Balanced Fitness & Health — Local services in San Diego

I’ve been a member at Balanced Fitness for over a year and have generally had a positive experience with the facility, equipment, and most of the staff — until a very troubling incident involving an employee named Rob Lefort.

During a recent visit, I approached the front desk to report that all of the water stations were out of cups. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, Mr. Lefort responded with visible irritation and dismissiveness. When I politely asked if he could assist more promptly, he became verbally aggressive, told me to leave the gym, and used language that I felt was completely inappropriate for a member-facing environment.

As I was exiting, there was a second interaction where his behavior escalated further. He raised his voice, continued using inappropriate language, and followed me toward the stairwell in a way that felt intimidating and unnecessary.

My husband and I recently moved the La Jolla, California area, and are on a daily workout schedule, and needed to find a fitness facility here. After checking out other facilities in town, we stopped at Balanced Fitness and Health. Rob greeted us and gave us a tour of the facility.
