LA Fitness

LA Fitness is a large privately-held gym operator with approximately 700 locations across 27 U.S. states and Canada, generating an estimated $1.4B in annual revenue. The company operates multiple fitness brands including LA Fitness, Club Studio premium locations, and City Sports Club.

LA Fitness faces significant federal legal exposure with an active FTC lawsuit filed August 2025 alleging hundreds of millions in unwanted membership fees charged to 3.7 million members, plus a DOJ ADA enforcement action filed October 2024. Customer sentiment is severely negative with BBB rating of 1.1/5 stars based on 471 reviews and Sitejabber at 1.2/5 stars. Despite legal challenges, the company continues expanding with Club Studio growing from 15 to planned 50 locations within 12 months.

About This Rating

What this score means.

Fitness studios are critical anchor tenants that drive consistent foot traffic but face high customer service scrutiny and regulatory compliance risks. Legal issues and customer sentiment problems are highly predictive of lease performance as they directly impact membership retention and expansion plans.

This score of 59 is significantly below the fitness category average of 74, primarily due to active federal litigation and extremely poor customer sentiment ratings.
