My child was recently hired for a summer lifeguard position at Life Time, and unfortunately the…read moreonboarding experience has been extremely disappointing. She is currently a high school senior balancing final exams, end-of-year sports commitments, concerts, and other school obligations she has committed to through graduation. Throughout communication with the manager she would be reporting to, she provided the days and times she was available based on her school schedule and activities. However, no specific onboarding or training dates were clearly communicated upfront, such as mandatory dates for the team. After a misunderstanding regarding "next week" versus the week after Memorial Day -- when she actually has days off from school -- she received a message stating that more availability was expected from her. Shortly after, he informed her that he would have to let her go because of this. What was also concerning was the expectation of ongoing text communication during the school day. In New York, students are not permitted to be using their phones during school hours, yet she felt pressured to respond. Students and parents should be aware of this lack of communication and understanding when dealing with high school applicants. Clear onboarding expectations and schedules should be communicated upfront, especially when hiring students who are still actively in school. A little professionalism and respect for academics would have gone a long way here.

There are a handful of times in life when something comes your way that changes your life. Walking…read moreinto TFW 8 weeks back is one of those instances for me. I am already in the best shape I have ever been in and it only took 8 weeks. This program has it all : structure, motivation, personal attention from trainers and a supportive group of people cheering you on. Before TFW I had tried it all. Group classes, boot camps, p90x. Nothing kept me motivated the way TFW did. The combination of power lifting and compound exercises is so effective, you see results right away. When you hit your personal bests and keep pushing through in class, it has a ripple effect in your life. I carry that energy and power into my life and feel happier and more energetic to tackle challenges. Highly recommend this place to anyone at any stage of life and fitness level

He's been coming here for years, so I started in November. The owner, Joe, and all the coaches, especially Brian and Kerry, are great!! They've been helping me every step of the way. All the members are so friendly and helpful, everyone made me feel welcome right away. The TFW classes are an intense workout with high energy that will make you fit and strong. There's a different style of the class everyday that will keep you coming back every night. Lots of hard work and lots of fun at the same time!!

This is a smaller and mellower LA Fitness gym in the Nassau Mall in Levittown, Nassau County on…read moreLong Island. Smaller and mellower works well! No line for the equipment, plenty of dumbbells available for this dumbbell at all times, proactive maintenance staff who keep the showers, sauna, toilets and the workout floor clean and stocked; nice layout with a quiet room with loads of mats to do stretching, yoga poses( 2 seconds for me) and ab work, a nice tricep pull-down area and a basketball court. No racquetball but Farmingdale is just a few minutes east. Love that the juice bar has added protein pre made meals in their freezer with a microwave for immediate consumption. The sauna is always hot. I get to this location maybe 3 or 4 times a year. I have to mention the wonderful Gabriel who opened the gym in the snowstorm at 7 am sharp. He was happy and welcoming as the rush came in. Thank you LAF for being open today. Now it's foodie fun time as the NFL Championship games are just a few hours away.

Alan Schoenfeld is an outstanding manager at the Levittown L.A. Fitness. He is professional,…read morefriendly, approachable, and genuinely cares about both the members and the facility. Every time I see Alan, he greets members with a warm smile and takes the time to ask how they're doing. That level of personal attention is rare and makes everyone feel welcome. He's also one of the few managers I've noticed who politely reminds members to re-rack their weights as a courtesy to others, helping keep the gym organized and safe. Alan takes pride in maintaining the equipment and is always visible on the gym floor, making sure everything is running smoothly while checking in with members. His positive attitude, strong work ethic, and commitment to excellent customer service truly set him apart. L.A. Fitness is fortunate to have Alan on its team, and I wish more managers demonstrated the same level of professionalism and dedication. He is a tremendous asset to the Levittown location.

COACH CHANDO: 1)…read moreOBSERVANT - In the 2 days (90 minutes combined) I had visited the training center, he seemed to know everything about me just by the way I was training with him. Keep in mind that there are other students in the class, but he notices every detail about his students, the breath we take per move/reps (even with masks on), 2) PROFESSIONAL & COMMUNICATIVE - With his keen observation skills, he's quick to correct posture or can tell if we've trained before (I say he's psychic), he also has the ability to tell how we carry our backpacks/or handbags and if they are heavy or not, he will know based on our posture if we are the type who have sedimentary jobs or not and advises on how to autocorrect form. I do value the fact as we work out, he tells us where we should be feeling the burn and why and which part of the body we are working. 3) FRIENDLY & WARM/INTERPERSONAL SKILLS - he doesn't intimidate and he can easily make quick connections to build rapport and trust so as we are working out, he empowers us with confidence we need to push ourselves. He intuitively knows our personal limit as to when we need to be pushed hard and when we need to slow it down. F45 PLAINVIEW 1) I've been to many gyms and worked out with many trainers, but i do enjoy the F45 concept, 45 minutes your in and your out with a sweat. This is a great concept for those individuals who lack discipline in a gym environment. 2) Days are scheduled based on what the functional exercises and which area of the body you will be working (core, upper, lower, cardio, etc). 3) The camaraderie you gain when you attend. I only attended 2 sessions and the members welcomed me with open arms and thumbs up support in a few of the exercises I failed at. We all have a common objective in mind and its just getting through the 45 minutes is where we bond at... then its a great feeling when you see them again the very next day. If i could choose to be a member at F45 Plainview, I definitely would. But i'll need to find another F45 (and a Coach Chando) in PNW area. THANK YOU F45 PLAINVIEW & COACH CHANDO! Hoping i can come back and visit again soon!

The building is located in a warehouse-like area, but it works for a gym! After the first class, I was exhausted. The class is different every time. There can be weights, ropes, burpees and everything in between. The exercises and timed reps really help me in building endurance. Brenda is an excellent trainer. She encourages rest for those who aren't physically advanced and also pushes us when she knows we are capable of continuing certain workouts. I ask how to do certain exercises the proper way plenty of times and Brenda is kind enough to demonstrate them. I've attended her classes several times and intend to keep coming for my one intense workout a week.
