Warning to any current or future LA Weight Loss customers considering prepaying for products or services: rumors abound that certain LA Weight Loss Centers may be closing in the near future. If that happens, you may have a hard time getting a refund or the products you are owed.

According to the LA Weight Loss complaint site, numerous centers are believed to be closing in the near future:

LA WEIGHT LOSS CLOSING LIST

Says KH Poser:

I was an Area Manager for LAWL for the last 2 years. The handwriting is on the wall. …The laweightloss.com website reports that the company has 450 centers open, but it is a lot less than that. They have been closing 20-30 units now for the last several months. Many of the franchise centers were taken back over by corporate in an effort to re-invigorate the brand, but they could not make it work. Many of the centers are doing as little as $2000 a week in sales. When sales are that low, it makes it impossible to advertise…

    Yes I agree with all the statements above! La Weight Loss is in deep trouble! Our paychecks are bouncing, our shelves are empty, our rent goes unpaid, the lights water and phones get shut off due to unsuficient funds! It’s scary, really I think our owner has embesseled all the money these clients put into a weight loss program?

    I paid for a program, then 2 weeks later started working there. After 2 mths became Mgr, 6 mths Later, my Dr caused my Brain to hemmorage, and they let me go.. I was in ICU for 9 days and told me I would have a job when I came back. When I was released to work, told me they did not have any positions available.. Just 5 weeks ago, the girls at the center called me one which had worked for me, and asked me to come in and use my program that I had paid over 600 for.. I started, now they are all losing their jobs and the centers are all closing and no one can get refunds.. I have had issues with LA since I worked there and put all that aside.. Now this.. They are screwing up bad!!!
