LA Fitness - Los Angeles (CA)

2 /5 Serenity Jiang: I mostly use the gym for its pool, sauna, and elliptical machines. Two years ago, I came to this location hoping to try out the pool. But guess what? I got hit by a strong chlorine smell coming from the pool level while I was on an elliptical glider. I couldn’t stand the chlorine smell, and it made my throat feel irritated. I started coughing, and I knew for sure that people had been urinating in the pool. Elliptical gliders are so outdated! I usually go to LA Fitness in the Tustin / Irvine area, and their machines are so much better. And most of them are in good condition, unlike these ones here. They’re broken all over the place. Fast forward to June 2025, and I decided to give the pool and elliptical another try. I wanted to see if there had been any improvements. Here are some of my experiences: -3 stars is for the dirty pool, changing rooms, and old elliptical machines they have here. I called in advance and asked about their pool cleaning schedule. Turns out, they only clean once a week, and it’s on Saturday. So I went at 4 p.m. on Saturday. The pool water wasn’t as clear as it should have been, and it was really warm. It’s not great to swim in warm water, especially when you’re worried about having a heat stroke. The water was also super salty, and there was barely any chlorine smell. The walls of the pool were green, and some corners had black mold. I saw the mold right away and quickly got out of the water. I didn’t even want to try out the whirlpool…I just don’t want to take any chances. Changing rooms: I saw a big, detailed butt print on the bench in the women’s changing room. I didn’t see any signs of reminders about proper hygiene etiquette from LA Fitness. The butt print was there before I entered the pool and still there after I finished my shower. There was also hair everywhere, hairs that are not just from the head … Overall, I had a really disappointing experience at this gym. I’m not sure if I’ll be going back anytime soon. The shower area was decent. I won’t complain too much about a free shower or taking a star off for the shower heads or anything… but there were a lot of hair near the drains and corners of the shower. The elliptical machines were still outdated. Most of them still work, but I guess they won’t get replaced unless they’re completely broken. The user experience isn’t as pleasant for the unlucky people who get on one that’s in poor condition. If you can stand the rattle noise and the clink of the joints, then it’s all fine. Again, this review is mainly about my personal experiences. I don’t do weight lifts at the gym, and I rarely come here for their class or use other rooms for sports, etc. I might update the review if I ever use more of their equipment.

5 /5 Quinn M: Chance is awesome! I got to get my membership set up with him and he was super nice and cool. The location itself has nice equipment in comparison to other gyms I tried. Highly reccomend.

1 /5 Nurdolot Nurdolotovich: Didn’t let us in, however i got universal membership purchased in Mount Prospect Illinois, i was getting to all LA fitnesses across the state since i am truck driver, however this exact location didn’t contribute either try to resolve the issue as they should, and me and my co driver just leaving 1) First of all, the guys on the desk told is to talk to the sales person then for some reason he didn’t like us or whatever he say they are not available and we will have to come the another day, but i would be ready to resolve the issue and just get in
