I love this gym so much. It’s MASSIVE and never super crowded so there are always available machines. The locker rooms are nice and huge and I love taking advantage of the lap pool. They really care for their members and have a full calendar of athletic and social events for members to get to know one another. I haven’t taken advantage of any classes or the spa but I plan to. Love it here!
Lots of potential with this gym (great track, good machines, not too crowded), but as others have said, the policies can be pretty ridiculous. For example, they offer “childcare” but not on Sunday or Monday, and there are other rules around childcare that make it difficult to utilize. Mind you it’s not a daycare by any means - hospitality staff get called down to watch kids when needed. They probably get 1-2 requests for “childcare” a week, yet they still have zero availability on Sunday or Monday, which were key workout days for our family. John Fitzgerald, who heads operations at LSF IC, was unreasonable and difficult, to say the least. I rarely took classes due to the strict policies about signing up and the high cancellation fees. The gym fees are very high in general. It’s a good gym and would have better membership and attrition if they listened to people’s feedback.
Cancelled our membership because of ridiculous policies. Fantastic facilities and welcoming staff but the policies for members are beyond ridiculous for example if you want to use your guest pass even if the class is undersubscribed you need to provide a two hour notice otherwise the free membership pass does not apply. You have to pay $35. If you try and cancel your class even if it’s under subscribed you have to do so long before or you pay a penalty so most people land up just booking the class shortly before to avoid penalties. Terrible policies like this is going to lead to further attrition. There’s so much potential for this gym what a pity these policies and procedures are emaciating its membership.
Huge multi-floor gym with plenty of squat racks and machines and wasn't crowded at all on a Sunday afternoon. $35 day pass was a great deal given how much this facility had to offer. Would come back again and take advantage of their climbing wall and pool.
Joined last month and couldn't be happier. LSF is clean, not too crowded, and very reasonably priced for what you get: a true old-school health club atmosphere. The gym is well-equipped and the amenities are incredible—sauna, steam, room, and hot tub in each (massive) locker room; grooming products; towel service. Big, comfortable lounge. Friendly, personal, competent staff. Overall an awesome place to work out and hang out.
