Studio City Fitness

I'm a firm believer in finding the good in people and also in businesses. I also don't like to write negative reviews, only positive ones. But this time I feel I need to warn people of what they will almost certainly experience to just stay away. While I enjoyed going here as a bare bones gym during lunch breaks - because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how nice weights are, as long as they're heavy, you can lift them - but, unfortunately, the owner of this gym does not understand how to interact with people kindly and with respect, who are doing him the honor of paying him for a membership to a place most would classify as a total dump, in a city with many amazing gym options. Not always, but just about every single time I interacted with him, he had to "talk with you about something," which meant an extremely nit-picky diatribe about something not at all worth mentioning that I was apparently doing wrong. One time I didn't shut a door to his liking. Another time, in a hurry, I wore jeans for a brief workout, and so that was a sin, even though 99.99% of the time I always wear gym clothes. Another time he accused me of pooping all over a toilet seat, said that he watched camera footage, and so it had to be me "or the other guy." So, he's basically a Saturday Night Live character, maybe The Gym Downer? The Fussy Gym Owner? All this to say, I had enough and told him he was being nit-picky, which was met with him telling me to never come back. Don't waste your time. It's a lesson in: You get what you pay for.

Make sure to check your credit card statements after going here - Demetri billed me two additional times after charging me for the first membership period, said he would refund me, never has
