LA Fitness Guildford Review

Ive been a member of LA fitness for just over a years now, and signing up for two years is one of the worst decisions I have made (They had a two year offer that sounded really good at the time!) How wrong was I!

Things you should know about LA Fitness Guildford before you sign up!

1. The staffs are very un-friendly, If you have a problem they will make it sound like you’re the only one that has a problem with it (they are very nice when you first go there to sign up though!)
2. The cleaners are the laziest people I’ve have ever seen, they think that quickly going round with a dirty mop and giving the floor a wipe will do the trick.
3. Because of the floors are not cleaned or disinfected properly you are most likely to get atheist foot at some point (like I did)
4. If you are planning on using the Pool, Steam Room, Sauna or Jacuzzi, you should be aware that most of the time one of them is not working or has a fault
5. The Steam room is normally only warm with a bit of steam, or too hot with no steam …. And some times dangerously hot to the point where you can’t sit down because the seats will burn you , but what is consistent is the dirty floor in the steam room!
6. The staff will tell you that the pool temperature is 28C, which anyone I talk to would strongly disagree with that. Most people think its more like 22C-24C Most swimming pools operate about 28C-30C, Great if you like a cold pool though!
7. The staff and management change every few months which means that nothing gets done, and they really don’t care as there not likely to stick around anyway. The only time when I’ve seen them bothered about doing anything is when they had there audit
8. The changing rooms are very old looking and not well maintained, there have been several time when I’ve gone there and they have had no hot water in the showers, and as you have guessed “dirty floors”!! .Through the summer the changing rooms get really hot because they wont fix the air-con because it will cost to much to fix
9. The gym area is looking very tired and need updating, The staff will tell you that it’s the members fault why the Air-con is not working in gym area with the excuses of “people keep turning it up and down”??? Can you work that one out???
10. If all that has not put you off , this is something that could cost you a lot of money if you are not very very careful – The Driveway leading to the gym has a massive pot-hole in it, to the point where your registration will go under water when its been raining !! This has been there for the more then a year now and getting much much dangerous BEWARNED!! (Not very good as a first impression.

This is my review of LA Fitness Guildford

There are some nice LA Fitness gyms, and this is definitely not one of them!!

I wish I had read your very honest, truthful, and thorough review of this sorry excuse for a fitness facility before I had signed up. Now I'm in a nightmare dealing with them, as they've sold me a contract based on untruths. We will win, as they are clearly in breach of UK Civil Laws, but it's not the way we'd like to spend our time.

***People: stay away from this gym! They will sell you a pack of lies and they don't care about your health, just their pocketbooks. Not to mention, the facility is awful.

Your welcome

Its worth saying that LA Fitness is in a lot of debt and because of this they are applying for a CVA, This will affect the Guildford LA Fitness “if” it gets accepted, The plan is to sell 33 of the branch to another company (in Guildford’s case surrender the building back to the landlord)

I’m sure you will agree that place need a lot of money pumping into it !!!

Just for your information the CVA gets agreed or rejected on the 24th March 2014 – failing the CVA getting agreed the company faces possible administration (which is very likely if it is rejected)

Ether way the club will be changing hands or possibly closing

If all this has not put you off at least wait till you hear the outcome of the CVA on the 24th March 2014
