Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Los-angeles, California

Came here for a shower and the water wouldn’t heat up. Very dirty broken down gross. Now I have to go to LA fitness in Calabasas. This is been a complete waste of time and gas.

Parking lot in the evening is sketchy. Parking is limited. Gym is good.

Great staff, good equipment. Small space but not many people

Really great gym! Came to try it out, Rico was super helpful and kind. It was clean, lots of equipment and great atmosphere. Plus there is no wait for any equipment. Lots of parking, plus 2 showers. Could not ask for more!

I have been going to this facility for a month now and can say that it's one of the nicer gyms I've been to. It's kept up very well in regards to cleanliness and upkeep. The gym itself, while small, has all you could need in regards to cardio and weight lifting. I cannot speak for how busy it gets as I am one of the few nocturnal users(this gym is 24 hours w/ a key fob access) but I truly believe this is a good gym.

One of my favorite gyms I've been to, Mendy and everybody else here is also super nice so you'll definitely feel great at this gym!

The fact that I can come at ANYTIME to the night/day makes this gym perfect! Mendy welcomes everyone with open arms and helps anyone and everyone out when they need it. You will always find it clean and the gym has everything a powerlifter 🙋‍♀️ needs!So happy to be part of the Mendy family!

Scot the owner is a real professional and super friendly man. Love this guy and his gym! The gym has everything you need when it comes to weights, machine's and some of which are very rare to find at any gym! I love that some specific equipments at Mendy's are very therapeutic for heavy lifters and anyone that has experienced injuries (which you won't find at commercial gyms). And the cage area for boxing and MMA is the perfect combo for lifting and cardio training! I highly respect this gym and Scot for everything he's done to create a great environment for sports athletes, bodybuilders, powerlifters, etc. Definitely worth the investment!

there is plenty of gyms out there and of course certain crowds too! my personal experience mendy's gym is very professional in its communication and training in the gym. they everything you need to be a better person of yourself small but great quality when they say this gym is your family they mean it on its your gym and its your family. i live te rules of the gym one is leave ego outside and two come here to be better then yesterday and clean up after yourself 5 out 5! give it a try!

So I've been to other gyms and they just give you a membership and they throw you to the wolfs ..... What I love about Mendy's Gym is that it's a family environment! He knows all his members by name and has personal relationships with each and every one of them....... And Scott ..... With all the accolades and championships that he has is one of the most humbled person I've met..... One experience I'd like to share is one day I got to the gym was working out and I normally work out with headphones because I listen to a certain artist , and Scott asked me what was I listening to then I told him and then he put the artist on the Bluetooth so I can hear it throughout the gym that day ........ Very good place and I love it there! Can't wait to see you guys there!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I want to take a moment to commend Maria Torres, the manager at the newly opened Planet Fitness location in Van nuys,on Sepulveda. From the very beginning, Maria has been an absolute asset to this facility. Her consistent professionalism, warm demeanor, and unwavering courtesy set the bar for what exceptional customer service and managerial leadership should look like. Every time I walk into the gym, Maria greets everyone with a genuine smile and a welcoming attitude. She is always helpful, answering questions with patience and clarity, and never once have I seen her display anything but positivity and professionalism. Maria’s dedication to creating an inviting and supportive environment makes this Planet Fitness stand out. She exemplifies what it means to lead by example, ensuring that both the staff and members feel valued and appreciated. Planet Fitness is lucky to have such an outstanding individual representing their brand. Thank you, Maria, for making every visit a great experience! Lastly, housekeeping at this facility is five star. This facility is super clean and kept tidy even the restrooms.

I've been a staple at this gym literally every day for the most part since the beginning of the year. I can honestly say that this club, its members, and its staff have collectively made it the best experience anywhere in the valley for me in an extremely long time regarding overall health club enjoyment. The staff is fantastic (even though there's a lot of turnover which is unfortunate because I tend to get attached to the employees and they become friends to me). Everyone new who comes in seems to be trained properly and are very good at interacting with the members. Michael and Diana at the front desk are Rockstars. They always have a smile on their face, welcome everyone with a genuine smile and hello, and are extremely hard workers. Maria, the club's mananger is fantastic. She's always available and attentive to people's needs or concerns based on my observations. The club itself is very clean and well maintained. The only issue I ever had was their AC didn't work for quite a few months (working wonderfully now though). I don't take away from my review for this as I know it was not anyone at the club level that could've fixed it sooner. There's definitely a disconnect between corporate and local levels that absolutely needs correcting but again, the staff had nothing to do with that problem so I don't hold it against them or my review of the club whatsoever. They were the ones suffering the most given the amount of time they had to spend in a sweat box each day. (Again, the AC works perfectly now just to reiterate) I've been to plenty of Planet Fitness locations throughout California and in my humble opinion, Van Nuys has the best atmosphere out of all them so far for me personally and I am so proud/happy to call this place my second home!

Planet Fitness is amazing! The place is huge, super clean, and packed with fresh cardio machines. The staff are friendly, and after a killer workout, you get to chill in a massage chair. Membership is a steal. Only bummer is the free weights area could use more space and parking can be a pain at peak times. Totally worth it though!

Me and my girlfriend have been evacuated from the recent fires and have been staying in our car for a couple of weeks. We had the bright idea of using our Planet Fitness black card memberships so we can use the proper facilities. While charging our phones in the black card lounge, the general manager came up to us and told us we cannot sit in the lounge or use any outlets to charge our phones and asked us to leave. She accused us of unplugging some massage seats, which we did not, And told us we can’t sit in the lounge area. After me and my partner told her that we didn’t unplug anything and we just plugged directly into an outlet, she accused us of tampering with the seats by plugging our phones into an outlet. I want to see the scientific data behind this. She was unprofessional and very rude. It’s not our fault that we can’t return to our apartment. This place could’ve easily gotten five stars, but she had a treat us like we didn’t belong there. We will not be coming back to the Sepulveda location and Planet Fitness is not judgment free because as two unhoused people born and raised in LA, we were judged and called loiterers.

This is a pretty good gym with decent late-night hours during the week and a new and clean facility. There's usually always two people at the front desk if you need anything also. Bathroom and showers are well taken care of also. I only wish they'd give black card members 15 minutes on the hydromassage beds. Most of the black card amenities have a 10 minute limit.

Awesome facility, very welcoming staff even for adult beginners with 0 experience Michael and the rest of the staff are amazing and very knowledgeable thank you JAM!

Amazing place to work on a variety of disciplines! I’ve been coming here for years and it’s such a hidden gem in Los Angeles! I learned martial arts tricking here and stunt training as well. The community of people who go here are super positive and friendly. Staff is very professional and warm. This place was instrumental in me becoming a stuntman for many hit TV and film shows! If you haven’t been here, definitely come for dance, martial arts, acrobatics, and stunt training.

Jam is a great place to go meet people and either do basic training or plenty of calisthenics, but if you are going simply to work out I'd go to a regular gym where equipment is more available. Still has a lot of fun with my friends and it's super convenient that it's open late and does not require membership

Great facility. Even greater community. Haven't checked out the classes yet but met a few of the instructors. 1st time here from the east coast and they made me feel so welcome. Will definitely be training here regularly.

JAM is an incredible place constantly filled with incredible people who are always willing to help a fellow out to learn new tricks and get better at everything. everyone there, staff and guests, are always so nice and welcoming and this place has everything and is such a fun place to go. Would 100% recomend ANYONE regardless of skill level go check it out and learn new moves and tricks with the people there.

Every time I work out with this group of people, I am so encouraged! Will, the owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming. He and the other coaches are very conscientious about giving us the best workout possible and making sure we are safe. I have an injury and, they are always very careful to make sure my body is taken care of. When you workout here , it is very obvious that they have a wonderful camaraderie and love to be together. Whoever thought working out, could be fun!

“I visited Los Angeles for the first time and found a CrossFit gym. The coach took great care of me, allowing me to use the gym and providing guidance throughout. However, I will definitely go back, and I really want to say thank you.”

What an awesome community filled with top-notch coaches! Coach William is very welcoming and super humble. Coach Kris - what can I say- she’s my idol!! And has been an inspiration to me since the moment I discovered CrossFit in 2010. I highly recommend VCF to anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall health & wellness!! #livefitlivelife, Vanessa Stack

When you're here, you're family. The hardest part of a gym for me, honestly has been the obscurity of a gym experience. Pay a monthly fee, never show up, no one notices, no one cares, nothing changes. If you want to waste money this isn't the place for you. When you develop your schedule and start signing up for a consistent classes and you don't come, you get a text message or a call. Coaches know you, check in on you. Other classmates encourage you to finish the group classes together. Coaches are professional and take your abilities and goals into mind and cater each workout you do to support both. It is the opposite of a waste of money, its the place you go to if you want to see some real change. If you want to really get stronger or fitter. I have been coming for two years and haven't wasted a single dime. If you're thinking about it or on the fence contact the gym and ask for a trial...they'll give it to you. Figure out what fits your schedule and do it. You won't regret it.

All are welcome here, no matter where you are in your fitness journey or what your goals are (fitness, competing, weight loss, etc.). The staff is awesome and knowledgeable and the community is great, It is where I have made some of my best friends :).

From the dozen or so PF locations, this has to be the best. Granted I work out 2am, the place is in pristine condition. Staff are very awake, responsive, and helpful. Each time I work out here, I feel like they just opened this facility up. I was fooled by the appearance of the parking lot, but thank God I did not judge that gym by its cover.

A pretty decent gym with all the amenities you could need from a gym. Staff are wonderful and friendly. Recommend this gym to anyone looking to better themselves.

Whoever has black membership - we pay extra, but when something is broken, it takes a while to fix. Massage chairs are not working! Overall, they keep everything clean.

It's got everything you need. I only wish they had classes. But they have all the equipment you could need. They even have tanning. Red light therapy. And massage beds, tables, and lounges. The staff is always friendly. And the best part is that it's 24 hrs. So, no excuse.

I’m in my second month with Planet Fitness, and I’m really happy with it! The equipment is top-notch, everything is clean and well-maintained, and the convenience is amazing. Plus, the massage chairs are a perfect way to relax after a workout. Highly recommend!
