If you went to this gym when it was urban active and liked it well you should definitely join because it is exactly the same. The same machines, the same amenities, nothing has been updated at all. Half of the machines are broken. The ones that work are so worn down they're barely usable. There's only one wipe station in the entire place and honestly no one uses it. This gym used to be the sh*t but now it just smells and looks like it. Don't waste your money. read more

The ellipticals have now had those same issues for almost a year and a half. The chest press upstairs has had a broken seat for over 2 weeks. Cleanliness is still, um, lacking. You can look around any machine and see the grossest bits of ...stuff? And dirt and dust. I dont remember the last time a movie played that didnt skip or freeze, and I dont remember the last time captions worked consistently. I've also now had a day where I did an entire 60 minutes of cardio while watching the dvd's menu screen loop. I only stay because there isnt another gym around here that is any better, it seems. You trade cleanliness for options and features, I guess. Eta: oh, they did replace the carpet in the womens locker room, and now the horrendous BO smell is gone. read more

LA Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

This is one of the nicest LA Fitness gyms I have been to. Location: easy to get to, about a half a mile off of 475. Big private parking lot. Gym: bright and open, good temperature. Very easy to navigate layout. Equipment is spread out and there is room too move around and navigate other people. Everything was clean and smelled that way. Staff: very friendly. One of the employees was off and during her workout was putting up weights people left around in between her exercises!! There was one guy that was just walking around making sure everything was picked up and clean. Cardio: all the cardio equipment was upstairs, nice layout with lots to choose from. Didn't see any broken gear. Some could have used a little more cleaning. There is also a women's weights area up there as well. Weights: lots to choose from. 4 flat benches, 2 smith machines, 1 squat rack and 1 squat cage. Dumbbells to 125, at least 8 benches for the dumbbell area. Like I said lots of room. Lockers: cleanest I have ever seen at a LA Fitness. Very nice!! Not used but notated: swimming pool, aerobic studio (was a yoga class when I was there), basketball court, upstairs also had a plyometrics area and a full track around the building. Will definitely be back here when I'm in town!! read more

LA Fitness - Free weight area - Gyms Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

I had a one week pass but could only stand one visit. The manager was rude. The lockers were falling apart. The gym was filthy. Worst of all, the steam room was full of mold smell. That is when I reported them to the Lucas county health department. read more

I have been a member here for approx. 4 years. This gym provides all the necessary equipment for a complete workout including a running track and lap pool. For the most part all equipment is functional but there are pieces that need fixed regularly. The staff are very nice (except one) and always willing to help when needed. They are also open very early to 11 at night though the week to accommodate everyone's work schedules. Wendy read more

Staff is rude. The people that go to the gym are very judgmental. When I transferred gyms and cancelled my membership at this one, the guy didn't even take the form I had to resign from the gym. I called back the next day to find out he still hadn't cancelled my membership. They don't care about the people, it's all about the money. Machines are okay, but not great for the price. It's always crowded. My fiancé ran into the same probably. He thought he cancelled with them after they said they did and then he finds out they have been charging him for months. Be careful. read more

I really like this gym. It's not overly glamorous but it's spacious and gets the job done. Plenty of weight training machines (lot's of interesting ones that I've never seen before and I've been an avid gym goer for YEARAS), plenty of free weights, TONS of cardio machine options, a track, pool, bball court, personal training space, classrooms, etc. They also have a ladies only room for any women that prefer a more private workout (I'm not so sure what that's about, butttt yea, it's there). Everything is always clean (not sure about the locker rooms - I've never stepped foot in there) and it's never crowded. People that I've seen there have been pretty quiet, keep to themselves, and range in various ages and fitness levels. read more

I have quite a bit to say about LA Fitness, so my thoughts might not come in any particular order... UPDATE 6/21/2013... The building's exterior is finally rebranded. The only interior change, is that cleanliness is now on the back burner. They removed cleaning stations all across the gym. You've really gotta walk to find one to clean up after yourself. So as it goes, most people don't. Gross. Now, automatic paper towel dispensers have been replaced by manual ones. Sanitizing spray bottles have been replaced by bathroom-style soap dispensers, and open trash cans have been replaced by push flap ones. Instead of touching only the spray bottle in the process of cleaning up after myself, I now have to touch two more dirty things - the paper towel crank and garbage can lid - if I want to be a good gym patron and "sanitize" machines I just left sweat on. ORIGINAL 4/14/2013... All in all, I would say this is a pretty terrible gym in my experiences. It started off branded as an Urban Active Fitness in 2007 and not much has been done to it since, even with LA Fitness corporate buyout. The upkeep of the gym is nonexistent, despite the maintenance fees they charge. Most elliptical and treadmills have something wrong with them, be it the attached televisions, the stride length meters, the timers, the resistance, the headphone jacks, and/or the range of motion of the pedals. (Some of the pedals seem to extend too low, which can lead to potential injury.) So pretty much everything you would want out of one of those cardio machines is dysfunctional in at least one of those ways I mentioned. I have even left messages in the comment box, but nothing has ever changed or been fixed. Some of those machines are beyond repair and need to just be replaced with new ones altogether. The cleaning staff does a really good job keeping floors spotless. Sometimes they start cleaning a little prematurely before the closing hour, which can be annoying, but the place at least appears clean. I wish they wouldn't mop the staircases or use some of the smelly cleaning chemicals they use until after close. When I am giving it my all on a treadmill, clean, non-ammonia filled air is preferred. I do wish a few fresh coats of paint were applied here and there, as well as fresh carpet in high traffic areas. I feel like that's not unreasonable to ask for as a paying member for a place that sells itself as being an upscale gym. Be wary of their heavily advertised "month to month" plan, because it is a contract in disguise. My friend went to cancel his month to month services and they charged him an exorbitant fee for canceling, even though the name and concept would imply it is not a contract. In fact, a couple years ago, Urban Active was sued for extending member contracts without permission, making it difficult to leave. Look it up. Apparently they didn't understand though. If you've been a member from Urban Active's opening, like I have, you probably don't care about some of that stuff if you haven't experienced it or don't use that equipment. The lack of upkeep of the equipment is pretty bad though, considering the money they have to make, hand over fist from training packages. If a machine goes down, it seems to take about a month for it to be operational again. I'm not sure if parts have to be special ordered, or what. Speaking of training packages, those are also a joke. (Teach yourself even some basics about fitness and you'll see most of their training plans are designed to minimally work you out, with the intent of getting you to sign up for more expensive training regimens.) I took advantage of a free training session and the workouts were largely a joke. The couple of members of the training staff I have encountered are incredibly nice, but if you're new and signing up for services, keep in mind they are salesmen trying to keep you on board for continued training services. Their number one goal is not your fitness, it's their pocketbooks. That is clearly evident when they sit you down and first offer you an $1800/month package, which is in addition to membership costs. I've had this happen twice, so it's not a coincidence, but rather how they conduct business. It's also incredibly annoying when trainers take up 10+ free weights and a large amount of space for one of their sessions. Just because I am smart enough to not pay for that doesn't mean I should be punished by not being able to use equipment or space at the gym. It's impossible for one person to hold that many weights at the same time anyways. Get over yourselves. My advice would be not to waste your money here, although your options for gyms in the area that aren't built into strip malls, or old Food Town locations with foggy windows, is very slim. The only reason I haven't left is because of the super convenient location between home and work. Not to mention, I don't want to pay any stupid contract cancellation fees until I move out of town. read more

Since LA fitness has taken over the cleaning has almost been non-existent. On 1/4 I was there when the club opened. Floors were salt and mud covered - no cleaning in the last 12 hours to be sure. The sauna in the men's locker room has been broken for 3 weeks - Apparently not a priority to repair. No suprise, members have signed contracts and sales staff avoids the locker room because it is filthy. Spinning studio has sweat stains since they repainted the floor - sort of. Only 1 scale in the whole club - and it isn't working correctly and will read 3 different weights if you stand there and get on the scale repeatedly. Reported to managers but they don't want to lose bonuses to fix the scales. My suggestion - go to a competitor. (too bad I paid for a year up front!) read more

This gym is unethical and the staff and management are very unresponsive to customer complaints. I joined over 2 years ago and based on my tour and what equipment I would have access to I decided to join. It was a great place to work out in the beginning. About a year ago they did a remodel and created a new workout area to give people more space. These improvements were even promised to members when the remodel was announced. They moved some equipment that was on the main floor up to this area after the remodel, but overall it was a nice improvement. So far so good. Fast forward 1 year. I walk into the gym to do my workout and find this new area blocked off and inaccessible to PAYING members unless you sign up for personal training services and pay an extra fee! So an area that members were promised and had access to was suddenly taken away with no notice. The equipment that is in this area WAS available to members and advertised as such when they joined and TAKEN away from us AFTER we joined and signed a contract. That is bait and switch where I come from and probably fraudulent according to my attorney. This equipment is NOT available anywhere else in the gym and is unique to this area and again, I emphasize, it WAS available to us before and taken away after the fact with nothing to replace it! This is an extremely poor business decision. You simply don't do that kind of thing to your customers. To make matters worse the staff is claiming there are no managers on site so there is nobody to talk to about this. The district VP, Daniel Woods is hiding and won't give out her number or email so members can talk to her directly. Instead, the staff told me and several other members that this was a "corporate" decision and that we should call the corporate office. I did and their customer service person basically said tough luck this is the new policy. They have ignored all of my emails and won't even respond. So not only do they take equipment away from members and block off areas they used to have access to but then they provide really poor customer service and hide behind the "it was a corporate" decision so nobody but this strange "corporate" guy is responsible. You have nowhere to turn and nobody to help you solve the problem. Honestly, this is one of the worst experiences I have ever had with a fitness club. Before you consider joining I would think long and hard if you want do enter into a contract where they can just change what you get after you join with no notice. Plus provide such crappy customer service. As soon as I can find a new location I am terminating my membership. read more

Always nice to have a place to work out. Even though there were broken machines, there was more than enough to go around. I like the pool, the indoor track (nice for the winter), lots of equipment. Yes, it's not the nicest place, but definitely functional and a great place to work out. read more

It's great seeing some fresh faces across all the department's here! The new janitorial team genuinely cares and has been doing a great job at keeping the gym clean for members! Its also easier than ever to handle issues thanks to the fantastic new operations manager they have! The sales staff is always polite and the personal trainers offer help and free training sessions to all the members! read more

The Maumee. Oh facilities are a serious concern to members for they have not been cleaned or sanitized in weeks and it has been an on going issue just to get soap and paper towels. We have been monitoring the women bathroom to where there has been feces on a toilet for over 10 days now and we watched all another stalls and they have not been cleared or bleached or sanitized in any way. ( I will take a pic tom if its not finally cleaned)There has not been soap in two of the three dispensers in 8 days and we watched and vacuuming has not happened as well in 8 days. Frankly its a very dirty locker room and you should be embarrassed and ashamed to charge us anything to be members of this filthy establishment. I finished my workout and could not find a paper towel anywhere to wash off the equipment. We are all appalled and talking about at just how bad this facility is becoming on lack of cleanliness. Last week members were all joking because we watched a vacuum cleaner with it extension cord all thru an exercise area on second floor lay there on the floor for four days ( we all made a point of counting) ( and I brought to front desk attention due to danger) in the exact spot and NO ONE noticed and moved. Literally no one even goes upstairs. You facility is not following any health guidelines; we have no soap or paper towels upstairs and the women's room is never cleaned it just now disgusting. If anyone can help it would be appreciated or I would like to talk about reimbursement as would many others. read more

Great location and friendly staff. Group work-out instructors are great. I've only been a member a few months, but just found out they have a $49 annual fee that nobody ever told me about when I joined, which I found out is charged 2 months after you join and that same time every year after that. When I called about the odd charge, only then was I told about it. Apparently it's for cleaning and equipment maintenance. Funny, I thought that is what the monthly membership fee is for. I think they need to retrain their sales people. My other complaint is cleanliness. The men's locker room shouldn't reek of BO and the showers shouldn't smell like urine. It never smells freshly cleaned. There are hairballs swirling around the group exercise room that everyone tries to shove away but they keep swirling right back. Gross. read more

I was given a free 30 day guest pass that my sister won as being a member there. After 15 days it expired. They told me I could not renew it and get the second half of my pass. I kept telling them a membership is not in my budget since I'll be moving to Cleveland in a month. They basically refused to give me my guest pass and harassed me until I pulled out my wallet which is honestly all they seem to care about is your money. I am a member but I like the maumee location better. Sylvania location is honestly filthy. I went to clean the equipment after I used it and there was no paper towels, trashes are always over flowing. I went to go wash my hands and in alllll the sinks there was no soap. I told front service they didn't even have hand sanitizer. That's down right disgusting. I don't pay this much for a membership for dirty equipment and an unclean facility. It's so dude over run that I'm constantly stared at and I'm honestly only comfortable upstairs or in the women's only section. read more

This gym is (quite literally) a CESS POOL. I found the entire facility suspect when I noticed zero members working out with a towel and very scarce sanitation stations or gym wipes. This is not only FOUL but dangerous. I was shocked to see a huge theatrical viewing room full of cardio equipment in this dirty, dingy facility with equipment that was ill-maintained, poorly arranged, and falling apart. Where are the priorities here?!?! I am a swimmer, and I was disappointed immediately by the water quality and temperature of the small pool. I have swam in many, many pools all over the world-public, private, hotel, gym, and otherwise-and I even frequented an LA Fitness pool in Portland, OR nearly daily for two years. After one twenty-minute session in this pool on my very first visit on 12/22/19, I was VIOLENTLY ill. Started with sneezing and a runny nose (typical if water gets in my sinuses), then turned into an all-night affair of violent diarrhea and vomiting (food was decidedly NOT the cause). 24 hours later I am still sick, dehydrated, and in pain. This is without exaggeration the most ill I remember being in my life. I thought for a few hours that I'd end up in the emergency room with a septic infection or some horrible confluence of multiple viruses. I only hope I can fly home in a couple days feeling healthy again. This was the single most awful fitness experience of my life, and I will NEVER patronize this club again when I visit my family. This cess pool of a gym ruined Christmas. DO BETTER, LA FITNESS. read more

Toledo, when are you going to learn that a treadmill and a smith machine are not going to make you look like you belong on the cover of a fitness magazine?? I love all the, lets just call them "non-members" playing basketball and creeping around the gym like it's a prison yard, causing me to check over my shoulder while doing my workout. Also packed full of Ed Hardy and Affliction wearing wannabe UFC champs, wearing Axe Body spray, and smelling of curry and freshly applied tanning lotion. However, the staff is pretty chill, and are always willing to help when you need it, don't go here between 4:30-7:30 pm, you will get nothing done and be pissed off at the complete lack of gym etiquette. read more

I became a member of this gym way back when it was still Urban Active (in the summer of 2011). Things have gone downhill very suddenly since the change. It is nowhere NEAR as clean as it used to be, which is very sad considering UA Toledo had a reputation for cleanliness. They have removed the spray bottles and replaced them with foam pumps attached to the wall, severely reduced the number of paper towel dispensers (walk all over the gym to find some), and those are quite often empty! The trash cans are tiny and lidded now and often stuffed to the brim. The staff obviously does not keep up with maintaining these vital areas anymore. In addition, I found like the other reviewer mentioned that most days, you will be lucky to find equipment at full functionality. The only cardio machines I ever use are the treadmills, but most of them have a broken screen (so you can't select your speed/time/etc.), or a non-functioning incline (which I ALWAYS use at least 1.0%, so that is a deal breaker.) I don't care about the TVs, but I notice most of them don't work, either. There will not be signs indicating that these machines have problems. They will mark one bad treadmill out of the 10 that aren't working. The others you just have to get on and find out. It is incredibly frustrating. Reporting problems is met with a blase "ok, fine" attitude and bored/irritated look by the seemingly college-age staff. I don't know who is in charge here, but they are definitely not making sure these issues are getting dealt with. I was very happy when this gym was Urban Active. I desperately want to find some other, better gym to call home now. read more

all i can say is way to go lafitness for buying out this chain of gym/spa/workout facilities. they are super with a cool vibe. i only used what i used but it was big and open and clean. right on! read more

I have been working out at this location for a little over a month now. I enjoy the layout and have been happy with this gym so far. As far as gyms go this place is clean, has a large assortment of equipment, and great personal trainers. However, in order to get that 5 star rating I think that complimentary towel service and nicer locker rooms would take them to the next level. read more

I love the Zumba class. The woman locker get dirty sometime. Its expensive compare to other fitness around here.

The gym isn't very clean and they have issues with enough equipment. But the WORST part is when you want to cancel your membership. Good luck! It took me 3 trips to track down a manager in order to cancel. (They insist on you being there in person.) Apparently the people that work the desk can sign you up to join but can't cancel your account. Too bad, because I was only going to take a hiatus until late fall but I'm not going back after that difficulty! read more

Great gym that offers a lot for the small amount of money. Besides the weights and exercise machines they have basketball, racketball, pool, steam room, dry sauna. Many of the other local gyms charge the same or more and they don't even compare! My only problem with LA Fitness is there's not more of them! read more

They have all the stuff that I need, but not really a good place to workout because there's too many dirty equipments, but overall, it's not a bad gym read more

Compared to the LA fitness in maumee this gym is a dump. Due to the amount of dust on the floor , broken equipment/ lack of basic attention and the sludge in the shower drain , its clear either the management has low expectations of its staff or just doesn't care... read more

I've been to several LA fitness' in Ohio and Michigan and even though the Sylvania location serves its purpose of allowing me to get my work out in it always seems more run down and not as clean as other locations I've been too read more

This LA location use to great but then they messed up. They blocked off a large area with two cables and kettle bells and the ropes for "personal training" only. The area contains the only adjustable fly machine and the only working scale and it's never being used yet we can't use it. Your membership dues pay for equipment that's off limits. Terrible idea to cut the members off from this highly popular area read more

The staff are VERY shady. Had almost total staff turnover during the nine months I was a member. They lied when I joined and told me they were in the process of wiring the Wifi. 6 months later they finally get WIFI after giving me 3 different excuses. Then when I tried to cancel my membership they made it as difficult as possible. The manager, Zander, was extremely rude to me and laughed when I told him I was going to give them a negative review on yelp. I called the corporate office to complain and even their customer service reps are ridiculously rude an incompetent. I would NEVER consider going to this gym again. read more

Been a member for over 2 1/2 years now and have watched a steady decline of this gym. Let me say I would hope that they take this review as a wake up call and reintroduce themselves to basic customer service. Walking in on another Sunday morning I spent 10 minutes putting weights away around the equipment I intended to use, the towel machine for cleaning up was empty again, needs to shut down and clean this place up. Nicely planned out facility with a pool, track, sauna, steam room and a great location but please provide the paying customer an organized, clean place to go and then we will refer friends and family to join. You have my money already as I paid up front for a 3 year membership and would like to stay but it's not good when customers have to ask you to do your job. Hire a manager and develop a culture around customer service. I welcome someone from your company to contact me regarding my issues and not answer with a reply of sorry for the bad experience we take complaints seriously. read more
