    I hope to be clear and not to create bad vibes in this comment. At the end it's just my opinion based on facts. I've been back for almost two years since the explosion, it's a nice gym with new cardio/workout machines and a nice space to do your stretching workouts. But on my POV: Important observation is the cleanliness, I think that there aren’t enough janitors to clean the cardio and bicycle area extremely well. I know that each one cleans before using it, but in overall it’s totally dirty and unsightly. But nobody complains and this shouldn’t happens anymore and cannot continue like this. I have never attended a gym so dirty. Please CLEAN the gym!! :) Another detail is that the trainers chase you to make a payment commitment to be trained. The truth is that they do not fulfill the promise of helping you improve your aesthetic shape and they’re more focused on finishing the session soon.The girl who trains no comments at all. Improve more costumer service and with the best smile that fills the customer's soul this makes a big difference in the day to day for everyone! 😉

    This gym has always been my favorite. Recently, a local LA Fitness closed and it seems like its whole membership relocated to this location (Plantation) such that is always crowded as if it were 6:00 PM weekday all day /every day. On the regular, I was spending more time waiting than working out. Even the prevailing attitude of the place has taken a huge nosedive. I've known so many of the members all the way back to when this location was in Davie. It was great. But it became a place I put up with in order to get a work out. So, I still have my membership but joined another gym.

    I love this gym ever since I started here!! The staff is ver welcoming and personable, never one ever had a bad experience and it feels like him. A special shout-out to the 3 people who run this operation. Jamal , Marissa , Carol…!! Ever since the explosion you guys have brought this gym up and on top swarming with friendly new faces everyday. It’s a pleasure to say that I am a La Fitness Member!

    This gym has everything you need including a basketball court, sauna and pool. Nevertheless it is always so crowded which can make it hard to use the equipment that you want to use.

    The gym overall is good…. But for personal training , I would give minus 5. Most of the trainers are teenagers without any formal preparation to train. Not just because you can do squats or lounges you should be training someone else. Sessions are for 25-50 minutes, and half of the time they get distracted talking with their friends. I was told I could try different trainers until I find someone I like. I scheduled with one of “master” trainers and he was upset because at the time I scheduled, he trains his “VIP clients” ( he literally said that)… if there’s a vip list or if that’s the case , he should not be available on the list. He was upset the whole session and the experience was super uncomfortable. Because of that, I stopped scheduling ( have approximately 60 personal training sessions accumulated) and when I called to cancel they said that I needed to wait 1year to be able to cancel ( that was not explained to me at the time of enrollment)… I signed and I honored the “contract “ , so Continued paying … but now when the year is up and I try to cancel , the only person that can help me is always busy, on vacation or unavailable. Left my information several times and 10 days later, still no answer. The personal training thing is a scam.

    Long post…..So I made it to the gym ready to work! Unfortunately, I locked my keys in the car along with my phone. I went to the front desk and informed Arlene of my problem. Arlene, with empathy, allowed me to use her phone to call progressive (lock smith). I left them with the fitness number since my phone was locked in the car. They would call when they arrive on property. I then went and worked out and about 20 minutes later, Arlene finds me working out and tells me that they are on the phone for me. So I was able to get my keys and was still able to finish my workout in time. Big Shoutout to Arlene for exceeding my expectations and delivering “white glove” service to me. It made my problem seem more like a blessing. Thanks again Arlene. You deserve a raise! 😊 Luvens

    Good free weights and plenty of equipment. It has so much promise. It’s just sad to see how management and employees have NO pride or respect for this place. Walked in at opening on a Saturday morning and there were plates, dumbbells, water bottles and garbage everywhere. Clearly not a single team member thought about cleaning up after closing on Friday. How is management OK letting an otherwise nice gym be a disorganized POS? Yes, this also reflects on certain members. Some people know how to put weights back and throw away garbage. Some even wipe their nasty sweat off the machines. Typical 101 gym etiquette. But too many are self-absorbed slobs who care less about anyone else. Management taking a careless approach to a clean and organized gym just encourages members to be even less thoughtful and courteous. Downward spiral. This gym has promise, but the way it’s currently run, it’s just going to get worse.

    I was very excited to start a new lifestyle. I walked into my nearest LA fitness to join and was completely disappointed when I realized that the salesmen had lied to me. I expressed that I wanted a buddy pass, which I wasn’t given. I later found out that it would be an additional $20 monthly, even though I was already paying $55 a month. I was being charged an extra fee for the kids club that I was told was included. I was told I would pay a $50 initiation fee but I was charged $118.30 and then two more $20 charges, totaling $158.30. The worst part is, the nearest LA is a 15 minutes drive and I have a gym only 3 minutes away from my home for less than half the price, buddy pass included. What a waste of time and energy. I will never deal with this company again. Also that Hispanic male manger argued with me when I called to cancel. Completely unprofessional. I will be calling cooperate.

    Definitely one of the nicer gyms in Broward. Clean and positive energy in the atmosphere. Enough equipment to get the job done. More of a younger/college student crowed due to its location. At lot of places nearby to get clean food after your workout. Overall enjoy😉

    Hi I wanted to take a minute to thanks the staff at LA Fitness!!! First I want to say a few things about Tony…. He is a very professional individual and also very friendly… Every time I come in to the gym I get greeted with a happy and positive person…. He always makes my day…. Also a big shout out to the person who signed me up!!! Her name is Marissa…. She is also very friendly and professional…. She was also very knowledgeable about the Company itself…. Marissa and Tony are the best and I would recommend this club to everyone in need of fitness…

    One of my least favourite gyms that I have been to. Negatives: - Limited machines so expect to be waiting to use a machine or weights. 3 Squat racks and only 1 seated row in a gym with a cafe - Busy gym - Areas of the gym smell. The stretching mat below the stairs stinks. - Weights are just left wherever and the dumbells arent returned to their original spot so you have to walk along and search for the weight you want in the mess. Pros - It does have a squash court, pool and classes - I did not use these at all. - Seems to be plenty of cardio machines on the upper floor.

    I had a great experience at this location. I went this morning as usual. Terry is an amazing personal trainer and always pushes me past my limit. I am grateful for him. This gym is always well kept and clean. I recommend signing up with Terry if you want to reach your goals in a reasonable amount of time.

  • 5/5 JuWood 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed my experience at this planet so much!! I’m not usually a gym person but I loved this gym. The facilities at La Fitness are state-of-the-art, with modern equipment and plenty of space for workouts. The gym is always clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable environment to exercise in. The staff is also very friendly and approachable, always willing to help with any questions or concerns. The manger at this la fitness named jamal is great and very helpful. Probably one of the coolest guys I met.

  • 5/5 Bhavi D. 11 months ago on Google
    Terry at LA Fitness is amazing! He makes workouts enjoyable while pushing you to your limits. He is an excellent trainer who truly cares about his clients well-being and success. Highly recommend!

  • 3/5 Jenny N. 11 months ago on Google
    I've been going here for a year now and I think it's an alright gym to go to. It's spacious and the equipments are well organized. I would continue to go here if they invested more in the cleanliness of the facility and upgraded their machines. Their stuff is old and rusty, some with a lot of dust build up. The restrooms are grimey and reek body odor, I don't know if they actually clean them or just go around with one wipe down. At this point, paying almost $40 a month isn't worth it if there are no improvements being made. I've tried out other fitness centers in the same area and their membership prices are cheaper and reasonable for more benefits, newer equipments, and highly sanitized workout environment than this place.

    This gym is so friendly! I love this facility. Tony Alexandre is a great personal trainer! Vladimir Alexandre is great too!

  • 5/5 Luis A. 5 months ago on Google
    I love LA Fitness, it has everything I need to get my workout done. It looks clean and it is usually not that crowded, of course peak hours are. But still, plenty machines, plenty space, clean. Just amazing.

  • 2/5 Yoav M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a solid gym, clean, and the patrons actually have decent gym etiquette. Like most gyms, there's a chronic shortage of dumbbells under 20lbs I must mention I got yelled at for accidentally not closing the sauna door (thought it would swing closed by itself) by one of the staff - won't name names. That was wholly unnecessary and the reason for my negative review

  • 5/5 Bogdan V. 6 months ago on Google
    Very nice/clean. I saw a lot of people working out in couples. That’s awesome.

  • 3/5 Jessica B. 8 months ago on Google
    I had the WORST EXPERIENCE today at the kids club. I was literally BROUGHT TO TEARS twice. My child was experiencing bullying (specifically another child said that they would hit and kick her). My daughter informed the child care attendant ( Ms. Cheryl B. ) who told her that she needs to "ignore it because it (the bullying amongst children) will not stop". My daughter decided to separate herself from this child but she was reprimanded. Ms. Cheryl advised my child that she has to " learn to stop complaining and play nicely with others". Upon picking my daughter up she informed that she felt like she was the problem because she told the "teacher" that a child threatened to hit her. I asked Ms. Cheryl to try to respect when my daughter needs to take a break (separate herself) from negative situations but she replied stating the the problem is that I'm home schooling my child and that the children should handle their own disputes. At that point I asked for a supervisor. I spoke with Paul and Eric who was kind and understanding (along with most of the staff who over heard what I endured) I am waiting for a call from the Operations Manager, Carol. LASTLY I would like to say that I normally have an amazing time at this location and I pray that this issue will be taken seriously and properly addressed.

    Greetings, my name is Jessica Sarmiento and I had a membership, I use to go to the plantation location, however on Monday, October 2nd I went to workout and an other member was using 3-4 machines at the same time, this person left a bottle next to one of the machines, I didn’t see anyone using it so I proceeded to use it when a man came up to me saying he was using it and walked away to use an other machine, I told him sir you are not using it, he became very aggressive, at this pint he was yelling and I said are you going to hit me, to which he answered yes! I was blown away, coos were called, they said it was up to la fitness to take action, la receptionist said that member has been there for years and there’s nothing they can do! this being said I did NOT FEEL SAFE and had to cancel. I hope that in the future women can workout in a safe atmosphere without any aggression condoned by LA Fitness

  • 5/5 gerald s. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite la fitness since its been rebuilt. Its always clean, you can find "1/2" weights and it has an open floor plan to allow you to personally trained outside of the free weight and cardio section.

  • 5/5 Marco A. 2 years ago on Google
    This has been the best La Fitness I have been to in my years of being a member. They did an amazing job renovating it after being shut down for a couple years. The atmosphere and how they implemented the cross fit field brings a whole new experience to my work outs. The staff and management are very friendly and courteous towards everyone. The place is always organized and clean. They really care how everything operates. It’s awesome how I live down the street from it, and I’m proud to be a member of this facility.

  • 5/5 Alexander S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic gym! Very clean, organized, and has by far the best instructors. Great for people who are into lifting for many years and for people just looking to start working out. Many machines are available and there is no wait time. Best gym in the area!

  • 3/5 Sammy R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good location! I wish they could improve the cleaning service in the women's restroom, the sauna room has a terrible and disgusting smell. I recommend supervisors to walk through all areas and make sure everything is cleaned above all.

  • 5/5 Carina A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym. People are super friendly. Clean. Professional. Love to go any time of the day. Never an issue with availability. Yoga classes are the best! Very Clean!!!

  • 1/5 Natasha S. 1 year ago on Google
    This gym is always dirty. The weights are always on the floor from the previous night ( I go at opening 5am). None of the equipment ever looks wiped down and the free weights are either not racked or in the wrong place. There are also never any spray bottles in their designated places. The reopening was perfect since then not so much so. It has very little up keeping.

  • 5/5 AutomotiveChris 2 years ago on Google
    Place is amazing and I love the environment I’m in. People always help me out and the LA fitness workers as well! Landon boggus has been helping me a lot and he’s a very friendly and patient worker. Overall the place is amazing and definitely recommend coming here!!

  • 5/5 Ana E. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great gym. I was given the best customer service by Myles, and a friendly service by Jordan. Such great hospitality by these two young men! I hope everyone chooses to come see them when inquiring about a membership

  • 5/5 Sebastian G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great people work here and probably one of the cleanest gyms I’ve ever been to. I started coming here a few months ago and I have to say the staff is great, especially Jordan. He cares about the members and is very helpful around the gym.

    Love this place. Staff is always super friendly and attentive. Arlene at the front desk is always happy to see you and very helpful. My favorite LA location 🖤

  • 1/5 APEX16 2 years ago on Google
    Equipment is great, staff are great. Facility is absolutely too small. Ridiculously so. A workout that would normally take an hour takes about 2 because there just isn't enough equipment. The place is constantly packed. You spend more than half your time there waiting on equipment.
