***UPDATE: 

I felt like my 3/5 star review with feedback was fair. After posting my review, Tyler the sales rep who was extremely aggressive and interrogative about signing up for the training session, called me personally yesterday to accuse me of lying on him to the district manager and was extremely interrogative and argumentative. Who does this? Seriously. Who calls a cancelled member's cell phone off of their personal phone number to argue about their feelings on an honest review? That is not normal. 

And let me make this clear. LA fitness has one more time to reach out to me unsolicited again before I take legal action. Bank on that. I don’t care if I have to lawyer it up or go to headquarters. Calling my phone number, which should have no longer been active, unsolicited after cancelling my membership to argue and attempt to what? berate, intimidate me? It’s illegal and harassment. You can NOT do that.

No means no. Be respectful of critical feedback from prospective clients and learn better conflict resolution skills. Tyler really needs to be fired. Full of ego, pompous, unprofessional and gives a negative view overall on LA Fitness. I will not be stepping into any LA fitness again ever. ****

OLD REVIEW BELOW:

So the facility itself was beautiful, there's a pool, racquetball, tons of equipment and its extremely clean and spacious. Overall, the atmosphere is nice. The girls at the front desk were very informative and friendly.

The reason why I'm giving it 3 out of 5 starts is due to the trainers I have (or have not) encountered. I called multiple times to set up a tour and no one got back with me, so I just came in the gym myself. When I signed up I set up an initial appointment with Steven at 10:00 am and he never showed up. As a result I waited for about 15-20 minutes before another trainer, Tyler, stepped in. Tyler was very knowledgeable and friendly, but also extremely pushy with setting up a trainer membership ($180 for basic, $360 I believe for standard and $440 for premium). I flat out told Tyler no, he still kept going and tried a variety of standard car salesman tactics to get me to sign up. 

For me, when a rep does not respect the fact that no means no without barraging a slew of mildly interrogative questions, it's a deal breaker, not a negotiation period for me.

As a result, I won't be continuing my membership here. Aside from that, LA Fitness is great as an overall gym.

I have been a member for 5 year's and enjoy the club. Don't seem in the nice pool but do use the gym to shoot basket's. You can play racquetball but I chose to save my knees and go to spin class. Depend on the weights and machines for regular workouts......nice locker room, sauna area. Price is competitive...... don't pay extra for personal training if you can work on your own.

The only reason I am giving LA Fitness Pearl two stars instead of one is because I like the facilities for the most part. However, my experience with Tyler the sales rep was awful. He contacted me to set up my complimentary fitness assessment to which I agreed. My first mistake. He greeted me at the front desk without as much as a smile. I spent the next hour uncomfortably interacting with him as we discussed my fitness level, something he did not seem very interesting in doing at all. At the end of the session, he was extremely pushy with signing up for the personal training package. Instead of flat out saying no (my second mistake), I mentioned that I would go home to think about it and discuss it with my husband. I figured this was a good out. He responded by asking me if I needed to have it approved by my husband. Who says this??? Newsflash Tyler, I don't need to have it approved by him but I did need an excuse to get you off my back. Ew! LA Fitness should rethink who they hire and actually read their client feedback on staff.

The gym itself is nice, but as countless people have said here before, the trainers are very scummy. When I first signed up they called me every single day for a solid 3 weeks to get me to sign up for training, very obnoxious. While pushy sales tactics should be expected to some degree, what I considered scummy was watching the trainers try to hook up with with any attractive girl they were working with. It's very off putting watching a trainer next to you put the moves on a young girl and try to push them into going out with them. This has happened quite a few times now and it just feels extremely unprofessional and downright creepy.

Every exercise machine, swimming pool, weights, and so much more. Yoga, senior and regular exercise classes, water aerobics and so much more,in a very clean friendly, roomy gym .  The best! I'd give it 5 stars if there was a juice or snack bar!!
