LA Fitness

Two bathrooms out of three are broken and out of service for two weeks in a row. The locker room is dirty, black mold in the showers due to increased condensation. When this issue was brought up to the desk their response is that the building is older and they encourage to keep shower/pool/locker doors open to reduce humidity.Two stairmaster machines are out of order without any signage no service to Repair booked. I love this gym due to a variety of machines and sauna/jacuzzi, but it is becoming dirtier with each year. The cafe is closed for years, first due to Covid and now it is used for storage. The staff are welcoming but lazy. I hope the management can turn this place around.

I’ve been going to this gym for 8 + years. When I first joined I was so nervous and the staff made me feel very comfortable. Now when I come in I feel like I’m apart of a family, I always feel welcomed, comfortable and I feel a sense of belonging.Ive been inspired and transformed thanks to an amazing friend/Man/ idol/ trainer/ director Tyler Jeffery. This man has big goals of his own and yet constantly takes the time for others and helps others achieve their goals. He’s the nicest man I’ve ever met and he’s taught me so much already. I’m happier since meeting this kind soul. Everyday I come in and see him I feel his energy and radiant positive vibes keeping me on track without even realizing it. This man deserves all praises! Thank you so much Tyler you’re incredible!

LA Fitness is a rip off. They close at 8pm on Saturday and Sunday and 10pm on Friday while other gyms are either open late or 24/7. They close on all holidays whereas other gyms don’t mind paying an employee stat pay to keep their gyms open. The customer service goes from 100 to 0 the moment they lock you in a contract. The water fountains are disgusting and constantly in disrepair. The equipment is old and needs to be cleaned. Last but not least, once you realize its simply not worth it because there are better options, you can not cancel your membership without going in to the gym to meet with a manager. In 2023, you can not send them an email or use the app to suspend or cancel your membership. CROOKS trying to make up on covid losses by ripping people off. At least bring back the towels if you are going to charge an annual cost in addition to the monthly cost.

Extremely dirty. Although the facilities are good, they do not clean well. This is the treadmill and stair machine I used today. So gross. They are never cleaned.

This gym has sadly gone downhill. Equipment is not maintained and is often out of service. Cleanliness of the gym, pool, and washrooms is poor - most sinks are typically out of soap and paper towels, no spray bottles around to clean equipment, and the pool is often foul in colour and smell (the water is usually cloudy, which should not happen in a properly maintained pool). There are a handful of very rude staff that have zero accountability. I’ve never seen a cleaner actually wipe down the equipment and instead they stand around and occasionally “dust”. Security is poor and have heard of multiple patrons having personal belongings stolen with no help from staff. Not sure if this is a one off for LA or they’re all like this but will not be renewing.

No snack bar.The washrooms were a bit filthy.Over all is a nice gym with good location but missing the bar is kinda deal breaker. They have vending machines but they don't have smoothies or protein shake.*Big plus I came here on a Saturday noon and it was very empty. I would say only 10 people in the whole gym.**No turf in this location.**The bicycle section is very cool, they are on a stage.The missing star is for the turf and the lack of maintaining the washrooms.

Been a member since it originally opened. Too busy these days, like a daycare for kids who like to swarm coming in and one ties up the counter while the rest scoot by. Cleanliness has gone downhill, partially caused by too many people. Hard to get on equipment and benches in the evening. Large facility but losing its charm. Change rooms are filthy with numerous locker doors ripped off and bathrooms and showers need more attention, again due to far too many people. I will likely remain a member but wishing management would focus on running it properly.

Love hate relationship with LA Fitness South end. When this place is packed it’s a nightmare. It’s not the biggest gym for free weights and with the traffic it gets after 4:30pm good luck getting a bench the high school boys are there texting. I’ve seen no crowd issues with cardio machines they have tons. Weight lifting machines get busy fast. It’s a pretty clean environment which is nice. I’ve been training here for 5+ years and it hasn’t changed much which can be good or bad depending on what you want from your gym. I love it for always being reliable and close to home for me. It works for me and I pay a cheap price due to how long ago I signed up (during a promo as well). The hours open aren’t the best for those that want that nice 24/7 I’ll workout whenever I want benefit. With the current prices if you are starting out I might consider GoodLife Barrie instead for a premium of around 60 a month. Great staff that lets you do your thing that is something I’ve always enjoyed, a great group working there. Check out other gyms but don’t leave this option out it’s a great reliable gym with great staff.

I've been a member at LA Fitness Barrie South for a few years now and it's been nothing but a positive experience. The facility is always clean and tidy, which I'm sure is thanks to Amanda. The pool and free weights are great, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The members are awesome too - it has such a welcoming atmosphere. I'm extremely satisfied with my experience here - definitely worth the money!

I have been a regular member of this gym, and the sauna has always been a key part of my routine. It's been nearly two weeks since the sign went up saying that the sauna is out of order, and I am extremely disappointed with the gym's lack of urgency in fixing it. For a supposedly big and professional establishment, it's unacceptable to have such an important feature out of commission for such a long time. I hope the gym management will take immediate action to get the sauna fixed and prevent further inconvenience to their members.I will continue writing reviews until it’s up and running again.
