Louisville Athletic Club - Clarksville — Local services in Clarksville

I waited about 2 months before I decided to do a review just so I can leave my honest review of the place. Don’t get me wrong. I love working out here, I love utilizing the cafe and other benefits that are offered to members but just like anywhere it has its faults. I’ll do what I like and dislike about the place and then my overall opinion.

Likes: •The vibe you get from walking in is nice and it makes you want to get a good lift in. •All the things that are offered to its members. •The indoor turf. •The free weights. •Ms. Linda is one of the sweetest workers there. She’s always walking around cleaning, has a smile on her face, and happy to engage in conversation with anyone.

Dislikes: •In the guys bathroom, 2 of the showers has not been working for the past month, 1 shower only puts out cold water, and 1 shower has a light bulb that has been out. •Also in the showers the shampoo containers inside of the showers are most of the time empty and I always have to go to one of the other showers to put shampoo on my scrub then go back to my shower to finish up. •Some of the lockers are broken and has been for weeks. •One time I was using the bathroom and I had to call the front desk to bring me some toilet paper because my stall was out. •Some of the equipment does not get fixed right away. The step master on the 2nd floor has a drag in it that has been broke for the past month in a half. There are some other equipment in there that needs to be fixed as well. •In the guys sauna there’s trash always on the ground. One time I found a baggy with marijuana in it because I had dropped my phone and it landed right there next to it.

Overall: As mentioned before I love working out here but I feel like in a way I’m being got for my money because as a member these issues aren’t being resolved and we pay a maintenance 2 months out of the year and the maintenance issues aren’t being taken care of from my knowledge I don’t know if it’s a staffing issue or what but they need to get some Planet Fitness workers in there because those workers don’t know how to stop cleaning. When I was working out there, every time I came in, no matter what time of the day it was nor how packed it was. They had workers cleaning bathrooms, windows, equipment everything. There was one time I was doing a lift and the equipment I was using was been cleaned while I was doing the lift. Ahaha And they always fixed their broken equipment right away. If it was broke Monday morning, it’ll be fixed Monday afternoon. If LAC did these things I would love it there even more. I know it may sound like I’m knit picking but like I said. If I pay to be on contract then I expect for everything to taken care of like Planet Fitness. Maybe...

A great gym with plenty of equipment. Lots of the members are really nice and are willing to spot you on your heavy lifts. I gave 3 stars because of the inconsistency in the staff enforcing rules and lack of respect for men over women. The first thing that happened to me had to do with when I first signed up. A African American man wearing a bandanna was working the front desk. I inquired about a membership and he gave me a quick tour. We got all the way back up front where a short blonde woman was waiting at the desk and having a billing issue. The man looked at me and said "ima help her first then you". I questioned his decision by replying "but you're already with me?" "It won't take long" he said. He then spent the next 15+ minutes trying to flirt with this girl under guise that he was helping. I ended up walking out and signing up the following day with someone else. The rule enforcement exame happened a few nights ago when a white male approached me in the free weight area. I had a 130 lbs dumbell resting on a bench while I recovered, he got on to me and said "please don't put dumbells on the bench, it ruins the bench". Makes sense I thought to myself. But what really irked me was there were 2 other people with dumbells on their benches on the other side of the dumbell section. He also told me he "was the only one who enforces those rules". First there is no sign saying you can't put dumbells on the bench. Second if you're the only one enforcing rules on certain people but not others, that doesn't seem right.

But I'm a chill guy and they're allowed to enforce and run their business how they want, just like I'm allowed to write an honest Google review of my experience with some of the night staff.

Overall a great gym. Love...

I travel for work so most gyms I go to I usually only do a single month at a time as I’m never anywhere for more than that. I signed up for that and received that and paid cash and everything was fine. Left town never heard from them. Returned to town to do the same except I didn’t have cash so I just gave my prepaid cashapp card to them as I didn’t trust having my main card in their system. And my suspicions were correct. They signed me up for a long term agreement and didn’t give me “paperwork” just had me “sign the waiver” by “signing the pen pan” and after my few weeks in town were up and I left I received a $75 fee attempted to be charged on that card. When I called the manager told me it was my monthly memebership fee and my “yearly upgrade dues” considering I’d only signed up for a month I was confused as to why I was getting extra charges only to find out the “waiver” I signed on the own pad was a 90 day contract which i never would’ve agreed to knowing I was only in town for a few weeks. It took me weeks after the 90 day agreement to get them to stop trying to charge my card for continuous months of membership after the agreement ran out. Then after 4 months of no charges from them they randomly started trying to process payments for different amounts on my card and no one will answer the phone at the gym to explain why that happened.

This place is shady and run...
