    The Pro's: Super…read moreclean Great equipment Everything works Locker rooms are good The con's Members are uptight snobs Zero excitement or energy in the gym. The place is like a morgue. Staff SEEMS unenthusiastic and apathetic Average age is about 65 The vibe is off.

    It's a gym and it's big that's all about I can say for this LA Fitness. I've been coming to the…read moresame location for close to 15 years, I've canceled and rejoined many of times, depending on what promotions they have or if I have moved out of the area, but always still seem to come back to this one cause it's the closest one to me. With that being said, it's the same equipment that I've been working out on for 15 years. Even the treadmills have the old iPhone connectors that were pre-Lightning if that tells you just how old they are. I find a lot of the machines to be barely functional and just old looking. And instead of adding more machines to combat the high crowds, they decided to add some type of CrossFit section in the middle, which I think is a total waste of space. The bathrooms need a major revamp and are constantly disgusting with the sauna being in poor shape. Those I would easily not even give a single star. The hours at this gym are atrocious too, I remember when they rebranded to Esporta for a little bit during Covid, they had promises to become 24 hours which I strongly feel this gym needs because we don't have really any in the area that are like that but taking that a step further, this gym closes at 10 PM Monday through Thursday and Friday, Saturday and Sunday even worse, with them opening at 8 AM. Overall, this gym is functional. It works hence the two stars, but it's in serious need of a remodel and operating times extension.

    After the initial shock and anger over events from yesterday and sleeping on it I can say yes I am…read morestill shocked and still angry as hell. Now, with that being said let me say this. Having worked in the corporate world for years I completely understand change and that people are at time let go for any number of reasons, I have seen it first hand. But when a company handles and does things the way that yesterday happened it's just wrong. We have had to beg for equipment, for a water cooler in our gym. One of the co-owner moved to Florida to take care of the Brandon gym I have seen his face at the gym twice since he moved here and that was only when many of us voiced our concerns regarding the broken equipment. Most people don't even know who he is. He does not return calls, texts, emails. He is non-existent even though the owner tells you otherwise. It's easy to "think" things are Bri g taken care of when you love states away. Out of sight out of mind. Our location has had no guidance or leadership from the owners since it opened. It came from the people who worked inside the gym. They shed blood sweat and tears to make sure each person that walked through those doors succeeded. They made the place home and family. To rip them from us for not naming phone calls...seriously?!?! Their job was to train us. Of which they went above and beyond to do. Your business is driven by word of mouth which my mouth has been one of the biggest cheerleaders. Your business is driven by OUR success. Your business is driven by us sharing our stories, our pictures and your advertisements as part of our requirements. You took two individuals who helped us become healthy and went above and beyond to reach out to us to be our cheerleaders when we felt we couldn't do this. Where were you? No where to be found. I have been at the gym for almost a year and have seen first hand that you are only driven by the number of people that attend orientation, at least in the Brandon location. I cant attest to the other areas. I do not say this out of anger but out of facts. Look at all the other locations compared to Brandon. There is no comparison, Brandon is pushed aside. You ripped away two I individuals who eat, sleep and breath fitness and left us with someone that has no experience and no certification. Where is the concern for our safety? I would and will never take away anyone bettering themselves and kudos for that. However your first thought should be your customers. Yes , you are getting another trainer and I wish her the best and I hope that she succeeds and does not find herself in this situation. We the paying customers pay WAY more for Legion than should be necessary. Why?! Because of the trainers. They are the heart and soul. Without them you have nothing. If not for Germaine James and Pedro Alvarez I would have never become a member. I would have completed my challenges and left. Speaking of which we had a conversation in regards to your marketing and ads and how deceiving they are. You really should change the wording. But unfortunately you do not listen to what any of us have to say because again, it's only about the number. I am loyal to a fault and as you have no doubt seen so are so many of our Fitfam. You may have but a bump in the road but we will not be defeated. I have no doubt that Those two will go very far because they have the love and the drive to succeed for the right reasons. The fact that you are requiring astronomical cancellation fees to people is beyond wrong. You left us with a trainer that has 0 experience except being in challengers with the rest of us. You said he has been given guidance from you co-owner...when? How is that possible when he is never there. Shame on you, this whole situation is just wrong. Before I close let me give a huge shout out to the other two faces of the Brandon location. I have watched these two in their own journey and have been so inspired by them. Anne Carré and Amanda Berrios are the face that greets us when we walk through that door. They cheer us on, they guide us they welcome us with a smile. And again they get no support.

    This is the place to challenge yourself physically and mentally. I took the 6-week challenge and…read moretreated it as a 5-week challenge (just like it says in the document they provide). I'm almost in the middle of the 6th week and I already evaporated 21 Lbs. & 3.6% Body Fat (BF). Weigh out is this Saturday and I'm sure I will have evaporated more Lbs. & BF. They provide all the exercises, meals plan & coaching. But it's up to you to stick with it. FTDI! (Follow The D@mn Instructions) The mental part is mainly applicable to strengthening your Willpower: you have to drink the recommended amount of water, you have to stick with the meal plan, you have to sleep between 7-8 hours a day, you have to show up at least 5x a week, and you have to push yourself every day. The coaches do a great job also, but you'll be surprised to find out that your body can do a whole lot more than your mind thinks it can! Personally, I kept a log of everything: how much water I consumed, what I ate, which exercises I did, how much sleep I got. Because for me: If it's not on paper, it's just vapor! Great place to train, with plenty of modifiers of each exercise (So it's NOT 1 size fits all!), and like-minded people. So many different levels of fitness enthusiasts (If you are not one, you will become one :-D) Everyone is treated equally from absolute beginner to advanced. You don't have to be great to start but you do have to start, to become great!
