LA Fitness is a good value for how much you pay. They have all the equipment I need from a gym, and it's maintained just fine. The classes they have are great. Try and avoid going at peak times and you won't have to wait to use things.
My complaint is this: sometimes I go there towards the end of the night. There's one young woman who works closing shifts often, and she's nice all the time, *except* near closing, when she treats everyone like they're misbehaving children. She yells stuff like, "Come on guys, get out of the shower, you've got to leave!" starting 20 minutes before closing. It's the tone of voice that's disrespectful -- it sounds like a bouncer kicking drunks out of a bar. But the gym won't be closing for another 20 minutes. And she'll walk through the mens locker room multiple times to shout at everybody while they're putting on clothes.
It's not abusive or anything really bad... but it's just a disrespectful way to talk to people. Also, one time I went there about 35 minutes before closing time, just for a quick shower before heading out, and she'd locked the front doors already, obviously trying to deter people from coming into the gym. I did get let in, but it made me feel like I was unwelcome.
So to summarize: good gym, but you'll get shouted at while you're trying to put on your underwear if you're there anytime near closing.
