In this large facility, you will have access to things most other gyms do not have. For example, LA Fitness and the UFC Gym are the only ones in the area that have a sauna. Here you get racquetball, basketball, free weights, cable machines, a host of other machines, as well as cardio equipment, spin classes, Zumba, a pool, and a heated tub. LA Fitness has personal trainers, but I don't know if they are any good. I've only had one approach me in the 2 years I have been going there, which I declined since I already have a workout regiment. There are also vending machines and a juice bar if you buy into that sort of thing.
These are all great aspects of a gym, however it is also important to have clean facilities and maintenance at the gym. The best thing LA Fitness could do, is get rid of the members that are ruining the gym. The men's locker room smells horrible and the locker doors are often broken or completely missing. While I know this is caused by some of the clients that go there, it affects the rest of the clients who want to have a decent locker room. Since security cameras are illegal in a locker room, a sign or two stating that defacing or intentionally breaking things will result in a ban from the gym, might improve the environment. Having staff walk through different areas could also serve as a deterrent.
There are some people who go there that are not hygienic, not considerate, and definitely ruin the place. I've seen one guy use the complimentary blow dryers to dry his socks. Other people place their sweaty shorts or underwear on the wooden enclosure for the heating source in the sauna. Some decide to spray Eucalyptus and menthol in the sauna, which makes the air disgusting to breathe.
The bathrooms and showers should be avoided. Whoever is ruining them should be given the option of either being banned from the gym with a monetary fine, or they spend a few hours cleaning up the biohazard they helped create.
