side of a lane. It's very nice to have a hot tub and sauna, as well. My personal trainer, Jeff, is patient, works on form with me so I don't get injured, and knows just how far to push me. 2-4pm is notably less busy. read more

Great gym, highly recommend. Always clean. Friendly staff. Good place to get a workout in.

As far as LA Fitness goes, this is a good location. Everything is pretty clean and organized. Also, there are a lot of dumbbells which is super nice when it gets really crowded. They also have 2 extra moveable benches for over by the dumbbells which is also nice and easy to maneuver around. The cardio is upstairs which i also like because that gives some nice separation. The locker rooms are also usually pretty clean. Staff here is friendly and outgoing. Definitely one of the better kept LA Fitnesses. read more

This is as nice of a LA club that I've seen, with all the amenities, including courts, pool, spa, and mini turf field. I'm happy to call this my home gym, it's cleaner than most LA clubs and there's no parking garage, easy access from the freeway read more

Absolutely love the gym and staff, but since they closed the Northtown and Roseville locations it has become insanely overcrowded at times. It won't stop me from going, but really is discouraging knowing I may not get the pump I want to because there are no machines open. read more

LA Fitness - Gym, LA Fitness - Trainers Near Me - New Brighton, Minnesota

Club has no hot water they have no towels for you to use to clean off the machines and the sauna is closed no reason to go here. This club does not meet any kind of basic club amenities read more

I'd give them a zero if I could. My step son came for a look through and they would not let him look...way to lose members LA Fitness. Way to discourage young people from training. Your staff need a retrain on customer service. Terrible customer service. read more

Great gym to work out has a dope basket ball court , a sauna , and plenty of machines

Can't believe COVID hours are still in effect. A rep told me they aren't changing either. Closing at 8pm on Friday makes no sense and opening at 8 on Saturday is ridiculous. I may have to cancel my membership because my work schedule makes it hard to make it to the gym. Please stay open until 10pm on Fridays and open at 6 or 7am on Saturday. read more

I love this gym wish there was more time in the day the workers are great and bery helpful especially Cece. #Gains

I guess there's no zero star. I got a 14 days free trial past from my friend, who is a member, I went to use it and some guy tried to sell me a plan after declining, he told me he don't trust my past, I was forced to leave after spending 30 with him . read more

First time visiting location since the Roseville, MN location had their pool closed tonight -- I'm there barely 30 minutes and my car window is smashed in and someone has stolen a bag with nothing in it other than some papers and an old radio. Talked to the cop who showed up for the report and he lamented that there are no cameras on the club. Never returning to this location ever again. read more

Wish it was easier to cancel a membership. I don't live around a club and don't have a printer. Went to a club to try and cancel but they don't have paperwork or the person who can cancel memberships staffed during the weekend. ugh, been paying on this for too long. Tried emailing, walking into the club, tried calling, and nope. So dumb. read more

If I could give them zero for overall I would. OMG the front desk lady doesn't know shit and yet she repeats the same shit. I started a membership and decided I want to actually do lifetime so I wanted to cancel my la fitness membership. On the agreement or the contract it says "if you don't want to be bound by the contract, write a letter saying you want to cancel it and either fax, mail or drop the letter at the club you signed up for." Well when I went to drop off the letter they keep telling me the only way for me to cancel membership is to talk with this one guy face to face, which is 100% false. Its so weird how easy it is to start a membership but the way they make it so hard to cancel membership is unbelievable. When I explain my situation to the front desk lady it's like she doesn't listen and is super rude. This was enough for me to know to never ever sign up for LA fitness ever again! read more

The fitness options here are great for such a small facility! I tried out a few areas before taking their Zumba and Yoga classes and they are were really fun! The part that makes this 5 stars is the people who are working here, though. This was my first time in an L. A. Fitness site and they all were so friendly and helped me know where everything was. I can't wait to go again with my bestie later! read more

I would just like to write an update after few months of usage at LA Fitness. I'm keeping my review at 4 stars however. I like that everytime I enter I'm greeted and same person says goodbye when I leave. When I first signed up, our membership came with one free training session, which of course is one free sales pitch while they mention what you do wrong. I didnt want this and was continually called about this, in their defense, I never answered the phone or told them I wasn't interested. I am noticing there are a lot of people there just to be "Seen". I've never seen so many people go from machine to machine and not work out. I find myself doing a lot of people watching....why is that guy working out in jeans? does that girl know there's a locker room, she doesnt need to change next to the treadmill....why are you wearing make up, it's saturday, 8am, and you're working out.....does grunting help you lift more....maybe a little less garlic and curry before you next workout.....you weigh 90lbs and are giving advice on how to build muscle? I'm sure this is common at most gyms, but the hilarity of it helps me when I tire of my music on my zune... read more

I've been a member of the New Brighton LA Fitness for close to 6 years. I love that this gym is clean, friendly and unpretentious. I really appreciate the atmosphere at the New Brighton LA Fitness - there's no judging... People actually work out here, get sweaty and do unflattering (but effective) exercises. It's not about being seen here... It's about working out and getting results. Not being someone who is self-motivated, I work out with trainers. I've had amazing trainers over the years and am really happy with my current trainer, John. He really listens to my goals, pushes me to do better than last session, understands the biomechanics of the human body and is willing to adjust if my aging body isn't' always in agreement with the chosen exercise. My husband worked out with Matt after a recent surgery and had great results regaining his flexibility and strength. Matt was a great support and was exactly what my husband needed. All in all, I highly recommend this gym! read more

I've been going to this gym regularly for over a year now. In contrast to other people's reviews, I see many regulars working out intelligently and respectfully every time I'm there. I tend to go in the mornings before work and there is sufficient access to machines and lap swimming at that time. The locker room is mostly clean and roomy, although some showers are much better than others in terms of water pressure (you learn which ones to head for) and things get a bit grimy on weekends. I've found the staff to be friendly enough overall. It's a great bargain: $30 a month minus the $20 my health insurance throws in. $10! Tough to beat that. Some things that drive me absolute crazy, however: 1. The barrage of crappy news & bad reality shows on the monitors in front of the treadmills. Ok, fine, I want to know what's going on in the world & woke up too early to read the paper, but the last thing I want to be forced to stare at while grumbling through my morning workout is sensationalist journalism and other peoples' dysfunctional relationships. At lest a few monitors are on ESPN. How about some adventure fitness programming??Visual scenes that inspire me to kick some ass! Like BASE jumping, mountain biking, surfing & that kind of stuff. Can't be too hard to find... every GoPro sales display is full of it. 2. Open hours cleaning. The gentleman who goes around cleaning among the machines does his job well & is a great guy, but I can't stand sucking vacuum exhaust while exercising. Irritates me lungs & such. I wish management would have the insight to plan certain cleaning tasks during non-peak hours. I can't imagine I'm the only one bothered by this. 3. Really wish they had a swimsuit spinner. I've spoken with management about these things and they cheerfully directed me to submit feedback via the website. I did so, clicked send, and off went my concerns into the ether, never to receive any sort of acknowledgement. read more

LA Fitness New Brighton is the worst gym you can sign up at. Ive been a member for 12 years and have trained throughout all the Twin Cities location and had good experiences except at this site. The manager Sekou Ptah has zero people skills, he's abrasive and unapproachable not to mention his unprofessional appearance. Ive had no issues with any clubs until going here. For example, Im a single parent of two so on occasion my youngest son would get dropped off at the gym after I finished working out. This one instance he was dropped off as I just finished but I had to still head to the locker room to get my stuff and he had to use the bathroom. So we started to walk to the lockeroom and Sekou yelled at me as he was speed walking telling me " i can't bring my son to the locker room" . I said the hell I cant!! Hes 10yo and im not leaving him in the front by himself. This was never an issue at any other clubs. Then another time I was working out on Leg day, he said i was grunting too "loud" . I said, what is this PLANET FITNESS, when you push yourself to the limit, its absolutely natural, it wasnt yelling or shouting it was a grunt on my last few reps. This guy just rubs me the wrong way and other members too. I filed a complaint with Corporate Lynda Swaboda lyndas@fitnessintl.com only to be left still frustrated as i expressed how upset i was with this manager. When i go to the gym, i dont want to feel like im harassed, i mind my own business abide by the rules then you have some new manager with a power trip harassing you ...not confronting other people who do the same thing either mind you. I canceled my membership and i would never suggest anyone sign up with LA Fitness especially when Corporate takes no care in customers concerns ! I signed up at Xperience for less per month for all the clubs plus it included guests and tanning! read more

Great club. My fiancé and I are "sweating for the wedding " but needed a bit of direction. We talked to Ryan, the PT manager. Great guy. We decided we did need some help. So Ryan introduced us to Matt. Or "Meathead Matt" once you see him. Beafcake of a guy. We thought we were in good enough shape to handle Matts work outs. Nope. So far from nope it's not on the spectrum. Matt is having us use muscles we didn't know we had. The other day my fiancé had to park in the handicap spot at work. Thanks to Matts lunge work out. After ever workout, We stop by and get more 'homework ' from Matt. We're really liking the knowledge and dedication Matt has and his dedication to us and our goals! read more

Good place to workout and play basketball. Some of the people are nice and competitive. They have all the machines and free weights that you need. On the down side, i couldnt find any equipment for power lifting or Olympic lifting. I was looking forward to doing some hang cleans and clean n jerk but couldn't. read more

LA Fitness is a good gym overall. Good price, decent hours, most - if not all - locations have a pool, sauna, whirlpool, racket courts, along with great fitness equipment. The reason I give it 1 star is because the staff at this location are discourteous and dishonest. When was initially investigating memberships, the general manager quoted me prices that were well beyond typical rates. I ultimately signed onto a membership through the Roseville location for $35/ mo and $25 initiation fee. The New Brighton sales staff tried to push me to put $150 down and pay $60/mo. Furthermore, the manager here would not honor a guest pass for my wife, which had been granted by the Roseville location. He went so far as to sharply request that my "wife to either sign up for a membership or leave." She left...and went to Roseville. I will continue my membership, but I plan to file a formal complaint with the regional manager regarding the poor treatment my wife and I received at this facility. My recommendation would be to consider other locations or other gyms in the area. read more

Is it possible to give ZERO stars? The manager Joe, is a dishonest person. He charged my card from my past membership there (which I had for 3 months) without my permission. He told me after I confronted him, that he would refund the transaction. 4 days later and no refund, I called the club. They always tell me "he will call you back". Well, this time I insisted there must be someone else to speak with. They said he was the ONLY person who can refund money. I asked for his boss, and they told me they could not give out that name (WTF??) but that Joe happened to be meeting with him at that moment. I asked to speak to "him" (whoever mysterious boss man was) and was denied. Again they said he could call me back and I insisted on holding. 20 -25 min later the same gal got back on the phone to say I might be holding for another 20minutes. I said "thats fine" with a smile. I also asked her if she wasn't also smelling something fishy...because I certainly was. I told her it didn't seem reasonable that a large corporation would keep the names of their bosses a secret? I was put on hold again. Ten minutes later I was told I would get an email confirmation for a refund. I received the email, and am waiting for the money to return. People. Dont go here. There is a Lifetime in Fridley where the people are real, and the gym is clean and WAY nicer. Its worth the money. BTW, when I did belong for those 3 months, the place was a shit hole. I complained once about the state of the locker room and they told me they had no cleaning staff on the weekends, ever. "We can't afford a weekend cleaning staff" is what I was told. oh barf. read more

I went in because I got a 7 day pass from a friend and totally got guilted into a membership. Which was partly my fault for accepting it, but I never originally wanted one. The machines, pool, treadmill, sauna are all great. But the Staff SUCKS, they are unenthusiastic, rude, and always look like they'd rather be at home. Most of the people who go there don't even work out, but hang out with people they know. I paid 29.99$/mo and right after I joined they had a special of 19.99$/mo being advertised. What the....? Don't even get a guest pass there because the managers will call and harass you every day to join. How annoying! P.S. The showers have so much water pressure it feels like my skin is being cleaned by needles. I had my membership for two months and couldn't much take anymore. The reason it doesn't get one star is the machines are pretty nice. read more

Option-wise it has basically everything you need. However, I had a couple customer service issues at this LA Fitness. I am an advanced swimmer and I like to time myself on laps. Their clock's battery ran out one day. I informed the blonde haired lady at the desk nicely when I left and she rolled her eyes at me. A couple days went by and I asked the same blonde haired girl at the desk if they planned on changing it. I explained to her why and she basically just blew me off. You can see the desk from the pool and she just went back to texting on her phone. The LA fitness in Roseville is better eve though it may at times be a little crowded. read more

I had very bad experience at this gym. My friend that has a membership at this gym took me with him thinking he had VIP pass on his account, which he was told he did at the time of enrollment but they decided to tell him he didn't When I went inside with him. However, They gave me a promotional offer off paying $29 enrollment fee, first and last month bill upfront. David the general manager promised me that I wouldn't get charged the annual fee of $35 as part of promotional offer. Since I could not get a week pass, I enrolled myself because it was very close to my house and my friend also goes there. About a month later, I received an email saying I will be charged the annual fee of $35 sometime in October. I reached out to a David that promised me I wouldn't get charged and his response was that and I quote, "Everyone pays annual fee". Promise was not kept and I was ripped off. I would not recommend signing up at this gym. Read all hidden charges before you sign a contract. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. read more

This is one of the best gyms I've been to. Very clean and the staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledge. The equipment is well maintained and I never have trouble finding the gear that I need for my workout. I've been working with a personal trainer, ,Matt, and have been very pleased with the outcomes so far. Matt is exactly what you want in a trainer - he listened to my fitness goals, he gives clear instruction, and he invests the time into teaching me about the physiology and mechanics of each exercise. I highly recommend this gym. Big thanks to Matt for helping me get the most out of my workout and my gym membership! read more

So my visit with a friend who is a member today to this specific location cause me to write this review. It is because it stepped on my values to what I considered unethical practice. This is just giving anyone a person's snap shot to take notice and buyer beware. The sale pitch of being a "good deal = cheap" compared to other clubs are full of interesting holes (you might think different to the upgrades and fees that seems to appear). Who would have thought that a person titled "general manage" was comfortable to what I felt was being manipulate and down right lying about another health clubs to what I know is not true and I called him on it but that did not phase him.. interesting. Also, that they were slamming another LA fitness club to pass blame to issues that arise is even worst because they are part of the same corporation. A quick call of to a family member and the sharing of the this current experience got a very upset family member retelling tales. The family member left because of treatment and experience of inconsistent quality and low customer focus to response of concerns. This experience that got the family member to leave because of a coupon to get a free pass for a week for a visiting friend and treatment of being interrogation and then denied that he/she can not use it and suggestion that he/she pay the fee (because he/she went with a friend or a family member) because he/she are not interested in joining seems like false advertising (by the way there was no fine print on this). In my experience, three point of reference (myself, my friend and my family member) gives a good indication to a trend. That felt very yucky and we vote by walking or talking. read more

This gym is way too packed- it's not a comfortable place to be at all. I'm currently a member, but I will not be renewing my membership. They've been illegally going on private property putting flyers on people's cars in my neighborhood to boost sales. Now my neighborhood is a total mess with their papers flying around in the wind. The last thing this location needs is more people packed into the gym trying to work out. Not happy with this company. read more

Personal Trainer Tyler S is really great to work with. He's always punctual and has a pleasant, upbeat demeanor. More importantly though, he is always 100% focused on me and my goals, while also being mindful about a shoulder injury of mine, both from the standpoint of strengthening it, and not putting too much stress on it, so as not to exacerbate the injury. It is actually getting better due to some specific exercises he showed me. I highly recommend him. read more

This is by far the best location in the metro area! Frankie and Ryan greeted me with expertise and charisma as soon as I walked in the door. They really care about my goals and helping me achieve them. The work outs are intense but worth it because they make sure you understand how to do things correctly and why it is important. I have gained a significant amount of knowledge in a short amount of time and it is very reassuring. My fitness journey has just begun and I am certain that my time spent at this location will help myself and plenty of other people reach their fitness goals! read more

I've been going to this gym for three years and within the past 4 months it has finally found its place. The current staff are committed to creating a great training atmosphere. There is an AMAZING new personal trainer who is an expert on fitness. If you are looking for someone to train you who has a ton of knowledge, Matt is the guy for the job. The personal training manager's goal for the club is to create a great place for fitness and you can see that happening with the new equipment and attitude of staff at the club. I've never been someone who goes to the gym consistently, but the recent transitions at this club have made going to the gym a regular part of my day. read more

This location straight up sucks. The new manager is RUDE. The women at the front desk are always really nice and sweet so kudos to them, but the men (and new manager) never say hi and are rude to their customers. This location is also DIRTY! I guess they don't have maintenance staff on Fridays (rumor has it) so Fridays and Saturdays this place is filthy and gross. I have two friends who have canceled memberships and were continually charged and never reimbursed the money they kept being charged (after being told that they would cancel it). Also, when my boyfriend joined again we kept asking to avoid an initiation fee and they said they couldn't avoid it. So, he joined on my family account to get a lower initiation fee, and then the NEXT DAY I went to another location where they had a sign that said $0 initiation when joining under a family plan. I tried to complain and never heard a response. I think LA Fitness in general is not very customer-service oriented and they are all sales driven. If you have the money, I would recommend another gym. But I guess you get what you pay for here since it's not very expensive. I say BOO to LA Fitness in general, but mostly BOO to the New Brighton Location! read more

Very sad that you get kicked off a machine in the personal trainer area at 830 pm and no one is using it. Time to find a new gym after many years. Very disappointing. read more

I wasn't looking for another reason to never go back to that gym, but this morning I got one. My past experience at this gym has been disappointing (dirty mats, lack of cleaning supplies for equipment, and disorganized equipment). But I can get over those details during my 45 min workout. What has me headed to the Northtown branch is their oblivious nature to serving their customers. I had requested channels to be changed on the two TVs I was running in front of because of the racist and offensive nature of the programming (Fox News was one of the channels). Is there not anything else you can play on a Sunday morning? Cartoons? Cooking show? I respect others social and political opinions but I don't need to feel like I'm being tortured on my treadmill by having to view hateful and aggressive television shows. For the sake of others going to your gym, please choose other channels to play and train your staff as to how to change them when a request is made. Goodbye to your stinky offensive dump! read more

This gym has everything your looking for... Cardio, free weights, racquetball, a spin room, a basketball gym, a pool, free classes daily, a large locker room, and great showers.... But with that being said, with everything this gym offers, it will be your lucky day if you can use any of it. This gym is packed! With a sign stating that "if there's a line your limited to 20 minutes on the equipment" A LINE? Seriously. I'll say one thing and if I'm waiting in line for anything, it won't be the treadmill! Most everyone is pretty good about wiping down the equipment after using it, but more often do I spot someone walking away and leaving their sweat puddles behind. A mat for stretching or any body exercise just isn't going to happen! Unless you want to stand around and have 30 people staring at you wondering what the fuck your doing, just pass. I found a spot in the back left of the gym by the juicing bar. I'm sure my leg lifts weren't bothering anyone ordering juice HA! The staff is always walking around, I feel like there's 100 of them, holding clip boards waiting for the chance for you to use your free pass for a friend to try to get them to sign up by harassing you and "giving you workout advise", I'm sorry 300lb salesman........ Your not gonna teach me shit about how to exercise for results! My advise is...... Go there and know exactly what your doing. Have a plan, get in and out. You won't want to spend more than an hour in there! Trust me. read more

I came in as a buddies guest about 4 months ago. Today a different friend wanted me to fill in as his workout partner. I drove here from the University and walked in only to be denied access as a guest. They only allow you to be a guest once every six months. Even if you have a new pass from a different friend. Long story short, the manager was extremely rude and inconsiderate. If you want me to join your "club" I would definitely expect you to let me try out your gym more than once. Nobody in their right mind would pay 15 dollars for a one day pass. I would rather flush my money down the drain then let the manager have that satisfaction. I am not impressed by any part of this business or the people they chose to represent them in this location. So here's my one star, if I could give them less I would, because Fuck that place and the douche in charge. read more

I had my phone and cologne stolen at this Club last Saturday 04/01/17. What shocked me was the response that I got from the Gym staff regarding the theft. "You and your property are on your own if something happens to you at the gym" that is the lesson I got from this. read more

I have been working out with personal trainer Tyler S for several months and couldn't be more pleased with his approach. He understood my goals from the very first session and has always kept them in mind as he develops each work-out. Plus he's just a nice guy to train with. I always look forward to my next training session. read more

I joined LA Fitness when it first opened in the Twin Cities. There are several locations around the Twin Cities, and it has swimming along with the standard gym equipment. I liked it initially. I have found that as time has gone by, the equipment and the facilities don't seem to be kept as clean as I would like. There is a limit on how long you could use the treadmills. It closes early on Saturday and Sunday (8pm). I decided to cancel my membership. Apparently only one person can process a membership cancellation onsite, and that person is only there on weekdays before 6pm; otherwise you need to mail the cancellation in to California. Meh. read more
