Best Gyms with Hot Tub 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.

Gold’s Gym Downtown LA is a great place to work out. They offer 3 hours of free parking with validation, which is super convenient. Mornings are usually not too busy, making it easy to access equipment. The gym has a positive environment with quality facilities 😌 definitely recommend! 💪🏻

So it's been a few months since my last post, and I haven't noticed any improvement. Here is a couple more pictures of the etiquette at this location. Arrived at 5am when they had just opened and found an empty red bull from the night before. Weights strewn all over the floor and a guy had his stuff in the way. Honestly wake up staff. Original Post: Management is in need of an extreme wake-up. 1. The staff is useless. They do a decent job of folding towels and greeting you from behind the counter. That is all. At any given time, there are 2-3 people standing around with no real purpose. My suggestion, get them to reorganize the weights at the end of the night. If they show they care, maybe the customers will too. At the very least, they will be earning their paycheck. 2. Cleanliness is lacking. I've been here about 6 times in the last couple of weeks, normally before 2 pm, and I've only seen the cleaning staff one time, same Hispanic lady. She was cleaning the windows one of the times. The sanitizing sprays usually barely have any in them, and I've shown up at 5 in the morning when they open. 3. It is very overcrowded. That's obviously a good thing. Use the staff to enforce some sort sort of order. I've seen a diverse number of clients with no gym etiquette whatsoever, who better to learn this from than the staff. I seriously doubt you will lose clientele to suffer a loss. Let me not only post all the bad but the few good. The towel availability is a great thing. 3 hour free parking is very good. That is about it. Recommend for the manager to take a trip to Santa Anita mall Golds Gym and see where to set the bar. Will update in a month or two in hopes that I see more pros or possibly a change in the way business is run.

Not allow to restroom to visitor, I was gonna get some information after the use restroom? However, counter employees don’t let me use restroom first, I just left with miserable feeling. I’m not joining any Gold’s Gym.

This is my first ever gym membership. Glad I made the decision to try it out. I’m still new to the gym, but so far it has been a good experience. It’s a decently sized gym, but still has good equipment. The PT I was assigned to has done a wonderful job at making me feel welcomed and has taught me new techniques to improve my workouts. I hope it continues to be a good experience for me every time I go. It is packed full of guys most of the time, but if you mind your business and blast your music in your ears, you should be okay! 😁👌🏼

EDIT from 1 star to 4 stars: After leaving this review, management at Gold's has called me to resolve the below experience. They confirmed that the deals should not have been sold as a package. I've been refunded the training days and been assured that this type of behavior isn't in line with the values of the gym and will be addressed with the team. It's very good to know that the team at Gold's takes this type of behavior seriously. I'll be staying at Gold's due to their professional response. ORIGINAL: My experience at this Gym has been alright, but the salesmen did swindle me out of extra money when selling the membership. I was offered a "special deal" where I could get my first and last month off, as well as a permanent $5 off monthly, if I bought 5 trainer days. I learned that deal is on the website without the need to purchase any trainer days. I'm severely disappointed with the management of this branch. To be clear, I would not have bought the trainer days if I did not believe I was saving money on my membership. My personal trainer has been perfect. He's taught me many things I need to know about different muscle groups and how to hit them all properly, as well as the diet required for my goals. I simply wish I had more time with him for the amount that I spent on the meetings, now that i know they weren't really part of any deal. I won't be supporting a Gym that takes advantage of it's customers, and after I've used up my training days I will be switching to a different gym. They don't deserve any loyalty after conducting deals in that fashion. Otherwise, my experience at this gym has been relatively average. Like most gyms in LA, it's pretty understaffed, the weight rack is disorganized, but you can go and get a workout done easily. I do enjoy the class selection that they have.

🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🤮🤮🤮🪳🤢🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳 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

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.

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.

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.
