LA Fitness

one of the better LA fitness locations. parking is great, they validate! love that it has a lot of separation between spaces and not all crowded in the same room

I drive 20 min to This location even though I have one close to my house, The Quitman are you pretty new, there is here a good vibe…
The personal trainers are gray, I really see results.

I really do love this LA Fitness. It is never super crowded when I go. There is free 2 hour parking below. It always seems clean. The classes and instructors are awesome. I would have rated it higher if it weren’t for the terrible front desk and sales people I have dealt with.
Usually they are friendly, but we were given such an attitude about a free pass for my guest who was actually looking into joining, was ridiculous. Telling a customer to «relax, and just wait a second» when we were simply standing there about to go to YOGA may I might add was unnecessary.
The free pass did not state anything about which gym we had to use, or being shackled to sign up the first time my friend ever visited. The two ladies were so rude my friend did not want to sign up with them. The sales woman was so aggressive, rude and insensitive my friend went to another LA Fitness to sign up. I was embarrassed.
Do not sign up here!

The staff aren’t very professional and I’m concerned how busy it is all the time. I’ve checked the pace out twice and I’m still debating if I should join.

This is probably the worst LA fitness I’ve ever been to. NO one re-​racks their weights and there is gym bags thrown all over the floor. People sit on the machines texting and instagramming half heartily doing reps in-​between long periods of breaks to catch up on social media. The muscle heads gave a profound sense of entitlement here, like the rest of us don’t pay our monthly dues. You never see anyone cleaning the machines or the facility. This place is disgusting.

This LA Fitness is garbage and trash all rolled into one. I have been a member at LA Fitness for 3 years along with my parents as part of a family membership. We have guest privileges, which means we are each allowed to bring up to 2 guests with us to the gym, for free, every time we go. I went today with my friend who came up from K-​town and we walked from my place at Hollywood & Vine all the way there, just for the soft scrub at the front desk to tell me that we can’t get in because my friend doesn’t have a California ID.
He just moved to LA 3 weeks ago and he hasn’t gotten one yet… BUT we just came to this LA Fitness two days ago to play basketball, the guy at the front desk asked us if I had guest privileges, I said yes, he checked, and then he said we were good to go in, so we went and played basketball. How are they giving me a hard time when I’ve brought guests who weren’t members of LA Fitness around 100 times over the past few years? The Uncle Tom who gave my friend and I a hard time takes his job way too seriously, and is clearly a punk who needs to get smacked. The guy at the front desk clearly likes things to be inserted in his butt, so I don’t need to say much more about her. I should have taken a piss on the floor on the way out.

Used to like this gym even tho the hours are a mess, especially on the weekends! The deal breaker was when I tried to put my month to month account on hold, but they still kept charging me. When I called back to cancel they tried to charge me $ 180 to cancel even tho I hadn’t been there for 3 month and they knew. They gave me the run around and blew my phone up 6 times a day! No people skills at all and horrible hours on the weekends so I switched to 24.

I go to LA fitness basically to swim and swim only. I don’t care for the facility otherwise. Out of all the locations I’ve gone to, I have to say that this is one of the best ones. I love how the swimming pool area doesn’t have a glass wall that EVERYONE and their mom can see you in your swimsuit… (Am I self conscious??? A bit since my metabolism slowed down lol). I also like how they have mats by the pool so you can dry yourself there. The locker room is nice, it’s got newer wooden lockers.
Overall, I prefer this location and the one on S Bundy St over the other ones.
Also, they have parking which you can get validated for 2 hrs free, and an elevator that will take you up to to the LA fitness area… But I walk up the 2 flights of stairs cause you know. I’m there to lose calories lol

Looking for a gym in the WeHo /​Hollywood area LA Fitness is a great place to work out. It seemed crowded on first sight but after two training sessions I can honestly say I have never waited on equipment to use. Equipment is in very good condition, there is a pool on site (one of the reasons drawing me to this location) and personal trainers are top.
I had a training session with David who is just great at motivating and giving you the best workout. Three days later my muscles are still sore :
Definitely a place to recommend.
recommendation to management: please initiate a plan for personal training where you don’t have monthly hours with rollover but could for example buy 10, 15, 20 sessions with possibility to use during the course of 2 years @ $ 40 per session. Would be very appealing for price sensitive customers and still guarantee revenue by upfront payment.

For the price and what you get, it’s great. Sure it gets a little crowded, but anything you do in LA is crowded, especially in Hollywood. The staff is friendly, the parking is 2 ½ hours, and the gym is usually clean, (except the showers, they could clean the showers a bit more often).

I’ve probably been a member of LA Fitness overall for 5 years and have been pretty satisfied with their facility, until my last few visits. My issue is only with the women’s locker room /​bathroom. Not only have I been uncomfortable using the women’s bathroom for fear of possibly catching an infection because it was so filthy and disgusting, but today I noticed there actually is a framed MCDONALD’S advertisement HANGING ON THE WALL! Is this some kind of sick joke? Seriously? You are a fitness center and you’re supposed to be promoting health and wellness and you have an advertisement of toxic garbage hanging on your wall? Wow. Poor form LA Fitness. Poor form.

Do yourselves a favor and DON’T sign up with La fitness. !!!
When I first came here to this location back in October (or November) I asked for a free pass. One hour later they pressured me into signing up right away, without even giving me a tour. My monthly rate was 35 $, way more than what everyone else is paying.
Then, the personal trainer and manager of the store Nathan pressured me into signing up for their personal training program. I told him that I can’t afford it at the moment, but he insisted that I write on paper that in a week from that day I want to be signed up and have them charge my card the 400 $ + deposit for thr program. As I kept saying no, he got really irritated and didn’t really appreciate me as a member in general because i didnt want the personal training.
He then said that I looked like an old, used VW and that he wants to turn me into a brand new Bentley. Well, thanks!
Manager Nathan then said that he will offer me another free training session if I post a review on Unilocal that same day and send him a screenshot of it to show i actually did it, but i had to mention his name and say how great Nathan is! I did it, send him the screenshots, but never heard back from him about that free session he promised. Of course, i realized i was scammed once again and took it down.
To cut it short, I cancelled my membership in January. I even changed my bank accounts because I heard from others and millions of online reviews that La fitness does not understand the concept of cancelations.
They were all right. Today I noticed a 40 $ charge on my account, from La fitness for «membership fees.» How dare you! They somehow stalked and found my new card number too! If someone cancels, stop stealing money from their accounts thinking that that money is rightfully yours.
La fitness and its leaders are the greatest scam artists and I only regret ever having signed up with them!
Go to another gym or use mother nature’s gym, please. And Nathan, you yourself will never look like a Bentley because Bentleys have nice interiors and yours is rotten.

They try to make it impossible to cancel. I moved out of LA and couldn’t go into the gym to cancel. More than a few times they put me on hold and hung up on me after I would ask to cancel my membership. Different employees would give me false info on how to cancel, or make excuses like saying «you can only cancel on a weekday from 9−5» (I was talking to them Tuesday at noon). Had to yell at them to finally get them to cancel, which all they needed was my last 4 digits of card number and email address.
Gym has good facilities and equipment, but they employ an extremely shady business model when it comes to cancellation. Absolutely absurd for such an established company.

Very busy gym :(
Need to wait for hours between sessions. So far hey have everything you need to complete your exercise.
They have a lot of cleaning issues I have noticed in very crazy uncleaned places here.
The stuff is welcome and informative… I love the price here, it’s only 29 a month — great isn’t it?

Good gym.
They have free parking, lots cardio and running machines, a big free weight room, a swimming pool, sauna.
There is not wifi, locks in cabinets and towel service.
They have different classes and comfortable schedule.

This is one of the more solid LA Fitness Gyms in the area. They have a full court basketball court (with high ceilings, unlike the La Cienega location), tons of machines, a big free weight room, lots of cardio machines, and a semi-​clean locker room with a steam room.
Beware of the testosterone in here, especially during peak hours. The downside is that the gym can get extremely crowded and aggressive. I would recommend going during off hours (anytime outside of 4:30pm-8:30pm).
They also have a new CryO ice therapy room that seems to be catching popularity

This gym is great. Its not the most fancy or the most new, but you can def get a good workout. Keep in moving for a fast workout and you will get in great shape here! I go early in the morning so never have an issue waiting. Weight and treadmill areas give you great opportunity to change your body. Not sure how it is at peak hours though. Also, I have no interaction with the staff so not rude or super nice, the girl just sacns my card in the morning. Great location too.

I was working in the area for the week so I decided to use this place because of the convenient timing/​location. I showed up at 430 AM every morning for 5 days and was disappointed every time. The equipment is poorly maintained with several items missing pieces or lacking certain functions (like the inability to adjust the seats on certain machines, or machines stuck in certain positions). The weight area is consistently dirty with bottles left from the prior night, and weights always unracked. I understand members are responsible for racking their own weights but I believe LA Fitness is responsible for cleaning up at the end of the business day and creating a clean, neat, and presentable gym at opening time for its members-​and I didn’t see that once here. I’m happy I had a place to workout but I definitely wouldn’t pay for this to be my home gym-​find somewhere else.

I decided as my 24^th birthday gift to myself that I would become healthy again and be where I was three years ago. So I got a gym membership at LA Fitness and couldn’t be happier. Nathan is the training director who helped me. He asked me what I wanted to accomplish and had me rate myself after my training. He reassured me that if I wanted to see results that he will help me accomplish them. If anyone is thinking of getting a gym membership and live in Hollywood, make sure to go see Nathan because he will take care of you and get you set up with THE BEST trainer that they have! He is your guy.

Justin is a great new trainer here at Hollywood LA Fitness. I recommend checking him out for the motivation you need during your work out. Thanks for pushing me J!

Before I sit down to write this review, I wanted to make sure that I had adequate enough time to fully explain my true feelings for this gym. I don’t believe there are any words in use today in the English language, perhaps maybe in some ancient Eastern European language, that could describe how filthy, disgusting, unkempt and thrown away this gym is. I feel like the LA Fitness Company has designated this gym the red-​headed stepchild of their chain in Southern California and anywhere else for that matter. Unfortunately for this gym it’s biggest pro also happens to be one of its biggest cons. The fact that it’s located in the center of Hollywood along the Hollywood Walk of Fame means there is a ton of tourist traffic, by foot and by car. Also its location near iconic buildings like the Chinese Theater, the El Capitan Theater and the Dolby Theater where the Oscar’s are held and several movie premieres during the year take place at the other venues, means constant street closures. This makes it difficult for those to get to the gym that have to drive and cannot walk or don’t have time to walk. At times it even makes it difficult for those who walk to the gym because walking routes can be shut down by city officials as well during said events, making what would normally be a 10 minute straightforward walk to the gym a 20-​minute labyrinth to get to that grand double staircase.
Let’s say you finally get through that mess in your car, and you get into the parking structure to park, which is independently managed by another company. Yes, the parking is free with validation for 2.5 hours, but 75% of the time there is something going on where one of the 2 exit lanes is shut down and it takes you 10 to 15 minutes to get out of the parking structure itself. When I say 75% I could be exaggerating a little, but more times than not I have experienced an issue with getting out of the parking structure expeditiously so I don’t go over my time and have to pay. A lot of times this could be caused just by an idiot who didn’t’ pay for their parking in advance or just a clown with no common sense, but the staff running the parking is barely there when you need them and incompetent at best. Now that you’ve parked and made it inside, prepare to be ignored at the front desk by some of the rudest staff I’ve ever encountered in a gym reception area. They are too busy on their cell phones and god forbid they have to multitask and scan your barcode, while answering the front desk telephone. Apparently they aren’t taught that in training. Also, there is almost always a line as you enter of people waiting to get their barcode scanned so that they can enter the gym. Okay, you made it past the front desk and you’ve validated your parking ticket and you head to the locker room. I have been a member at 24 Hour Fitness, Crunch, Bally’s and Equinox in and outside of Los Angeles, California, and never have I ever been in a men’s locker room where I have found blood on the floor (more times than I care to remember), vagrants using locker room facilities, and the stench of mold and mildew that would give any grandma’s attic or basement a run for its money. The locker room is ALWAYS filthy, almost ALWAYS out of paper towels, the sauna smells like feet and though LA Fitness is not at fault for this, it is full of older men cruising around in towels waiting at any moment for any guy under the age of 40 to take their shirt off. Well hurry up and get out and bring a good lock because like all budget gyms, people are just waiting for you to throw your stuff in a locker without a lock (which if you do you are an idiot) so they can steal your shit. You’ve parked, you’ve used a tried and true lock to store your stuff away and survived the trolls in the locker room and now it’s time for the main event. Only problem is, although it has gotten a bit better, the equipment tends to always be «under repair» which means there are a lot less options for those of you who like the cardio machines. I use them briefly for a warm up and go to hit the weights. It’s quite spacious this gym, but it wouldn’t hurt them to clean the filthy, dirty carpet. The carpet looks like it’s been in the space longer than the actual gym has been in existence. The dirt and filth on the carpet is obvious. I think it was originally a gray color. It makes sense to me that a gym that has such a high volume of patrons would have a bigger budget to make sure that they have staff to repair equipment and to keep the gym somewhat clean. Starting with a clean carpet. Whatever, it’s just a dirty carpet, it won’t stop you from getting your lifting done bro, but wait, what will stop you from getting your lifting done bro is the fact that nothing is ever where it’s supposed to be except for the machines bolted to the floor. Need a 45-​pound dumbbell or a 90-​pound barbell? Well Easter came early, because you are about to embark on the biggest Easter egg hunt of your life. (con’t

Friendly staff

Cody Smith is the best trainer, he really knows what is he doing. When you starting to hate your personal trainer, you know he is the best. One of my best gym and training experiences ever !

Great gym, excellent staff! Jamal was as sweet as they get. My complimentary training session with Cody Smith was painful but extremely informative (no pain-​no gain). I learned in one session what i haven’t in many others with other trainers in the past. He’s a really down to earth and encouraging trainer. Can’t wait to have more money to spend on a training package with him. This gym is so worth every penny. Facilities are well maintained and all the machines i like to use. I used to be a member at Equinox and it just wasn’t worth paying over 200-​/​month. With the money i save i can go to Hawaii every 3 months. Equinox is for suckers!
#LAFitnessmademedoit

I wholeheartedly honor by personal coaches JAKE BROWN and ELIJAH STRUILL for their immense love and patience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

This place is awesome!!! If you really want to get results, this place is there for you! I didn’t know how to work out effectively, but since I finished my very first personal traning, I learned so many things in just 30 minutes! I felt so great! My personal trainer Nathan is amazing and the best! He helped me a lot and I think he is an ideal trainer for everyone! Thank you so much Nathan!

Hmmm where should I start. Okay let me start from
1. I bought a membership with personal training sessions with one salesperson who he promised me to train me certain sessions for free. well, he never failed doing that but unfortunately he was relocated and I was screwed I thought. So one night
–i ran into a guy who I actually saw him allllll the time at the gym without knowing who he was but always friendly (with smile) I told him what happened and without hesitation. He’s willing to take that responsibility and train me. Thank u Nathan (I found out he is a sales manager) for taking well care of your customer to make your best for this place.
2. To me, this place isn’t all that bad. It’s clean enough to me. Well, I don’t sit on the floor. But overall, I saw the cleaning lady alllllll the time doing her job with her kind attitude and actually picked up my trash before I did. I didn’t mean to but she was faster than me. Haha
3. It’s a little crowded but Mayb it’s all that new year resolution. I believe soon will be less people.
4. Parking is validated 2.5 hrs not bad at all. at least for u to finish all your businesses, trained, clean up and looking at yourself in the mirror lol.
5. Trainers are friendly. Well at least who I trained with, Elijah, Tyrone, Olivia. Thanks so much.
6. I hate cvs. Because I bought something every time I came out of the gym. With the spend $ 15 get $ 5 off. I hate u. U got me every time! Lol * nothing to do with the gym* but it’s always got me!
7. Juice bar, which I have never tried lol
Give this place a try. They give u 7 days pass for free. They gave it to me: D and so far I’m happy with this place.

I’ve been a member of LA Fitness for a very long time, and I’ve definitely seen some changes over the last few years, but none are more significant than the training staff, which is why I had to post a review. I’ve had trainers before, but never EVER have I had a trainer as all-​around AWESOME as Nathan at the Hollywood LAF. I was not able to WALK for three days after our session (in the best way possible). He was so encouraging without doing any of the normal cheesy trainer things, he listened when I said I couldn’t do anymore and then politely kicked my ass to my actual edge. He helped to set realistic goals about weight loss/​strength/​endurance, was totally positive and inspiring, and helped to work within my budget. Please, please, please go to see him if you want to make a big and wonderful change in your life!

This LA Fitness is two stories tall. They have its own garage parking lot. You can get your parking validated at the entrance of LA Fitness. To enter this gym, you will need to take the elevator. This gym is not open ²⁴⁄₇.
This gym has a drink bar to order different types of smoothes, protein shake, and even coffees! This gym has a pool, sauna, basketball court, tennis court, and a workout class room. The gym provides variety of group workout classes such as yoga, hip-​hop dance class, kick boxing and more. This gym does not have a seperate workout room for women. If you visit this location during busy hours, you might have to wait to use a machine. But overall, great LA Fitness gym to visit.

The salesmanship is a little huckstery but arent they all at gyms? If you can weather that storm its a nice place in terms of vibe. Not quite the same douchery or meatheads that proliferate the local Golds and 24 Hour in Hollywood. The classes are great and in a huge room. Wish there was more than one basketball court (cause the one they have is always fully occupied) but a chill environ to get your workout on.

Worst gym ever. Locked me into a personal training contract that I could not get out of for any reason, including losing my job. I pay $ 200 per month for four 25-​minute personal training sessions. To cancel my contract before one year, I have to pay $ 100 per month for the remaining months of the contract, but get no service for the $ 100 monthly payment. The gyms are dirty and feel really low-​cost. Don’t waste your money.

This is my favorite of the LA Fitness locations near me. Free parking with validation, very clean locker room, and I’ve never had to wait to use a machine here even when they are busy.
I wish the sauna room was larger like the location near Bundy. On multiple occasions I’ve seen people laying down when it’s crowded in there and they leave their towel spread across the bench while they come in and out of the room to shower. Speaks more of the clientele though.
Also not a fan of the cryo-​freeze (or whatever that silly thing is called) people trying to talk to you when you’re heading into the locker room, but I imagine they’re told to do this. I used to really enjoy stretching in that area where they built it. It’s not peaceful to stretch near the weights where everyone is dropping them loudly.

I’ve been a member here for seven years. They advertise being able to put your account on hold when leaving town or traveling. I’ve never need or tried to do this before. The first time I do the inform me after keeping me on hold for 11 min that they are happy to freeze my account starting 25 days from now as they have just billed me 4 days ago and there is nothing else they can do for me! THANKS Elaina! Thanks for wasting 20 mins of my day!

This place is ridiculous. There’s a good selection of machines, and their hours are all right, but everything else about it pretty much sucks.
It’s always filthy, crumbs trash and other stuff stuffed in to the machines and on the mats. But I have to tell you, I see people vacuuming this place constantly. The clientele I think is just that messy and inconsiderate. The workers aren’t always a ball of sunshine, but in general they’re not incredibly rude. Some are actually nice, but if you need help there’s always some reason why you’re not gonna be able to get whatever it is that you need.
The clientele here pretty much seems to think that reracking your weights and wiping your equipment and not leaving your stuff laying around for everybody to trip on is below them, and the staff– as far as I have seen in over two years of coming to this gym– doesn’t take the initiative to put some weights away.
Honestly, the location is exactly where I need it and I like their brand of equipment that they have, otherwise Id have moved somewhere else. Every dumbbell or barbell I needed was not on the rack but not being used by anyone I could see, and out of the six people that are in the weight room between 6 AM and 8 AM no one seemed willing or kind enough to help me move 360 pounds of weight off of any of the equipment.
Never ever ever bring a friend here or get them a three day pass! They will riddle you’re friends with sales calls.
So I’m leaving the gym after my morning workout right now, but I wasn’t able to get a lot that I wanted to do done because every single machine in the weight room had at least 180 pounds of weight put on each side and no one bothered to put it back. Yeah I’m strong, but by the time I’ve moved 360 pounds of weight how much of a leg day am I going to get in?
Pretty much…
There’s no consideration for anyone else in this place at all.
Always have another exercise that you can do instead of the one you wanted to do in the weight room
Don’t expect it to be clean so don’t just bring a towel bring Lysol wipes or something
And never ask anyone for help.

This is a great gym. I recently went in to book some training as a Christmas gift for my husband who wants to train for a Tough Mudder next year. We’re already members so it just made sense that I get his training where we already go 3 – 4 times a week. I met with Andre Mulligan and we put together a great plan that I’m really excited to give to my husband. I know some people get bent out of shape because it’s busy but if you go during peak hours to a club on Hollywood Blvd., I’m not sure what else you expect.
Anyway, great gym and great staff.

Overall the gym is functional — it has all the machines and free weights that you would expect.
However, there are a few drawbacks. Firstly, it is almost always very busy, especially the free weights area. Secondly, the free weights are often strewn all over the place — when you do manage to find space to work out it is difficult to find two matching weights. Thirdly, there are no towels at this gym, so the machines and benches can be pretty sweaty from previous users.
Lastly, as with all LA Fitness gyms, there is the difficult process of canceling membership. Like other reviewers, I have been having difficulty canceling my membership here.

Club has been unable to provide a personal trainer to me for about the past 6 weeks yet continue to charge me.
Manager says he’ll call you without actually knowing your name or number.
Frequent turnover of staff.
