Best Gyms with Massage near Los-angeles, California

Have been coming here for a while now and for the past few weeks, I had noticed that some of the machines had a missing pin to hold the weights. As of today. 90% of the machines there are useless since the pins are all gone and if there are loose ones. People take them to the machine that they want to use. To make it worse. Staff had put PENS into the weights where the pin is supposed to be. I will most likely canceling my membership here. Here are 3 pictures I took on different machines to show how they "fixed" the issue

Just tried this location for the first time. The machines are newer than at other locations, TVs, Bluetooth, pairing to Apple Watch, generally less creaking and need for WD-40. It’s a Saturday and it wasn’t super crowded. Didn’t have to wait on any equipment. What could it work on? There isn’t much order to their strength machines. The other locations have better flow as far as areas to concentrate on certain muscles. The employees are either super shy or hate all of us. This is the only spot where you’re not greeted with sparkles, but how long am I really gonna hang with them up front? Two hours free parking. Don’t forget to validate in the little box on the right side of the counter … cos they won’t do it for you. 🤣

(Update) Visited again after a week and was pleased to see that all the machines now have the pins! Thank you for the quick action—this is definitely a 5-star gym! I look forward to continuing my workouts here!! ____________________ I've been here for a month and appreciate the clean facilities and friendly staff. Recently, though, most machines have been missing pins, creating a cycle where members take pins for themselves, leaving others without!! Staff mentioned new pins are coming this week, so I’ll update my review soon.

Its a $15 membership so its good for the price. My small complaints are that paper towels for cleaning run out fast during peak hours and machines are limited so you’ll probably be waiting for the ones you want when they’re busy. Otherwise it’s pretty good. Free parking for 2 hours and all that

Been a member over a year and loved coming here. Now, none of the machines work because someone stole the pins. Perhaps leaving this review will help in making the necessary fixing. And please, you contact the manager directly and not your clients.

I was looking for a nice gym to stop into on my work trip to Culver City and I’m so so happy I did. Really pleased with the entire experience of GymTonic. Machines are brand new and are relevant machines that are sought after such as Hip Thrust, Hack Squats, etc. It was so clean and full of amenities - including a sauna, towel warmer, the best filtered water dispenser, meditation room. The locker rooms were equipped with toiletries and various feminine products. Overall I was impressed at the variety of equipment and amenities there - and it wasn’t too busy and overwhelming when I went. I would definitely recommend this gym. Lastly the customer service was amazing. Grace at the front desk welcomed me with such warmth and kindness. Really appreciated that energy walking into a new gym. Thank you Grace ♥️

This is hands down the best gym in the LA area! Good vibes and energy from the staff and other gym members. I never had to wait in line for a machine and the gym itself was always very clean. Mark was amazing, he helped sign me up initially and answered any questions I had. When I was in a stressful situation with relocating for a my job suddenly, Dakota made the cancelation process easy. I am so sad I had to cancel my membership here but if I’m ever back in the area I will 1,000% be returning! This truly is the most genuine gym community, which is difficult to find in the LA area. I mostly strength train and they had all the necessary equipment to get the job done. I was able to take the restorative yoga class with Claire and that was the most relaxed I have been in a long time, highly recommend! I could go on forever about how amazing this gym and the staff is. Even though I was only a member for a short period of time, it was a great experience all around. Thank you gym tonic!

So far it’s been great, been going here a month. The gym is boutique, not a national Gym like equinox, but is never over-crowded and often you can do exactly what you came in to do. You still get all the attention and people knew my name within a week, very cool. I like the couple classes and love how clean everything is and that all the weights are always put away. If I have a gripe, it’s that I wish the gym app could better integrate with my trainer but even big name gyms like lifetime and equinox didn’t have that but it’s the only “con” I could think of! Very happy to be here.

As a new member of Gym Tonic, I’m not entirely satisfied. One of the main reasons I joined was the outdoor turf, but it’s not accessible during all business hours as I was initially told. The turf is connected to the gym through two large garage doors, which must remain closed if the weather is deemed "too hot" or "too cold" to maintain indoor temperatures. Members can only use the turf when the doors are open, making access entirely dependent on the outdoor temperature. Even if a member agrees to keep the doors closed while using the turf, staff are not allowed to grant access. I’ve encountered this issue during early morning workouts when it’s cooler, and despite offering to keep the doors shut, I was still denied access. There’s also a gate surrounding the turf with an opening that could serve as another entry/exit point; but access to the outdoor turf is not permitted if the main entrance doors are close. I'm not too sure the purpose of this policy. These restrictions feel excessive, especially compared to other gyms with outdoor turfs. Most allow full access regardless of the outdoor temperature, and Gym Tonic doesn’t clearly define what the temperature cut off for "too hot" or "too cold." For example, at Equinox, I’ve been able to use the outdoor turf when it was 50°F outside. Beyond this, Gym Tonic feels small compared to other gyms in its price range. The outdoor turf could make it feel more spacious, but with limited access, the gym feels even smaller. On the positive side, the gym is exceptionally clean, thanks to the hardworking cleaning staff, who truly are the heart of the facility. Honestly, they are the hardest working cleaning crew that I have ever encountered. If the cleaning crew reads this review, "Thank you for all you do!" Additionally, the manager offered to cancel my membership, which shows good customer service. However, the next closest gym with an outdoor turf adds too much time to my morning commute, so I’ve decided to keep my membership for now. In summary, the restrictions on the outdoor turf significantly diminish the experience, especially for members like me who value this feature. I'm willing to update my review if this policy ever changes.

I rarely leave reviews but just finished my first workout and was inspired to share how exceptional my experience was. The space is remarkable: spotless, chic and decked wall-to-wall with every piece of equipment and machinery you can imagine, plus spaces for recovery/classes/stretching/outdoor workout; and the staff were just so incredibly warm and friendly and knowledgeable. Can't recommend enough and look forward to seeing them soar.

Very crowded between 230pm and 9:30pm (Mon thru Thurs) and to add insult to injury , they hog machines just to be on their phones not working out . The clerks can't tell them to stop because their is no policy on how long they can be on a machine . Other than that staff is nice and the massage chairs are a plus 👍🏾 I poster holiday hours

I enjoy it only because I come at 4:30am when it's not too packed.

The staff they have are so rude for some reason. And they are on their phones and eating while on the clock. I get they have breaks but when you're on the clock and get made for me asking about a membership it makes no sense. I have a black card I had brought a guess with me. And I got the massage bed for my guest with MY MEMBERSHIP. The staff got mad at me and said that they were not allowed to use the bed even though they were my guess. And I have done this before and no staff have ever told me this before. So I don’t see the problem. And when I tried to offer a fist bump to kinda “swash the beef” the dude said he was eating and rolled his eyes at me. Like my bad for trying to use the membership I am paying for and using the perks that come with it. No need to roll your eyes and make a scene in a public place. When there are people that slam weights which is against their rules. They checked me for using my membership. The new staff they have hired have such attitude problems and feel superior or something to be so rude to the gym goers. My friend is now hesitant to even go near this location due to the rude and poor quality of the staff.

All of the PF are clean and the staff are always friendly. Idk why/how people have bad reviews. This is how nice the staff are there: There was a homeless lady who walked in and got water. They attempted to stop her when she first walked in (which is understandable) but they allowed her to drink. Upon finishing drinking some water, she dashed into the bathroom. The gentleman was telling her to not go in but she did. He informed a female staff member and she went inside the bathroom. I was on the treadmill so I don't know what was said. Fast forward to the lady leaving. They told her she can't use the bathroom and that it is for members. A staff member went in the bathroom and cleaned it. My point is, they showed her compassion which is rare these days. They could have been rude and disrespectful. They could have ushered her out. They actually had the right to refuse her, but they didn't. They could have called the police or security because the lady was trespassing, however, they did not. Two thumbs up to the staff there. I am not sure if this is the PF on Wilmington or Hawthorne. So to be clear, this incident transpired at the PF on Wilmington.

New here but I love it because it's not that packed. All machines are available they greet you well. You feel welcome. And the6 have parking.

Sick from black mold at equinox! Equinox downtown LA has black mold in the AC vents, and they blast the AC all day long! Air filled with spores. Mainly i feel bad for the employees who breath it all day, but black mold spores are highly neurotoxic and cause life long health problems! even when breathed in occasionally. super crazy for a place where you go to be healthy! membership canceled, i’m chronically ill and i can’t believe the gym that i go to rehab my body in is actually making me sick.

I love this Equinox location so much! The interior design is gorgeous and it’s nice and secluded. The morning classes are never packed so it’s nice to have a lot of space to workout in peace. The trainers here are also super friendly and are always willing to help you with personalized suggestions. Overall, of all the Equinox locations that I’ve tried, I like this one the best. The only complaint I have is that the parking structure is a little crazy.. it’s so hard to find the entrance and when you’re in the structure, it feels like a maze.

This equinox DTLA is relatively smaller than other locations but the interior design is modern, clean & gorgeous. The cleaning staff is amazing at keeping the club & bathroom clean and dry. I hate wet dirty floors lol the men’s bathroom is clean & dry so I am thankful. Many good classes & instructors! I had good experiences taking the classes, because the instructors are professional and friendly. Overall, I enjoy this location!

The parking at this location is so hard to find. I accidentally went into the gate right next to it and was charged $4 instantly. Equinox should at least put a sign on the entrance to let people know about this!

I wouldn’t rely on the common courtesy of some of the front desk or sales staff. They are unhelpful, rude, and non-accommodating. Highly disappointed in how Spencer treated my guest after 3 years of coming to the DTLA club. I had always heard stories about rude Equinox staff who go on power trips or whose egos are in over drive, but had never encountered them before myself until today. I think some humility or courtesy workshops could be helpful in fostering better customer service at this location. Never experienced this at the signature club or the Newport location. They treat their customers with the professionalism and respect of the highest order.

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.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 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.
