LA Fitness

“Terrible experience! The gym is dirty, there’s no soap in the bathrooms, and the sauna is ice cold—it might as well not exist. Never seen a fitness club this poorly maintained. Definitely wouldn’t recommend!”

This LA fitness is the best one in Portland by far. Best layout, most space, most number of machines. AND the CLEANEST gym I’ve been to in Portland. They are literally always cleaning. I have never gone and not scene someone vacuuming, mopping, dusting, or power washing the showers. Cleanliness is so important to me in a gym and they are on their A game.

I honestly don't know why people rate this place so low- it's in a great location, very affordable, clean, and well managed. The staff are great, there are plenty of machines and free weights, the amenities are awesome and the hours are good too. I have been going to different gyms for over 20 years and this one is right near the top of them. I had low expectations but they've all been blown away. Also, to the folks saying the area is unsafe or their cars have been broken into... Don't leave stuff in your car! You should know better.

My spouse was robbed at this gym, they took his backpack which has all his clothes, including shoes, jacket ect while he was in the pool area. It was freezing out and he had to go home with bare feet in his swim suit. The nice kid at the front desk sympathized with him but told him they had no cameras and there wasn’t much they could do. I think the company could do more to prevent theft, like having cameras. That’s why I’m leaving this review.

Updating to four stars for the women's locker room getting new shower curtains and being cleaner. However, the chlorine in the hot tub is still so strong it makes your eyes burn just to sit in it. *** I like the gym because of the wide range of equipment and amenities including pool, hot tub, dry sauna, cardio, racquetball courts, basketball court, bike room, studio, free weights, weights machines and training area. My only complaint is the cleanliness. A lot of the weight machines are rusty and the pool area is very rusty and the pool in heavily chlorinated. It burns your eyes just to sit in the hot tub because the chlorine is so strong. The women's showers really need to be re-grouted and deep cleaned especially the ceiling tiles are extremely dirty, the shower curtains are covered in mold and rust and the bathroom stalls are very dingy. A deep clean would really take this gym from 3 to 5 stars.
