Esporta Fitness

Gym

😠 This gym is really starting to go down hill. It isn’t very clean and there is always something broken. Ever since it changed names from LA Fitness it has slowly gone downhill. I can pay a lesser membership fee and get the same experience somewhere else. People often mention membership, equipment, machines, staff, Fitness, time, cancel, work, fitness, people,

    The staff at Esporta are hilarious! Pulled an epic prank this morning. I got to the parking lot at 04:55 and waited until 05:25 for someone to open the gym! I ended up just driving away! Great value and great service ya'll.

    Been coming to the Esporta in Graceland since LA fitness was there and I must say the staff there is awful. Unless you're 55 years old or you're an 18 year old girl who dresses half naked the staff is very disrespectful. Was lifting a little heavy and one of the personal trainers came over and told me that I was slamming a metal bar against a metal rack too hard and then proceeded to show me what he thought was too loud, all because he was on a conference call. What a way to lose a member whose been there for probably longer than 5 years. Then the operations manager didnt seem to care at all when I was cancelling my membership. If I want to be harrassed about being too loud I would join Planet Fitness, at least they're only 10$ a month. I will never be back there and will tell anyone who asks not to join there. What a terrible way to lose a long time member.

    Okay I literally never leave a bad review for anyone but I just had to this time around. I got to experience this gym one time and ended up paying over $200 for it. I was referred by a friend and then started receiving text messages about signing up for a membership that would be $1 for the first month and about $25 a month there after. I was told there would be NO CONTRACT. I double checked. So I signed up and went one time. It was an okay experience, a lot of the machinery was broken or missing parts that made it uncomfortable to use. I thought maybe I would try out other locations and give it a shot. But the next month I got charged over $50 for an annual fee (makes sense as to why they were willing to give me the previous month for $1 and leave out the annual fee that was soon to come out). So I decide after that charge that this gym wasn't worth the money I have spent so I went in person to cancel my membership. They said it would be canceled in a few days later. Fast forward 3 months and I check my bank statement and I'VE STILL BEEN GETTING CHARGED! I call member services and they say there's nothing they can do to refund me (although they saw there was a message in my account saying I tried to cancel in October) but they'll cancel my account now (in January after already paying for this month) and waive the $25 cancellation fee because APPARENTLY I WAS IN A CONTRACT. I should have known it was all a scam by the $1 for the first month, but I actually trusted the person that was helping me sign up for my membership. So all in all, don't fall for this place and their scams. There are way better gyms out there with GREAT equipment that actually care about the experience you have with them and being transparent about your membership. ITS REALLY NOT THAT HARD TO BE HONEST WITH PEOPLE.

    The gym is great for the price, but the reviews about the equipment are true. Every single time I come (which is almost daily), I have to try multiple machines before I get one that works. This is specifically the cardio machines. Weight training machines seem fine. The ladies only area is a nice touch, but the equipment is lacking. The elliptical and treadmill (there's only one of each) literally never work, there's only a handful of weight training machines and there aren't enough dumbells, kettlebells, etc. I never fully have what I need in there, but it's really uncomfortable being on the floor with other people, especially when it's crowded. Also, the showers are not cleaned enough and the sauna is not always turned on. For what it is and how much it costs, it's great. If you're not here at peak times then the machinery issues are no big deal. Now, I have three kids so this is GREAT for an affordable option with childcare. Jayda (Jada?) is absolutely amazing and I feel safe leaving my kids with her. I can't say that for every staff member. They have some members that I won't leave my infant with because I'm not convinced they can handle multiple kids and an infant. I'm a teacher, so I might have too high of standards, but I just don't feel safe with every single staff member. Also, I wish the childcare hours could be extended. It really only works for stay-at-home parents or for parents who only need care a couple of times a week. Three days out of the week there is no care in the evening and one day there is no care at all. Again, this is a great gym for those on a budget! Overall, these are minor things. First word problems, really. BUT, if you're paying for it, you should have working equipment, competent people to care for the kids and a clean space. EDIT: Just adding that the childcare continues to be cringeworthy. The other day, I walked in and there was an unknown person sitting at the front desk on their phone. They didn't look up at me when we came in, so I assume they don't work there/wasn't on duty. The girl that I did recognize as someone who works there had her headphones on and was watching a video on her iPad. She didn't notice me, either. Meanwhile, behind them, An older child was sitting in an infant carseat while another older child was swinging it around in circles. Neither adult paid any attention to it. When I picked up my child, they still were not watching the kids. This isn't the only time something like this has happened with the same staff. My kids won't be going to the childcare when these people are working.

    It's a great gym. Lots of options... weights, machines, treadmills, swimming pool, sauna, classes, and plenty more. The Graceland one can be a little crowded at times, but it's also January so resolutions are strong. Hahaha.

  • 2/5 Laura K. 1 year ago on Google
    It's "okay". Machines are coated in dust. Just doesn't seem very clean. Employees are not friendly at all (except for kids club, they are always great in there). Today I tried to go at 830 (they open at 8) and there was a crowd of people waiting to get in because no one had showed up to open the door. My membership expires in March and I may just go somewhere else. They have a good selection of weights and machines and I very rarely have issues with having to wait. There is a women only section but seems like stuff is broken in there more often.

    Speaking out additional resources outside of McConnell for those who cannot afford the state-of-the-art facility I recommend Esporta Fitness for positive reasons, perhaps too many reasons to join! I will list below. I am personally reviewing this facility as an independent offset analyst hoping to guide people with the right referral coming from any other fitness center including The McConnell Health . Membership prices at Esporta Fitness facility, although it is state-of-the-art with three swimming pools such as at McConnell. Bright side is there is alternatives. I've searched up and down and this facility has a full size pool and in my opinion the monetary value of self-care is invaluable. If you are a non-member and you are looking into gyms with pools for Aqua therapy for swimming in general to join, I recommend and strongly encourage you to swing by this facility to pick up a business card. This business card one free pass/visit for your own evaluation as I posted a picture you can see for yourself. Don't forget to pick up membership pamphlets themselves on your way out. I will post photos and I will be updating this review as I progress in my journey of physical therapy and Recovery and personal self care including General workout in exercise. Esporta fitness I get five stars it has a full size pool I will add some photos and keep you posted! If you need a referral and having Insurance problems, this is your spot if you need a pool. The assistant manager (Annemarie) is working so hard to help people maintain their physical appearance and physique including their health upon multiple other things. Annemarie is impacting so many lives and I have to give her credit. I have posted her card as she is the assistant manager. Questions?, she is who you want to call. I give this facility five stars hands down. Check out the jpg image of the promotion this facility has ongoing currently. $0.22 down oh. This is a January New Year promotion. Photo updated.

    The young lady at the front desk should spend less time hiding her phone (horrible job since we can see she is on IG) and instead interact with members.

    No AC, poor cleanliness throughout the building, LA Fitness branding still everywhere, old equipment, and no organization of dumbbells on racks. Gym etiquette is not followed here on the staff or customer sides.

    Be careful what you do at any LA Fitness. I should have learned my lesson in Chicago, but I decided to sign up here because it was close to my apartment. LA Fitness the corporation will do whatever they can to milk you of money and intentionally setup hoops for you to jump through that make it difficult to cancel in a timely manner. I signed up for six months worth of personal training. Training was fine, but wouldn’t recommend or go back myself. At the beginning of the 5th month, I found a new apartment that wasn’t close to this location and my work offered me a membership to a significantly nicer gym. I went in to cancel my last month of training and pay the early cancellation fee. The early cancellation fee is 50% of your remaining balance. Knowing what LA Fitness had done in the past, I talked to the head personal trainer and the first thing I said was “I want to cancel, I don’t care about the fee, and I don’t care about losing sessions.” She proceeded to launch into sales mode saying that she didn’t want me to lose my sessions even though over-and-over I said I simply wanted to cancel and be done with it. She said she needed to clear it with her boss (why???) and then would cancel. Knowing LA Fitness, I should have followed up. I look at my bank account one day the following month and I have a charge for the full amount of personal training. I call the corporate office to find out what happened. They cancel the training to make sure I don’t get charged again but say they can’t issue a refund until they corroborate my story with the local club. They said they’d call me back. Needless to say, that never happened. I call Graceland to find out what happened and she said “I talked to your trainer and he said you didn’t want to lose your sessions so I didn’t cancel it.” So instead of calling me to confirm this, she listened to a third party and thus I was charged the full amount. When I asked to speak to her manager, she said I couldn’t talk to him because he’s very busy and manages 10,000 trainers. Same thing when I asked for his email or phone number. She then proceeded to say she couldn’t do anything because when she pulled up my account it was showing as closed by corporate! What a racket. LA Fitness is one of the worst out there in the fitness world. Once they have your payment information they could care less about you. Oh yeah, this doesn’t mention the fact that the place was dirty in general. The vast majority did’t re-rack weights, including the trainers. There was a leak in the roof that took about 8 months to fix. I stopped using the pool because there was always some weird oily film that you could see floating on the top. As others have mentioned, no one wipes down machines. Equipment would be broken for weeks before it got fixed. Many times things would just get removed and never replaced. The basketball court was so dusty at times it was kind of dangerous to use. Overall just a terrible experience. I still have 18 personal training sessions left, but I don’t think I’ll ever use them. As I look around and watch the other trainers, LA Fitness appears to be a company that good trainers leave the second they have the opportunity. Never again.

    There seems to be an issue with this gym opening on time lately. It’s happening more now than it ever has in all of my years attending this gym. Management should be in charge of opening the gym to make sure the opening of the gym is handled properly. This is why so many have moved over to Metro Fitness. I’ve never experienced this problem at their facility. This is ridiculous.

    I’ve been a member since Esporta bought LA fitness. And there’s something about this particular location that I absolutely hate. 1.) they no longer have Wi-Fi. If you’re trying to connect to music, they will most likely not work. even if you were using your unlimited data on your phone. 2.) Employees know nothing about machines or fitness in general expect for the membership sales reps. Idk There’s just something about this building that does not sit right with Wi-Fi and when you ask an employee, they shrug their shoulders. I support it in. Their other locations has gone downhill so bad they don’t even take care of their own equipment. The only reason I am a member is because of the kids club but I’m definitely considering switching gyms!

    Recently did a personal training session with Alina. I have done a lot of personal training over the years and pursued the certification myself and I was very impressed with the style of workout she created, the knowledge she brought to the table and the overall “share not sell” approach she has. If you’re looking to hit those goals you’ve set every few months but often don’t meet your expectations then please invest in yourself and get in touch with Alina or the other trainers she endorses 👍🏻

    Gym has a lot of amenities, but seems to struggle with repairing broken equipment. Some of my friends and family used to go here and I would join them since I travel a lot and have an LA fitness/ Esporta national membership. They have since stopped using LA fitness and this gym due to constant issues with broken equipment. Yesterday I got on a rower that I am pretty certain is unstable and will hurt someone. Not confident it will be repaired after staff has been notified. It’s too bad because this gym has a ton of potential if it got a little bit of consistent maintenance.

    The women’s area is a great idea, except it’s right under a free weight area and people are FREQUENTLY dropping the weights upstairs even though there is signage. No one that works here enforces the policy. It sounds like you’re in the middle of a very bad thunder storm. I also hardly ever see anyone wipe down the machines in any area of the gym even though the towels and cleaner are everywhere.

    Very below average. - One squat rack - Inattentive workers - Broken equipment daily (stairs and machines) - Poor hours (closes at 7 on weekends??) - Water in facility broken 2 weekends in a row - Sauna never ready in morning - Maybe 4 weight clips for 6 benches - Extremely dangerous basketball court (never mopped. Covered in dust and dirt DAILY)

    It could double as a museum with the aging equipment. Very little has changed since this opened in 2008 as Urban Active. Treadmills have loose belts, ellipticals don't increase in tension, and the cable machines (like a lot of other weight AND cardio equipment) are constantly "scheduled for service." None of this is a good sign that Esporta corporate cares about this location. On the plus side, the cleaners in the morning do a good job keeping the place clean, it's easy to get in and out, and the price is decent.

    The older man working the desk, Bryan (Brian), was very rude and unhelpful while visiting from out of town with my father. After returning 50 minutes later to re-check in when I asked if I needed to give him my phone number again he rudely replied that it I want back in I do and then proceeded to tell me I need to use the app, even though they have a sign posted that you can provide phone number look up, AND I had just entered and already provided this info. After asking some members in the locker room they stated he was very unpleasant and u friendly with them as well. These members, like myself, are people of color and today I felt this gentleman’s poor behavior to be racially motivated and hurtful.

    I would say it's one of the best gym memberships I've had so far. The dance and fitness instructors are superb! Lots of fun. I love Zumba. ❤️ Most equipment is in good shape. Couple broken. Come early if you want more space and equipment. Before 5pm. They offer swimming sessions too. The social environment is good overall There is a women's section but very closed off and little air flow. After a couple of months of being there regularly, I've observed that most people are focused on their fitness and have decency. It's gotten more popular since this summer passed. Staff can be short-handed at times, but they are usually very helpful.

    I have been trying to cancel my account for 2 months and they keep on giving me the run around. They said they would take care of the cancelling of my account after my first phone call to them, since then I have called 3 more times to get my account cancelled and they still haven't. I have continued to be charged month after month and have been charged an annual fee even after I requested for my membership to be cancelled within the allotted grace period. Please stay away from this place, if you value your sanity and respect your time. It says a lot about a business when they do not prioritize their costumers, lie about what they say they will do, then give you the run around when you are simply trying to cancel an account. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH ESPORTA, I will be taking legal action.

    I wish ESPORTA wouldn’t go and close half of their Columbus locations right off the bat after taking over for L.A. Fitness. I will say, the pricing models for ESPORTA are much better than L.A. used to be. But maintenance, quality of equipment, and how crowded it gets really just depends on which gym in Columbus you attend. Grandview is the most crowded and poorest maintained by far. Graceland is pretty big and relatively low attendance most of the time. I’d recommend trying it out at Graceland first before attempting to go into the tire fire that is the Grandview location.

    Great place, except for the people who use weight machines to sit and play on their phones, couple who hold two machines while one works out, or just sit and talk for half an hour, Some of us have limited time to get a good work out done, Oh, and the guy that brings his girlfriend into the locker room with him. Great times!

    I have had a membership here for years. I asked them to switch my membership to a guest member ship so they canceled my old membership and started a new one for me. I went to use the guest membership the other day and they told me I didn’t have a guest membership. So I asked them if I could get it fixed. So the called the manager over and I told him the situation. Then he got really upset. Was acting like I did something wrong even though it was the guy who signed me up. It had been too long for them to add the guest membership unless I canceled multiple current one again. Instead of just making it right because it was their mistake. Then they told me it would be $7 extra and I would have to pay another $100 initiation fee. The manager was the rudest person I’ve ever felt with in any business. Not to mention this is the dirtiest gym I’ve been to in my life. Unless you want to get treated like garbage, and scammed I would 0/10 recommend this gym.

    Pretty Meh overall. I come here for the racquetball court but unfortunately they don't seem to care too much about it. They got rid of the benches that were outside the court which were extremely useful (if not necessary), and now there is exercise equipment in the way. They also don't clean the floor enough so it can get very slippery, which is very dangerous since you need to plant your feet often.

    Never try to go to this gym its scam If you add a guest to your membership and after a time you want to remove that guest from your membership they will be not able to remove the guest they will tell you to cancel your membership and sign up again when you cancel your membership there will be a $27 cancelation fee and when you want to sign up again you need to pay again annual fee which is around $60. I wanted to sign up again but when I see they charged me $27 for the cancelation fee I will never try to sign up again.

    LA fitness is a nice gym with a decent amount of machines. I just wish they stayed open a little later..only 8 on weekdays and 5 on Saturday and Sunday (which is a way too early to close in my opinion.) But I like how close it is and the facility is good.

They let me workout and advised after that I speak w Bronson(manager) to get everything fixed. Had a great workout, and then Bronson quickly had the issues sorted and had me set up w a proper membership. Free weights, tons of machines, cardio equipment, basketball court, racquet ball, pool, showers and a sauna. All for $24.99/month.

    Always clean and nice! Set up well too! My only complaint is that the body scale they have is difficult to get an exact/easy to read number on. I like to see exact numbers, but this is an old school dr's office scale and the reading it gives you seems rather ambiguous. Maybe I should ask them to teach my how to know for sure where the little pin is pointing once it is balanced. Upgrading to a digital scale would be nice too.

    Honestly kinda gross sometimes, but it is very affordable. I just get the vibe they're gonna bleed as much money as they can out of this place and Grandview before they ultimately go out of business or sell it to another bargain basement fitness company. The locker room can be disgusting, I try to keep my time there to a minimum. I almost never see people wiping down machines either. It's a gym, it is what it is. Their equipment is mostly still pretty nice, the people that come to this gym are the worst though. If I have to sit in the sauna one more time while some roided out weight lifter guy wicks his sweat on the heater I'm gonna lose it. Outside of a depraved few, most of us don't wanna schvitz in your salty essence.

    Used guest past there for a few weeks. Tried to get membership and was told I needed 75 dollars down to join. I thought the price was way to high and I even have a discount through my job that the sales person didn't acknowledge or know about. Kind of on the snobby side I'll pass.

    Functional equipment. Half court basketball. As many have said. La is usually in no rush to spend money repairing treadmills or re investing money back into its gyms. Overall a good value if you pay yearly and get the $200 lifetime renewal.

    Unfortunately google map doesn't let me to upload videos. Just have a conversation with the GM here , it's been almost a year that you only thirds of treadmills here working and after pandemic it got worse. Only 7 of em are in use and just 2 of em have phone stands. He said: i can't tell the company truck what to do but I'll put on our list . The same thing he'd told me before pandemic and also 2 weeks ago. How come in a year couldn't you tell their tech to put phone stands from the treadmills out of use or service on the ones in service for almost a year ?????? during pandemic didn't cancel my membership even for the 4 months wasn't coming gym. The management in this location is awful. don't give a f...k about costumers. everything gets broken takes decade to get fixed . HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION.

    LA Fitness Graceland totally hooked me up for Arnold Week! Their staff was awesome and easy to work with, and the facility has everything I need to get my last few workouts in before the competition. Thank you SO MUCH, guys!! I’ve had some bad experiences at LA fitness in other states, but this Columbus location at Graceland has been 10/10.

    Good vibe and not too packed which is great especially for social distancing. Some machines are a little dated but there are enough to go around

    I’m gonna be for real. I love this gym but I’m torn I’m a transgender man I haven’t been able to afford top surgery yet since it’s 10k and I’m broke!!!! I have always used the mens restroom/locker rooms and initially had no issue with this one ether until someone was being transphobic and my brother called them out. The employees where wonderful but there higher ups said I can’t work out there unless I use the female locker room because I haven’t had the surgery. I know this isn’t completely in there control but it partially is when I went to planet fitness they understood I was trans and everyone at the gym did as well and kept there distance, I wanted to go to a more intense / more optional gym but not sure if I’ll keep my membership after hearing this.

    This gym is very good. I used to go to call fit 10 which was ok but this gym is cleaner and a little bigger. They have a indoor track and a swimming pool with a separate cycle class room. They have a small room so people can work out without people looking which is good for women because they tend to get started at according to my wife. Cons for me is only 2 squat racks and it seems like it's harder to access these items but it's worth it for more equipment and cleaner environment.

    I joined LA Fitness 8 years ago when I moved here from California. It helped me through some tough times being homesick and away from my family. I went to a variety of clubs and classes, even bought my boys gym memberships. After my marriage failed I started teaching classes at 4 clubs. I really love it here. The instructors and classes are top notch and the staff really cares about the members and cleanliness. I’ve had memberships elsewhere. But you can’t beat it here with the running track, variety of classes and equipment, pools, sauna, locker rooms and awesome training staff. I want to thank LA Fitness for getting me through the toughest 8 years of my life, becoming my family and my employer. I really love this place so much :-)

    Clean. Safe and well priced. The changing room for women is meticulous the showers and sink areas clean. There's a sauna, and pool... both; you guessed it, clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. I enjoy my work outs there.

    I’ve been a member for 1.5 years. It’s frustrating coming in to a workout when a cardio machine looks like it functions but no matter how many buttons you click they don’t work, when machines constantly have signs posted with “scheduled for maintenance” for weeks at a time and staff don’t hear you when you have a concern or make you feel what you have to say is invalid. The women’s room is extremely hot at all times of the year and has no air flow. When women go to crack the door open slightly to allow for airflow (while allowing privacy) the door is immediately closed by a staff member. That room is also very under equipped. It should have all the equipment since it is supposed to make women feel comfortable instead of having women members go drag equipment in and out of it. As a business owner myself, I would be ashamed of the condition of the equipment of this gym since this is what a majority members are paying to come here for. They need to invest in updating machines and having a staff member who is timely at maintaining the machines/equipment.

    Join if you just want a place to work out and do not care about the staff's indifference to members - it's not a friendly place. On the plus side, Frank and Louis keep the place the cleanest it has been in a long time.

    I FAILED TO SEE THIS WHEN THEY GAVE ME A TOUR. I would stay away from this gym. Machines are very old. Some from the 90s and they never buy anything new. So machines are in constant "maintenance". Some are just made from pieces of metal welded together like a do it at home project. And trust me they will never update their machines they just will gather your, and mine, money.

    Professional, clean and friendly! Equipment is well-maintained with nice variety and the indoor track and class studios are spacious. Loved my workout🙂

👍👍 Great place to park and workout if you are a TRUCK DRIVER. As long as you are out of the way and not blocking people getting in and out, etc they have always let me park here. In return, I always keep an eye on their property after hours FOR FREE whenever I’m here to make sure nobody messes with it....

😐 Gym is nice enough but safety is getting to be a real issue. There are lots of issues with equipment being broken for months on end, fights that start on the basketball court spill out to the gym floor and now there has been a shootout in the parking lot because they ignore the problem. Several...
