Review:
The LA Fitness of League City, Texas, is one of the nicest clubs in the greater Houston area. The facility is spacious and well-lit with high ceilings. Free weights are well-organized in a separate section of the club with exercise machines in another. There are five racquetball courts which are available throughout the day. Reservations may be made one day in advance and are advisable during peak hours in the late afternoons and evenings or over the weekends. There is a basketball and volleyball court, and members are always available for impromptu games.

There are two exercise studios; one for aerobics and another for spin classes. Aerobic classes include offerings like kickboxing, cardio and boot camp conditioning. Dance options include Zumba and hip hop. Aqua fit classes are performed in the pool. There are also yoga and Pilates classes.

Personal trainers appear knowledgeable. The free-weights and weight-training machines are well kept. In more than a year, I've never seen a machine out of service for more than a day. This is NOT the case with the cardio equipment. Treadmills and elliptical machines have been known to have "Out of Order" signs for months.
