Using my 2 week guest pass and I'm reminded of my old LA fitness membership in Massachusetts. Similar layout, machines, decoration and uniform of the staff. I'm always a fan of their sauna, pool and hot tub amenities. Good selection of dumbbells, barbells, machines, cardio equipment, etc. Will be making the most of my guest pass!

Here's the deal...I suffered a stroke a few years ago, I've been left with a few deficits. My wife and I decided that some personal training sessions would be good to help my balance and regain some strength. My wife talked with Travis, the personal training manager, and discussed the situation and that I was looking for 3 month's training, She explained I'd had a stroke and I would come in and get a tour and sign the paper work for 3 months. I have cognitive deficits and aphasia, this is why my wife was helping me with this task. My wife trusted the manager would honor their conversation and not deviate from the agreement. Low and behold I've been stuck with three training sessions a week for a year. When I realized this, I called Travis, the manager. He was incredibly rude, insulting and uncooperative (basically a bully), saying that if he let me out of the contract or amend it , I was taking food out of his mouth. So, if you are in a health crisis - especially a brain problem, make sure you bring someone with you so Travis doesn't take advantage of you. After the stroke, I can no longer work, so this has cost me $600 a month while on a limited income. Granted the bottom line is I shouldn't have gone in alone. But, Travis and LA Fitness didn't honor their word even after he said he would. Beware!

Had a really positive experience at this facility. I had visited a different LA Fitness in the area while visiting from out of town and they told me they could not give me guest trial because a manager was not present. They charged me a full day pass. The next day I went to the Druid Hills location and the manager explained to me that they should not have charged me a full day admission at the other location, so to make up for it I could come complimentary for my 3 day visit. GREAT customer service. It was also clean, not crowded, and had great equipment. I will visit this location every time I am in Atlanta.

I've been going to this LA Fitness for some years now and I have to commend this staff & trainers for their service and friendliness. I connect with Melissa and Porter the most and always enjoy the quick catch ups I have with them. And although I don't train with Melissa, she seems very attentive to her clients and is always accommodating in sharing the gym space when she trains. Thanks to the staff/trainers for making this a great location!

What happened to all the paper towel dispensers? If you want to be known for being cheap and poor customer service, you're doing a great job!

I decided to join a gym after I broke my clavicle dog sledding . I realized I need to build strength and balance if I wanted to continue to do adventurous things. I visited the gym with a sling on and sat with ZEE for quite awhile discussing what I wanted and if/how they could help me. I joined LA Fitness Toco Hills and then signed up for personal training. Zee understood my constraints, no arm/shoulder work for a couple months, and matched me with a trainer Nana who is a strong fit and extremely intuitive and creative trainer. We focused on legs, abs and back while I was healing. The workouts were tailored to my situation and abilities. Not overwhelming but thorough and challenging. I think this gym is a real gem, reasonable and I know that Zee, Nana and the rest of the staff care are interested in my progress and well being. Do something nice for yourself and exercise in a place that gets YOU.

HUEMANLIFE | Great location. Great clientele. Clean gym. This is one of the best LAF's I've visited thus far in Atlanta. Moving here and trying out gyms has been a task. Haven't been able to find one that's motivating, and has great equipment and selection of machines. The sauna sometimes gets crowded but it's always nice and hot. The pool hardly ever seems to get too crowded. Right now, its my go to location. The front desk guy during the week is obnoxious at night at closing time. This is the ONLY location that I've visited that literally pushes its members out when the gym closes. He blows a loud horn at 5-10 minutes before closing and was still in my in the parking lot after leaving car and I watched him leave by 10:05pm when the gym closes at 10. Not only is the horn blowing annoying its rude. LA Fitness corporate needs to check this. Something if off with this guy mentally. It's frightening. The members are also motivating, which is huge for me when working out. Parking is always great except during peak times, but I always go during off peak hours. Minus one star due to lockers. They need replacing bad! They seem like they are going to fall apart. I wouldn't recommend bringing your wallet in.

The facilities are nice and well maintained but I have two complaints : 1) the "personal training area" being off limits is a huge waste of space in a small gym and 2) the weekend hours are absurd- 8 to 8???? The membership is extra expensive considering you can barely use it on the weekends. 10 pm on weeknights is pushing it (and 9 on Friday's is bad) but 8 pm is really early if you work out in the evenings.

Melissa is a fantastic trainer and definitely keep me motivated. She is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. If you want someone to keep you track and show you how to properly work out, go with Melissa!

I have trained with Melissa at this LA Fitness facility a number of times and find her very knowledgeable and professional. Larry
Great place to workout. I've been going there about 4 times a week every week and I love it. Alyster is the best personal trainer ever! He is a great trainer and not only that, he gives great instruction on working out making sure you do the exercises in the correct form, great guidance on health and fitness overall which helps a lot when you are looking into having a healthy lifestyle. I could not recommend him more. He is wonderful!

This 5-star rating is for Melissa, who has a great and accommodative personal trainer!! Thank you for your help, Melissa. I say this explicitly at the start because even though Toco Hills has been my favorite gym because of distance and relative quiet and low traffic , **rant start** I have been disappointed with aspects of their personal training program. I have been with them for a year and half but 1) they have absolutely no trainers available in the evening, which is my preferred time, and I thank Melissa for making time for me on Saturdays despite her busy schedule 2) Actually, I amend that..they do have trainers but they are apparently "master trainers" - whatever that means and I have to "upgrade" to have access to the, despite having invested a year and half worth of my money on personal training! When you have a lack of coverage, don't you think you should stop trying to fleece more money out of your members? **end of rant**

This gym is great. I am a beginner and struggle with the gym but my personal trainer Melissa helps me with my diet and exercise everyday. I never feel judged or discouraged. i would recommend Melissa if you're looking to lose weight.

I love this LA Fitness location. It is quietly tucked away in Druid Hills. The facility is clean, friendly staff and the best trainer ever, Alyster Edwards! He is amazing! He's very friendly, respectful, and shows a genuine interest in your health and fitness needs. No matter what your goal is or where you're at in your health journey, he can curate a unique plan to get you exactly where you'd like to be. Plus, who wouldn't want to work out with such great eye candy. Lol Check him out, he's GREAT!

This is one of the best locations in the metro Atlanta area. Always clean and the staff are cool and let you get on with things. The trainer Melissa is amazing and fun to work out with.
