LA Fitness Review

I like the service! Too many machines! Good classes! But the bathroom could be cleaner!

I've been coming to this gym over 10 years and it has everything. There is a pool, hot tub, big weight room with free weights and lots of machines, treadmills, a dedicated been class room and aerobics room.

The worst area, the worst gym (la fitness) sauna works weak, 50 people inside the sauna. Will never come again. Management must to do something with exactly this fitness. Upgrade or something. it s not very nice to come, I don t know why, but everything is felt dirty starting from the locker room!

I have to go during peak hours so it's crowded but you can still get your work out done.. now only if people would put down their phones and actually worked out...

Be wary of signing up with Burnell the sales person. I came in and signed up with what I thought was a AAA discount membership. Nothing down and $40 for 5 months then he said "come talk to him" when its time to adjust the price, this was last May. Cut to March 2020 and I am still paying $40 a month. He kept giving me the runaround saying to come back next month, come back later, come back next week. Then finally he said come back around New Years. What a joke. Also offered me some LA Fitness swag for signing up and such and always gave me the runaround about that too. Very disappointed.

In terms of this gym its okay. It is the hottest LA fitness I've been I think due to the sun roof window. It's also very cramped in the weight lifting area. I find the Culver City location to be better.

A gym disgust 'the sauna and the jacuzzi takes 3 weeks to break down' habeses the pool and jacuzzi close at 7 or 6 'it does not work no like' tomorrow incredible cancellation that is already my 2 times that getting tired for the same thing is never the pool and jacuzzi or sauna in service 'to pay only machines at 60

Great location, awesome staff and they keep this place well kept up. It does get a bit busy at times, but regardless you'll have a great work out.

AC & Security need improvement, otherwise good place

Plenty of parking. Cardio equipment not well maintained, and complaints don't bring about much change. Staff is polite. Most disturbing is the stench in the men's locker room. Worse than any LA fitness facility that I've visited!

Great facilities. Parking is sometimes busy and locker rooms are OK for the price of LA fitness.

Cool nice and very clean.
Great atmosphere too!

When their water fountains breaks down it takes more than a week to get fixed. They poured tens of thousands of dollars maybe more into remodeling but they cant fix a water fountain.

During summer there is always a broken air conditioner so you can imagine how bad the smell can get. Also all the weights are scattered around the gym like a treasure hunt

They need to improve on their AC in general!!!! When the AC does not work. OMGOSH GET READY TO SMELL SOME MUST. If you arrive around 9:30pm on the week day, you're bless if you find a spot to stretch and get a work good out. I usually go around that time because around 4:30-9pm you will start regretting arriving to this gym. Why? Because its so pack! However, the staffs are very helpful and nice. The people at this gym can be jerks or polite. Can't grantee that everyone is nice that's bullshit -_-
The ladies lockers can be dirty but the sauna room is great. I've never swim at this gym just because I dont feel comfortable but its pretty big.
Any who, I would encourage everyone to try this gym once just because my opinion can be different than yours. :D

So much better than it used to be. Very friendly staff, clean facility and great equipment. One thing they need to do to make this place perfect is remodel the locker rooms and bathrooms. The carpet in the locker rooms is so old school and gross. And the set up overall feels like a waste of space. It also just smells bad. Also, the gym needs more dumbells...especially the 20s, 25s, 30s, 35s (which are used the most). They're almost always in use which can really throw off a workout. Thanks for the improvements so far though...with these last couple adjustments it'll be five star gym!

Be extremely careful when you sign up at this location. They use shady tactics to make sure you sign up (They love to skip over the fine print). They will tell you they are going to waive your initial sign up fee, and then hit you with hidden fees later. Be very, very careful what you sign up for. It may sound like a good deal, but shop around and do your research first.

Be extremely careful for the "annual" fee they charge you after 2 months but don't tell you about (how does this make sense? "Annual" means a year).

This is the one of the worst and old and dirty la fitnes in all la !!! You must to do restoration ! You must make it cheaper.

Nice wide open space. Even when busy, theres machines to use, unlike at other locations. 2 or 3 stair climbers are usually not working. Weights are occasionally missing. Some of the machines make more noise than they should. Not the best smelling bathrooms. Lots of parking in a garage. Was going here for over a year before switching to a different facility much closer.

Club is clean and staff are friendly. Lots of space and equipment is well placed.

My fav spot for la fitness, there is a lot of option you can come here and be happy .
They have 2 big basketball spot , pool , jakuzi , for cardio bicycle class, if you wanna try by urself, extra gym area , and tons of different workouts spot and options of devises .
They have own parking spot , the workers are friendly and polite .
Love to come here all the time

Same lame gym.. truly a hit-and-miss experience sometimes the summers are so bad you just leave sometimes they're nice and fresh and you can get in and relax. they keep up the equipment mostly although voting machines are a regular occurrence.

Really bad customer service. A personal trainer called me repeatedly to schedule a time for us to train and to explain the different service they offer. I came there and she didn t show up. The gym is okay. It can get super crowded at times and you ll find yourself waiting for weights.

Derrick Johns is the way to go if you need to get right I highly recommend you ask for him and him only.

Very nice gym as of 2016. You wont regret it, bathrooms could be kept up more though.

Im going to assume that people who review this location only visit this particular one. I only came here because I was in the area for work. Ive been to many locations across SoCal, and I would rate this one below par. The free weight section is just 15-20% of the entire gym. Just 3 small racks for dumbbells is a huge red flag for me. Most people here seemed focused on cardio or light weight training. The temperature of the gym is my biggest gripe. Why do they keep it so warm? The gym gets moderately busy so add human temps and a warm building and you get the most uncomfortable environment to train in. If i wanted hot yoga I would go to one. I will avoid this location from now on.

You will spend more time hunting for weights than working out all the while avoiding used tissues and empty can. They need to try harder because it looks like the employees don t care.

A great place to work out, equipment and environment conducive to your overall health and happiness.

Great place, awesome staff, excellent equipment, free parking, fun juice bar

I called for some info and the customer service rep sounded like it was costing het to give me information. That's L.A. for you.

I like this gym. Probably not the best, but it's good enough to work out.

Its close to my house not crowded clean and staff is great

Great place to workout. Has a pool, jacuzzi, and the regular machines and workout areas that most LA Fitnesses have.

Been there for two days so far. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I am yet to go while it's crowded but all machines are in great condition as well as a clean environment. While pool is small it does the job. Locker rooms are not impressive but no actual complains

They got great equipment and ample space but their b-ball court absolutely sucks. Ceiling is super low so if you have a high arching shot you need to change it or it ll hit the ceiling. And the most slippery floor I ve ever played on. You can literally ice skate on the floor with your shoes. They clean their courts probably once a year lol. I d also avoid the older trainers. They don t seem to know how to teach proper technique or form. Saw one of their clients being pushed to absolute exhaustion on shoulder overpress. He was arching his back badly and instead of moving onto a diff exercise the trainer kept adding more reps if he didn t finish the set. Terrible way to train and will eventually lead to injury.

The go to gym! If they stayed open to midnight, I d never have a complaint. Prices are the market standard and they re newer than 24hr Fitness so you can normally find a clean one!

Overall good. Clean enough. It has busy times, but overall it s pretty standard and good!

This is the Best Gym anywhere! I had to lose 25 pounds and LA Fitness here on La Cienega in Los Angeles did it for me! Great Staff, Great Trainers, Great Equipment, Great Manager. Special Thank You to Gail Castalta, Manager of LA Fitness on La Cienega! Excellent customer service, affordable pricing. Newly renovated gym!

Weights are almost never properly returned. 4 bench presses and 4 squat racks for a gym of almost 100. Always crowded. Lots of cardio machines. Most are forced to go to this gym since it's the only traditional style gym around for miles since the 24 hour fitness on Pico closed.

This place is disgusting. Water fountains have rust on them and there is exposed plumbing in the showers. Everything "just broke and is being repaired this week". The soap in the showers is diluted with water and never locked or covered. The pool has been under renovation forever. The staff hates their jobs so they're all pissy all the time. Finally, they won't ever issue you a refund or cancel your contract even with all the major issues stated above. I will never again be a member of la fitness and will strongly recommend against them at any opportunity. I'd rather go to ANY gym but this one, trust me.

This place is garbage. Unhelpful staff, always dirty, packed with people, unorganized...garbage.

I have to disagree with the majority of the posts here. I doubt any of them have access to LA Fitness's financial records and likely have no clue what level of funding they receive from corporate. Look, it's not a restaurant. You're there to sweat your butt off, not eat off the locker room floor. If ANYONE has any clue where people can find two indoor basketball courts in a central location on the west side please let me know. As for the ceilings being low... sure that can be annoying but they didn't build the place specifically for two basketball courts, it was retrofitted to accommodate them. You don't like it, go outside and play on asphalt. That will lower the wait for me (evidently lots of people have adjusted their outside shot to take a little arc off it , because they are very VERY popular). I've gone there since it was opened and I've NEVER seen equipment broken for weeks at a time. There are a LOT of machines and the facility offers numerous yoga, kickboxing, dancing and other type classes, including a spinning area. The only thing I would say as a negative is the showers could use a bit of a renovation. I enjoy using the jacuzzi all the time and the pool is heated and feels great. THIS GYM IS NOT DIRTY (except the showers a bit) and there is NOT trash all over the place. I wonder what kind of chip on their shoulder a lot of these posters have. Maybe they're trying to get people to not go there so they will have unfettered access to any machine any time they want.

New machines are great sadly free weights still remain eh. Cardio equipment is clean except stairmaster which looks grimy (wear and tear I guess). staff is always vacuuming and mopping which is great

Charging Monthly dues during a pandemic = cancelling our 10 year membership. Sad.

Its gets packed sometimes but what gym doesn't. Good price, I'm here A lot

I was pressured into a one year training package. The first month went well but shortly after the trainer just simply did whatever he wanted. Each training session is 25min. Basically the trainer would come 4-5 min late and end about 3 min early. So basically your session is about 15 - 18 min. As well 90% of the time the trainer was texting on his phone. I wouldn't recommend anyone getting a training package at this gym...

Instructor of Senior exercise class, Kathy, is fantastic

Julia helped me sign up and was hella cool. The rest of the staff is pretty polite when coming and going. It is nice equipment. The hours are short but that's covid pressing the issue on us but LA got my stars

All right only in the world you can find all kinds of people and bad vibes

Jonathan helped my friend out today, he was so helpful and made the entire process easy and effortless =)

Been going to this gym for 3 years and I am finally over it. Some 75/80 dude who comes with his wife and all their cronies to the pool every morning finally did it. After years of yelling at this guy for spitting in and around the pool he decided it was ok to pee on the pool deck where the communal showers are 5 feet away from the jacuzzi. He pointed to the rubber mat that lead to the water drain and he said "it's ok it's a toilet"I lost it and was yelling at this man and realized he didn't speak English well enough to understand everything I was saying. There was a phone by the pool so I called up to the front however she was the only one working so she couldn't do anything other than leave a message for the manager. I didn't have enough time to stay otherwise I would have called the police for indecent exposure/urinating in public. After calling corporate I was assured I would receive a phone call within 24 hours and it has now been 7 days and no phone call. Due to the location of this gym the pool is disgusting. It's sad because there is a great community of people who want the pool at la fitness to work but these scum have ruined it.

They open very late, there's others gyms that they open at 5:00 at the morning everyday

I went in to cancel my membership. I'm almost 9 months pregnant and worried about COVID. They told me the guy who cancels isn't in on the weekends, and to call back. I have called NUMEROUS times and sat around with the phone ringing for 10 minutes. No one's picked up.

I have had the best experience of my life training with with Derrick John at LA Fitness, La Cienega. I had a near death accident a few years ago and working with him I am regaining core strength and endurance. I ride Dressage and it's like he knows just what I need so that I can excel in my sport. He is a font of information not only training in a gym environment, but tips and tricks for working out at home. He knows all there is to know about nutrition and will freely share information, time and his wonderful energy. If I reach out to him, he answers back almost immediately. He has become a very important person in my life and I wanted to share this with others. As Derrick always says - eat healthy!

Trainers didn't really follow up with us. Amenities are pretty standard and prices are the same. Nothing special.

Jacuzy is not clean also in sauna not clean as well

I like swimming at this LA Fitness the pool is big enough. There's also plenty of machines.

Equipment is terrible, smells awful, always condensation in the air. Worst gym I've ever seen.

The people working here are all really sweet and genuine.
