I have been a member of the Tinley Park, IL. LA Fitness for over a year now. I already listed a report after my 2nd month there. Since I have found that the club itself is a filthy hole. Lets talk about the sauna. There are paper towels under the benches that have been there since I joined. There is dryed spit on the wall of the mens sauna that has been there since I joined. Its needless to say it has never been cleaned. I guess they think heat cleans??? Next is the carpet. It has never been cleaned.
For 3 monthes I could not understand when I sit on a locker room bench and change my shoes they STINK! I bought foot powder and shoe deoderant. Nothing! It still stunk! Then I finally realized its the carpet itself. Filthy stench.
If you look ndown from the balcony to the main floor you can see large dirt stains at each work out station and machines. That carpet does not really stink its just dirty, real dirty. Lets talk about the parking lot. Its winter now so it does not show. ALL the trees and bushes are dead. I joined in the winter and did not notice this until spring. I waited but no leaves ever appeared. Total neglect over grown with weeds. Their large sign has weeds so tall that they completely cover and hide it.
Oh and then there is the convention center that has guests take over the parking lot. I went last Saturday, I could not park anywhere. There were about a dozen people inside working out and a parking lot full of over 75 vehicles. What did they do? NOTHING! OK, lets get back to the mens locker room. Twice now have I walked into the locker room only to find numerous lockers broken into. Not 1 locker but 5! They hacked them up and how the heck did no one see? I don't know about you, but my gym bag carries about $300 in gym gear. That figure is about average for everyone.
I have a lot to lose like everyone else. Not to mention the humiliation of being robbed. I told them what I think and he said "You should see other gyms" "They are much worse". I said I don't care, I pay for safety and clean locker rooms. He said Cardinal fitness is worse. I told him that is why I pay twice as much to have a better and safer place to work out. I'm pissed!!
