LA Fitness-apalooza

Post by Fuzzylilley »

Hey fellow Sydenham-ites

I will be joining the LA fitness in Sydenham this weekend and was just wondering who went there ? My partner and i will both be joining but it would be nice to have other people to go with and brave the slightly shabby feel of the place. Im a bit of a fat git so i would be looking for people who arent mega fit or taking part in next years Gladiators.

Reply to the thread or send me a message if you fancy chatting or brainstorming for reason to not go to the gym hehe

Thanks

J :D

... edit - sorry wrong gym referred to.

My experience re LA Fitness's cleanliness of their pool particularly wasn't ace. Might be better now though.

Dont really know what the other gyms are like but if you search the forum there are loads of threads. This thread is just about the LA Fitness and who fancies joining.

I am a member of LA Fitness and have been since last November. As mentioned it isn't particularly clean but as I only live 5 minutes away I tend to shower at home (I use the walk as a warm down). The staff are very friendly and I haven't had any problems waiting for the machines except in the first 2 weeks of January when everyone decides to start excersing.

Saying that I haven't been for 4 months due to extreme lazyness and a love of lunchtime drinking, am building up to resuming my regime in September (probably).

What sort of fees do they charge at LA Fitness - and anyone know what the opening hours are? Of course, I could walk through the door to find out but don't want to sign my life away whilst under pressure! :?

I didn't realise they had a pool in there? Is there a steam room or sauna as well?

I think it's something like £35 per month and opening times and class details are on the website http://www.lafitness.co.uk/membership/f ... e=Sydenham

It's actually 46 a month for a 3 month contract and 40 a month for a year's contract. 34£ a month for a year's contract if you're a student.

Don't know about corporate discounts as my company doesn't have that :(

I never understood gyms....

why pay a small fortune when you can go running and do press ups/sit ups for free?

You don't get chased by dogs in the gym :D
