LA Fitness, Aldgate, London

Advantages: Erm, still thinking...
Disadvantages: Too many to list!

...local work area and thought LA Fitness was suitable as it was a few minutes walk from my office and of decent size plus it wasn't full of muscle-bound, sweaty grunting weightlifters (OK if you go for that kind of thing I suppose!). You have two payment options per month - these vary from gym - but I paid an extra £5 a month for a free towel as it frees up gym bag space. There are lots of those join now and get blah blah type promos going on all the ...
...and on the 28th Feb, LA Fitness took £39.95 from my account. "That's odd" I thought, "My membership ended 11th Feb - I'll call them as they must have made an error".

Advantages: Its a gym and its central
Disadvantages: Evil management. Avoid LA Fitness

I joined LA Fitness at the Waldorf, coz it was close to work. It wasnt perfect, a bit shabby but thats Ok. Whats really angered me is the way Ive been treated since I tried to leave the gym.

I tried to eamil admin and got no response. I tried to call 'admin' ...
