LA Fitness Innovation in Fitness and Wellness

LA fitness was founded in 1984 by Chin Yol Yi and Lewis Welsh in Los Angeles, California. During this year, different fitness centers in the United States were combined from different fitness clubs that were continually operated and managed by LA Fitness. 

They were found in Arizona, Georgia, Florida, California, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas, Connecticut, Washington, and New Jersey. And they steadily grow to 135 traditional fitness centers and sports clubs. LA Fitness became widely known because of their prototypical design of giving new techniques and services like strength and cardio equipment, free weights and group exercise room, swimming pool and court offered to members with a wider variety of workout options.

LA Fitness Customer Reviews

It is inevitable that one business establishment could gain negative and positive reviews for their services. LA Fitness gained both good and bad impression to their customers, although these reviews vary from different locations. There were some who were unsatisfied with a certain location because it was understaffed. Some also have customer service issues in their area. You can also read some membership issues regarding with LA Fitness, some of which has issues regarding with the credit card charges. One of the few things I noticed reading with the reviews is some has complaints about the sanitation of the area. However, there were other customers who were very satisfied with their membership. 

The facilities were indeed complete and you can personalize your training programs. Some were also happy with their personal trainers because of their excellent customer service. Some were also happy because they get to choose different facilities, from playing basketball, hitting on the weights, swimming to the pool, or just steaming out on punch bags. Moms who are also working out would never have a problem bringing in their kids because of the baby sitting service that they provide. Overall, from 1984 up to the present, the company has managed to strive on and adapt to the changing needs and levels of satisfaction of the clients. I guess it’s fair enough to say that they did really made a difference when it comes to attracting fitness and wellness to people, and that could be a legacy given by LA Fitness.
