    I have belonged to this gym for 5 years, through 3 owners and several managers.

    The facility is great. Locker rooms are great. Instructors, classes and trainers are solid.

    The problem with this club is management. Once they sign you up, they disappear. There is no customer service to speak of...

    The TV's are the other problem. The young, motivated members of this club ask simply for some nice tvs with sound and some different channels to choose from.

    The club does not recognize this. When a tv goes bad, they buy the cheapest replacement they can find. Then the replacements go bad...

    Enough going on from me. My wife belongs to the 24 Hour Fitness up the road. It's a much better deal for the money. Don't waste $100 a month for this place.

    The Worse Gym in LA: This place is the worst. The management is uncaring. Once they sign you up for a long term deal, you are useless to them and they ignore suggestions, complaints, questions, etc. In 2002 many members complained constantly of a raw sewage smell from the shower area of the men's locker room. After hearing this for months, I approached management about it. They ignored me, stating that "Corporate is looking into it." Weeks went by. Nothing happened. So I began placing notes in the Member Suggestion Box with my return e-mail address and phone number. Weeks went by. Nothing happened. After 16 straight unanswered notes, I started placing profane messages in the Suggestion Box to see if that would at least invoke a reply. Silence from Bodies ! Eventually I called the Health Dept. who set an appointment to investigate. Bodies learned of the visit by the Health Inspector, and rushed over a crew in the middle of the night to "flush" the system. It worked for a time, but the offensive odor came back. I quit the gym shortly thereafter. Later, a former manager there laughed and told me that suggestions simply get filed in the waste basket regularly. It's just a ruse. This is unfortunately typical of Bodies. It's from the top down. Another former trainer from there told me that he had 14 General Manager at the Encino branch in 12 months. 14 !!! Now that's turnover, and that's bad management.

    Classes are taught by people who have no backgrounds (with some exceptions) in the disciplines they teach..at least in boxing and boxing. Run from this place. They are horrible, just horrible.

    This Place Rocks!: I am a member of BIM and I love it. The main reason I joined is because of the classes. They have many to choose from...Yoga, Pilates, Kickboxing, Spinning & Aerobics classes. Some of their machines such as the treadmill have TV screens so while you're working out, you can watch TV. Hey...It doesn't hurt! The bathrooms are immaculate and the showers come equipped with shower gel and shampoo. The facility is great, very clean and spacious. This gym is higher up on the gym food chain. For those that would rather not deal with places like 24 Hour Fitness, this is the place for you. It's been described as rather snobby in some other reviews I have read, but who cares. I haven't gotten that vibe personally. BIM is a little pricey, but well worth it for what you get. Oh yes and there's also a shark tank...Not like that matters.
