LA fitness Birmingham

Advantages: Cheaper than others.
Disadvantages: 2 floors below ground, poor condition and cleanliness

...try different gym around birmingham. LA fitness Birmingham is the worst gym I have even been. The outside of the gym give you an impression that it is very very small. However, the gym is actually 2 floors below ground and has a nice reception area. I have transferred my gym member from Milton keynes to Birmingham due to work. Having just transferred on a Friday, the gym was closed for 3 days the following week due to flooding. I used the gym on ...
...and cleanliness of the gym. The changing room was very small with little bench space for 3 people to change at the same time. The whole changing room had a strong smell of urine drifting from the toilet area and there were litter all over the floor. Considering the gym is two floors below ground, the air conditioning was absolutely appalling. The gym area feels like an oven let alone whilst doing cardio work. Some dumbbells had their gripping handles ...

La Fitness in Sutton Coldfield - Don't Bother!

Advantages: Location, low price, although quality reflects this
Disadvantages: Poor state of repair, over crowded, bad service, poor value for money.

I joined La Fitness - Sutton Coldfield just under a year ago and I am counting the days until it ends. I thought this gym would be a good choice as it was close to the train station where I get off and would encourage me to go more frequently. There is a Bannatyne at New Oscott but I couldn't face the traffic on the Chester Road. I secured a corporate deal by introducing our company to LA Fitness. As I forgot my card on the day I actually went to ...
...I would be able to use any gym for the same price. This would've helped me as I could've used the branch in town as I work nearby. When I joined I noticed that there was often equipment that wasn't working and was left for a fairly long time before it was fixed. The air conditioning is only on now and then and the swimming pool's heating frequently doesn't work - I have actually been in outside pools that are warmer than theirs. Now there is no ...

The facilities include: -Squash -Tennis -Badminton -swimming, both indoor and outdoor -steam room -sauna -spa pool -little kids pool -large gym The Gym includes a lot of machines, both weights and cardiovascular, I have yet to see them all in use at the same time, so you don't have to wait! The Gym has: -tredmills -steper things -bikes ...
...and use it in other david lloyd clubs, we did try this once, but we were told we would have to pay... I think they have changed how it works now, but still wasn't very impressed with that. Apart from all the bad points, i seriously reccomend joining! Really good fun. The club also puts on functions for bonfire night, etc.... ...

Holmes from home?

Advantages: Huge number of machines, lovely pool, nice changing rooms
Disadvantages: Pricier than other gyms, no automatic weights machines, close to fast food outlets!

...it prefers to be known), Holmes Place Star City gets reasonably close. I joined Holmes Place five months ago after having been a member of a Birmingham city centre gym for two and a half years. (Before then, I was a certified couch potato) I chose Holmes Place Star City as it's close to my new job and I was impressed by the facilities it offers during my initial visit there. So here's the lowdown... **Location** Holmes Place is bang in the middle ...
...also buy an assortment of Holmes Place merchandise including gym kit you may have left at home, as well as tokens for the sunbeds which are located in the changing rooms. **The gym bit** The gym is very much open plan and is set out on two storeys. The mixed gym and weights areas are spread out amongst the two floors. Upstairs, there is a ladies-only room. There are banks and banks of machines (too many to count) - you'll find all the usual equipment. ...
