I don't think it's right that I should have an irritated feeling in my stomach every time I walk into my gym with premonitions that as I peer toward the stairclimbers I will undoubtedly see long lines and broken machines.  I have been a member of this LA Fitness since August 2008 and what I find truly incredible is that all four stairclimbers (yes there are only four regular stairclimbers) have NEVER all been working on the same day.  I guarantee you that there will be one if not two \"out of order\" signs on these machines on any day of the year.  When I've inquired about the timeline for a machine to be fixed, none of the staff are aware and it typically takes months for it to be repaired only for another one to break.  And, if you try to come any time between 5:00pm and 7:00pm, forget about a quick workout. You will wait and wait for a machine.\nThis is a large gym and with only ONE water fountain in the main cardio area you should expect a line there, too.  I'm also disappointed that in this era of sustainability and green-friendliness you will not find a single recycling receptacle in the building.  LA Fitness probably throws away thousands of disposed water bottles each week.  That is just sad.  \nThe only reason I didn't give this review one star is that I find the cheap membership cost and proximity to my house somewhat redeeming and I happen to like the smoothies at the cafe.  Otherwise, I miss my old gym.. a lot.
