While not a mass-market application, if you are a member of LA Fitness you may very well find this new app worthwhile. Most gym goers typically just go to the same location all the time and never do much of anything else. But if you travel, are involved in tournaments, use personal training, or other amenities then this app can come in really handy.
For me, I have one facility that is rather close to the house but I play racquetball with a friend at a different facility. Trying to schedule a court has required calling in, waiting on hold, getting someone on the phone, having them log into the reservation system, look up available times, take down your bar code, enter your reservation, and then let you know its in the system. The process takes anywhere from a few minutes to ten minutes depending on hold times. With the LA Fitness app, I can now make a court reservation in about 20 seconds.
Starting off you have a screen that shows your favorite clubs and a VIP list where you can invite friends to visit an LA Fitness center to check it out.
The Search tab is very handy when on the road and you want to find a local facility. The search function will use your current location to find facilities near you. You can even look up locations by services provided such as group exercise, amenities, and leagues.
Under the Services tab you find your account information, member services, checkin history, court reservations, and personal training appointments. When you schedule a court, the system sends you an email with a calendar invite which makes it easy for you to then invite your buddies to join you for a game.
The LA Fitness app is now available for both Android and iPhone users for free and certainly is a nice value add for LA Fitness members who routinely use the LA Fitness facilities and services.
