LA Fitness

For context, this gym was opened about 15 years ago and it has aged quicker than expected. This the closest "Signature" location to me, and does not live up to its designation. The location is great, as it is in the heart of Brickell, with ease of parking at a discounted price, and with great hours. However, the gym looks run down and depressing (compared to its non-signature partners, the weight racks need to be increased as this is a high traffic location (it only has 3 weight racks), and the front desk staff is not too friendly. I will say the gym is kept clean, the equipment is free of dust and some of the machines are great. I think a little TLC would bring this up to its "Signature" batch and I would say they do have plenty of roo to add weight racks around their turf area. Looking forward to an improved experience soon!

I’ve had the opportunity to visit Le Fitness gym twice before, and today I came to the Brickell location. I received the best service of my life in every way. The manager’s name is RODER. He was friendly, polite, and explained everything to me so clearly. I’m truly impressed with his customer service. I believe more people should have the same passion and love for their profession that I felt he has. I want to officially express my satisfaction with the service I received. He took the time to show me the entire gym with patience and professionalism, explained everything in detail, and even gave me information about my body fat percentage and how to lose it. I’m honestly leaving here delighted with the service he provided. I just wanted to make sure this was properly recognized. THANK YOU SO MICH RODER ,you are the best

LA Fitness Brickell is very poorly managed. As a member of two years, I've observed a lack of rules and enforcement. Notably, staff allow patrons to play loud music on speakerphones and engage in loud phone conversations, often using equipment as a seating area. I've reported instances of people using profanity loudly on phones in the workout area, only to be ignored or dismissed by management. Equipment maintenance is also subpar - the Stairmaster in the attached photo has been out of commission for 7 weeks without repair. They finally unplugged it and put a sign on it when the exposed broken electrical switch gave me a shock. If you're looking for a lackluster, this LA Fitness is your spot. Also, be prepared for managers who may not speak English - Spanish is the primary language.

I checked the holiday hours and noticed they are open until 5:00pm. Get here and the guy at the counter says “We close in 30 some minutes so….” I said I know and he makes a face like he’s bothered. Miami LA Fitness are something else….

Alright cousins, Doc checked out LA Fitness Brickell. I’ll always start with something positive. If you’re committed to working out, you already know that you can make that happen just about anywhere. Specific to this location, the basics are present and functional. That said, for a gym carrying “Signature” energy and pricing, the space feels a whole lotta bit behind for “signature” status. A few unsolicited but gym cultured observations. The carpet could probably be retired, it’s giving early 2000s and it smells. Additional wipe down stations would be appreciated, mostly for peace of mind because I would prefer not to play a guessing game with surface germs like herpes simplex 1, 2, 3. Equipment etiquette among members is inconsistent, which is fine if that’s the culture, but that usually means staff should help bridge the gap by re racking and resetting more often. Bathrooms were stable overall, though one stall had clearly seen some things (smearing). Also, adding more clips for the old school, unbalanced bench setups would be a smart safety move so plates don’t slide off mid rep. Parking is not the most convenient, but that comes with inner city gym territory, so no major shock there. In fairness, this could have just been an off stretch, even though I’ve been several days now. Overall, it’s a workout space with good bones, just not quite a “Signature” experience. Advice for new visitors. Bring your own wipes, manage expectations, and know that while it may not wow you, the workout will still get done. Doc
