I've been checking out gyms after my 24 Hour Fitness membership expired. I was reluctant to renew it. With my three-day trial pass on hand, I went to LA Fitness. It is in a convenient area, smack in Camelback, with a very promising space. Convenient is centrally located with ample parking, however, that's not what makes a good gym. Promising is when, at first glance, the workout space extends all the way back like a long bowling alley with lots of machines. Upon closer look, some machines were dirty, others vandalized, most had seen better days. After a warm up on an elliptical which handle bars were stickier than honey dried in an afternoon sun, I went for chest machines. I did three sets of seated fly only to notice that per visual diagram I did "_ _ ATE_ FLY". I felt compelled to wash my hands. Promising is a locker room, clean and bright, where you can wash off the built up of sweat and grime on your hand. Reality is a wash room that is more like a petri dish for new drug resistant strain of flesh-eating bacteria just waiting to make the giant leap from dirty floor to human skin. If you're a bacteria, this gym is convenient and promising. Three-day trial pass not required. If you're human, get a pass before joining. Maybe I was there on a bad day. As for the lady working at the front desk? She was staring blankly outside waiting for redemption when her shift is over. I didn't bother to discuss membership options.
