Basketball leagues are available at every Minnesota LA Fitness club and are included in your membership. Two leagues are offered: recreational and 35 plus. LA Fitness provides time and score keepers, referees and stats. At the end of each season, prizes are awarded for league winners.

Personal Training
All new LA Fitness members are offered a complimentary one-hour personal training session. This session is more of a club orientation than an actual workout, but the trainer does show the member how to properly use various club equipment.

Beyond the complimentary session, personal training is offered at all Minnesota LA Fitness locations for an additional fee. Members must sign a personal training contract. Personal training sessions are usually one-on-one and 30 minutes in length. Fees vary by trainer and club.
