So at last our La Fitness Opens up! About time. So I finish my workout, it's about 7:50 PM on a Saturday. I'm having a quick shower, anticipating my long session in the Sauna as I always do when I hear shouting in the locker area.....something like "lets go lets go!!" I just thought it was some dudes joking around but I stick my head out of the shower to see, this guy a club employee walking like he's on a mission into the shower area and looks at me and says to me (like I signed up for a boot camp) "these lights will shut off in 5 seconds! the club closes at eight! everyone out! " and as he's leaving the shower area back into the locker area I still hear him spouting off "lets go lets go everyone out!"
Ok, first off. I did not know that the club closed at eight (which I might add is a bit early for a Saturday....maybe its just me) and I don't think anyone else did and I admit THAT IS MY FAULT. I'm cool with admitting that, but why the hell would I pay $40 a month to have some dude kick me out of the shower like I'm in a concentration camp. I let the dude know just how I felt when I seen him as I walked out of my overpriced top of the line luxury fitness facility dripping wet because I didn't have the time to dry off.

The real problem is that the only thing the staff is worried about is selling more memberships. The place is so crowded and already many of the machines are broken and worn to the point where they are uncomfortable to use. Beyond that the lockers are just plain dirty and it doesn't seem anyone cares.
My mistake was assuming this place would be any different than what the Ballys was before it which is a running joke in the area. I had hoped that this would be different and ignored many of my friends who tried it once and said "never again". For anyone who is thinking about joining just know you get what you pay for. So by initially saving a few dollars I have been avoiding going to the gym and get frustrated almost every time I go there because of all the shortcomings. Rather spend an extra $30-$50 month and actually get back to enjoy going to the gym.
