Another woman placed her belongings down next to a machine to reserve it for herself for AFTER she was finished with the machine she was working on. I contacted the corporation via email and they said they would put signs up to stop people from reserving equipment but there were never signs put up. I joined this club and paid the extra $30 compared to another club that charges only $10 a month so that I could go in the pool and the Jacuzzi as it helps my pain. The last time I went to the Jacuzzi there were five or six old men sitting in the tub and one of the men was very threatening telling me that everyone took their shoes off before going into the Jacuzzi and I did not (I had flip flops). I wondered, were these losers kicked out of their senior communities? Why were all of these men there at the same time? When I started at the club there was a younger crowd and I liked the fact that I wouldn't have to use my parent's senior community jacuzzi and be hassled by mean old people there. This corporation is doing nothing to improve the club. It's going downhill. It makes me wonder if they're trying to make members want to leave so that they can bring new members in and charge higher fees.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!! THIS IS A RIPOFF SCAM UNSCRUPUOUS FITNESS CLUB operated by the…read moremanager, John B., who is an abject failure as a human being. This LA Fitness branch defrauds elderly clients without compunction. Quick summary: My 80-year-old mother canceled her membership in person in October 2025, and she has not been back since. This can be confirmed. However, LA Fitness continued to bill my mother through July 2026, until I noticed the monthly charges were ongoing. (Moreover, their monthly charge actually went up!) When I asked my mother about it, she told me she had already canceled her membership almost a year ago. She spoke with Cody, to whom she would bring coffee wherever she went to work out, and he took care of it - canceling her membership. My mother, therefore, had no idea why she was still being charged when I confirmed that LA FITNESS was still charging her. We live in different states, so I told her she had to go back to LA Fitness, cancel in person, and get a refund. Simple, right? My mother had to go there twice, and once with an elder advocate to make sure they finally canceled her membership and to get her refund. Smooth sailing, right? Nope. It was to no avail. This POS, John B., refused to reimburse my 80-year-old mother for 10 months of fraudulent charges (that were inexplicably increasing!). The person who handled my mother's membership, Cody, should have canceled it at her request in October, but he no longer works there. If John B. were a normal manager or even a merely functioning human being, he would correctly assume it was Cody's error, and LA Fitness would issue her a prompt refund. Manager John B knows by glancing at his computer that my elderly mother has not been back to LA Fitness since October, confirming her account that she told Cody to cancel her membership. A normal person, let alone a manager at LA Fitness, would apologize for the gratuitous charges and inconvenience to my mother and politely refund the charges for 8 months. Not you, John B. No Refund. No apology. No explanation. You make your own parents and family proud, my man. Please, snicker in disgust when you see Johnny Boy.

I've been coming to this gym for about 6 months and it's been great! I really like the tailored,…read moresmall group personal training classes because they are challenging and generate real results. Even though I like working out, when I do it alone I'm at risk of becoming a lazy gym robot who just repeats the exercises I like at a comfortable weight without really pushing myself. This, unfortunately, leads to diminishing returns over time. What I like about FitMethod 413 is that you can never become a lazy gym robot because the workouts change every day. You don't just get to pick the easy exercises you like, and the trainers encourage you to lift heavier weights (within reason). That is why I think it's worth it to pay for a membership to this gym, rather than just coasting by at some other gym, or going to a group fitness class that's so crowded you can cut corners because the trainer won't notice. Another thing I like about this gym is that a lot of the exercises are compound moves, so (for example) instead of just doing a squat or a bicep curl, you will do a squat with a bicep curl. You can feel that these are better exercises that give you more results for your time in the gym. And it's helpful to have a trainer on hand to assist with form. For someone that's trying to lose weight or new to working out, I think this would be a good gym because there is nutritional coaching in the unlimited membership, and that accountability of balancing your workout and your food intake is helpful. Also, everyone here is super approachable, knowledgeable, and encouraging.

In order to get the "full body" experience, FIT 4:13's method targets and focuses on different parts of the body- ie: Wednesday is Leg Day. The facility is really nice, they make great use of a smaller space for classes of 8 or less. No gimmicks or tricks here. I enjoy coming in, love the people (both the coaches & fellow classmates), and the support for a healthy lifestyle is incredibly helpful. I'm super awkward and not very athletic. They are constantly directing me which I desperately need and ask for. I also really love that I can use the MindBody app and register for classes easily. This is the best thing I've found in a long time :)

Thavma easily beat my expectations. The studio (Sarasota) was beautiful and zen. The teachers were great. The classes were challenging. I tried the two week trial and give myself a 90% chance of joining after I try out a little competition as I am new to the area. (Update: I joined and bought the 1-year all-you-can-sweat pass - love it) The best thing about the teachers was their attention to detail: they make sure to watch your alignment and constant remind us of the right adjustments to make the poses correctly and safe. But they were also friendly and fun and the classes had lots of people that had clearly been members for a while. Their 26+2 class is a slight variation of Bikram, so if you know that or Google it, you will know what to expect. I enjoyed those classes very much. Just know there are slight and intentional variations and you should follow them and not show how you can do the "real" poses. The Red Thavma is basically Yoga + Pilates + Abs + Sauna. This is a great way to tone up and burn calories if that is your thing. The Black Thavma is a harder version of Red, but I did not get a chance to try that. I highly recommend their $39 two week all-you-can-yoga pass. Try to commit to 6-8 classes as the first one will seem hot enough to make you give up, but you get use to it and learn to pace yourself. I think it is easy to get addicted, and I did love it. Hints: get well hydrated 3-4 hours before class, sip water in class, definitely take a sweat towel for your mat and keep an bring a sports drink or two for afterwards. Take a towel for your car seat too. They supply a strap and block and when I forgot my mat they lent me a free one -but they normally charge $2, They also have electrolyte packets to add to your water and they have cold water. They stopped renting towels during COVID and have decided not to restart that. Do it!

A true sanctuary exists to provide…read moreanimals with a safe, natural environment and does not use them as entertainment for paying visitors. Watching lions and other big cats perform in shows was upsetting. These are powerful wild animals, not domesticated pets. Big cats do not naturally follow commands or perform tricks for humans. To get them to behave this way, trainers typically rely on intensive conditioning, deprivation, fear, punishment, or other coercive methods. Even when facilities claim their training is "positive," the reality is that wild animals don't voluntarily choose to perform choreographed routines for crowds. Seeing animals that should be roaming, hunting, resting, and exhibiting natural behaviors instead being made to perform for applause felt wrong. The show may be entertaining to some visitors, but it comes at the expense of the animals' dignity and well-being. If you genuinely care about wildlife conservation and animal welfare, I would encourage you to support facilities that rescue animals without breeding, exploiting, or using them in performances. I left feeling disappointed and saddened by what I saw.

This gym set me up right from the start with a trainer to show me the equipment and run a diagnostic on me to show me my fat / water ratio and set a baseline for me. I decided that I liked Becky and set up several training sessions as I was just starting and felt I would need some assistance at the beginning. I did do 8 sessions and it's gone great. I will be on my own after two more, but I now have more confidence in what I can achieve and a better understanding of what I need to do. Equipment is great and they offer a good variety of machine style equipment and free weights. If you're just starting, I recommend going for a trainer if you can do it. It makes a big difference. Yes, the crowd is older, and there are some in rehabilitation, but I've yet to have a problem getting on equipment and everyone is polite and nice. I'm not surrounded by a ton of physically fit athletes, but I'm not intimidated and it's encouraged me. I had done a water aerobics class which was fun and you really get a workout. I plan on trying some others, but I know I can only do evening ones. Unfortunately, my work ours are such that the day classes are not for me. IF you really want to do classes, I'd review that part as it may not be for you. If you want to do some aerobic equipment and weight lifting equipment and get in and out of a gym and feel like the equipment is well made, I would say this is a great gym for you. The women's locker rooms are nice and clean. Showers are well built with privacy area. Hot tub is really nice and lap pool is gorgeous and big. I'm buying swim fins to try and do laps next. Lots of amenities which I like that a lot of other places don't have like the size of this pool.
