LA Fitness - Los Angeles (CA)

5 /5 Daniel Amaro: First time to this location, had business to attend and decided to workout nearby. I was hesitant at first, after reading so many negative reviews. This LAFITNESS location did not disappoint, multiple layers of workout space, they have plenty of machines and free weights; all working. The locker room, bathrooms and showers were very clean. The entire staff was friendly and on top of things for what I saw. Also the people working out was cool and handling workout business. Parking structure seen safe and clean, walking security at all times. Validation inside the LAFitness front desk. Overall excellent gym and recommend! I’ll probably be back, had a good workout.

2 /5 Wyatt Sinko: By far the worst LA Fitness I’ve visited. Missing equipment like barbells, dumbbells, and plates due to any number of reasons. Dumbbells are more often in the wrong spot than the correct one. Piles of dumbbells can be found in high traffic areas, maximizing danger and inconvenience. Equipment is absurdly outdated; the treadmills may outdate me. Staff is inattentive. Not particularly dirty, but not clean, hence two stars instead of one. Low ceilings. It makes my hometown LA Fitness seam like a luxury wellness spa. From my first visit, it was apparent that LA’s LA Fitness locations are the bottom of the barrel.

1 /5 clearpath: I have stated several times to the gentleman who is there early in the morning that there appears to be some black mold on the ceiling in the basement of the gym where the lockers are. I talked to his supervisor as well. It was a very nice lady but they seem to not care. He didnt even move from his chair to check the ceiling. I am going to report it to the City. Its been there for a year. I have been going to this gym for 2 years. There is a musty smell in the lower floor of the gym as well.

1 /5 Marc S: This gym is below the average standard for gyms in Los Angeles and, within the DTLA area, probably the worst gym to choose from. You will never get a weight machine between noon to closing, the benches are always full, and the weights are never put back on a rack. In the two years I have had a membership, I have not seen any staff doing walk throughs of the gym and helping put back equipment where they belong. There is only one row of treadmills and four stairmasters. Every other treadmill has a functioning screen and maybe one of the bunch has a working fan. The A/C in the gym is weak and the air will get stuffy. As for the stairmasters, I am surprised these are still being used by the gym. They are so rusted and rotted out that I worry about using them. Look at the base of the display on the stairmasters and you’ll see that they’ve been eaten away from rust and consequently have removed their structural integrity — it’s a lawsuit waiting to happen if someone gets injured… and someone WILL get injured. The bathrooms are dirty, smelly, and often house homeless people. I would rather hold it in and wait until I get home than step in their restroom. This gym is poorly maintained and largely neglected with its only redeeming quality being its pool. If you are considering this gym, or have a membership that you want to get out of, I would recommend planet fitness. They have new and clean treadmills (with four rows of them!), the machines are relatively constantly available, and there are a lot let patrons at peak hours using the gym. You’re also paying half the price than this dump of a gym.

1 /5 Gourmand: Terrible gym. We got free access to the gym by staying at a nearby hotel, and this is easily the worst gym I’ve been in. Not only is it at max capacity at all times, but the equipment is broken, dirty, and there is barely any Space. Additionally, the restrooms are hidden on the ground floor, and you will not easily be able to find them. There are even additional secret rooms with machines that are packed to the broom. If you stay at a nearby hotel, be prepared for this gym to ask you for all your personal information. Full name, date of birth, phone number, physical home address, email address, license to scan, and the confirmation number to your hotel stay. Do not give this confirmation number from your hotel because anyone with that number cannot only cancel any reservations, they can also gain access to your room by giving the confirmation at the front desk. I told them I would not be giving anything besides a name, phone, email. If you decide to, unfortunately come here, just give them fake information. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to even get access to the gym because you have to sit down with a manager to get all this information. Avoid at all costs.
