Best Gyms with Cardio Machines near Los-angeles, California

Good facility, nice when the class room is free in the mornings. But the air quality in the treadmill/machine area is awful. I mean its great if you like smelling body odor, the bad breath of the person on the treadmill next to you. Like a crowded locker room. Management does not seem interested in fixing the problem, I've mentioned multiple times, employees are not empowered to adjust the AC accordingly. Not healthy and just gross. Every other gym I've belonged is generally cold BUT the air is clean --- this ones the opposite. PS: Just cancelled via their online system. They FORCE you to pay for one extra month when you cancel. Golds... contributing to why gyms get a bad name. So.. if you want to cancel, do it in advance!!!

I really appreciate the atmosphere at Gold’s Hollywood which starts with how staff interact with guests. They recently renovated the entire gym with new equipment and revised floor plan. The guests working out are easy going and cool to interact with. I avoid downtown because of the way some guests are allowed to act a fool there. Some constructive feedback is, before the renovations there seemed to be more cleaning of floors, mirrors, and equipment. I now find dust / dust bunnies more often and weights don’t seem to be put back in place as often leading to time spent on scavenger hunts. Both of these points are why I’ve been avoiding the downtown location… it’s the worst for needing to go on a scavenger hunt for free wights or other equipment. Overall, this is a great gym and I’m glad they make the space as welcoming and enjoyable as the do.

This is my favorite gym I’ve been a member of. Not only do they have well maintained and up-to-date equipment and facility, but they keep the facility and the changing rooms clean. The workout layout is very efficient. They offer the best dance class I’ve ever seen in a gym, and I have to mention the steam room, a life changing experience for after workout self-care. My only minor point is, do not loose anything, because stuff disappears from the Lost-and-found, even when another member brings it to the staff. Then again, just don’t loose anything at any gym…

Gold’s Gym front desk employees have always been friendly and helpful. I’ve been a member of a handful of gyms during my lifetime and it seems most of them were lacking in that respect. Those gyms would make me feel like I was bothering them when asking a question. It’s refreshing to not feel like that at Gold’s. The gym’s equipment is always in good condition. The women’s locker room is the cleanest I’ve ever experienced. And I mean that on a consistent basis.

So happy I took the plunge and joined Golds. The gym is spacious, clean plenty of exercise equipment. There are so many classes to choose from with various levels and various times of the day so I have no trouble finding classes to fit my schedule and fitness level. The staff there is Very helpful very welcoming. A special shout out to the manager, Karen.

Overall this gym is not bad. I’m giving it 1 star because as someone that comes when the gym opens (6:30am weekdays and 9am weekends), roughly 20% of the time, the opener is not on time. Whether it’s a scheduling issue or they overslept, I don’t know, but they’re often 30min to hours late. This is especially annoying when I force myself to wake up early to try and get a workout in before work. Everyone would rather sleep in but we make an effort to go to the gym early because of life obligations and responsibilities. It’s incredibly frustrating when you’re on a time crunch and the business doesn’t open when they say they would. If this happens once or twice it’s excusable, sure, but this happens all the time. I’ve talked to the manager, he’s apologetic and assures that changes will be made but it keeps happening. I don’t know what else to do but to voice my frustrations here. Touchstone has also raised membership pricing a few times since I’ve joined a little over a year ago, but the quality of my experience has gotten worse. As much as I love these gyms, I may have to start finding a new gym to go to as Hollywood boulders/touchstone clearly don’t respect their members.

This climbing gym is absolutely great with so many amenities. The only downside is the limited parking. There’s a small lot behind the gym and street parking. Keep in mind that this is in between the main street and the neighborhood so you may have to drive around for a couple blocks before you find parking, especially during busy times. There’s a huge variety of bouldering walls of different grades for every type of climber. They also have a gym, both strength training with weights on the first floor and cardio machines on the 2nd floor. They also offer a variety of classes like yoga, etc. The bathrooms are also really nice and clean, with showers and a sauna.

Visited this gym a long time ago when I was in LA. Decided to drop in again for a quick climb. Staff were friendly and got me setup real quick. The route setting was fun with a range of styles. Comp style, technical and great beginner routes available. Would definitely swing by again / check out the other Touchstone gyms to see how the other facilities compare.

I’ve been a member here for over 2 years. HB has a lot to offer for a bouldering gym! Huge variety of problems, compact but solid weight area, only at peak times I’ve had a short wait for my desired cardio equipment. Some yoga classes offered. Solid saunas. Many people come with friends but I prefer a solitary workout, which is respected, I’ve only been beta sprayed like once a year. Diverse crowd, nice to see some fellow LGBT folks every time. A few reviewers are upset about this which seems ridiculous, half or more members seem not to fall into that category. When the lot is full, I’ve never spent more than 10min total looking for a spot then walking to the gym from it. Stanks a bit inside, but I wouldn’t expect it not to. Suggestions for improvement: -Have staff utilize the tandem spaces -Liberalize the guest pass policy—a friend got me hooked as a guest years ago, but now it’s steeply priced except select days -Some small loyalty perks would be cute!

Great rout setting's! The only minus are the rental shoes. Plus for the rental chalk!

Love this location! Super clean and orderly equipment. Oleh is the fitness manager at this location,you can tell he keeps a quality staff and clean location. I’d love to train with him once he has availability.

Kevin is an exceptional employee, and trainer/ instructor at Fitness 19. His expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment to the customers are truly unparalleled. Kevin's a good worker, innovative, and tailored to individual needs, ensuring that everyone from beginners to advanced athletes can achieve their fitness goals.

The cleanliness is maintained, front desk is courteous, friendly and accommodating. Instructors are approachable. machines are clean, updated. i would like to suggest that there should be more classes in mid afternoom mid morning to accommodate more fitnesd buff, Generally the location ..is accessible and affordable and it is a better idea to give discount to seniors. Thanks!

I have been a member at F19 in Eagle Rock for over five years. I've taken boxing and fitness training with Jermaine, whose motto is actually my motto: "The only easy day was yesterday."That means that you should always keep challenging yourself. Jermaine is a pro boxer, and pardon the pun... he doesn't pull any punches! He's honest, direct, motivational, focused, exceptionally strong, very confident, and challenges us like none other. - Herb

So the good news is this gym is affordable, parking is easy peezy, and the hours are pretty good. The bad news is it’s always crowded and isn’t always in the best shape. The personal trainers are great. That’s the best part of this place. Alejandra is who I see and I’d recommend her to anyone at any level. She will match you where you are at and adjust as you go. Empathetic, kind, knowledgeable, will make you reach your goals. Zero pretense. If the gym makes you uncomfortable at all, she will make you feel at home. Here is where I am taking off stars though. Recently, the gym installed a huge blue and white neon light in the personal training space. I can’t stand this thing. It literally hurts my eyes and makes everyone look like they’re in a morgue or something. Like, have you wanted to look even more ugly when you’re working out, cause this thing will make that a reality. I’ve asked if it’s dimmable at all and everyone is disappointed when they tell me that it isn’t. Please, Fitness 19, I’m going to need you to find a way to travel back to 1985 and give this thing back to the club you stole it from. 😵‍💫

Do not get a membership at this establishment!! They will keep debiting your account every day! I also had my card locked last night and they still took money out of my account! Then I call for a refund and to cancel the membership and the lady Monica told me she couldn’t do it. I had to wait for the manger free to get there instead. I’m highly pissed off! How is there no manger or supervisor at the business to process refunds? So they just have workers opening and closing with no supervision? I want ppl to know not to trust this planet fitness especially since I have to go through all of this for a refund! I will be reporting this business to every thing I can because I shouldn’t have to wait for my own money when I never stepped foot in this establishment! Do better and have a dam supervisor on site, smh

I love the total body enhancers feel reenergized after my work out.

This planet fitness is very chill. it has it moments of chaos. meaning it's packed people working out and a lot of movement. staff is chill, too. usually I go in the morning,morning. very clean and nice *updated review* I used to love working out here. Used to, know there's a lot of homeless in the bathrooms,using the lockers. high schools kids loitering the machines. Most of them sit there and don't workout. But they use their phones to kill time on the machines. It was a chill cool place. Now is dirty bathroom stalls are always used by homeless people and showers. The main problem is management. They don't care or would say anything to the homeless. I really thinking of closing my membership. If you don't believe me stop by a Tuesday around 3:00 you will see.

Amazing location. Staff is attentive and the equipment is always functional. Time for an upgrade with the treadmills. Thank you!!!

Worst location ever! First of all there’s a bunch of crack heads in the parking lot. Second the security this planet fitness has is always getting high or just chilling in the front table and always on the phone. I almost got attacked by a black man who was trying to get fresh with my 16 year old and where’s is the security? Oh that’s right inside sitting down using his phone with his feet up! Third there are some machines that are broken and have been like that for the past 6 months. Planet fitness do better!

The Griffin Club Los Angeles is a great spot for those seeking a mix of fitness, socializing, and relaxation. The facilities, including the tennis and pickleball courts, are well-maintained, and the fitness center is modern and fully equipped. The pools are a highlight, offering a perfect escape on sunny days. The dining options are solid, though the menu could use a bit more variety. The ambiance is upscale yet welcoming, making it a pleasant space for members to connect. However, the membership fees are on the higher side, and at times, the club can feel a bit crowded during peak hours. Overall, it’s a wonderful club with plenty to offer, but there’s room for small improvements to make it truly exceptional.

This place was awesome. Although I was just a visitor... if I lived in LA I would make it my home. The staff was amazing and efficient and the food was nice. Just a great environment

Too many kids running around, amenities not that great. Management doesn't care about the staff - They get paid the lowest. Had a server telling me how half of their gratuity is being taken by the club and they barely make anything in tips.

Excellent day for the pool in LA with the Balakrishnan family!! The pool was warm and the drinks COLD!!

I initially got a membership for tennis and they lied to me about having quiet spaces and tennis program for older teens. I went to the club to get work done and all I could hear were children shouting and screaming. When trying out their “older tennis teen class” (supposedly with 17,18 yr olds) it was actually filled will 11 year olds…and was told that the only other tennis class option was a live-ball session with older men…The initial fee was 2,000 before even paying for the membership…def not worth it unless you only go in the morning or are a mom with kids that need to be entertained…It feel like your at a children's play park more than half the time and the food is mid for the amount you pay for a membership.

This is my favorite gym of all time. I’ve done 24, Gold’s, and LA Fitness over the years and it’s not even close. I signed up in 2015 when it was David Barton then came back in 2024 - wish I did it sooner! IconFit’s staff not only sets a golden standard for gyms, but also with customer service for business. They are super knowledgeable and make me feel at home. The gym is always clean, has towel service plus refreshing eucalyptus ones, and there is plenty of equipment with usually short maintenance time. Tips to note: - Bringing your own lock will save you time and hassle over borrowing from the front desk ($6 Master Lock Black Combination Padlock for Luggage on Amazon) - 2 hour parking validation on weeknights, 3 if you ask nicely (don’t be shy) - Shower before using the cold plunge (self explanatory…) If you are serious about health and SAVING TIME then this is the place for you.

IconFit was the second gym I joined in Los Angeles and it was about everything you could ask for in a gym. Equipment was always available even while busy and the additional amenities (filtered water machines, sauna, etc.) were great. The best part about the place, though, was the people. It was a joy to be able to come in and talk with friends I've made for a brief moment before heading to work out. Some days I enjoyed coming to the gym just to be able to talk to the gym folks. I'd recommend IconFit to anyone who wants to have a luxurious gym experience in a friendly, personable environment. Thanks for everything!

been going here for years. staff is amazing. i normally go in and just do my thing for 30 minutes then im out. never had issues with anything or anyone. lots of machine variety. great place. my favorite gym ive ever been to.

This has to be one of the best gyms on the west side. Clean, maintained and has the Equinox feel without the high prices. Membership is one third the proce of Equinox. Staff is really friendly. Highly recommend.

I've been a member of IconFit for around 2.5 years. There's a lot to like about it from a personal standpoint: 2 minutes drive or 15-20 minutes walk from my house, easy parking, pleasant aesthetically, and recently some top notch new cardio machines have been installed. It's clean and very convenient and I like how most members are all business about workouts and not standing around socializing as much like at other gyms, such as Equinox. But, and I've addressed this directly with the management without any luck, the volume of the music has increased significantly in the last few weeks. I don't mind a gym playing music but it should be in the background, not overwhelming all the acoustics in the place. There are close to 20 speakers circling the gym floor and at any one time, most members work out a short distance from a speaker. For people to hear the music the gym wants to play (not my kind of music either but I can live with it), it is not necessary to keep it at the current default volume, which is the same level whether I go at 11:30 a.m., 2 p.m., or past 4 p.m. I have tried to see if there is a difference depending on what time I go (there is none). It is simply too loud and it's not a matter of opinion. Sometimes there is such a thing as an objective truth. It's really an unpleasant and unenjoyable experience to go to IconFit now and I am very disappointed the management has not turned down the music, just a little. Not a lot to ask.

Do you like games? Have you played the memory match game? Well then you'll love it here. Try finding the other pair of weights to match the one you are looking for at this gym. This place might of have gotten a remodel, but either or- this YMCA's staff are lazy to clean up the night before ( I was here at 11am- highly doubt someone came early in the morning to make this mess) or I am ashamed of my hispanic community for being this dirty and unorganized and even less-- mindful of others. Either which way, I came here because I was in the area, but sure sucks for who ever comes to this gym because I'll take my self elsewhere.

This gym is not sport club la nor prime time. In the same line with 24 hour fitness gym, club one etc. For $50 per month, it gives great value and plus they validate parking which is very rare in the city. Another plus is that they are fairly brand new with nice steam room and sauna. The bathrooms are clean. I like it. I think I'm signing up!

This place needs new management all mens restrooms were closed not working then the fans are absolutely disgusting clearly not cleaned. Sticking to the one in Torrance.

If You Have Kids, This is NOT the right Gym for your kids. Besides this Gym being dirty and lack of AC in some rooms and the lockers smelling like urine and hairs on the floor; this Gym definitely does not treat family Gym members equally and fairly when it comes to the usage of the exercising facility. My 11 year old kid wanted to exercise along with me in the cycling and treadmill room, but the staff refused my kid's entry because he was under 13, but then the staff said that if I paid $20 extra aside from what we're already paying for "our membership", my kid would have access along with one of their staff no matter the age. Because even seen 5 and 8 year old kids in the cycling bikes as we walked by. I work hard for my money and pay my monthly membership for my kids and myself, and for what? for my kids to not be able to exercise and make a positive healthy use of the money we're paying for this expensive membership! when all they have is access to the babysitting room and the pool. In that case might as well stay home right? The staff at the Wilmington Y are thief's, because I know the one in San Pedro has access to the exercise facility for the kids included with their membership as it states in its contract and as it should be. P.S . WORST FACILITY AND CONS AT THAT!

My son loves to go to the gym here these people are very friendly and they do a great job! Safe place

I've been a 24 hour fitness member for over 10 years but wanted a change of scenery because the one in Northridge is abysmal. This gym is just conveniently located across the street and far exceeded my expectations. I've been to several gyms throughout SoCal, Vegas, and Phoenix, and found that this was definitely comparable to the nicer gyms I have been to. There are 6 squat racks on the right side of the gym but it's interesting because the barbells are by Escape, but they have a hammer strength rack, and American fitness plates. Lol. There are also 8 more squat racks in the back of the gym!!! So... there is plenty of equipment. They have a variety of machines here owned by booty builder which I had never heard of before but easily got the hang of once I finally located the instructions per machine. I had never in my life done a standing hip abductor but it seemed fun and definitely felt more helpful than the seated ones. They have one seated hip thrust that's so difficult to work with and 2 standing hip thrust machines that... don't really seem helpful, but they're there. For the rest of the gym, a couple things I also liked: - spa recovery room with 4 massage chairs and TVs - separate fitness room for platinum members - TRX section and turf area - boxing area with punching bags - very clean bathrooms with steam and sauna rooms already inside (so they're same sex if that matters to you) - self-running Assault treadmills (my fave treadmills) - ski machines - filtered water stations Now even though I visited around 4 PM on a Sunday, I imagine it was pretty busy because it's January so people are kickstarting their fitness regimen. Only time will tell how it holds up during peak hours but so far, I have no complaints and look forward to my future visits here. (4/50--2025)

Very impressive entrance:) the gym is basically underground. big shared parking lot with other stores, very convenient. Equipment is kind of old and arranged too closely, but some of the old school chest, should press and hack squat machines are amazing, plus a unique sited abs/oblique workout machine which is really great, the dips machine angle and grip is awesome too, people leave a lot of dirty paper towels in between the machines, I didn’t see anyone carrying a towel and some guys and ladies live a disgusting sweet trace on the workout machines they sit … I think management should ask them to bring their own towels, saw a guy smoking a e cigarette or whatever they call it told one of the staff members he was looking right at him and was king of hesitant to do something … so second time I called him he looked like he went “talk to the member” anyway I know it’s close to CSUN and membership is kind of low and lot of school kids are roaming around , but they should be more disciplined, this sport is all about discipline, safety and health, we just barely recovered from a pandemic … we should expect more from young especially “educated” generation, p.s add some more trash bins. Hopefully we see some progress soon, keep things safe and clean!🙏🏻

Great atmosphere ! Loved it , my friends and I had an amazing great first workout on New Year’s Eve day 2024 , what a way to end the year ! Happy to be apart of the Gold’s Gym family . Super stoked for my new journey here.

They’re certain times of the day when the gym gets too packed or not so busy at all. Getting over there in the morning is the best time before the rush comes. Free weights, machines, the turf (one of my favorites to warm up at), a sauna, and they provide you protein shakes and water. For you protein intake and hydration. They have everything you need from beginner to advance exercises. I have worked out at Gym’s Gold before and I never had any bad experience in the past. This gym here has got everything you need to push your limits. Thank you Gold’s Gym and keep up with the hard work!

Golds Gym in Northridge is the absolutely best gym ever. The set up of equipment is perfect. The steam sauna and hot sauna after my workouts are amazing. It’s a gym spa combo and I feel amazing every time I go. Thank you so much for always the best experience.

Came in to get a workout in and what a booming planet fitness. It is busy however the people move quickly as well. I did not see one broken piece of equipment. Although I was not able to find the resistance bands. I will say in the men’s locker room everything was clean the only thing is the water takes quite some time to get warm. Overall friendly staff super welcoming and a great experience!!! Thanks for having me The Traveling Truck Show

I recently joined PF, and my overall impression is amazing. The gym is clean, and the atmosphere is friendly. I also love how the workout areas are decorated with vibrant colors - it’s both motivating and pleasant to be in. This particular location also stands out among the ones I’ve been to so far.

Manager escorted me out because I’m a guest and was rude about it canceling my membership. Never got a warning and was accused of lying that they did warn me. I’m a chill dude but that was not cool of him.

Just like other branches of planet fitness gyms, this one is very clean all the time. That’s what attracted me to this brand. But more importantly, this branch is open 24 hours/7 days a week. That’s very nice when you’re working odd hours.The parking lot is small though.

I've attended several major gyms in California. I must say without a doubt that planet fitness is the best. Several factors make it so: The place is impeccably kept clean. Secondly, the staff is extremely friendly and warm. Lastly, there is no competition amongst those working out. I truly love the ethos of the gym. What a place.more fun than Disney land!!!

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.

I love going to this gym it’s like my home away from home. The facility is always very clean and the staff is very kind and helpful! Ulises is a great manager and is always quick to help when I’ve had questions relating to my account and is quick to come up with solutions! The gym is very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable to start my fitness journey. I would definitely recommend this gym! 🌟🌟

I have joined numerous gym and Fitness 19 in Sylmar is by far the best. First of all you cannot beat the prices. Great variety of equipment. Top notch. The staff is unbelievably friendly. The gym is clean. Even the people who work out here are courteous wiping off the equipment, and respectful of others. If you join (you will if you are smart) get a trainer. I have an outstanding trainer Miguel who is outstanding. He is always checking up on me, finding where I want to go with my fitness, giving me helpful diet tips, supportive when I F*** up!!!! Yet he challenges me each time. My only regret is that I did not join Fitness 19 years ago. In a little over 2 months I have lost 9 pounds. Thanks Miguel!!

A good gym with all the equipment needed for a great workout. The gym is always being cleaned by staff to maintain cleanliness. The free weights are always well organized. The front desk staff are always friendly and attentive to the needs of gym patrons, especially Destiny, Shayla, and Manny. My personal training sessions with Miguel have helped me loss fat and build muscle. Overall, I love the community feel of the gym and how well it is maintained by staff.

I love working out at Fitness 19 in Sylmar! The staff here really make it a standout gym. Destiny always greets everyone with a warm hello and makes sure to say goodbye as you leave, making every visit feel welcoming. Her customer service is incredible, and she’s always so attentive. Another favorite of mine is Natalie—she was amazing in helping me secure my lifetime gym membership. Her attention to detail and willingness to assist made the whole process smooth and easy. Huge shoutout to the whole team for keeping the gym environment friendly and supportive!

I absolutely love this gym. Where do I begin? The employees are each so great and friendly: Natalie and the rest are all so super helpful and welcoming. And my personal trainer is top notch. She knows her stuff and has been an incredible guide to me. The teachers are really invested in the classes and students. The classes are so fun and everything feels so accessible. Have made lots of friends with the other members. And I love the manager here, such a well-run gym. Just good vibes all around. Clean environment, lots of equipment, welcoming community, proud to have a lifetime membership. I also appreciate how open to every fitness level this community is. I am very heavy set, asthmatic, and was pretty nearly bed-ridden for 10 years and have only recently improved and been able to do activity again. And it feels GREAT. Also, don’t forget about the hydro massage chairs they have here too! I just can’t get enough of this gym.

Probably the cleanest gym I've been to, staff is great and it's not overly busy. They have a ton of equipment and just got a few new items

Everyone is extremely nice. Employees go out of their way to be helpful. Of all the planet fitness gyms in the valley, I like this one best

Really nice gym,Friendly staff,But needs equipment put back in the right place.That and parking a nightmare.

I love my gym because of the great staff.They are all pleasant and professional .I always receive a kind greeting and a nice smile. The vibe is good here.

Great Gym, nice staff, clean most of the time. But they have a mosquito issue. Always getting bit by mosquitos. Front door is usually left open and this might be the issue.
