    Everything you NEED and COULD WANT. Kids area, pool, showers and lockers. Aerobic classes and always a clean area. Great staff even in the evenings staff are helpful. No sauna, hot tub nor ice tubs some machines could be upgraded however this is a serious gym all work no play.

    LA FITNESS CHELTENHAM IS THE BEST GYM I HAVE BEEN TO! The gym is always cleaned and organized. Also, the front desk workers are very nice and welcoming with bright smiles. The manager in the front I believe her name is Tiffany was very helpful and friendly towards me. She introduced me to Tamika who had set up the gym membership for me, I recommend anyone to sign up with her, I promise you would be in great hands.

    The gym itself is good... decent equipment, relatively new. Staff is friendly. Most times I come to work out, I enjoy it. But on some weekday evenings too many members play their own boom boxes without headphones, forcing everyone else to listen to their workout mix. I am usually trying to listen to a book through my power beats instead of adding another layer of cacophony on top of the gym's music and theirs, but sometimes I can't even hear that. So if I didn't already have a lifetime LA membership, and if it wasn't closest to home, I wouldn't choose this location.

    Hmmm where do I start. I’ve been contemplating going to this gym for a while now. I heard it’s better than planet fitness. I went in today spoke to Tamika and let me say she’s very ummm pushy and kept saying how this was better than planet fitness. So I went on a tour of the gym with her and it lasted for literally 2 minutes. The gym is small. Small as hell. I mean only 3-4 of certain machines not a lot of space it’s just small. Planet fitness is definitely bigger with more machines and just as clean. Idk why anyone would pay $40 or $50 a month for la fitness. planet fitness is 25 a month open 24/7 and has massage chairs.

    I was told by a Staff that if my payment is late not even 5 days i cant enter the gym. My monthly dues was up to date, however the yearly 49 was 4 days late. Coperate office informed me thats not LA fitness policy i should be allowed to use the gym, and they will be reaching out to their manager and get back to me. When i join i pay first and last month dues, If i close your account i have a month to use the gym. This is the 3rd time i had to call coperate about this same staff, my dues was 2 days late and she told me i had to update my card, i told the card on file is active. Coperate applogy is not accepted. A few days ago their was nothing to sanitize eqipment, which is a health hazard. Gym is somtime dirty. Dont pay for their programs, As a Elite Fitness coach, body building Coach NASM and ISSA personal trainer, wellness bodybuilder, and a Nurse i have seen many instances where new clients are put at risk for injury by performing a exercise or movement with the incorect form, or eqipment thats not suitable for them, or too heavy weights, I had to correct 2 of their trainers 2 times, who have probles with correction, hello i cant stand and watch you cause harm to sombody, esspicially a older person. By the way all their trainers need to be trained themselves. And in PA its illegal to give nutrition advice or counciling without a Nutrition degree. So please get their credentials and sucess, of how many clients that they have help reach their finess goals before you put out your hard earn money. If your pulse, bp and oxigen is not check before during and after your workout thats 1 red flag. I can go on but i will leave it right here

    The gym staff at this gym are lazy and not helpful at all. They do not greet you when you come in or say anything when you leave. The machines need to be wiped off more often. It is kind of congested in this gym. People are pretty loud that go to this gym, loud on the phone and singing loud, talking loud to each other. No one came around to make sure that the weights were in the correct spot. Also, classes can be canceled down to the last minute smh.

    Horrible management. Had a recent issue with another member who tried to monopolize one of the machines that I was trying to use, and she would not allow me to work in with her. I tried to explain the situation to management, and the manager seemed very aloof about my concern. Talking to the manager was a complete waste of time. As a dues paying member, I have just as much right to use the equipment in the facility as anyone else. The issue with the selfish member left a bad taste in my mouth, but speaking to the manager left an even worse taste. I would NOT recommend this gym to anyone, and I'm likely going to try another one.

    This LA Fitness is a great place for a workout. It is new, clean and has plenty of cardio machines. The locker rooms are clean and the pool is a decent temperature. It would be a five star rating if the music volume were not so earsplitting. Its almost impossible to hear your own music even with earphones. Overall a great place.

    Practical, unfussy gym with full complement of the usual machines, mats, and free weights. Locker rooms are clean enough, staff will help if you ask but otherwise leave you alone. Pool (slightly overheated for lap swimming) is on the short side (60') and has only three lanes. No sauna or jacuzzi. The mood is get in, do your thing, and get out. I'd give five stars except that the pool is too hot.

    LA Fitness in Cheltenham is the best gym I've been to. The staff is so helpful, especially the young ladies at the front desk! I recommend this gym to anyone because they have so much space, equipment, and the pool for those days when I needed lower impact.

    I’ve been a member of LA FITNESS since before 2014. I’ve been to many of their locations including out of town’s. I live about 10-20 minutes from at least four different locations. I find Cheltenham’s to be the best. It’s always clean. Cleanest of all. It large enough that you’re not cramped. Largest variety of all machines. Employees always greet and say goodbye.

    Love the gym! Close to home…the pool is amazing & heated all year around. Tiffany & her front desk staff are so nice. There’s always a smile & hello when we enter this gym. It’s one of the cleanest in the area.

    I have been a member of La Fitness for awhile and I recently started at this facility. I usually work out mid mornings, and this staff is amazing whether it's Krissy, Tiffany, Amber, Elora, or Kathy they always greet everyone with a smile and "enjoy your workout". The facilities are clean. The guy John who does maintenance literally never stops moving. He's moping the floors, returning weights, wiping off machines, and is always friendly. Not only is the staff professional and approachable, but the members are all friendly. Everyone is trying to get a good workout and don't mind letting you work in with them and are willing to give advice if you ask. I've been a member of a lot of gyms but this place certainly feels like home.

    It was clean, the locker room was nice, with good sized lockers. The pool looked good and on a Sunday afternoon it was not all that busy.

    Delayed response to address my request and I had to call several times before being able to speak with a manager. Somewhat stressful experience after being told I had to come in to speak to the manager and the manager wasn't here on my arrival. Finally the issue was resolved over the phone.

  • 4/5 Malcolm C. 8 months ago on Google
    Early Morning gym rat, 4-5 times a week. Busy at the time I go. Relatively clean all around. Half of treadmills need to be fixed. Slowish turn around on fixing other equipment. It has enough for me( mainly use free weights). Mrs Cathy At the front is very welcoming.

  • 5/5 shwanda r. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome use of space. This location has a great vibe. Plenty of equipment, clean facility and plenty of parking far better than the Cottman location, which tends to be overrated and super crowded. At the time of my last visit there was an awesome cycle class going on...it was Lit. Lastly the pool looked inviting and the restrooms were clean.

  • 3/5 Tamara Q. 9 months ago on Google
    It lacks cleanliness as it just lost the best maintenance manager, ever. There's dust bunnies all over the class floors and the mirrors never get cleaned. The bikes are so old it's terrible! Many bikes break down...The entire club needs an upgrade since much of the equipment has been there since grand opening 5yrs ago. Morning classes are lacking only offering one where other clubs offer equal amount of 2 in AM and 2-3 in PM. Terrible. The manager is very good trying to work with deficiencies...he tries to accommodate. Customers must drive to Abington or Ft. Washington to get class workouts! Other than that it's what the community has

    Floors for yoga dirty with big dust Bonnie's. No sauna available. Showers and pool great clean locker rooms

    Joined today great staff generally but our rep Corey was great, smart, knowledgeable, courteous & he explained everything really well. If you decide to join LA Fitness ask for Corey you won't be sorry.

  • 3/5 Yiannis D. 7 months ago on Google
    I've been coming here almost a year now and im usually there once a week. it's large and has amenities. some of the machines are missing pieces and it doesn't appear they're in any rush to keep them maintained. the place is obviously never cleaned. the part of the ellipticals where you place your feet is filled with crud and debris and it only grows more and more. you will see the same trash sitting in broken cup holders for months. what's upsetting is they recently removed the soap and paper towel dispensers so now I can't even clean the equipment when I'm done using it. still leaving 3 stars because it's a good value for the price as my health insurance pays for my membership in full the staff is decent, u can see them hanging out and having a good time and I don't blame them for doing that instead of cleaning cuz they're probably paid scraps and I would be doing the same in their position. but last time I was there they were all in the front and blocking the walkway into the gym and not paying attention to ppl like me trying to get thru. even tho they apologized it was kinda annoying. if you're all standing blocking the only way in and out at least pay attention in case someone needs to make their way thru

  • 3/5 Sheena S. 7 months ago on Google
    I attend the gym early evenings during the week and in the mornings on the weekend. The staff are super friendly and helpful, but La fitness takes out too much money every month plus the annual fee to have sound system issues for Zumba classes ( the speakers need to be wireless to stop remove the outdated equipment, the mates for yoga snd other floor activities are torn up or there are store brought ones mixed in ( not uniformed). The overall gym needs to be cleaned deeply

  • 4/5 Harrison L. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall I enjoy working out here due to convenient location, friendly staff, and good equipment selection. However there are a few significant areas that need improvement: 1) at all times about half of the cardio equipment is broken and at least half of that number are not even marked for repair. It would only take 10 minutes daily to quickly check and tag broken equipment. 2) despite being friendly, the cleaners NEVER use wet floor signs which is extremely dangerous! 3) Gym users are often not careful with equipment leading to damage or misplaced equipment which can make workouts challenging and frustrating. I will say that at least 1 staff member works hard to stay on top of replacing equipment so this is primarily a member problem, but still a drawback with this location.

  • 4/5 Cloris W. 1 year ago on Google
    The gym is ok. I do Zumba and the instructors need to stick to the schedule. I think they need to realize that the attendees of their class has other things scheduled after their class. Theresa the Zumba instructor is very good about the schedule but other instructors are not. Gym is usually pretty clean. Kids area is closed permanently.

  • 5/5 Kelly C R. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this gym, it feels like home. Zumba is fun and keeps me happy. Clean, upbeat location with a lap pool. Gotta love the manager,Tamika, she is super nice and always greets you with a smile.

  • 5/5 Alicia J. 1 year ago on Google
    You can just feel the vibe as soon as I arrive! It is a very encouraging environment, the trainers are very friendly and the staff is very personable and helpful. The facilities are always clean. I look forward to coming here every day to put that work in. I always feel better when I leave and there’s no place I’d rather be !!

  • 5/5 Erika S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing gym! Always clean! Friendly staff. Deidra the fitness instructor gives the best, most inspirational class! Tamika is so helpful and friendly. I love when she joins our class and works out with us! All around a great experience!

  • 4/5 Durmel C. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was clean, Bright and wide open. It wasn't too crowded, and it had a nice that's a nice workout vibe to it. Do it. The locker rooms were clean as were the bathrooms at least on the men's side.All of the equipment that I saw was in good repair and did not show signs of excessive wear. The only thing missing was a sauna, and I might have actually missed that

    Visiting friends in Philly and stopped by. Pool was a nice treat. Tall guy named Martin was really friendly and very knowledgeable and gave me some great tips. Definitely stopping by again next time I’m in town.

    Tamika is AWESOME! Makes navigating health improvement options easy. She gets it! Bonus points for patience, clarity, super warm personality, following up, and even staying late when I was delayed. I’ll be changing my LA fitness location of choice to here! When it’s time to add the kids, talk to Tamika
