Mieko's Fitness Covington

Miekos fitness obviously stuffed the ballet box because they are the worst. I bought my membership before facility was built and it has been terrible since the start. I have complained about defective equipment for three months before it was finally fixed. Absolutely the worst customer service. The teens at the front desk take your name and number and tell you the manager will call you when they come in on Monday and they never call. The teen staff at the front desk changes every few weeks and there is never anyone working on the floor to ask questions. I went in today (9.19.09) to cancel my membership and asked to talk to the manager. The gal at desk paged him and he called on the phone. She explained to him that I wanted to end my membership and he asked her to come to his office and get his signature on the form. He did not even have the decency to talk to me as I had requested. Absolutely no customer service! I give this company NO STARS! Cons: Absolutely no customer service more

This gym is horrible. First, there is no parking, so do not bother trying to go between 3-7 on a weekday. I have been a member to a gym of some kind for about 18 years and this has to be the worst ever, I only keep going to this one because it is the only one convenient. \r \r -There are too many members for the limited equipment they have during peak hours.\r - The so called trainers are for the most part in average to below average shape themselves, I am 38 and most of them are in their late teens to early 20's, and I am positive I am in overall much better physical condition than they are, and I am not what you would call super fit, but I am in good shape and healthy.\r -It is a gym, a place of health and fitness, but yet the staff can be seen going on break and coming back with bags of fast food, this includes the ""trainers'.\r \r Fortunately an LA Fitness is opening soon just across the street. I was a member there in Portland and I loved it, very spacious, great equipment, professional staff and a fair cost. I cannot wait for it to open, I am certain there will be a vacancy where Meiko's is now as there is no way they will last against LA Fitness.\r Pros: Most equipment is fairly new. more

The worst aspect about this gym are the people that work there. The so called ""trainers"" working there are complete sleazebags and for a lack of a better term jerks. These guys are your stereotypical college drop out losers, with massive egos, who care more about commission than your personal fitness. They have NO clue on how to even begin training individuals and I'm pretty sure most of them have never lifted weights in their lives. They are not even remotely muscular or defined. I've seen them give personal training sessions teaching technique that are simply bad, sloppy and sometimes downright dangerous. The trainers are always constantly sizing you up, trying to stare you down, and talking behind your back just because you know how to train correctly and are way more defined and muscular than them. I think a lot of people feel the same way that I do as NO ONE gets training sessions from these guys so they just constantly sit around talking and making jokes. Half the time they are eating McDonalds and Burger King!\r \r Also if you are an attractive female..STAY away from this place. The ""trainers"" will bother you beyond belief. They simply will not leave you alone. So many times I have seen an attractive woman on the treadmill and a ""trainer"" comes up and starts talking to them but the girl obviously doesn't want anything to do with them. I personally know four woman who were bothered so much by these trainers that they couldn't take it anymore and left.\r \r I have gone to this gym for nearly four years and they ALWAYS try and rip me off. They were going to charge me $75 just for a month and I had to speak to the manager who actually made me pay much less. This happens every year. \r \r Luckily, an LA Fitness is coming in right across the street so thank god. Hopefully it'll put these sleazebags out of business. Pros: Brand new equipment, good location, good parking, Cons: Terrible Staff, bad hours, bad rates more
