LA Corporate needs to think of their customers and serve them by offering Aqua Fit classes . Excuse is they can't find instructors . As a very sizable organization they should have a couple times a year Aqua Fit Training classes to create jobs for Aqua Fit.
Especially those folks that can't do land exercise do to physical issues and Aqua fit for many are the only exercise their Doctors recommend.
It's a shame to have a big pool for occasional lap swimmers .

Staff is friendly. However, they are lacking equipment variety compared to other esporta locations. Much of the equipment they do have seems really old and is often broken. And it’s very cramped. Looks like they squeezed in a pool that’s rarely used and took away space for the workout equipment that’s more frequently used.

I will never do business with this company again. My credit card expired and I let them know I was moving so they could go ahead and cancel my membership. I was told I had to go into the store. I explained that I had Covid 19 and did not think that would be wise. They ended up charging me anyway and the next call I was told you can cancel online, I asked why I was not given that option and was told that different stores will try to collect even if they are out of state and do not know how things work in different state. I got another call to collect and that I can't cancel until I pay. I did that and asked again if they prefer people with Covid 19 to come in and cancel and they said they were find with that if you wore a mask which we all now know does nothing to protect people. This company is so greedy they are willing to put the health of their patrons and employees at risk just to make it difficult to cancel your membership. I would think long and hard about joining a club that cares about $20 over the health of their people

This LA fitness location is okay for what it is; 5 star review isn't about the location, but the service that Dashun J provided. Ive had an issue that I had previously been told needed management assistance, but the days management is present, im working. Dashun took the time to recognize the inconvenience of my issue. Without me asking, he took the initiative to get this handled for me without me needing to stress about my schedule. I have been to this location many times where I had to check in with my phone number instead of self check in and these other staff members did not have this same service-driven mindset. What a keeper this LA fitness has. Future manager in the works !
Shout out to Josh too who reached out to let me know my situation was handled.

I’ve been a member of LA Fitness for a long time, and while the facility itself is generally great, I’ve noticed some ongoing unprofessional behavior from an employee named Vanessa. On multiple occasions, I’ve seen her act disrespectfully toward her coworkers—speaking to them in a condescending tone, ignoring their input, and creating an uncomfortable environment during what should be routine interactions. It’s disappointing to witness this kind of treatment, especially when the rest of the staff seems to work hard to create a positive atmosphere. I hope management takes this into consideration and addresses it appropriately.

Dashun was amazing in helping me with getting a gym membership. He was the only working and was still doing a fantastic job helping me while also helping other gym members, as well as managing the gym itself. There were some obstacles along the way (concerning payment processing, getting his manager involved, my many inquiries, etc.) but he provided great solutions, as well as going above and beyond in other aspects. Excellent customer service, patience, and demeanor; definitely deserves a raise!

I very rarely give a business one star. There has to be something fundamentally wrong with the business to get that type of rating from me, and this Esporta Fitness meets that criterion.

The facility itself is ok at best, basic fitness equipment, and nothing special. Good for a quick workout. The problem is that you never know if the club will be open at 5 AM, as they are supposed to be. The possibility that staff will open the club sometime after 5 AM is frequent enough that, if you are on an early morning schedule, you risk not getting into the club until 20 to 30 minutes after they are scheduled to be open because the opener is late.

This is unacceptable for professionals on a tight morning schedule trying to get their workout in before work.

Very dissatisfied with the inconsistent and reliability that this club will be open when it says it will be open.

The picture shows people outside waiting. Most had come and gone after waiting 20 minutes. The club finally opened at 5:25 AM.

NOTE: It has been more than a year since I made the above post, and I am no longer a member of LA Fitness/Esporta, but a fellow named Josh from this LA Fitness reached out to me the other day with a kind apology for my issues with this Esporta's inconsistent opening times, and sought reconciliation for my inconveniences. Perhaps things are turning around for the better at this club, and kudos to Josh for reaching out. For that, I am going to give them two additional stars.

Gym is fine but one thing I have noticed is that the same few front desk employees are not the friendliest, they’ll just stare at you with a blank face as you walk in and barely will even acknowledge you. The ones that actually do appear pleasant and friendly always greet me coming in and usually with a smile on their face. Don’t know their names but they should be applauded for their customer service and consistently providing a welcoming demeanor. The gym itself is fairly clean and plentiful equipment.

They changed their name back to LA fitness. However, a lot of things still says Esporta and well, they haven't fully transitioned over to being LA Fitness, or well what I am use to LA Fitness being like.

Giving it three stars.

Gym is nice and clean and has good working equipment. Lots of equipment at that. Their hack squat machine is bad though. It is the type that is bad for your back. They should replace with proper hack squat machines. They also do not have a hip thrust/booty builder machine. I guess they want people to damage their hips using a barbell and plates. Additionally, they have 15 minute use time on weight machines, cables, etc. so if you have lots of variations and need longer time you may be ok but might need to break it up some. However, most people ignore this and hog the machines.

The green grassy area where you do HIITs, cross training, stretching is rather small and cramped. They have lots of equipment but not lots of equipment. Medicine balls are limited to 15.4lbs max. Kettle bells are all in poor shape and well, you can't always find a matching set. Not too mention there's very few of them. The max weight I've seen is 44lbs. They also do not have in between weight kettlebells. Like it goes from 25 to 44lbs. I believe they may have a 30 which I saw once but who knows where that was hauled off to? Also, the dumbbells in this area are also hit and miss. They jump in size as well. Also, it's sometimes really hard to find a matching pair. IE two 20lbs or 2 10lbs. That is if you can find any in this area!

Additionally, many of the people who attend this location don't seem to have common courtesy regarding others in the gym. Between the plate slamming and the fact people will touch your towel and water bottle or move it looking for something when they should be asking. Don't get me started on I was doing a HIIT and had everything set up and then someone comes over and takes one of the weights I was getting ready to use. Like, really? Also, people don't put things back where they belong. So, the next person comes along who wants to use something has to hunt around for it. It would be nice if people would put things back in their place after they're done with it. I waste so much time looking around for something because someone took it off to somewhere else and didn't return it.

I will update my review and provide more stars IF I notice a change to the green grassy area and the available equipment. It could easily be 5 stars if they fixed some of these problems. I don't hold their other members against them. Can't do much about lack of class and common courtesy.

Overall a standard gym. Most of the trainers and sales crew are shallow/shady. Similar to those members wearing caps to shields their eyes from the world. Esporta employees place promotions with no drive to promote. The days of members inquiring are gone. There is no excitement in the the building. No swimming pool, no Jacuzzi, no large screen visible TV's etc. The men's locker room is poorly maintained. Floors dirty, interior lockers contains debris and god knows what else. Many guys use the sauna as a workout substitute. Sometimes you see puddles of water on the floor and bench . The main porter that they have seems so stressed. I notice she becomes annoyed when members uses an equipment she just cleaned. This location is no longer engaged. Now gyms are filled with glorified employees going through the motions of life. Some are good but most do just enough to stay under the radar.

I have been going to this place for a long time, the coaches are excellent, I train with Alex and with him I feel that I have progressed a lot, his advice has helped me to see results and although now I move and live 30 minutes away from the gym, I will not change my coach, when I think I can't, he knows that I am strong enough to increase the weight or do another set of exercise. and although in the social media we have access to much information and there are thousands of coaches with thousands of opinions I still prefer to put myself in the care of real professionals.

Not to mention they completely fudged over one of my friends for hundreds of dollars with their personal training package which they said would not be charged again unless she wanted more classes. She was caught in a contract from these predators who charged her more than 200 per month for multiple months without being able to cancel, telling her to sell some of her classes and split with it with a friend. Disgusting business.

Esporta is one of the best gyms I have gone to by far. Always clean and definitely not a toxic gym environment either. Everybody is super friendly and the staff is amazing. The kids club staff is always great with my kids and knows them by name. I have worked with PT Brad since August and he is just the best. Very educated on his craft and has helped me reach fitness levels I haven’t seen in years, or more accurately never seen at all. I started out with really bad knees and a bad back and Brad knew exactly how to work with my limitations and I have slowly gained so much mobility and strength and haven’t had a back reinjury in months since starting to work with him. The other trainers are just as knowledgeable and professional. Love that the personally training is more focused on building muscle than HIIT style workouts that I have seen from previous PTs elsewhere. I highly recommend! Giving four stars instead of five only because I wish the gym were a little bigger to allow for more equipment.

TLDR: personal training is amazing, all the trainers are fantastic, and Alex makes working out challenging but fun. 10/10 recommend, even if you think you don't need one. I'm a certified fitness trainer, and a doctor of physical therapy; never thought I needed a trainer, but it's made such a great impact on my life. Read below for more info.

I've been a fitness nut pretty much my whole life, I was an elite level athlete, including D1 college, I'm a physical therapist and certified fitness instructor. I would spend anywhere from 2 to 8 hours in a gym per day. When COVID hit, the gyms closed and I got out of my routine. After a while, I moved to Florida but I was depressed and just couldn't get myself back in alone. My "aha moment" was when I dislocated my wrist just opening my water bottle (I have a medial issue). I joined this gym since it's 5 mins from my house, and decided to sign up for personal training. I had never been this weak before and I didn't know how to meet myself where I was at. Mentally, I just wasn't able to handle how weak I had gotten. It's been almost a year, I worked with several amazing trainers (Noel is fantastic for heavy weight training!!), and currently see Alex twice a week at 5am. Full disclosure, a few months ago, I was hired as a fitness instructor at a different esporta location, but that happened 6 months after joining. Alex has been so much more than a personal trainer. Fitness isn't a linear journey, and it's not just about the physical stuff. It's been a crazy year with a lot of ups and downs, and he keeps me motivated. I show up before the sun comes out, even when my brain would rather sleep in, because I know Alex will get me smiling and laughing, all while kicking my a$$ with hard workouts. Working out with him feels like working out with a best friend. That sometimes you want to curse at 🙃

Alex S. is an exceptional personal trainer. During the year I trained with him, he consistently demonstrated not only a deep knowledge of fitness but also punctuality and an impressive work ethic. What sets Alex apart is his remarkable talent for connecting with clients and tailoring workouts to be both efficient and effective. Whether you're just starting out or you're an experienced athlete, I wholeheartedly recommend Alex as a trainer who can elevate your fitness journey.

They have way too many people working out at once. You can hardly move around and can never get equipment or weights without waiting around. It is not enjoyable to attempt to workout with the amount of overselling memberships they have

The best club in Central Florida. The GM Jamal and Associate manager, and all Trainers (shoutout to Brad & Alex) were nothing but respectful, treated me like family. So much so that I looked forward to going to the gym every morning. Unfotunately, I'm relocating, but will miss my gym family💪

Only reason I am giving 1 star is because I have to in order to write this, I wish I could give half a star.

I have been going to Esporta for almost a year now, almost 4-5x a week. More recently, I had a friend would began training with me to help her learn the lay of the land since I have been a consistent customer for a year now. A couple weeks ago I was approached by a staff member by the name of Jamal. He rudely came up to me and demanded to know if I was training her into which he subsequently threatened to throw me out if I did not show that I too was working out (which I was and have been every time I have step foot into the gym). Ever since this interaction, I have noticed Jamal keeping a close eye during my workouts, making me extremely uncomfortable as someone who is a committed, paying customer of about a year now.

This morning, my friend and I were finishing up our joint work out when Jamal came in for his shift. Not even 5 minutes into him arriving, he came straight over to me and my friend and accused me of training her again. This was and is a completely false accusation as I asked if Jamal knew anything about my previous history consistently coming into the gym and asked him how he could say that after showing up an hour after I was already into my workout. He then proceeded to be completely unprofessional and even threatened to call the police to have me removed. I have been an extremely committed customer as I am a former professional and collegiate athlete with a strict training regimen. I have never been treated this way by any gym staff member ever in my entire fitness history. Jamal needs to be reevaluated and reconsidered as a manager. He completetly mishandled the situation, made false accusations, and referred to me as "bro" several times. Emily, on the other hand, the co-manager, was completely professional in her manner and was the only reason that I felt like the situation did not continue to escalate.

Safe to say, this gym has lost two paying customers all over a misunderstanding with an incompetent manager who does not do his research before accusing customers of things. Jamal needs to be let go immediately.

Best investment I’ve made! I never thought I would have a personal trainer! Noel is making this journey a valuable return on my investment. As a retired educator, I appreciate the teaching he does during each session. Highly recommend Noel and Esporta.

This gym is nice and clean with plenty of machines and weights. The front desk staff are friendly as well as their trainers. I have had great experiences here, especially with personal training.

I signed up for personal training in preparation for a surgery, and not only built muscle and strength, but also learned to enjoy working out and saw a big difference in my body. During my surgery recovery, unfortunately my trainer moved out of state but left me in great hands of a new trainer. Will F. is an awesome trainer! He is knowledgeable, reliable, and has great passion for what he does. He has helped me get back to working out at the gym. If motivation, flexibility, and personal approach is what your looking for I highly recommend him. If personal training is intimidating, I recommend the group training sessions. The trainers are friendly and good at what they do!!

The gym is small but nice. Doesn’t get overly crowded either. Noel and Alex are amazing PT. Unfortunately stop coming due to the lack of management from Megan. One she’s rude, pushy, and obviously doesn’t understand the word no. Reading from previous comments seems like she was replaced. Tried freezing my membership and personal training due to leaving the state for work and was told either I had to buy out or take more sessions. Which was stated in my “contract.” Which nowhere stated I had to buy out over $1000 as Megan stated. Then I received a text message from I guess one of employees stating I was eligible for forgiveness and it was either that or my membership would be in “revoked state.” Simply replied unless they can price match my new gym they can “revoke” my membership which I thought they did since it has been two months since my bank blocked them. And two months of me not going lol. They responded and agreed but never followed up. Regardless, the only thing that sucked about this gym is management. Other than that try it out for yourself and if you do any personal training try Noel or Alex out! Noel helped me reached my goals and I never got to thank him. So thank you Noel!

This location has some of the best PT’s in town. The management is exceptional since the departure of Meghan. With the replacement of Jamaal, the gym has since excelled in several management areas. I have been a member for 4 months and train personally with Alex, who is super amazing and knowledgeable in the industry. I actually look forward to attending on a daily basis for personal and social reasons. I attend Zumba 4 days a week with amazing instructors Amanda, Tanisha, and Reka, cycling with Stephen who is super awesome 2 days a week (wish he was there more often), and group training with amazing trainers Noel, Will, and Alex 3 times a week, including my PT sessions twice a week with Alex. Photo provided depicts the enjoyment of working with Alex. I’m down 12lbs and increased muscle mass with a decrease in body fat. All thanks to my perseverance and supportive staff at Esporta. This investment in my health was the best decision I made this year. Thank you Esporta for being dope!

Coming from another state while on vacation, I was totally impress with this location.(West Hillsborough)
The facility was very clean, staff members were very nice, and the equipment looked brand new! All treadmill’s elliptical’s and bikes had screens on them. There were more weight machines to choose from then what I’m used to in my own state.
There were also multiples of machines so having to wait to use one wasn’t an issue.
Locker rooms, bathrooms and showers were clean and updated.
Kid zone looked very inviting for children.
Classes of various types were posted in the lockers rooms.
I now feel like my home gym is outdated and is in need up some serious updates and will be sharing my experience here in Tampa with them.

Rude un-professional staff.
I've been a member of this gym for more than 10 years, back from when it was LA Fitness. And this morning a staff member, I think Taylor is his name, asked me "Do you want me to print you a cancelation form". The back story: Yesterday I asked if I could get a guest pass for my daughter who is visiting from out of state for few days. They said “yes” and I spent more than an hour updating my app and filling in her personal information. At the end, I got a “7-days VIP guess pass” for her. When we both showed up at the gym, the guy at the register refused to grant her entrance. They wanted to change her $20 single day fee. She did agree to pay, gave them a credit card but the system didn’t allow them to charge her because her VIP guess status was active. At the end, they couldn’t get her money and didn’t want to let her exercise for free. We both left.

I don’t have any pictures for you guys yet but will be coming soon. This is a very clean gym and it has a lot of equipment. The group training is great. They have classes you can take at different times in the day and a pool. They only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star is because my first day the lady that was talking to me about the personal training with one on one trainer was a bit pushy and actually started to upset me. But over all this seems like a great gym.

My family trained at Esporta for less than 2 months. We made it clear that we would not continue after that time as we would be leaving the city of Tampa. Manager Megan was emphatic when she stated that if we moved to a city that did not have an Esporta, we would not incur any cost in cancel the contract. So my wife decided to start training with a personal trainer. Unfortunately we were informed that we will have a fine of $1600. I would like to emphasize that the information given by a manager must be accurate and responsible and that her actions reflect directly on the company's image. I am extremely disappointed with the attitude of the company Esporta, which instead of taking responsibility for the error simply ignores the facts and exposes the customer to bear the burden of irresponsible information.

I did personal training with Alex for a year and learned so much! He was very motivational and really showed me how strong I am by pushing me. I feel more comfortable doing workouts by myself because of all that I learned on how to use the machines, form, etc. highly recommend Alex for personal training. The gym itself can get pretty busy and there are often many machines that are down for maintenance so that is an area of improvement for them.

This gym has everything you need including Alex - the best trainer ever! I never imagined a trainer would have such an impact on my life. He is very dedicated and passionate about what he does. He takes time to get to know his clients and their needs. Alex WILL PUSH YOU and will cheer for you the whole session! He is also VERY knowledgeable and explains what every exercise does and why he chose it for you specifically. He is very empathetic and on the day when you feel down about yourself, you can count on him to lift you up. This is the kind of trainer anyone would be lucky to have. I know I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to train with Alex. I've learned so much through him and gained the confidence I lacked when I first walked into Esporta. I can't thank him enough!

I am very disappointed with the gym. When I signed up for a personal trainer, I mentioned that we would be in Tampa for less than 2 months, we were informed by the manager Megan that if there was no ESPORTA in the place we were going to there would be no cancellation fees. They are charging me a 50% fee, because they gave me the wrong information and now they want me to pay the damage.

In the past 2½ years that I have been a member at the Esporta gym on W. Hillsborough Ave., I have had the following personal trainers: Noel A., Alexander S., and Brad P. All 3 are excellent trainers! They are all well-credentialed and experts in physical fitness. They have been mindful of my goals to increase my muscle mass, while balancing this fitness goal with overall health considerations. They have taught me proper weight training technique, as well as advising me on proper nutrition and workout recovery. I have had good results with my 2-3 days per week of personal training as well as additional time on my own. I give my unqualified endorsement to the personal training skill and expertise of Noel A., Alexander S., and Brad P.

Alex S. Is a great trainer and I highly recommend him as a trainer. Compassionate and capable of training many modalities. Four stars because the gym itself is not managed that well, the equipment is often broken and needs to be replaced. Considering how busy this location is, you would think corporate would consider updating things.

Review is for personal training with Alex. The gym and equipment is all good but what sets this gym apart is Alex. He does a phenomenal job of getting to know you through casual convo and giving advice, sharing products that he believes in and catering workouts to you. His energy is always positive and you go in feeling like you want to work hard because you know he is invested in your wellbeing. Ask him for the “baby deer” workout (because afterwards you’ll walk like a newborn deer)!

This is my very first experience with gym, personal training and all the consequences of healthy lifestyle 😂
And… I can say that this is Very pleasant experience! The gym and kids club (important the gym has it) are clean, equipment is working, stuff is friendly, all the trainers are professionals. But Alex! He is just the best! And what is very important he just never lets you to give up, he gives you confidence in your own success, and helps you to believe in yourself. And this is crucial for the trainer - to hold your back, to support you when you are ready to quit not only from this particular exercise, but from this idea of working out (which usually doesn’t give you immediate results). Thanks Alex, you are the Best!
So gym is not only the equipment - but mostly people who work there. And this particular gym has great advantage.

Alex is a great trainer with alot of patience. Tho he knows when we are slacking and ups the weight. He checks in on us for health stuff outside the gym as well. How are we sticking to a healthy diet. What sort of exercises do we do when not training with him. And he is always willing to dig into the mechanics of each exercise he puts us through as im one to ask way too many questions. He critiques on form while being respectful to make sure we dont hurt our selfs. Best trainer ive had

I have been working out with Alex for about a year now and have drastically gained strength - he has approached my workouts like no other trainer I have had. He continuously pushes me and goes above and beyond each session. He texts me workouts to do when I am not with him and has motivated me a lot to become more dedicated in the gym. I would recommend Alex to anybody as a trainer - you will not regret it!

I've had a membership at Esporta since 2020. I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Alex who is a personal trainer at Esporta. Alex is an amazing trainer! He pushes you to limits you didn't even know you were capable of, he's incredibly positive which is also very motivating and he's not afraid to do the workout with you. He doesn't make you do anything he's not willing to put himself through. Fitness is not always an easy journey. It's often challenging, frustrating, honestly, it's a rollercoaster however, Alex has completely changed my mindset and is a HUGE contributor to my transformation. I give so much credit to him and if you are looking for a trainer in the area, Alex would be the guy you're looking for.

The training team Will and Alexander are the absolute best they are respectful and helped me work to my potential me and my sister have grown so much training with will and became friends with Alexander I love Esporta the only thing that doesn’t make it a 5 is Megan a lot of people have complained and she should get fired

I love Esporta. I have been coming here for a year now. I took a leap and invested into the personal training and I am so thankful I did. I have worked out with all the trainers and they are all great. However, Alex is one of my personal favorites. He is personable and cares not only about getting you to your goals, but also cares about you at a personal level as well. He will push you to do your best and is encouraging during your workout. I feel comfortable as a woman asking him questions that seem "newbie" and working out with him. As a newbie trainee and a woman, it's important for me to feel confident and comfortable in a gym. Even if Alex was not there, there are many other people willing to help and answer questions. Noel and Will are great! I do group training with Noel multiple times a week, and it's a great workout! He will also push you to do your best. I highly recommend the group personal training.

I have my membership mainly for personal training and ALEX is the best person you can train with! I have gone through two other personal trainers and it just was not a good fit, i was ready to cancel the membership all together but then i was placed with alex. There is no judgement from his part, he will accommodate your workouts if needed and helps develop workout plans and meal plans for when you are not training with him. Sessions are always focused on you and improving your form and making sure you are meeting your goals. Alex is very patient with his clients and is always putting his best foot forward. Through him and our sessions I have found a love for fitness that i never thought i would have. If you are looking for a personal trainer, I honestly could not recommend Alex enough! The gym itself is also pretty nice, staff is always friendly and everything is always clean. I will say it gets crowded too easily but thats not the gyms fault.

Realmente este lugar me gusta por la calidad y el confort que tiene. Además, que es donde puedo ir con amigos y familiares por la cercanía. Llevo ya un tiempo en el gym pero lamentablemente ayer a la entrada nos atendió una Supervisora llamada MEGAN, que desde que entramos fue una persona muy invasiva y personalidad atacante. El mal trato era debido a que habían cambiado las políticas del lugar y sin el ID físico no te dejaban entrar, cosa que si es una política nueva como cliente que pago debería ser informada y así poder cumplir sus condiciones, pero además creo que es demasiado porque le enseñe una foto en el teléfono, y es solo para comprobar si es la persona o no, cosa que tampoco quiso aceptar. Ya que era tan atacante pedí hablar en Español porque es mi idioma natal y me es mal fácil expresarme y Megan me dice que nadie hablaba, cosa en la que mintió porque luego me busco a otra persona que trajo para que traducirá. Pero al despedirse fue más que arrogante y casi nos hecho del lugar porque se despidió nos mandó a salir y dio la espalda. No la considero para nada una persona profesional que tiene que lidiar con clientes y manejar situaciones adversas. Ya saben de mi experiencia y e leído otros comentarios antes del mio con ella y veo que muchas personas coincidimos. Espero que los dueños sean capaces de leer y manejar una mejor situación.

The personal trainer Megan is like an annoying salesperson that refuses to take no for an answer.

They call my phone multiple times per week, leave multiple voicemails, multiple text messages. Even after politely declining the personal training, stating instead that I'd rather do my own thing, I was reminded (through screenshots of my badge scan-ins they sent to me through text message) that I had not been going to the gym very often (this is because I was on vacation, and shortly after returning from vacation, tested positive for Covid19). Not that I should have to explain myself to them anyways.

They're very nice when they want something from you. The second you decline their additional services, they get rude very quickly. Trying to guilt trip/gaslight someone into buying your services is very poor in taste and ethics. I've been going to this gym on and off since it was lifestyle family fitness, then la fitness, and now esporta, and this experience has been less than pleasant.

I will say that the actual gym and equipment are nice (a sauna would have been cool too, but that's whatever). The pushy sales tactics are a major turn off though.

I am new in town and was super excited to start working out here with my best friend and roommate . This gym is only 5 min away from my new home . Everyone was so inviting and nice when I signed up . Megan the personal trainer was a little aggressive but still nice . I told her with the new move I couldn’t afford it at the moment but would let her know . Megan called me two weeks later and offered PT . I respectfully declined and let her know I’d let her know when i am ready . My roommate and I started working out together neither of us are personal trainers . We both are just trying to blow steam after work and hold each other accountable we have new fitness goals . We make a work out plan and try our best to stick with it . Today Megan approached us as we were leaving and said that we can’t train each other or she would revoke our memberships ?! Then proceeded to say that is said I had a friend that was going to train me In candem ? I have no idea where that is and have no friends or trainers here, I just moved in here with my best friend . Being approached and threatened to revoke our memberships felt like a threat if I don’t accept personal training there and continue to work out with friends I’ll be revoked . Very un professional , unnecessary and discriminatory comments and behavior . I asked to speak to a manager she said” I am the manager “ I said “ who’s your manger ? She stated “ I am , I am the personal trainer manager “ when I asked for a corporate number no one would comply . I never saw anywhere we are not allowed to work out with a friend . Not once did anyone apologize , they just continued to say we can’t train each other when there was no training of anyone . I’m very disappointed , humiliated , discouraged with this experience . It was starting to feel like a how I even have a co worker that attends the same was gym was nice to start seeing familiar faces . Now I don’t even want to return
