LA Fitness International - racists

I signed up to La Fitness because I need to lose weight and get in shape and doctors’ orders. I signed up in Feb. and started my workout, cardio and I noticed a trainer looking at me and laughing and pointing me out to his friend, and they both started laughing. I went up to him and asked him what was so funny and he said that there is no hope for me, I was devastated by his remarks and ask for his name and he told me his name was John Michael, manager/trainer and I asked him why he was so mean to say what he said to me and John Michael told me that he hates seeing overweight people in his gym and said everyone should be in shape like him. I called him a few choice words and left because I was very embarrassed and felt really bad about myself and cried all the way home. If our overweight don’t go to La Fitness in Carrollton because John Michael will make you feel like killing yourself, I guess John Michael got his wish with me. Since then I had gain another 20lbs and feel horrible, people like John Michael should be in charge of a fitness place and making overweight people feel the way he did me. AVOID THIS GYM, UNLESS YOU WANNA FEEL LIKE I DID WHEN JOHN MICHEAL DID WHAT HE DID TO ME

Then place the race card back in the deck because her complaint has nothing to do with racism. Goodness...the woman vented out her frustrations which is exactly what this complaint board is for. Whether one decides to visit a business is entirely up to them, all she did was gave a forewarning. Im glad that you are able to shrug off rude comments, like you, I dont tolerate such behavior, but keep in mind not everyone is built that way. I agree that people need to toughen up, and sometimes all it takes is a bit of weight loss to build up that self esteem to do so, but even with that it does not excuse this JON MICHAELS behavior. He is representing a well known fitness center. If this was my business..be assured this person would be out the door. Anyone who I hire to represent my gym better be polite and courteous to ALL clients...Rich, poor, black, white, thin or large...everyone should be treated with respect.

I would pay no attention to this John Michael...I would of called the gym and complained about this trainer that they hired, so that they could get rid of this fool. He is representing LA Fitness Center and should handle himself accordingly. He sounds incompetent to me. Never give up my friend! You could do it...Exercise is Medicine :)

LA Fitness International - very rude customer service

I wish I had read these reviews before I signed up, my name are Tammy and I too had a problem with that bald guy John Michael. I am in my late forties and I was all excited because I was finally going to get to a healthier me. When I signed up they were very positive for me but that all changed when I showed up for my first workout. I walked in and no one was sitting at the front so I checked myself in and after I move to the workout floor this bald guy John Michael came running up to me and demanded my membership card and John Michael was telling me that I didn’t belong in his gym. As I was reaching for my card, I said excuse me with disgust and John Michael told me I was too old to be in his gym. Only young hot girls are allowed in here, I was so hurt I left and as I was leaving John Michael said to one of his friends that is how you get rid of the old out of shape women in here. I hope women read this and don’t go there unless you are 20 and like 105 lbs., otherwise you are gonna feel John Michael wounds that cut too deep to heal.

LA Fitness International - racist

I don't like this gym because they don't like ###s. I had a problem, I spoke to John Michael (manager) and gave him my number to call me back, and John Michael never did. I saw John in the gym the other day and ask why he never called me back for the problem I had and John Michael told me that he doesn't like ###s. I was speechless and as John was smiling I told him that's ok but that doesn't take care of my problem and ask to speak to John's boss and John Michael told me that his boss doesn’t like ###'s as well. I will never go back their again and I will be calling the NAACP and the BBB.
