Best Gyms with Basketball Courts near Los-angeles, California

I was initially planning to switch to another gym due to some miscommunication. However thanks to the exceptional customer service provided by Melly or Melanie, I’ve completely changed my mind. Her dedication and professionalism have truly stood out and because of her, I’ve decided to return to this gym after my current contract ends. Huge thumbs up for her outstanding service!👍👍

Worst gym I have ever been to. One of the ladies who works here does not care about the customers at all. The equipment is always messy or broken. They add so many extra fees to make money. The dumbbells are always all over the place. Plates are scrambled and unorganized. Leg extension machines(all of them) are crooked and slanted. The cable machines are all old and uneven in the upstairs floor. I'll say two nice things about this gym because majority is negative. They have lots of treadmills and the bathroom looks decent. Outside of that, this gym is not good at all. They charged me extra and I got the lady on the phone was no help and said it is not their fault when her co worker was the one that told me my issues here with payment were resolved. I can not make this up, she then proceeds to not answer any calls because she knows what they did is wrong but because its "policy" she can hide behind it and not actually help.

I’ve been charged $108 MONTHLY by Speakeasy Los Angeles, and I just realized they’ve been taking money from my account for months without proper notice. Canceling the membership is a nightmare!!! it's nearly impossible to get in touch with anyone to resolve this. At this price point ($108), I’d rather go to John Reed or another gym that offers more transparency and better service. Now I have to cancel my card just to stop the charges. Feels like a complete scam. Avoid at all costs!

very-very-very bad gym I cancelled my membership 2 months ago, the staff told me that they cancelled your membership. But they lied to me. It turns out that they didn't cancel it. The staff works very badly. I didn't use the membership and didn't come to the gym, but they took my money twice, once $35, once $69. This is not a gym, there are scammers, thieves, don't come to this gym, it's a very, very bad gym, they are thieves. They only know how to withdraw money from your bank card, that's all. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

The gym presents a spacious and stylish environment, with a plethora of equipment ensuring minimal wait times for users. An impressive abundance of restrooms, paired with the luxury of a sauna room, amplifies the facility's upscale feel. However, there are operational shortcomings: a scarcity of water refill stations compromises convenience, while the neglectful etiquette of not re-racking free weights diminishes the otherwise pristine ambiance. The absence of 2.5lbs plates is a noticeable gap in the equipment roster, potentially hampering fine-tuned weight adjustments for serious trainers. Overall, while the gym impresses in its aesthetics and scale, there's room for improvements in functionality and user discipline.

🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🤮🤮🤮🪳🤢🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳 This is a man's locker room, u can see BABY ROACH and look at that keep moving everywhere, YMCA said they were changing locker rooms a few months ago, and I remember you guys put some sign front of locker rooms, but nothing changed Do you guys clean the shower room?? who is the YMCA general manager? Where the hell is the YMCA using their money? And also There are only 5 or fewer fans in this big building, is someone embezzling money? Or is this just letting it go? It's so disgusting 🤢 here I don’t want here membership anymore

I’ve been a member of the YMCA for a while, but after my recent experience with Harrison at the front desk, I’m seriously considering canceling my membership. I went to ask for help with my barcode, and Harrison was unbelievably rude. He told me to go to the YMCA Hollywood location instead and seemed shocked that I was even a member. When I mentioned my account, he asked if I knew the password, even though there’s a photo of me on the account. He didn’t seem to like my attitude and became very impatient and short with me, which is when my attitude shifted. To make matters worse, after this interaction, he deactivated my account without any explanation. The complete lack of professionalism, courtesy, and respect is unacceptable. I expect far better from an organization like the YMCA that’s supposed to value its members. I’ll be taking my membership elsewhere if this is how customers are treated just because you don’t know how to solve a very simple technical issue that sometimes can get frustrating you just don’t tell a customer to go to the next one. That’s not how you treat someone especially in a place like ymca. I have my little cousins that goes there it’s supposed to be safe space for families and kids. I was very very disappointed with how I was being treated.

The people that run this are thieves. I needed to place a hold on my membership and did so online through December. today Nov 2, I got charged for the membership fee! I took screenshot of the hold confirmation email from Oct 15 and my bank screenshot today and hope it takes less than 5 business days to read my email and then finally refund my fee? No excuse for this type of business practice. I won't be going back.

I’ve been coming here for years. It’s very clean, the staff is friendly, they have most equipment I need, and an indoor pool and sauna which I love. That being said, it’s cramped, it’s small, there’s not enough room for as many people go there at peak hours. Another thing that I don’t like is since covid they changed the hours so that it closes at 8 pm, it’s closed for 3 hours in the middle of the day and it’s closed weekends. There is no reason to keep the hours like this from what I see! Overall I like the gym, but please change back the hours

I love there is not speakers and everyone can listen whatever they want in their airpods… there are more space downstairs without using, not using all their potencial

I want there on a guest pass, just to see if I like it. I did not. Club hours supposed to be till 7pm today. I was in the sauna at 6.30 pm when cleaning lady very rude opened the door and told area is closed. So they must start cleaning it at 7pm, instead they interrupted relaxation and this is terrible. All this noise and I was not able to use steam room. Horrible experience and it’s just not I want for myself. Cleaning must start after the place closed not before. So I would never will be a client because behind all clients services this place is trash.

Been at this club since May of 2023. I signed up with executive membership and love it. It’s the most complete club in all of Los Angeles. Not perfect, but it’s close. They have basketball courts, racquet ball, pickle ball, swimming pools, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, a parking structure, cafe, lounge area, work area, a rooftop exercise spot, and much more. You should at least come try it out.

I’ve been a member here since January, and I genuinely love this gym. At first the price tag was kind of painful but now, I spend so much time there it’s worth it. From the new coffee shop and always open tables to work from, the sauna and showers, classes, weight areas, it’s easy to spend 2 hours here a day. I also feel like most people, from the members to instructors to front staff, are super friendly. I genuinely enjoy this gym, and am really glad I joined!

Amazing sport club in LA. I’ve been only to this Equinox and I loved it. I’ve tried some other gyms and this one is my favorite. High quality service, clean spaces, interesting classes and a huge variety of choice! The monthly subscription is very expensive though, but if you can afford it, I think it’s worth it!

I’ve been a member for many years, and in the early days, it was undoubtedly a 5-star facility. The service was top-notch, the place was always spotless and well-organized, and they had the best, most up-to-date equipment. If anything broke down, it was fixed immediately. In the five years leading up to COVID, it slipped to a 4-star experience. Cost-cutting measures became evident — the quality of the equipment declined, cleanliness standards started to drop, and overall service was not what it used to be. Since COVID, it feels like the gym has settled into being a 3-star facility. Cleanliness in the locker rooms, spa, and showers has noticeably deteriorated. Broken equipment or amenities now take weeks to repair, and that’s only after multiple complaints. To be fair, they have upgraded several machines, which is a plus. But there’s a palpable shift in employee attitude — it often feels like they just don’t care. I’ve reported issues in the spa area to several staff members, only to be met with indifference or excuses, as if they’re all just passing the buck. Another major issue with cleanliness is that, to be fair, it’s not entirely the club’s fault. A lot of it comes down to inconsiderate members who leave towels behind in the showers, discard Band-Aids, or leave shaving razors lying around. However, the club bears responsibility for failing to address it. Despite my repeated requests, they’ve refused to confront the issue head-on by making explicit announcements, sending member-wide emails, or posting clear notices around the shower area. A simple, direct message reminding members to clean up after themselves could go a long way, but the club seems unwilling to take that step. If it weren’t for the hottest steam room in town, I would give them a 2 1/2 star.

Perfect value for the price. Family membership for 100$! We signed up because of the swimming lessons for the child, but I also tried swimming - and everything was clean, the pool wasn’t crowded and sauna/steam/jacuzzi were a great bonus too! I like the option of reserving the line. I am not going to be using the gym - it seems a little too crowded and not well equipped for me. But i tried yoga and I will be doing it from time to time.

So me and my son went to the YMCA for first time and I let him swim for one hour but before that I thought that they have dryers and every boys girls women’s and men’s room locker room and there was no thdryers in boys and girls room so my son had to get out of YMCA with wet hair and I’m worried about him to don’t get sick. by the way, when I ask the staff who they were there for help help me they were not they don’t have any good manners and they were rude and they didn’t help me anymore even they dident care. i’m so sorry for this situation. I thought the YMCA it’s the place for the family care and member care and I didn’t know that’s much careless.

Not worth 105$, because classes and swimming pool always full and they will hold your right to reserve spot for classes if you don’t check in with the coat h even though nobody tell you to do that. To cancel your membership you have to email and that takes 30 days to get processed. Insane!!!! Get cheaper gyms with way more benefits. The staff always not helpful and can’t fix anything!!!! Otherwise the facility clean and nice.

This place is always packed no matter what time you go there. The equipment is limited and it's constantly in use so you end up waiting and practically begging for a turn. The most ridiculous part is that there is only one portable fan for all the rooms and whenever you go to the cardio room for example it's not there so you're left struggling to breathe with everyone sweating! They say we have to move it back and forth, sorry! By the way they charge you for the parking daily! And almost impossible to find a spot in the area! On top of that, people are constantly dropping weights and not a single employee says anything when they see that. It's just so annoying and distracting. Not recommended at aaaaalllll!

When the Westside Family YMCA closed down, I became a member of David Barton Gym and then Equinox. Now I am definitely glad to be going to the Collins and Katz YMCA for lots of reasons. The first is it is near me to drive and not too far of a walk as well. I want to mention some people, Kalena is very nice and helpful and patient. Joseph is also very nice and helpful and I enjoy talking to both of them. As for working out I used to not have a routine and so I didn't enjoy going to the gym. A major change happened when I took personal training sessions with Carl. I learned a lot from our sessions, because Carl is a fantastic trainer with lots of knowledge and expertise. Thanks to our sessions, I am going consistently to the gym and I am loving working out and am motivated to see the progress I can make and see great results. So these are my thoughts, thank you and have a great day!

I like that this gym is near by and it has a lot of machine's. But for what you pay the elevator is DISGUSTING !!!! When you are tired and don’t want to take the stairs the elevator is so gross. The stairs are covered in gum. The whole parking lot has never been swept cleaned up or pressure washed a lot of gym equipment needs to be reupholstered. When it rains it’s leaks and there is sections where the ceiling is falling apart. The elevator hasn’t been inspected since 2017. It’s supposed to be inspected every year.

You guys need to get it together. RAT FECES on the floors in the shower, steam and sauna areas is becoming a health hazard. You say you close the wet areas an hour early for cleaning but in the morning the showers, steam and sauna are as dirty as the night before. Same bottle caps and trash on floor in all areas. Steam room smells moldy. Today the sauna smelled like week old sweat and was filthy. They don't enforce the rules in steam and sauna area. People go in fully clothed wearing shoes with makes the areas super dirty and unhealthy to breath. The steam room has been closed for almost a month with no signs of being fixed. The Jacuzzi was not working for 2 months and they fixed it. The steam room went down. It’s very rare that the steam, sauna and jacuzzi work at the same time. They add water to soap dispensers instead of adding more soap. They went weeks without hanging any soap at all. We pay money every month and then a fee once a year for maintenance so you guys should be doing way better and not taking advantage of you costumers. Any CEO, Manager and employee should be embarrassed.

i love many aspects of the speakeasy gym.... lots of great equipment, lovely pool for lap swimming, hot tub, dry and wet sauna , variety of ages and generally not over crowded. Its a great place to go escape the grind of la and take it easy at the speakeasy.

I only go here because they have a plethora of machines to use, but besides that, this gym is absolutely filthy, disgusting, and gross. They never clean the bathrooms, there’s always something leaking from the ceiling, the steam and sauna are always broken, there’s rat poop in the bathrooms that sits there for weeks. Treadmills are out of date and some of them are falling apart and machines go broken and take forever to fix. They took away their beautiful dance studio and hot cycling room and their smoothie bar. This gym use to have character to it, but the new owner just stripped away everything creative about it. Also, the parking lot is filthy with broken glass and trash everywhere. Wish this place would just do better on the sanitation part of it. Also customer service is lacking a lot.

This is definitely a place to come get ripped, enjoy the view of the mountains. There is a personal trainer/Manager named Edwin who is very knowledgeable of all the equipment and recourses the Gym has to offer, including 3 floors, swimming pool and much much more. There are also various other locations in the area.

This gym is horrible. There are no toilet seat covers or toilet paper in the bathroom. The gym needs a good cleaning for months and no one has done anything about it. The neon lights are just to hide the dirt. If they were white lights, no one would even train there. There is a total lack of commitment to the people who are registered at the gym. It is also impossible to cancel the plan. I`m living in other state and they are imploring me to go to Van Nuys cancel the membership, horrible! I`m sharing my last time that I went to the gym and took some photos of the male restroom

If I can place negative stars on this gym then I would. This specific location is the dirtiest gym with the worst customer service ever. Whoever the girl that works the front during the day and the guys that work the evening are the worst people I've ever spoken to. I called this gym to cancel my membership when in reality it was supposed to be cancelled a year ago until I noticed a charge on my account. I called to confirm the cancellation and told me I had to go in person to do it. I asked to speak to the manager and they told me the manager would be there the following day. I called the following day and the front desk girl told me they don't have a manager and was extremely rude about it. I don't know who the hiring staff is on this payroll but I really question their judge of character. TIP: Don't ever let them bully you into going into the gym to cancel your membership because I called a different location who was more helpful. They were able to process my cancellation. Overall, this company is such a scam.

I like how spacious this gym is and they really spread out all the machines so that’s a plus. I love the food/juice area was well!!!! Nice addition. Juan is also so awesome! Best gym employee ever! People should take notes from him!

Do not waste your time signing up here, called yesterday was told I am able to cancel my membership once I had paid my membership fee which I did and to stop by the front desk which I did, than was assisted by a guy who claims he is the “manager” and the “gm” and has a history of making girls uncomfortable. They will not cancel your membership at all, will charge you 3 times the amount you were promised when signing up. I had showed the guy my contract of the cancellation agreement and all he can say was “you can’t cancel until you pay this fee $118 annual fee (which I paid $135 for the annual fee 2 months ago) or you will be denied entry” I looked at my billing inform on my account and they tried to charge me another annual fee which I paid when I had signed up and was told I won’t have to pay again until November. Now I am in communication with my bank to despite any charges from them because this a fraudulent gym. FYI THE BASKETBALL COURT IS STILL NOT OPEN, THE GIRLS RESTROOMS ARE ALWAYS DIRTY, AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, stuff here will literally not help you at all. They have no communication with one another and lack of sense.

I have been coming here for the past 3 years, I enjoy the The convenience of the location of this gym, and how friendly the employees are the thing I’ve loved about this gym is that there is a pool and it’s open year-round. There are enough machines or weights to be able to work out and there are a handful of other things available if you come in and talk with the front desk. What I have seen, is that the equipment has gotten a lot better and there are a lot more lights. It really looks awesome compared to what it was a couple years ago. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to come and check it out

I signed up for their "special" or "trial" but I didn't read the fine print. There are lots of extra charges that go with it. First the monthly fee is higher if you don't provide a routing number. That's outrageous. That I would be willing to brush off bc 15 a month is still a good deal. However the 39.99 maintenance fee is a principal issue. I don't think it's right to charge that and I also don't think it's right to hold people to a years contract if they choose to cancel. I'll be going to my bank over this and if I have to ill get a new card. No time for companies like this. Gym membership should be a flat rate.

I have been a speakeasy member for a while. I love the gym but recently I had a horrible experience with the front desk/administration. My boyfriend was coming to visit for a month and I asked them for options for him. They told me I could either get a buddy pass or even have him sign up for his own membership and then cancel. I ended up doing a buddy pass special during Black Friday. I tried to cancel it yesterday and they told me I cannot as it is a year contract. They completely swindled me and gave me false information. Not only that but when I tried to explain the situation the GM was cold, rude, robotic… no customer service what so ever. She had me email Karen an admin who was equally lacking in customer service if not worse. It is extremely unfortunate that speakeasy fitness is like all the other box gyms that don’t give a crap about their customers and just want money. At the very least they could have apologized for the false information and been kind. Their policy is the only way you can cancel is if you show proof you are moving 25 miles or further away from the gym with a lease agreement or utility bill. Pretty ridiculous policy that they do not disclose when you sign up. Highly suggest finding a different gym unless you want to be locked into them for life much like all other gyms that have horrible policies and customer service like this one.

I'm writing this review on behalf of my daughter, who had a disappointing experience at this gym. She reached out to me to share her experience that day. That the customer service at this location was lacking. Stephanie, who identified herself as the manager, was unable to provide the help my daughter needed to cancel her membership. This was two weeks ago. Today, on 10/19/2024, my daughter received another charge from the Van Nuys location, my daughter has never been to that location. Despite her account being cancelled it was still charged. It's crucial for this gym to offer clear guidance on how to cancel memberships. I strongly urge management to train staff, especially at the front desk, to be more courteous and respectful to clients.

Gym is fine if only you can find the dumbbells in right place or machines not hogged by people on their phones. BILLING is what this review is really about, so read before you signup : They find one way or another to charge you more than monthly fees. Late fees are how they really make money and VERY IMPO TO NOTE : "annual fees are charged twice in a year". I joined in Aug, paid annual fees, paid first and last month and have been paying every month on time. But their billing and front desk makes a mess every time charging wrong card and then charging late fees. That fiasco was barely over, now they are demanding new annual fees even though I barely joined 5 months ago. Both their billing and customer service is horrible on phone and inept in person. I have tried sorting it out in person or over phone, no help, same miscommunication, same overbilled charges. I CANT STRESS MORE THAT BE ON WATCH IN YOUR DEBIT CARD AND CREDIT CARD, THE EXTRA CHARGES THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. Update: I did speak to Alexia twice, once in person when she didn't even allow me to use gym even though the last month was paid up on sign up. She's pretty cold and blunt, won't even let me cancel the contract either . And when I called her again after 3 days, she told me to call Mark at their Van nuys location. Mark turned out to be a total douche on phone, alarmed at my catching their system of sneaking in 2 two time annual fees . He sounded annoyed, discourteous and hung up rudely before offering any resolution. So now I'm going to cancel and dispute with my bank again. Hopefully someone higher in mgmt fixes and replaced these bad cogs causing customers issues and disrepute to the brand

Was super interested in joining and hearing more about what this gym has to offer. I called, asked to speak to the manager, but the guy rushed me off the phone. I was in the middle of asking what time to call back for manager and then he just hung up in my face. I’m going to inquire about a different location for sure because the gym seems super lovely! But sheesh was this guy mean.
