Reviews

  • Can't go to the membership card without exiting the app and opening again.


  • This app might run on Windows XP. There are so many menus, sub-categories that should all be merged.

  • For group classes, doesn't default to your home gym location, so I have to search for my gym every time.

  • Wish it had an equipment maintenance request feature.

  • I was hoping for at least a calorie counter or workout logbook, but no such luck.

  • UI/UX is horribly out of date, even compared to other gym apps.

  • You can't just save a favorite location for class schedules. Just let me save a favorite club!

  • There is no innovation, user friendliness, or updates.

  • Confusing and problematic. Looks like your app provider is very cheap.

  • Wish the app could do more like a workout log to keep track of workouts, music, or third party app music control, analytics.

  • I can't imagine what it would be like for an older person to try and use this app. Extremely confusing.

  • When you hit the back button it goes back to the home page instead of directly back to the previous page. Very annoying.

  • Why can't I sort classes under my favorites by Day-Time-Class?

  • The UI is just awful and not user friendly.

  • This app does not allow the user to manage their workout and access their results remotely.

  • This app is pointless. Gets me into my gym? Cool

LA Fitness has a style and usability problem.

Home Screen

Layout feels very clunky and too many taps needed to arrive at desired screens/information.

QR code to check in should always be visible on this screen.

Color palette feels bland/outdated.

Menu

Way too much information in the hamburger menu.

Several items in this menu are also on the home screen.

Thumb bar may be the best approach. It would improve usability and user satisfaction during navigation.

Find a Club

When signing up for a class or making court reservations, you're always prompted to select a club location.

Being able to set a "Default Club" would result in less taps for users and alleviate some frustration.

Find a Class

Although this design does "work" it could certainly use a face lift.

Simplified User Flows

Friendly, clean, modern design

I have been in a @framer rabbit hole for the past 6 hours without even noticing as time goes by — its everything I love in Figma combined with everything I love in Webflow. I am in love.
