LA Fitness - Austell (GA)

1 /5 Ingrid R. Lewis: LA Fitness (Austell Rd) - Yikes! After being unimpressed with the Kennesaw location, I decided to visit this LA Fitness in Austell to see if it was any different. This one was even worse. I am not sure if there is a decline with this brand, but something is not right. The facility is dirty. When I used the treadmill, I had to hunt down wipes for the machine. There seems to be more of a focus on upselling other products—advertisements are everywhere—but the carpet, equipment, and atmosphere feel old. I felt sad since I am an older person, and many of the other members I saw are older, too. I just felt like we deserve better. The aqua class was cancelled due to a pool issue, and many of the members who drove out for the class complained that this is a frequent occurrence. I decided to join a different gym.

2 /5 Natashe Kelly: 1. This gym is never clean. Every morning, it is dirty and there are never paper towels or hand sanitizer in machines. 2. Machines are old and always lean off hinges. 3. All the photos in the facility are of Caucasian people working out and there is one black person on the wall all the way in the back of building. The majority of the people I see are of other races but are not represented. 4. The person at front desk is never watching who comes in gym because they are working out.

5 /5 Jason Welsh: I have been going to this gym for about 6 months now. I have made a lot of progress in my fitness journey. The staff is nice and helpful, the facilities are kept clean and the equipment is serviced regularly. I also want to mention that they have a sauna, a full size indoor swimming pool, a hot tub, a supplement bar, full size basketball court, several racket ball courts and a spinning room. I have also noticed a classroom for there many offered classes. I have never been to a gym with so many amenities. It is often busy but there always seems to be enough equipment to accommodate. I rarely have to wait to use anything as they have multiple sets of machines. They also have free weights that are kept clean and very serviceable. This is a rare place where you get more than you pay for! Highly recommend to everyone!

2 /5 Brian Jones: This gym has really gone downhill the last three months. The front desk staff is super nice, but there’s always stuff broken or damaged, it gets dirty, and I am not sure if they clean daily. For example, it looked dirty this morning at 6:30am. The wipe containers were empty nearly all over the gym, and the paper towel dispensers were empty in most spots, as well in the bathroom. How are people supposed to clean off their equipment?? Cleanliness needs to be priority #1 in a gym and this place fails it.
