  • LA Fitness - DO NOT JOIN

    This is my first post but i though I would warn people abiut LA Fitness if you have not already heard

     I joined the gym in Marylebone, London for approx 2 years. During that time the facilities were OK but i could not work out in rush hour as it was too busy and constantly waiting for machines plus a lot of the time the pool was out of action and the sauna very rarely hot but since it was near my office i went at lunchtmes which were not too bad

     The problems with Membership started this year, i tried to suspend my membership twice this year sinc i was working away, they did not but just kept billing me and please take note you have to give over a months notice to suspend

     I tried to cancel my membership on the 5th Sept, they told be I am liable for another full months membership since the cancelation policy is not one month its one month after they have billed you again,so I still had to pay full membership for Oct as well, so i cancelled the direct debit

    This morning I have just recieved a solicitors letter saying I ower them another 2 months money (£110) and if I don't pay they are going to take me to court plus I have not even cancelled my membership!

    I have spent a few hours hunting around the net and this seems to have happened to 1000's of people,

    There are plenty of gyms around nowadays do yourself a favour and join one of them, avoid LA fitness it will be a very costly mistake

    I've always felt the big chains were after your money more than anything else, so I'm not surprised by what you say.

    A lot of gyms have long term contracts - be very sure before you sign a contract that you like the place, the location is right, etc, etc.

    I've had a bad experience with a big chain too - from now on it's the local gym for me - so much more personal, they know my name etc, etc.
