Michael ( the owner) is super nice and helpful. You get the feeling that he really cares about you reaching your goals and gives good advice on how to improve.I also really like the gym. Super spacious and has a lot of machines so you dont end up fighting over equipment. The pool is also nice.Overall great experience so far and very friendly staff.

I have been going to Esporta Fitness for a month now and i have to say that it has been one of the best gyms i have been to. Michael is such a good trainer and is attentive to any issues you are having that day and help you get through it. Very friendly and clean, all there trainers are such great people to work with and help you to reach your goal.

I recently joined this gym about three weeks ago & I have to say Ive had an amazing experience since the moment I walked in. The staff is top of the line as far as customer service, experience & just overall professionalism. I am far from a gym rat but now understand how people become them because this gym will have you wanting to go back time & time again. They have everything you need the layout is perfect. The facility is extremely CLEAN (compared to some of the other locations) I work directly with Michael who is I believe the head trainer/manager & his knowledge on fitness is endless. His passion for teaching is undeniable Im sure I will see results in months or maybe even weeks to come. Some days if I dont want to work out I just go and jump in the pool which is rarely packed there is always a lane open and if there isnt gym members are courteous enough to let you know how long they will be swimming. Ive paid for other gyms like Planet Fitness, The Edge, but by far, this gym has been the best bang for my buck. Extremely affordable for everything they offer. Definitely recommend!

I like the gym. Everyone that works there is very nice and it’s very clean. The blonde women who cleans the women’s locker room, showers and bathrooms scrubs the place down.It is also a good price for what you get.What I don’t like about the gym is; the pool hogs.Tip: Don’t try to use the pool before 5pm.In the morning and early afternoon the older people spend hours in the pool and have no issues cutting in front of you if you are waiting to use pool.

The change from la fitness to Esporta is a great experience not only are the prices for memberships much better, but the overall experience is great! Michael and the group training sessions are great, high energy and the knowledge he knows about the body and how to make adjustments is great. 10/10 would recommend. If you’re looking for a great trainer go to michael! The entire staff is also so friendly.

This is a vast facility staffed well and has great leadership. Michael is clearly an expert in his profession and shows real passion to help people of all body types reach fitness goals. Esporta as the new LA Fitness rebranding is heading in a good direction and it shows at this location.

ESPORTA of Bristol has improved a lot in last 6 months since Mike joined the team. Cleanliness and organization is better. Mgt is taking a lot of steps in right direction. I would recommend anyone to meet Mike and his team for any issues. They take is very seriously and constantly improving.Big shout for Mike for bringing it to next level.

I recently joined this gym. The price is good, facilities clean, nice mix of people, friendly and helpful staff. There is a four month contract and then it is month by month with a guaranteed rate for life. I’m pretty impressed!

Started group training with Michael last week. He really focuses on each person in the group. Even though it is group training, he tries to cater to each individual’s strengths and weaknesses. His knowledge, attention to detail and being motivational towards the clients are his key attributes. I would highly recommend Micheal.The Bristol location is equipped well with weights and machines. The employees ensure the locations is clean and staff are very friendly!

I am a television announcer for ESPN, but Im based in FL. In February, I had to go to Bristol to host a show at our studio. Normally when there, I workout on our ESPN Campus, but on this trip, the ESPN Wellness Center was still closed. I arranged to obtain a guest pass to LA Fitness and I was so impressed. The employee who signed me up was Catherine, and she was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and efficient. The staff was very friendly and fortunately obsessed with cleanliness and orderliness. Staff members routinely walked the facility floor, picking up weights, any tiny bit of trash and making sure there were plenty of paper towels, sanitizing spray and disinfectant. The members also were very respectful and did a good job of being responsible by cleaning equipment after use.I never experienced too many people trying to workout at one time, and in fact, everyone there did a natural good job, of their choosing, to keep adequate space between each other.I will definitely seek to return to this LA Fitness each time I visit our studio, and if I lived locally, this would be the health club Id join!

Been a loyal member for ten years. LA fitness is rebranding to ESporta and offering new memberships for $9.99 per month. When I asked about the $9.99 offer I was promptly told I would need to pay $250 to buy out my membership, I would need to wait 90 days, then pay $100 to change to the $9.99 membership. It’s terrible how they treat their long-term clientele. Needless to say they will be losing my business.

What can I say Im a member, some of the jacuzzis breaks down easily so they say. The aquatics are number one still. One thing thats a real need is a clothes ringing machine to ring out all the water after a swim. I will hope all la fitnesses / esporta s will install them soon. Outside of that its 5 stars!

The girl that signed me up was more interested in texting on her phone than in doing her job.

Great Gym. Love the new training programs Esporta Fitness is offering. Membership prices are very cheap. Place is huge and very clean.

Clean and well equipped with all different types of machines. 6ft. Distance between machines. Safe and clean.

Great gym, friendly staff. Consistently clean which is nice and tons of machines to use so I am never waiting for anything. Other members seem very happy while they are there as well.

Thanks for the new music playlist. Place is clean and well run

Great staff. Everyone is so helpful. Very clean. I enjoy going there to exercises

Great Gym 👍 👌

Nice and clean place

One of the only indoor bodies of water in all the land, this particular pool at La Fit Newington is the best. You can reserve a lane any time of day between 5 am and 9 pm, and its a guarantee to get your swim on!The people are all very respectful of the virus protocol in the gym and lockerooms, and its kept clean .If youre not a member yet, go and see the GM, Secander, and give yourself the gift of health and wellbeing!

Very disappointed in this clubs cancellation methods. Having to print a form and mail it to CA to cancel membership in this day and age is ridiculous. Also closed amenities does not constitute getting reimbursed for membership fees due to something totally out of our control is not a good business practice. I understand its not the clubs fault due to COVID however, I feel more could have been done such as reducing fees etc.

John (operations manager) and John (general manager) are very rude to customers when it comes to cancellation of membership. Asked me to come to the gym for cancellation in between 9-5 and when I went there John (operations) was not available. Cancellations handled only by one staff in facility which is kind of ridiculous. So if youre out of luck and the guy is not there in the facility, then well good luck to you

I like the pool in particular its usually open swim and I can get a lane easily and no one to bother me I think this is a great place for Bristol clean helpful its wonderful here

The manager of this location does a great job and is committed to hearing the concerns of his members. The facility is kept clean and often not too busy.

Sonia is an outstanding personal trainer!

Quiet gym which I like. Not the cleanest. I’m not one to be picky but if the cleaning lady spent as much time cleaning as she does her own makeup in the dressing room, this place would be spotless!

Always been a good place to work out!

Great gym. Pool, sauna, racket ball courts, classes, child care.. we go Monday, Wednesday, Friday and it feels great.. no one judges you and everyone we have spoken to is super friendly!

I got two fitness lesson with Mr. Anthony Bonenfant at L.A Fitness in Bristol, CT.It should be noted that he is a very a very dedicated and meticulous instructor. He makes sure that the training he provides is accurate and effective. He makes sure that the lesson is properly planned out and works with the trainee at an appropriate pace.It is because of employees like him that a gym session becomes a very productive session,Kudos to his dedication.Job well done!!

Awesome staff. Always a friendly greeting upon entering. Great facilities. Even though I dont have a Personal Training membership, Sonia was gracious enough to assist me on a couple of visits. Ian is also very good with the clientele. Very comfortable here.

I have been a member of the Bristol location for many years and truly enjoy going. Its clean and the classes are great. However I really wish they would put something besides politics and sports on the televisions. With todays technology there definitely shouldnt be a radio station channel in order to listen to the show. Many of the other local gyms have televisions on the individual machines. On my cardio nights this would help pass the time easier.

The equipment worked great and the pool was like heaven

I like LA Fitness, the atmosphere is really great. The facility is really clean. But canceling is very difficult the manager always seems to be out and he seems to be the only person to be able to get you to cancel. Ive called once been there another time and its quite the challenge. In the meantime Ive paid for two extra months

Joined two months ago and liking it a lot.The personal training has been a great investment. My PT is Sean who is a real pro. He has helped me develop an effective training routine and I am getting very goodresults with it. Head trainer Ian is very friendly and knowledgeable. While there may have been management problems in the past, I think this new team is doing good work as they try to make things right.

Been coming here for almost a year. Love it. Never had a problem. I have tried three different gyms in five years and hands down I will be staying with this gym for a long long time. These negative comments you see are not condusive of this gym. Its is always spotless, the classes are fantastic, the people are nice and so is the staff.Some people feel insecure starting at a gym and often project that others are mean or nasty, like Ive read below. Never ever ever had a problem here. Oh. And no contract. How can you beat that?!... For a buck a day just about you get the gym, the pool, the jacuzzi, the classes...no contract. Who can beat that? If you just want to go workout and leave this is your place.

The staff rarely acknowledges you with a hello or thanks for coming. Theyre usually too deep into their phones to dare give anything resemblance of customer service. They act like you dont exist or pay good money to use their facility. Im not asking for a complete conversation with the staff, but its a turn off when they dont make eye contact or greet/say goodbye 7/10 times. The only bright note is a female janitor who is a breath of fresh air.

I really enjoy this gym. It is very comfortable and spacious. The equipment is very clean and the place overall is very tidy. Ian Skelskey, the personal trainer is a very talented individual. He can see where your weakness is and help you personally work to achieve goals that you think you are incapable of. Ian is very friendly and the most comfortable trainer I have worked with. He is patient and directs you very well while explaining what muscles you are targeting. He is like an engineer of the human body. He motivates you to do your best. I recommend him and this gym if you are ready to change your lifestyle for the better.

Home away from home, its a clean facility, my kids love kids klub. I dont have personal training but the trainers are very friendly. Ian is always friendly and attentive always has a smile and there to help. Would highly recommend this location.

I’ve been coming here for years and I have never seen a gym go downhill as fast as this one. I’m a personal trainer at 2 other gyms and they promptly fix equipment when it goes down. The standing calf raise was out of order for roughly 6 months before it was fixed, the T bar row has now been out of order for several weeks. Weights are scattered all over the place because the members do not pick up after themselves which is unacceptable but some of that responsibility falls on the staff for leaving it there overnight. Currently there are 2 employees that are sitting at desks with their feet up like they are sitting on the beach drinking margaritas. The membership has clearly dropped since the edge fitness club has opened up down the street and not even that has encouraged the management to respond to the customer complaints about equipment not functioning properly or the cleanliness of the gym.

I like this gym a lot, even better than the Farmington location. It is more spacious and have a basketball court. People are nice and you cant beat the free yoga, spinning classes. Bathroom could use some help once in a while.

I canceled everything with LA fitness because they are charging us for nothing they are Rubb no more with this company with regards😤

I highly recommend this gym to others. They have everything I needed to stay motivated and workout to my fullest! Great place and staff too.

Beautiful gym. Even though the parking lot is full I can always find a machine to work out on. Pool is good size and dressing room spotless and stylish.

Favorite gym

The personal training manager Ian paired me up with a great trainer, Brian Sitka. He and Ian listened to my goals and needs and provided me with a regime that really has helped with my strength and flexibility. Having Brian there really has helped to motivate me to keep pushing to reach the results that I want and need. A personal trainer that is matched to you makes your workouts so much more productive. A plus !

Its alright. Love the pool an hot tub great for after a hard work out.

I am a member. The elliptical machines are old and most do not work properly. Some squeak, some do not measure heartbeat, some do not work at all. The pungent odor of the mens dressing room covers the nearby area. Great location. Friendly staff.

LA Fitness is a great club. It is clean and the environment is comfortable. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend it for sure.

Great gym for the money. Lots of free weights, cardio equipment, etc...Friendly staff. You know exactly what you are getting for the money. The place is clean and well maintained. My wife and I have been members for quite some time and have always had a positive experience. No problem with giving this place 5 stars.

Favian is great guy, very personable. Set me up with a great membership!

Awesome gym everything you need clean very nice staff

I love it. Excellent fitness center and a lot of activities for young and elderly.

Anthony at the front desk is a very great man

Overall the gym is good. Clean, locker rooms are big enough to hold a duffel bag. BUT if youre looking to use the pool at the gym DO NOT GO HERE!The pool is constantly running at freezing temperatures. Either the same part keeps breaking and theyre only band-aiding the problem, or theres something seriously wrong with the system altogether.

Ive sent two emails to these people regarding the dirty wad of used toilet paper in the showers and no one has done a thing about it, or had the decency to call me back. Anyone ever call the health department on these people?

*Nothing against this gym*Buyer beware!Luis Rodriguez is a trainer who works as a manager at this gym. He represents himself as a personal trainer and owner of L.I.F.T LCC neither is reputable. He is unprofessional and irresponsible. I paid in full for my training sessions; he refused to fulfill the agreement then gave me the run around after he told me he would give me my money back. DO NOT give this man money. He is unprofessional and does not know how to handle his business. I am in the process of taking him to small claims now. Take heed. Work with someone else at this gym. This guy is no good to do business with.

We joined about 2 years ago. Signed up for a trainer as well. The hot tub is out of order more often then not. We paid for a trainer and worked primarily on the machines...kept explaining we wanted more than machines. We tried to end the training membership and it was next to impossible. They have certain hours you can go in to talk to the operational manager so he can try to resell you. What a nightmare. Now we are trying to cancel the regular membership. Wanted out for a period of time. Probably would have gone back next winter....the cancellation process again is next to impossible. We are cancelling June 10th and are forced to pay for July. It is all about them making money and absolutely NOT about customer service. The front desk is useless and they have clearly been brain washed to think this is what customer service looks like. There are so many choices in the area....this is not your best option clearly.

Absolutely not worth the price put $400 up front to pay $30 a month for a gym where the staff is a bunch of people who obviously dont want to be there. No greeting no help by staff of you dont know where to start this gym is not it, canceled my membership and felt scammed everyone inside knows each other its a more social environment then a workout environment and the ladies who work behind the desk right when you walk in have the most disgusted faces as if they have a migraine working there everyday. PT is an overpriced scam twice a week its $200+ and its 30 minute sessions if your gonna sign up save your money and just buy a bench press for your house.

Outstanding equipment. Great for any level of exercise. Super clean lockers and restrooms!!!!!

Friendly, nice and clean! Pool is awesome and always warm. Lockers are very very nice.

Went with Oscar! He’s great, he was customer conscious and went to the very limit of his capability to make sure I was satisfied. Thank you LA!

Has an excellent hot whirlpool! The swimming pool is excellent also! The sauna is excellent as well! I recommend this health club!

Coins: Low amount of dumbbells, dirty vents, old equipment. Pros: good location, good size of swimming pool, friendly staff

Ive gone to a few gyms and Id have to say this is by far the best one Ive ever gone to I always see somebody cleaning the employees are very nice the changing rooms and showers are always very clean. If you have a question about a machine everybodys more then happy to come over and show you how to use it or answer some questions that you may have

Ive been a member at the Bristol location for over 6 years. The atmosphere is very nice and staff have been very friendly. I go almost daily at varying times and aside from peak hour crowding, I am extremely satisfied here. I will continue to go here as long as I live in the area.

Amazing Kendall was great. An Sonya was amazing as well thank you

Very nice gym. Plenty of room to work out and has all u need in a gym and more.

Great club to workout at. Clean facility. Tons of equipment!

Good place for SILVERSNEAKERS. Be careful it is FREE to join under silversneakers. You get ALL the benefits, there is NO need to pay anymore.

I recently joined as a member about a month and a half ago and have got to say that its been a pleasure so far. From the atmosphere to the employees and even the other regulars who I see almost everyday. I workout with one of the personal Trainers there, Ian Skelskey, and have not only been pushed and motivated by him, but I have learned a great deal on how to work out properly and efficiently without hurting myself and focusing on specific muscles each day. I have never had a gym membership before I chose to join here and I could not be happier. If you want to work out but you dont know where to begin or what machines to use etc. I highly recommend walking in and picking out a plan that works best for you. With the help of their staff, Im sure youll be as pleased as I am with the results you will get.

The staff are very friendly. The personal trainers are pushy salesman. One of them called me up to ask me when I was coming in next. The next day he called to confirm when I was coming in. I called back and made it very clear I wasnt making an appointment. If you dont like this type of behavior, do not set up the personal assessment. It has a diverse group of clientele. The bathrooms are very clean. There are tvs for the treadmills and bikes. I love the pool and jacuzzi.

Wonderful, clean place to work out - something for everyone, diverse clientele.Have belonged to gyms in New Mexico, Southern California, and at Okemo & Sugarbush in Vermont, and this one has the most options, informed trainers, professionalism and a pool to boot.Classes are rarely crowded even if the parking lot looks full, the place is so big, everyone spreads out. All shapes, sizes and ages, no pressure.Very very happy with this gym - if you want to actually work out and learn how to do so properly, with varied options, and not just chill in the hot tub, you might get your groove on here!

I love LA Fitness. But I dont need to hear the GM yelling at his employees while Im working out. Very unprofessional, get someone else in there.

Im surprised with people saying they try to force the personal training on you. Ive been a member for 6+ months, and go to the gym daily, or at least every other day. I havent been approached by anyone trying to sell personal training to me since Ive joined. The staff are always friendly, and always have a smile on their faces. The place is kept very clean. 5 Racquetball courts, basketball court, cycling room, yoga/other room, sauna, hot tub, pool, tons of cardio equipment, tons of weights, large locker room area, and an area for your child to be watched while you work out. This place is great, well worth the money in my opinion.

I like the gym a lot. I like that they have a swimming pool and a jacuzzi, oh and that sauna is the best feature. It is worth the 30 dollars. I did sign up for personal training, all through pressure. Once you go to that free assessment you end up getting reeled in for a PT contract. I am not going to lie though, my PT is going well. I lost 3 pounds and I feel better now. I think its good for me, I am the kind of person to need direction and coaching, if your not like that, dont go to the assessment unless you know how to say NO. lol Other than getting suckered into PT, its a good gym.

Good, clean facilities. Lots of amenities. Fantastic childcare staff.

The pool is never warm, theyre having issues with the ph balance on an ongoing basis. They tell you the pool and hot tub will be ready, but then its another week or more! They do not maintain their equipment at all. I need handicap equipment-and there is only one recumbant bike and one eliptical down stairs. they need at least 6 ! No wonder why they are losing business !

Not as crowded as some. Many classes, pool, day care, comfortable atmosphere

It was fun, informative and motivative session .. and the trainerMr. Kendall is awesome.. 👍🏻

First day at LA fitness. Met kendall, he has great knowledge on giving correct advice from the assessment . He is a goto guy for anything and explain very patiently

The gym is clean enough, and there are plenty of machines. However, unlike other area gyms, all of the equipment is kept solely in the training room in hopes of suckering you in there to work out and then getting you to sign up for personal training. The staff is friendly, I suppose, but they definitely dont go out of their way by any means. I was literally harassed for the first 3 months by people trying to get me to sign up for my free training session. They even went to far as to call my sister (who had visited with me as a GUEST) on her cell phone looking for me. I literally had to yell at some guy who called me yet again and told them that what they were doing qualified as harassment and if I got one more call I was cancelling my membership. Frankly, I kind of wish I had stayed with Big Sky. They have way more equipment (kettle balls, mats, etc). LA Fitness doesnt even have an area to stretch in unless you want to share a tiny space with a bunch of other people or are able to slip into the classroom. The only good thing is the price.

Helpful staff and never crowded

The staff at LA Fitness of Bristol are consistently friendly, helpful and professionalThe facility is clean and maintained.

Great gym but unfortunately there are only two power racks and one squat rack.

I was looking for a new gym (previously went to PF), something that had some extras. LA Fitness was always on my mind and I decided to go and try a 3-day pass. I got there for the appointment and at the end was asked by the employee So you gonna join? Lets get you set up. My intent was to go, workout out for 3 days and see how I liked it. But instead, I felt pressured into signing up. Lets just say- dont sign up for the free PT assessment or personal training. I had the unfortunate experience with Eddie, who would not give up on getting me to sign up after I told him numerous times to let me think about it. He then flat out told me that I would never reach my goals (without his help of course). When I left, I should have felt excited to start something new. Instead, I felt immediate regret and I was fuming over my experience with the personal trainer, who was this complete ass.The facility itself has tons of machines, and I loved the zumba classes with Wendy and Johanna (they are both so upbeat and fun, and you will be killing those calories). Although, be prepared to deal with people who act like those classes are personally theirs. For such a huge place, I would have thought the cardio machines would be a little bit more updated, theyre not. I can tell you that the womens bathroom facility is always a mess. Looks like it hasnt been cleaned in days. People barely clean the machines, its gross, but I guess this can happen anywhere. The front staff looks bothered when you walk in through the door, theres only about 2 people who are actually friendly. Half the time theyre on the phone on personal conversations, and look annoyed that you have interrupted them. These things have just added up and I will be cancelling my membership. Was a waste of money, at least for me.Just a bad experience overall, just a commercial gym willing to do anything to get your money. Personally, I will be going back to Planet Fitness. Its cheaper, friendlier staff and at least the damn bathrooms are clean.

Great gym. Very clean and well maintained.

Its very clean and great atmosphere. Staff here are very polite.

The chunky Girl and guy at front desk on thanksgiving day were rude and told us they dont offer a free trial and tried charging us $15 each for the day. Just based on this they lost two customers. Watch out for the rude employees and heavy sales pitches when you do sign up. My friends warned me and I just experienced it first hand.

Convenient location and cleaner than other gyms Ive used. Just replaced the spin bikes with newer models.

Real good gym and the stuff is very nice and helpful

Do not trust LA FITNESS WITH YOUR BANK INFORMATION!!!Never using LA Fitness ever again canceled membership back in September charges to my account supposed to end in December . Charges still being made to my account in January, asked management at LA Fitness Hamden why? was told I had to go to my bank to stop charges being made.Never again.

Usually packed but a decent gym

Spacious. Nice pool and loads of equipment

Not the greatest, you have a lot of members that look for fights, act like bullies & some of the staff are friends with that type of mentally!!! Would not recommend the Bristol location!!! Awful!

Well maintained and clean. Nice staff.

Joined in order to work out with a friend, but quit during mountain bike season. Signing up was a huge hassle and I had to play hardball to get the price down to $35 a month. Quitting was nearly impossible and I ended up cancelling the cradit card in order to stop the charges. Go somewhere else!

Nice place good equipment

Great Place, wish they had a location in Waterbury. I know that place would be packed.

Great gym, close to everything possible. Very clean.
