    I was worried about returning to the gym after lock down but my experience at the melrose Y eased my worry.

    LA Fitness gym in Stoneham is a pretty decent gym with Pros and Cons…read more I recommend LA Fitness gym for the facility. For the benefits... the gym is big and spacious, has nice amenities (sauna, pool, and hot tub), and recently got a big remodeling makeover. The facility looks much nicer. For the downsides... the gym is not a very friendly and sociable place; and not a place to make new friends. And the staff at the gym is usually friendly when you're signing up but after you're a member they ignore you. Stoneham might be a geographical location of unfriendly people. Before I joined LA Fitness gym, I went to BSC gym in Woburn for a good 7 years before the location closed down shortly after the pandemic. Boston Sports Club gym was awesome! A staff member would always say Hello when you walk in the gym when you scan your card. I used to say hi to dozens of people at the gym and chat briefly occasionally. Lots of staff, trainers, members and me were connected on social media Instagram and would view and click like each other's posts and stories. BSC gym was the best gym I've been to! LA Fitness gym has a very different atmosphere of people. Normally when you walk in during the evening hours after 6pm to scan your card, they ignore you. One staff member walks to the other side of the desk and turns around so he won't see you, another staff member usually walks over to the customer service area when people walk in, and another staff member sits at the computer occupied on his cell phone. The only person that says hello to members that walk in is the Operations Manager Nicolas if he's not overly busy, is the only friendly person there, and leaves at 6pm. When I used to go in after 6pm, I didn't get a hello for at least 3-4 or 6 months and ignored daily by the front desk staff. Nowadays, I basically try to get in before 6pm while Nicolas is still there and it's a pleasant atmosphere; and before the antisocial staff comes in to cover the check-in area for the night. Also, one day on the gym floor last year I said Hi to a staff member (Asst GM) and he walked right passed me and just ignored me. Maybe he was having a bad day, I'm not sure. Also, a lot of LA Fitness staff are afraid to be connected to one another on social media Instagram. Most of them have 1,000+ Instagram followers, probably 100's of people they don't even know. But when a member sends a friend request to be connected and get to know one another, they get nervous with adding you. It's also not a friendly place with members. There are only a few people I say hi and chat briefly with and a majority of them are former BSC members that started going here too. Most members try not to make eye contact when you walk by them and some are occupied on their cell phones. One day when I was working on chest workout for the day, the first machine I always use is the incline bench press machine and there's only 2 of them. Both of them were occupied by members and both of them were using their cell phones while I was waiting behind them. I looked up at the clock and they were using their phone for a whole 5 minutes then finished their last set and left. I leave my cell phone in the locker when I workout so I'm not distracted and not delaying other member's workouts. Also, when another member left the bench press machine, he left his cell phone there. I used the bench press after him and thought he might come back to grab his phone but he didn't. I brought it over to him when I finished working out and asked if it was his. He grabbed the phone and threw it in his bag and said it was his. Very rude and not even a thank you. I should have just left his phone on the floor and he could pick it up from lost and found if someone turns it in. I've been trying to ask around people I know to join the gym as referrals so I have more familiar people there to say hi to. Unfortunately, most people are happy with their own gyms or it's too far for them. Aside from being a very unfriendly location, it's a very nice facility. I recommend LA Fitness gym for the facility.

    -1 LA Fitness Stoneham underwent a remodel. They removed…read moreequipment that was well-liked and restricted a significant portion of the space and equipment from use, effectively eliminating it unless you opt for personal training sessions, as this area is exclusively for them! The spa remains out of service since they reopened after a two-week shutdown for the "remodel." Consequently, from September until now, we've been unable to use the hot tub during one of the coldest starts to New England's long winters! When I inquired about updates from any of the managers, including the Operational Manager, I received a response of "No Update" and a dismissive attitude, as if I didn't care at all!
