This La fitness is situated right in the heart of the city centre so for people who work right in the middle of Birmingham the location is ideal.
The outside facade is a little misleading about the size of the gym. On the outside it looks like there is only space for a small news stall but as you go down to the lower level, past the nail bar at the entrance, it is surprising how large it is underground. It has plenty of Treadmills, Bikes and Rowers. Although for me personally I would prefer more weight benches for using the free weights. But if a cardio workout is what your mainly after then this gym is perfect. Especially with all the spinning and body combat classes. As well as the new breakdancing class. Its also quite cheap compared to the other big names in health clubs and fitness centres.
But there are a few niggling problems with the gym that stop it from being a great gym.
The staff keep changing regularly giving you no sense of who they are and wondering how long they are going to be there. But maybe a high staff turnover is part of the fitness industry I don't know. As I said before there not enough benches around the free weights but this is only at the very busiest of times which is after work around 6 pm. Because of the limited space downstairs the changing rooms are cramped. And also for the past 6 months there have been plumbing problems or something of the like because the showers aren't as hot as some people would like them.
Saying all that, overal, its a very good value for money for a gym right in the middle of birmingham. And even better value for a student with their special cut price membership for you.
