Best Gym near Fountain-valley, California

After being a platinum member for 2 years , I went out of the country for 6 months I froze my membership as per the contract I am liable to get it extended, The manager when I asked him to freeze it before I leave he told me he did ... it was not the case I received an email that my renewal is coming sooner meaning it was not frozen promptly ! Moreover, when I came back and I asked again + the same manager ) he told me both requests were denied by the corporate you'd have to contact them I sent an email and I'm waiting now . - the gym has lost great instructors Terrance was the last one to quit after they become aggressively rude and demanding ! - steam room has been down for 2 months and when I asked when is it gonna be back again they said 6 months or so 😳 - the machines and treadmills need fix and are UNSAFE to operate ! They are totally ignorant -The cleaning level has gone crazy below any gym standards even below crunch FV and planet fitness , not to mention if you visited any of the LA locations you'd be surprised by how dirty everything is I'm a local guide , I'm not renewing my membership! If you still wanna go for any ongoing or upcoming promotion BE MY GUEST, YOU'LL REGRET IT , if they treat the loyal clients who paid a lot for training in such a manner , how do you think they are gonna treat a newbie !!!!

As a long-time member, I completely agree with the recent negative reviews. Dirty, neglected, in ill-repair, and finally closed out of necessity for public safety. I'll save the owner some time: Thank you very much for your feedback, owner. It is important for me to use a clean, comfortable and well-equipped gym, so this is disappointing. I am working to find a better gym to improve my experience in the future.

Late night power lifting sesh: Wow 8-10 squat racks?? I think this is a record I've seen and I am so thoroughly impressed lol Although, you can tell it's a bit too much because each rack doesn't have that many plates and you gotta start borrowing from your neighbors. Which isn't a big deal Besides that I LOVE LOVE LOVE that its actually open 24 hours

This is by far the worst gym I've ever went to. The place is dirty, most of the equipment is either broken or unusable, and the employees clearly don't enforce re-racking rules so good luck trying to find the thing you need. I also had an issue with the late night cleaning guy as he was making me wait on every machine I wanted to use and would dust around them getting my personal items dirty to the point where I had to say something to him and he basically told me that I, as the customer, need to wait for HIM to be done cleaning before I can use something. As I addressed it with the guy working the front desk, Leslie, was on the same page as the cleaning guy and showed literally no customer service whatsoever. I wrote an email to address the issue and never received a response which clearly shows management doesn't care at all about their customers. It's too bad this is one of the few gyms open late. This place needs to just shut down. Update: apparently the management response is just for show as I sent an email two weeks to that address and still received no response. What a wonderful place.

this gym is always dirty. it's not fair to put the entire blame on the gym staff. the clientele here is mostly responsible for the filth. the parking lot is full of empty coffee cups, fast food garbage and what ever the people throw out of their car onto the pavement. the mens restroom does smell, but there is no excuse for the urinals always be littered with gum and paper towels. every time I use a machine and want to set my phone in the holder, I have to throw out wads of paper towels. these people here are pigs. I go to la fitness in seacliff and there is no garbage in the parking lot. I wonder why.

I attended the Los Cab Sports Village PPA (Professional Pickleball Association) Takeya Tournament. The club has completely transformed their pickleball courts and gave it a much-needed face lift. The tournament was well-run and well-attended, and I couldn't ask for anything more. The courtside seating at the championship court was plentiful, and I scored seats that were next to the players' benches. I was able to sit 2 seats away from all my favorite pro players and hear their conversations and strategies! It was an incredible day!

Lots of pickle ball & tennis courts but facilities is out dated. No steam room, one out door jacuzzi, smelly bathrooms. Tennis desk is unresponsive & didn’t keep track of court availability. Tennis court lights are so bright, noise from pickle ball courts are so annoying. Don’t come here for tennis, lots of better facility nearby

Los cab is a friendly, robust sports village. Lots of pickleball courts, a large swimming pool, store and a cafe. We enjoy meeting new people and working out at Los Cab The prices are very reasonable and lots of parking places Go and enjoy

Part time members of tennis club. Great place to play though pickleball is starting to take over.

Huge swimming pool with multiple lanes. Brought my little girl here to learn to swim. Not for the public. The pool is shared with the gym and Nova swimming company. Very tempting to get in though :)

Today I went to register and take have my picture taken. The one girls working, who I will add is exceptionally respectful was busy assisting a member. The assistant manager “David” stood there engaging in casual conversation for a couple minutes when he finally asked me “I’m sorry, do you need help”? Upon after taking my photo and asking him for a lanyard attachment to check in he David told me “I’m not giving you one”. I’ll mind you my husband , who was the one who signed me up, just received one from the nice girl working the day before. When he explaining this to David he told me “yeah, they weren’t supposed to do that and I’m not gonna give you one”. After already feeling extremely unwelcome I told him I am going to ask the manager to make sure this is true and explain to them your rude behavior. David told me “ here you set the tone. Welcome to Fountain Valley ! “ I, have always assumed Fountain Valley to be a family oriented friendly community, but I couldn’t help but wonder after this exchange, is the assistant manager at Fountain Valley Planet Fitness Gang related? I went to look around the gym I just become a new member of when finding out the massage machines need to be turned on by the workers. Upon returning to ask how I could use the equipment David informed me he was going to cancel my membership after I use the massage chairs. That is when I decided to leave the gym and passed on using the massage chairs not only out of feeling insulted but of fear of David’s strange, unprofessional behavior. I couldn’t help but wonder if I was being discriminated at against and if was David’s behavior racially motivated. When I got home I made the decision I no longer wanted to be a member of Planet Fitness and decided to call to assure David did indeed cancel my membership. This is when he told me “oh I just temporarily blocked you from coming here for breaking company policy”.l and proceeded to hang up the phone. I have contacted the district manager and have attempted am waiting to speak to the Manager Marco Flores as he has yet to be available. If you are looking for a gym to become a member of that is friendly and has professional management DO NOT GO TO PLANET FITNESS IN FOUNTAIN VALLEY while the assistant manager “David” is still employed/if you are African American as you will be highly disappointed.

Either the girl always has this expression on her face or not. But she is not very friendly and looks straight at the guest. This is just too much. They did not give locks on the storage box and in general the atmosphere at the reception is very repulsive, no vibe and absolute hostility on the face.

I really like hitting the gym. This location is closest to my house, has adequate parking, the hydromassage where you can actually lay down flat. The other locations have one where your body sits in a z shape and not nearly as relaxing. A couple of the workers at the front are kind and friendly. I forgot their names, but they are good kids. In general the people in the place are decent working out and cleaning the machines when they use them. Occasionally someone needs a shower desperately badly. But I don't suppose that's the staff's responsibility. Five stars. Don't listen to all the whiners on here with their one and two star reviews!

my favorite PF. respectful staff, clean environment, good music and nice equipment.

The general manager was really rude. My girlfriend hurt her ankle and cannot work out as much. I am her guest. She will do what she can and then she will wait for me while I finish up my workout. The general manager said that she cannot be in there waiting for mewhile I finish up my workout. I don’t understand when we pay money to be here and then to be told that we cannot be there for no apparent reason.

Good gym for the price. Large parking lot but can get filled up during busy times. 3 full racks, 3 bench press, lots of free weights and decent machine selection. The gym floor layout is good, there's a sufficient amount of space between equipment and generally you don't have to wait for equipment. Nice to have a sauna there but it is typically pretty busy and can get uncomfortable with that amount of people in a confined space.

Some of the machines need to be maintained better Including the elliptical. But what gives this the one star rating is the hot tub. That thing is disgusting People literally sit in the sauna get all sweaty and Then hop into the hot tub Without a showering before. It’s absolutely disgusting and needs to be addressed. People don’t shower before they get into the water they instead get in all sweaty and nasty turning that hot tub into a soup of bacteria It’s absolutely disgusting.

I love coming to this club to workout. It’s really close to my house and has all the machines I need to workout my entire body. But the most notable thing here is the staff. The front desk staff are always so welcoming; special shoutout to David and Matt, always here when I come to workout and greet me with the warmest welcome. 100% would recommend.

I went to this LA fitness on Saturday the 7th of December at around 11am the guy at the front desk was busy on his phone when he finally acknowledged my presence he wasn't able to answer any of my concerns. The gym is small and dirty the staff is no where to be found I WON'T GO BACK THERE AGAIN!!!!

I had a great experience. Chris, the Fitness Director, was very helpful and professional. He went above and beyond to make my experience pleasant. My training session with him went very well, he is very knowledgeable. I felt at ease and learned a lot. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family. I’m a new member and I’m happy with my experiences here. Thanx Chris.

I am new to yoga, and I took a morning class with Gaby at Crunch! I really appreciate her being so welcoming and kind, and she took the time to check on everyone in class. Her instructions were clear, and she takes the time to demonstrate each step. I really appreciate her demonstrating the modifications that could be done for each step as well. I really appreciate her promoting a healthy mindset too! The guy who helped me at the front desk upon check in was also really welcoming as well! There was also a really friendly man I met in my yoga class, so there are some really nice people here! Plenty of parking at the gym as well. ;)

Really awful experience today. I tried the gym today with the guest pass and I was here for 15 minutes and literally left. I was a loyal member of the Chamblee Georgia location for years and it was a thousand times better. This location has very poor lighting and it feels very dark and there's hardly any cleaning stations anywhere to wipe down the equipment. Sad. I'm not coming back.

Crunch Fitness Fountain is a great gym. It’s very clean and the classes are fun. Special shoutout to Liseth the trainer. I told her my goal was to lose weight and get my health on better track. I trained with her for 3 months / 3 times a week. I lost a total of 14lbs which is amazing! I tracked my calories with MyFitnessPal based on her recommendation and ate a certain amount of protein based on what I went over with Liseth. She challenged me and pushed me to do things I never thought I could accomplish. She was very encouraging and supportive throughout my training. I learned a lot on how to properly use the machines at the gym. I gained confidence over time as I used to find the gym quite intimidating. Thanks to her I have been able to continue to push myself at the gym. I highly recommend this gym and training with her if you have the opportunity.

Shout out to Liseth and my pilates instructor Ms. Tena B. Thank you for gracefully introducing me to the gym rhythm. I am no spring chicken and I wanted to incorporate strength training. I mentioned to Ms. Liseth how weights were intimidating to me, she gave me options recommended a class with plates and weights. Ms. Tena was 10/10, very welcoming and kind. Super excited for my journey. Thank you.💯

BEWARE. I haven't been using the gym for the past year and got charged with a annual fee the night before. I decided to make the decision to cancel the next day and lo and behold. They will not refund, due to my contract agreement. I should of listened to online reviews before I joined. Y'all should do the same too. It's 2024, and MOST subscription based services would offer a refund as long as you didn't use the service. ie Amazon. By all technicality, sure, I took too long and I'm now paying for it. I do not appreciate how the attitude was talking to the representatives of Crunch employees, they throw the rule book at you as if their life depended on it. Trust me guys, do your research and you can see far worse complaints than mine. Steer clear. IMO this ain't it. Enjoy my $60 crunch, you won't see me again and your terrible contracts and you probably lost more money from people seeing this review.
