LA Fitness

LA Fitness Cottman Ave- I was visiting from Australia and wanted to find a local gym. The first gym I tried had very unhelpful and inexperienced staff. Just across the road, I was immediately greeted by Mel when I walked into the LA Fitness gym. The Manager, Morgan, and the sales team were able to provide me with a temp membership for my entire stay in NE Philly. The facility was exceptionally clean and there is a ton of equipment for all levels of fitness. I highly recommend this gym and will be back again soon. Thanks again LA Fitness team. Look me up if you are ever Down Under.

This location is smaller than I expected, but it's genuinely one of the nicer locations that I've been to. So far, I'm content with what I've seen and experienced for a chain gym like this and don't mind continuing to pay $30/mo for my membership. Went here for the first time this past weekend because my previous location near my workplace (Esporta in Cherry Hill, NJ) permanently closed, but they gave the members there nationwide access to all locations. This one is only about 5 miles away from where I currently live and not too out of the way on my commute back home from work.

I decided to change gyms when my favorite instructor left Crunch and I decided to follow her. Bea is the best instructor and will challenge everyone! Thanks Bea for your motivation! When I signed up, Ravi was great and explained all the memberships that were available. Thanks for making the process so easy and I am happy to be part of La fitness!

Ravi, the GM is great - friendly, explained everything in detail, and seems to enjoy his role which makes a big difference. The facility is clean, has all the equipment I can ask for. As for the front desk person (wears glasses), not very friendly, seemed to be bothered about having to be there s for the front desk person (wears glasses), seemed to be bothered about having to be there or maybe she was just bothered with me OR maybe she has a lot going on.. who knows!

The sauna room has been closed until further notice for at least two years, which is very disappointing. There hasn’t been any clear communication from management about when it might reopen, leaving members in the dark. Considering the sauna is one of the main amenities advertised, it feels like the membership fees don’t reflect the reduced offerings. That said, the gym equipment is well-maintained, the staff is friendly, and the locker rooms are clean. However, it would be great if management could provide a timeline for the sauna repairs or offer alternative amenities to make up for its prolonged closure.
