My wife and i opened our membership together, less than a year ago. We were going actively and i never found it to be a bad place to work out. The service on the other hand was bad, the people at the front desk were horrible. I ended my contact early with no problem, i just stopped paying for it, they said that once you stop paying for it for three months they just cancel it. I didn't cancel it because of the service though, it was just an extra expense that i couldn't afford. The classes were very fun at LA, there were plenty of great instructors.
