LA Fitness

Do not go to this LA Fitness! Or at least go expecting a clean and reliable facility. It is poorly maintained and the people that go here are either oblivious to how poorly maintained or just used to it by now. I have been going to LA Fitness for over 10 years. I have been going to the Santa Monica, West LA, Inglewood and Playa Del Rey locations. Those locations have always been clean and maintained. Machines are always working or are quickly fixed if broken. I recently moved to the Huntington Park and started going to LA Fitness in Huntington Park on Slauson. It is like night and day compared to the LA Fitness locations in the west side of LA. This LA fitness is poorly maintained, machines are constantly broken, the aerobic room is constantly closed for “cleaning” during peak hours. The cleaning staff literally kick people out of the aerobic room to wipe down the windows (see video). I When I first started going to this LA Fitness I thought maybe it was a fluke that there was no soap to wash your hands or functioning sinks. I complained to the staff was told it would be fixed but a 3 days later it was still not fixed. I couldn’t believe something as simple as soap to wash your hands is not available or a functional sink! I called corporate and made the same complaint and was told it would be fixed. 4 days later and still either no soap or water in the soap dispenser. I’m not joking…there was literally water in the soap dispenser. It’s disgusting and unhygienic considering all the equipment and restroom thats being shared. Sooo I called again to corporate and raised the same complaint. I literally called the corporate office 5 times in a span of 3 months to finally get the issue resolved and have something as basic as soap in the restroom and a functioning sink. This is only the issue with the soap and the sink in the men’s restroom. I haven’t started on the broken treadmills that either don’t work at all or don’t go past 5.5mph. This also doesn’t include the fact that their cleaning staff closes the aerobic room during peak hours to “clean”. This LA Fitness is poorly maintained and poorly managed. The management here has little to no regard to its patrons and frankly neither does their corporate location. As long as you keep your membership paid, they do not care. Don’t come here. Go to Blink or 24 or Cruze or any other gym but here. Spend your money where you are valued.

As soon as you go inside the gym it smells bad, really bad. This gym is probably the smelliest one I’ve ever been too. Please fix the smell because I want to come back but not to a stinky gym. Also the gym needs more gym mats. Smh. There’s only like 2 good ones. All the new equipments and only 2 good mats.

DO NOT PARK HERE THEY BROKE INTO MY GMC Yukon, They tried to steal it while I was in the gym working out. I told the gym about it and they said they’ve been stealing cars from there for months and yet they don’t have security to take care of our cars while we’re working out they make so much money out of memberships and they can’t get a security guard to take Care of our cars. Be careful lock your cars get a good alarm if you’re gonna Go to the gym because they don’t care. They told about five cars in the last month Luckily, they weren’t able to turn on my truck but dead break the key part of it and had to tow it back home.

The front desk clerk seemed “new”. The building is one of the most updated LA Fitness locations that I’ve seen recently. The water fountains even have the water bottle filling stations, which I haven’t seen at the locations I’ve been to recently. This location has my “Fitness 3”. A great selection of full body cardio, upper body equipment, and a sauna. This was a lovely , quick , smooth Friday.

The gym is great everything is always clean. The gym is well equipped with treadmills I just wish it had more weights, benches etc. UPDATE- I left LA fitness after I felt they have made good improvements but not enough. Planet fitness is cheaper and I feel they offer better equipment.
