LA Fitness

I was going to give a higher rating. I did like it when I first sign on the membership. However, enjoy the low traffic and the window view. DON“T sign on any training contract! They sold me a master training contract with higher rate. Then half way into the contract, my «master trainer» was promoted as manager. He assigned me a «certified trainer» which means their regular rate. He didn’t tell me the difference, so did the manager after him. It was not until two weeks ago, my trainer (he is GREAT!) told me that he was promoted as master trainer. Then I found out all along I was paying for master trainer rate. The store manager says that I ok it. They didn’t ask me to sign anything about the change nor did they inform me of his status. And let’s not even talk about the company’s way of dealing with it. If it weren’t the quality of the trainer, I would have given it one star.

Shower heads are old.
Shower area is not clean
Staff are rude.
Pool is good, but they took the signs for fast, medium and slow lane off, which creates a lot of confusions.

Small gym with limited free weights. The personal trainer there acts like they own the whole dam place, no respect to paying customers.

First let me say that I’m not rating this gym on their staff who is actually not very polite when I asked them questions about gym membership. I eventually joined at another LA fitness since I didn’t want to patronize this place.
I’m giving the high marks because this place is always pretty empty even during «peak» times. Classes aren’t full and generally I can always get on a machine. For that, this is a great gym to join.

The worst gym ever. Poor customer service. The manager here who named Sire was sooooo rude. Just so rude. My friend and I got the Free guest pass online and wanted to try to work out here. But then he started to forced us to sign the membership and started to ask us hundreds of the questions. We didn’t even have the chance to try at all, then how could we decide? Then he told us we are not respectful and pushed the chair so hard and hurt my foot so much. Then we just left without doing anything. Will never come back again… Never.

The quality of the employees they hire I getting worse! The ladies at the counter are giving facial expression of «you are not welcomed»

Love this gym and the current staff ! They always make me feel welcomed and the gym is never crowded ! Which is a bonus. The machines are always clean and I could always get my pump quick ! Hope this encourages you guys to try out this gym ! Love it !

I don’t know what all the complaining is about… Its never crowded, I love that! I think its ALOT cleaner than the 24 hr fitness in the mall, the machines always work. Staff doesn’t bother me and try to make me buy stuff I don’t need. I like it!

Been a member here with my wife since 2001 which is the only reason why I’m
Still a member, but those who are thinking of joining… It’s not worth your money. This is why: 1. It is not sanitary. 2. Poor Customer Service. 3. Very poor maintenance of machines. 4. Machines are out dated (been there since they bought off Ballys). 5. They don’t make you feel welcomed and by that I mean; they hardly try to make eye contact with you and don’t even say welcome or anything.
If you happen to forget your lock at home, they have the lockers which you can insert tokens into but they don’t have the tokens. If you ask why… The only answer you’ll get is «we don’t do that» and if you ask why not well, they’ll respond saying «we just don’t». This is a place of service but you’re not going to experience it here. Be advised though that this is my review for this particular location. The one off the 10 fwy by the eastland shopping center is better. I just hope they don’t eventually go sour as well.

As a frequent visitor to this gym, I enjoy my everyday workout routine here. The outdoor pool is pretty good, one of my favorite facility there. The gym rarely get too many people like other LA fitness locations I go to during weekend (Alhambra, Monterey park). I attended most of the 5:45pm class before, overall it is pretty good, you can have good workout from Cardio jam or kick boxing class and have lots of fun from zumba class. The equipment can be a little bit out dated compared to other newer gyms, but I don’t use much of equipments and weights, so it is not an issue for me. I signed up my personal trainer section here, but use it in Montebello gym, it is convenient to choose personal trainer you like or need using the cellphone app. It is still my favorite gym so far with the nice people I meet and good class I have.

I have a LA Fitness membership for the last 2 months. I recently moved around the area. I usually go to the Pasadena one, and that one is a state of the art complex. If someone told me to pay $ 30 a month to come to this one, I would ask them if that was the annual amount. When I left the gym after a brief workout, I felt depressed. The gym had gloomy lighting, equipment that looked donated, employees who look like they are waiting for their next opportunity, and member holders that wonder why they didnt join 24 hr fitness instead. Isnt the gym suppose to make you feel better after leaving it?

This is the most outdated LA Fitness I’ve ever been to. It used to be a Bally’s and when LA took over, they never really made the cosmetic changes. So here’s the rundown. It’s got a dirty vibe to it, maybe it’s the lack of bright paint as compared to other LA Fitnesses. The men’s locker room is nasty, I’ve seen roaches crawling around in there. There are only 2 toilets and 2 urinals. So if you gotta shit and the stalls are full, better hold on tight. Hold your breathe too because the ventilation isn’t very good. The equipment in the gym isn’t bad. The pads on the machines aren’t ripped and the cardio machines work most of the time. There’s a shitty outdoor «pool» here. It’s tiny. There is no basketball court and no racquet ball court. Is this really an LA Fitness? I think this gym would be better suited as a Planet Fitness or something less because they just don’t have the amenities to call itself an LA Fitness.
The staff is pretty useless here. When they scan you in they often have their cell phones in their other hand. I can clearly see that they’re texting.
I only came here because it never gets packed. I can do my entire workout and not have to wait on any machine. This gym is still a Bally’s to me and that’s never going to change.

Really bad gym. The equipment is beyond ancient and the staff are incredibly rude and sleazy. They will nickel and dime you in any way they can. You are probably thinking about coming here because it’s close to your house — save yourself the hassle and go to 24 hour fitness, it’s right across the street and the people there are way more professional and the equipment is ten times better.
Watch out for the fat guy with glasses (employee), he’s super sleazy. Avoid this gym at all costs. I encourage you to read the other reviews too.

Oh my god.
This gym is SO SAD. It’s literally the most depressing gym I’ve ever been too.
I think the dumbbells and machines are older than me.
Everything is misplaced, and dirty :(The layer of filth on some of the sad what little of there is of the dumbbells is so gross.
I wanted to wash my hands immediately.
The locker room is icky and I would NEVER take a shower there, ew.
There is nothing updated, lots of missing items, and the whole layout is old and plain and cold and SAD.
I signed up for Bikram Yoga down the street and got excited to find out there’s an LA Fitness right there so I can do some lifting before I go to yoga.
Well that dream is killed. I’ll just go to the LA Fitness in La Habra and make my way up. Lot’s of driving, but oh well.
Can someone in corporate PLEASE renovate this center? It needs it, bad!
It’s in a good spot and it’s got potential.
Please help this sad old tired outdated little LA Fitness.
Did I mention this gym is SAD? :(

Worst customer service! All I wanted to do was sign up and get a pass and the girl at the front desk was so rude, she was on her phone and when I walked up to the service desk, she rolled her eye as if I’m interrupting her. The manager on duty wasn’t any help either. He made very inappropriate remarks also.

If you can’t tell by the equipment this is an older gym, Its been used an abused. I came by because I had plans to go to Cost co right after the gym. I’m usually at the Newer La fitness in West covina (extremely packed btw)
I worked out my legs/​lower body, They only have 1 squat rack, 2 Seated leg press machines, the Calf raise machine in the free weight area is missing a pin so you can’t adjust the height properly. When I finished with the Free weights I decided to hit the machines to burn out with drop sets on leg curls, and reverse leg curls. What do you know? You can’t adjust these machines either. Its been tapped and screwed into place on the lowest setting.
The gym wasn’t so bad around 6pm –6:30pm. I wouldn’t come back for leg day, chest, biceps most likely or even doing back work outs. I didn’t inspect all the machines because I only had a little over an hour to work out.

There are few times I feel happy about going to the gym. Coming to this gym makes me happy! It’s always clean, the staff have been friendly, and the people who come have always been considerate of others. The gym has water fountains, paper towels, and hand sanitizers in place exactly where they need to be; easily accessible no matter where you are at the gym. Everything from dumbbells to hand sanitizers is always fully stocked; even if it’s an hour before closing! If you plan on coming to my favorite la fitness gym, please be equally courteous as this is not a place for people who are looking to throw weights everywhere while yelling like a baboon.

The staff is rude …
Machines r great wich is why they get one star
Locker rooms disgusting as well as restroom.

Update. There are 7 staff members working right now. Bathroom still has strong urine smell. No paper towels in bathroom.
One male staff is flirting with female staff at front desk. The other 5 are in the office eating sandwiches, on their cell phones and staring at computer screens.
La fitness is not a cheap gym to attend. It would be nice to have a clean place to exercise in this community.
Maybe 24 hour fitness?

This is a note to the men that swim here. If what you are wearing to swim says Under Armour, Jockey, Boni, or something else, then you are wearing chonies. Underwear! Underwear is not appropriate for the pool. I don’t care if it has a fly or not! It is disgusting! Yes I am talking to you «Mr. yeye» and «Mr. abuelo». If you want to look like a swimmer, buy yourself some jammers!
I’ve complained to management several times about people wearing their chonies to swim. LA Fitness obviously does not care, or doesn’t know the difference between jammers and chonies.
