LA Fitness

You have to park in the garage. When you do that. You're stepping in fresh pigeon shit. The owner of the garage refuses to clean it up. Then you walk into the club all over the carpeting and equipment with deadly bacteria on your shoes. The club won't do anything to improve the situation, sad.

I went here on a Sunday to tour the facility as I was in the market for a new gym after outgrowing my home gym. I called to see if I needed an appointment for a tour but I was told I could just come in. When I arrived to the parking garage, I loved how there was. I fee or time limit but I became concerned after noticing the decaying conditions. The garage could certainly use more lighting and signage for safety. I felt like the stairwell and elevator could especially be dangerous after dark since there were no cameras, call for help, or windows present. After finding my way to the front desk, I stood there while two associates were present for 2 minutes before anyone noticed me because they were on their phones. Once I told them I called about a tour I was directed towards who I assumed was a manger but he never introduced himself, seemed distracted, and overall had an unprofessional demeanor. I ended up being passed along to another member of the team who was much more attentive and professional. He asked what my goals were, explained the different promotions, and gave me a tour. While touring, I noticed trash throughout and dust on the equipment. I knew immediately they skipped out on regular cleanings. The lighting in the locker room was dim but the steam rooms appeared to be functional although I didn’t get a chance to see if it was infused with aromatherapy or clean since it was in use. There was also a self care area that had different rooms for different purposes. There were about 2-3 different rooms that were out of order but they had plenty of self tanning options, hydromassage, and other machines available. The gym seemed well equipped for my use but I couldn’t get over the lack of cleanliness and professional staff.

Overall gym has been better with cleaning and making sure everything is running. B court recently redone, painting looks great, stretching/ exercise area before b court us great addition. Men's locker rooms can be neglected at times. Need Swimming pool and Jacuzzi back. Been months closed. Stopping asking, cause I received different answers or a no idea answer. Extra amenities fixed would boost rating!

Pros - It’s a solid gym with the standard gym equipment and then some. The basketball court is pretty big and they provide a lot of baskets. Also the membership price is very affordable Cons - The floor on the basketball court has a lot of dead spots. Most of the showers only have hot to scolding hot water. The spa or pool may be closed for long maintenance from time to time.

This gym has a lot going for it, but at the end of the day everyone (staff and gym members) don't put enough effort into maintaining the space. The two biggest issues are: 1. The machines are not getting wiped down between people. There just aren't enough places to get cleaner and there are only paper towel dispensers rather than rags. 2. Gym equipment does not get put back. It's very difficult to find dumbells between 10lbs and 40lbs after the morning or night rush... which is basically all of the time. I've heard of friends leaving the gym for these reasons. I think a little extra effort and resources would go a long way to make this place awesome. Otherwise it has loads of cardio and weight machines, has free parking, and is 24hrs. It's kind of the only midpoint between Midtown and PF in the immediate area as well.
