LA Fitness

This LA fitness was my first visit to any of their locations. I came as a guest. The swimming pool area is very nice and the sauna is also very nice.
The locker rooms very upscale and everything was superclean. I only encountered a couple employees but they were all nice and helpful.
This location is about a 20 minute drive or so from my house or my office and that is why I have not joined.
I haven’t paid to use it but it seems like it might be fairly expensive also.
I have joined a gym close to my office it is a you fit gym and it’s 10 bucks a month and the equipment is every bit as nice.
In my opinion what you’re paying for here is partially attitude and partially not to mingle with the other people who go to the $ 10 gym…
It’s a nice place and if you have the money and the ability to get there you should do it

I’ve been a member since December 2014. I work out 3 to 5 times a week and have used 4 gym locations of LA fitness. I have to say this location is by far the most filthiest gym I’ve ever encountered! Some one will get deathly sick from this place one day! The equipment has dirt accumulated what looks like months, so gross! Old sweat drippings are so gross to look at when working out, not wanting to put anything in the cup holders because of tissue, wrappers, crumbs of who knows what. The ladies locker room stinks and the lockers inside is disgusting. It is truly remarkable how it’s obvious no one gives a crap about the cleanliness of this place, I will never be back at this gym because I’m seriously afraid of getting sick from there!

I’ve been working out at this location for a couple months now and for the most part I am satisfied. The facility is very nice with plenty of cardio and weight equipment. I haven’t had any issues with their customer service, so far they have been polite and courteous. The complaints I have are minor: they are ALWAYS busy. I usually get there around 9:30pm and I am always surprised at how packed the place is considering they close at 11:00pm. I’ve never had to wait for the cardio equipment but there have been several times where I had to wait for other machines. Not a major issue, just surprised at how busy they are near closing time. I have gone at other times during the weekends/​week days and they seem to stay busy. Also, too many clowns are there just to hang out — they sit at the machines not working out talking to their friends.
For the price and convenience, this is the best gym in the area.

Been working out here when I’m in town over a year/​nice friendly staff and great hours

I would highly recommend trying another facility. Upon signing up, they mislead me into thousands of dollars of useless sessions. This was supposed to be a pleasant/​healthy experience. However their staff is unhelpful and very poorly trained. They’ve essentially hired bodies (no pun intended). Do as you wish, but buyer beware! STAY AWAY!!!

This is an excellent facility to work out in. Plenty of weights and plenty of space. The only negative comment is the customer service. This gym has the worst customer service I have experienced in a gym. They seem to busy texting or talking behind the counter to say hello or have a good evening. This is a huge issue for me. If management fixes this, LA would be the best all around gym in the area.

This is my home LAFitness location, so I may be a little partial. Although there are two newer ones I’ve been too, I always feel most comfortable here. I try to go mid-​day because the crowd is unbearable during ‘after-​work’ hours. They have a variety of cardio and weight machines and I rarely have to wait for any. The ladies locker room is roomy and always clean. I haven’t tried out their steam room or pool, but may in the future. The staff is extremely helpful (from adjusting machines to assisting with correct form of an exercise). They were pushy in getting me to complete the initial assessment, but once done they just wave ‘hello’ when they see me. LOL! Between the staff and gym regulars, I always feel like I’m amongst cool, nice people and enjoy my work-​out. Occasionally the music, from evening classes, is too loud and I can hear it over my own music (with both earbuds in). The basketball courts are like new. Only real complaint is about the smooth bar. There is usually someone different working every time and there is no consistency with the smoothies I order (same one every time). The last few times I’ve ordered, the smoothie has been horrible and grainy.

Luv this gym!!!

always packed

I just got back from a 4 month hiatus in California and I got bit the fitness bug. So as soon as i got back I had to find a gym. I found that LA Fitness just opened and they had a 14 day guest pass. I got the pass and was hooked.

I have been here 35 times in like 2 months, it’s legit!

Just as a heads up to my fellow Unilocalers: I may not be the best person to rate this gym; not only is it the only gym I have ever been a member with but the gyms I have been attending during the past 6 years have either been on a ship that I lived on or a base I’ve been stationed on. So in comparison, LA Fitness is paradise with exercise equipment! lol
I have been going here for almost a year and have never had to wait my turn to get on any of the exercise equipment, nor have I ever had to squeeze into one of the group fitness classes. There is an ample amount of everything and they have big screen TVs strategically placed that keep a steady flow of diet and exercise tips and strategy going. There’s a jacuzzi by the pool as well as a dry heat sauna in the locker room.
I have to take away 1 star though due to them obviously being understaffed. There have been a few times that I wanted to have a personal consultation with one of the fitness instructors and no one could accomodate me because they were either all busy or haven’t yet arrived. For me, that isn’t much of a big deal because my fitness goals include simple things like muscle tone and increased flexibility; all I desired was a professional opinion to guide me along. But for those of you who are in search of serious goals such as weight loss, diet advice, etc, it may behoove you to call ahead and set a few future appointments with one of the instructors. There may not be many of them, but they do know what they are doing. The classes are always high energy and fun (except yoga of course) and they always provide lower level versions of the exercises while enthusiatically encouraging you to challenge yourself with the higher levels… unless of course you are physically limited i.e. bad knee, weak wrists, etc.
I pay about $ 40 a month for unlimited use of everything including their large variety of group fitness classes. It’s not as easy on the pockets as $ 10 a month at Planet Fitness but hey, we all know the saying in regards to paying for quality.
If they would hire more people so that they could better accomodate their clients and add a smoothie bar (I personally vote Tropical Smoothie!!!), then they’d get a full 5 stars from me. Other than that, no complaints!

Too bad they are not 24 hrs. Otherwise it would be amazing!!!

L.A. Fitness recently opened in the former Sports Authority space. I’m really glad L.A. Fitness decided on this real estate because it really helped to revive the shopping center. This one story facility has a really large group fitness area. Zumba, Pilates, Boot Camp, among other classes are taught here throughout the week. There are 3 racquetball courts as well as a basketball court. YOWSAH. They have separate room for spinning classes with very nice bikes. The fitness equipment are organized based on areas of the body. Cardio equipments are in the front. There is a daycare area that’s available for certain hours throughout the day. There is a pool and hot tub as well as steam room. Overall, it’s pretty consistent with other L.A. Fitness, but the newness factor is a bonus. holla!
They are currently pretty well staffed. Hopefully the facility will continue to be maintained and immaculate. It’s not 24 hrs, but it’s opened until 5– 11 M-​T, 5 – 10 — F and 8 – 8 S-​S. Peace!
