LA Fitness

I can't believe the experience I had at your gym. I came in ready to sign up, but your staff's ridiculous policies ruined everything. I live in California and even brought proof that my brother, who just moved here, would be staying with me. Yet, because he didn’t have a California ID, your team flat-out refused to let him try out the gym. Seriously? What kind of nonsense is that? It's mind-boggling that you can't find a way to accommodate someone who's clearly interested in joining. This entire situation has not only wasted my time but has also made it clear that your gym doesn't care about potential members. Thanks for nothing. I won't be coming back, and I’ll be sure to share this experience with others.

One of the dirtiest, filthiest LA fitness I ever have seen. They are no shower curtains in the mens showers. Management told me, the curtains were removed because of inappropriate behavior occurring in the showers. that alone should tell you what kind of place this is. The sauna wooded benches are black from how dirty they are. You can't even see the brown wood. Nothing but shaved head, bully, thugs come here. The type of people that just stand talking next to the equipment will not use it and won't let you use it either. And just try to flirt with women at all times. The gym is small and the size of a 4 car garage. The equipment is old, outdated and breaks down frequently. You have to pay for parking. They have a revolving door of employees and managers, thus nothing gets fixed or resolved. And no one cares because it's just a filler job until they find something better. The result is a delapatated gym, with rampant issues, that is in dire need of repair. Stay away from this gym.

Where do I start?! The culture here is borderline disgusting. The men I see coming out of the restrooms almost never wash their hands. Kids are usually trying to flex and take pictures of each other in the locker room while other members are changing. Weights are left all over the place upstairs and it’s absolutely packed after about 3pm. The staff is really nice though.

They need to work on their overall cleanliness of the gym. I recently found a cockroach in the shower areas and I feel that the gym should be a place that focuses on cleanliness because of all the bacterias/germs/infections that can be spread from one person to another and even more when cockroaches are involved. Their spa was recently not maintained for over a week and was closed off. Their cold plunge has also not been maintained in over three weeks and we are unable to make use of it.

So I’m writing this review based on my morning experience. I’ve not come here during the afternoon or weekends. I’m usually here when the doors open and the weight lifting floor is empty. I’ve been coming here for about 5 months and I’m happy with the experience I’ve had so far. Savage at the front desk is always welcoming and engaging. The other receptionists aren’t as welcoming, but I also don’t hold that against them since it’s really early and sometimes it’s not easy to have that energy right away. The overall crowd during the Monday through Friday mornings is pretty consistent. The only downside that makes this a 4 star and not a 5 star is the paid parking entry. It’s a dollar if validated I think, but that adds up over time. A few other things that bug me from time to time is the lack of attachments for the cable machines. Some handles are just tied up in knots and there’s only like two that still have the metal ring to clip on. There are barbells missing too. But I get here with enough time that I’m not bothered by the lack of equipment. Again, this is my experience as a morning patron.
