LA Fitness Mobile 17+

The previous version of this app worked fine. I only use it to look up class schedules and check in. Class schedule is fine, kind of annoying that I can’t set a default so it knows automatically where I want to look up but it’s a non issue really, maybe something that can be added in the future. My biggest issue is checking in and locations. First off, why do I need to be within 500 feet of the gym to open my membership card on my phone? Why does LA fitness want to know our location so bad that it restricts its clientele this way? Not to mention it takes a good 10-15 seconds to open up the membership card because the app has to figure out where you are and make sure it’s ok to open the membership card. Basically I have to get permission every time I go to the gym. Before it would just open up, no issue. Others might not find it annoying but something small like that just sinks the quality of life of the app into the gutter for a person like me who just wants to check in and go.

I’m not sure when the last update was on this app. I haven’t been using it ever since LA fitness was shut down temporarily. I remember before everything happened, this app worked beautifully. I would be near a gym and it would ask me if I would like to open up my membership card. Now, when I click on mobile membership card on the three dotted line on the left, it says I need to go to a club to activate it or when I click on the button to sign in really quickly, before I’m even near the gym (it didn’t do this before) it says to be 500 feet near the gym. When I am at the gym and ready to be scanned, it said the account was on another device. (I’ve never used my account on another device nor did I ever give my information to another person.) so I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out with that issue. I’m not sure if it’s an update or what it is, it’s just really frustrating having to give my number out loud all the time. Thank you.

LA Fitness has a good check in process; you can use your mobile device or your card and phone number although I think phone number are begin phase out. The gym equipment can be better and better organized. For example the weight room should be on ground level so you don’t hear the dropping of the weight over your head. Running and abs work out machine should be on the upper level. Particularly at the Bundy location. The shower title could use some maintenance work, but the water pressure is awesome. The perks in the women locker room is having the sunna next to the shower and the space of the women locker room is great. I always see a parking attendant and maintenance personal around cleaning and fixing things, so a little upgrade to help the cleaning appearance to the overall environment is needed because no matter how good you clean if you don’t upgrade title and flooring everything will look & feel old.
