What that means for you
We did not find a chalk rule anywhere on lafitness.com, so there is no written yes or no.
Some club pages describe a free weights area called LIFT with lifting platforms, but LA Fitness says amenities may not be available at all locations.
Before you go
- Ask the front desk or manager whether chalk is okay in the free weights area, and ask about liquid chalk separately.
- If your club has LIFT platforms, ask whether chalk is okay there.
- Clean the bar and floor when you are done.
