Wonderful gym. Almost always clean. All of the staff are sweet except for the manager. I love this gym other than a misunderstanding that I had about my renewal rate. Thankfully the sales rep who I signed up with had my back.
Long story short, I was promised a discounted renewal rate with and also without a guest privilege option. My membership agreement was drafted poorly and therefore did not reflect this rate in a straight forward way. I understand why the manager would assume the rate based on the agreement but he did not handled the entire situation well at all. Unfortunately the manager, Herman, whom many bad reviews speak about, was rude, unaccommodating, and acting as if I was not worth his time. He gave me attitude over the phone and when I made time to come in on my lunch break thirty minutes later, he gave me the impression of lack of compassion or grace. Such a shame. It is too bad that he is the face of this wonderful gym because Herman gives it a bad name. I still am on the fence with renewing here because he has left such a bad taste in my mouth.
Shout out to Allison, the sales rep who gave me a wonderful rate and kept her word. She called me back and handled the situation professionally and did not speak with attitude like Herman did. She explained the mistake and took credit for it when it very well could have been someone else's mistake. She answered all of my questions with graciousness and came to a resolution. What I really admired about her was that she remembered my exact situation from a year ago. That is real customer service. LA Fitness is still in, Allison is in, as for Herman, he has got to go.
Note to anyone who has gotten this far, take it from me, read your agreement carefully and ask every question. Take the agreement home and come back to sign it. Where is states: Services and there is a check mark for guest privileges, make sure the amount says $240 and not $20. Even if you know it means $20 times 12 months ($240). If I was a passive person and not did stand up for myself, I would have paid a ridiculous rate.
