Palmdale Fitness Club

I love this gym I been going for 3 years already lost a lot of weight and very friendly

I go to the In Shape Fitness in East Palmdale. I have to say that I am getting the best training from Ian Vaughn. I have had some previous injuries that my trainer, Ian has helped me through. My shoulder clicked every time I raised my arm before I started working out under Ian’s training. Now my shoulder feels completely healed, completely strong! Thanks to Ian and the TRX Training that he trains me on.
Now the big one! I had a large V-​Tear in the meniscus of my left knee, this has been a bother and allot of pain for me. I noticed my first few months of training my legs and knee were getting stronger. I since had a terrible respiratory infection and had to lay off the fitness workouts and training for a week and my muscles are tightening on my leg where my bad knee is. I went back for training and my workout with Ian stopped the pain in my leg at least for awhile until I do some more workouts.
If anyone needs someone who knows medical fitness, I would tell you Ian Vaughn is the trainer that you would need.
The people in the In Shape Gym are all friendly and always give me a good morning. I can’t be happier with In Shape!
Oh I forgot to mention, I have a membership with 24 hour fitness also, but I go to In Shape Fitness.
Thanks you all for listening to my share!

I made Unilocal just to write this review. I feel the need that people should know. I went to the gym on ⁰⁹⁄₀₄ around 6pm. The sales rep was polite and understood my expectations and needs. However, the bald guy in his 50’s was very unprofessional, rude and no work ethics. I understand the need of a same day close. But that guy was just very pushy. When i went in i said my expectations, that i just want to look for gyms around town and decide later which one would be more convenient for me. I work in sales as well and the way the bald guy talked to me was unprofessional. I did tell the guy, i may look young but i’m not dumb and I walked away. Just be careful when going to that gym. The parking is horrible, the gym is way packed and small.

Joe the manager from this place is soo nice! He totally took care of me. i cant wait to come and workout and do spin!

You see their billboards all over the Antelope Valley, so since my membership ended at 24 hour fitness and they are closer, I figured i’d give them a try. The billboards say $ 30/​month, no contract. Ok. sounds good. Then I try to join online and it requires 2 months payment at a time. I call and a chick answers the phone, I explain to her the online situation and she says if you come in, then you can pay for just the one month for $ 30.
So, I drive there dressed in my workout apparel, excited about the zumba class that i’ll take after signing up. A young man greets me and then says that its $ 49 if I want to pay for one month. I said thats not what I was told over the phone and point out the lady that I spoke with. She then says «oh…yea, its $ 49 if you pay for just one month» You could have told me that over the phone and saved me some gas. If I had the $ 49 for one month, then I would just add the $ 11 to it and pay the $ 60 for two months.
Bad business…
The yearly membership there is $ 299. Save yourself some money, go to costco and buy the 24 hour fitness 2-​year membership package for $ 299. Thats what I intend to do!

This place is a trap. I signed my son up because the owner promised me I could supervise his lifting and spot him for free. First day we go to work out the staff barred me from the gym unless I paid. Not a fit for us so we cancelled. I had to write a letter to cancel etc… And they still referred me to an aggressive collection agency that calls me all the time and is threatening to damage my credit. This place is worse than 24 hour fitness.

Most of the machines work. There is hardly a wait to get on a machine. there are employees constantly walking around wiping down the machines. everyone is friendly… the tall girl in the front with long brown curly/​wavy hair is always nice to everyone… What more can you expect? Its great! doesn’t have fancy spa stuff in locker room… but I prefer that way… that stuff usually crowds a locker room…

Cool spot. Nice staff, clean and machines that work. Best gym in the AV for sure.

WARNING PARENTS! Your child is NOT SAFE in the «KID’S CLUB!» My son was injured while in the Kid’s Club at Palmdale Fitness Club. This is a childcare area that parents pay for so that their child is, presumably, safe while they work out. Many promises are made, such as that children who hurt others are kicked out. I found this to be false when my son was injured by eight children, simultaneously, in less than an hour while I worked out on a busy Monday night. The area was seriously overcrowded when I picked up my son and learned of his injury. The three girls supervising were clearly overwhelmed by the more than 50 children (the room capacity sign says that the limit is 42) who were present, including about 10 babies, and one of them yelled at my son when he told me that he was screaming for help from the back of the room and none of the girls came to help him, or even noticed what was going on. When I informed the manager of the problem, I thought they would take care of the problem and nothing like this would ever happen again. The next day, the manager claimed that there were only 19 children in the kids club all day, that they had no metal or hard plastic toys, and the, «owner,» told me that I was harassing his employees and I was kicked out of the club.
The response to unsafe conditions for our children, was lying and shifting blame, rather than taking care of the problem. Further, no concern was given for my son’s injury that left a 3″ bruise straight across his foot because a child had hit him brutally with a hard plastic baby toy (the kind you roll across the floor). He was also very upset by the incident, so I told him that he didn’t have to go there again. He had previously had a chunk of hair pulled out of his head and I was assured that the child who pulled the hair out would be ejected from the Kid’s Club, so I thought they were serious about child safety. The, «owner,» who never gave his name, said snidely, «who are you gonna complain too?»
I learned from this incident that this childcare area is not licensed to provide care to children by the State as other types of businesses are required to do. Most childcare facilities have strict rules about the number of children per adult and the ratio goes down significantly when they also care for babies because of the level of care required to keep babies safe. The, «owner,» has not responded to a letter I sent, he has not returned any money to me for lost club time and personal training sessions I paid for. It is clear that this club exploits children and parents just to get you to join. It really is one of the only perks this club has, since there are no amenities like a jaccuzzi, sauna, massage, juice bar, or any other perk that would entice the health conscious to join.
If you leave your child here or at any other health club, BEWARE! There is currently very little recourse for injury to your child. In fact, you are liable if your child injures another child. The clubs avoid nearly all responsibility and they are currently taking advantage of you and your child when they are over-​crowded, do not engage children in meaningful activities, do not met the safety needs of your child, and you and your child end up paying the price! The clubs are laughing all the way to the bank at the expense of you and your child.
Report an injury at this facility directly to the Mayor of Palmdale and the Palmdale City Council, and express your concerns to the State of California Community Care Licensing division who currently does not oversee any childcare facility in a health club (but they should!). Report any overcrowding concerns to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Take pictures! Force these business operators to do the RIGHT thing to earn our money!
Please let me know if your child has been injured in this facility as the basis for a possible class action lawsuit against this facility and others like it.

I love just how friendly the staff is. The membership is very low and they offer a lot of things. I lost 9 pounds in just a week and a half. Am very happy

Great place and awesome trainers. Well maintained and THE gym to go to if you live in East Palmdale or anywhere in the AV.

How I’d describe this place… Clean, clean, clean.
The previous gym that was here never bothered to keep the place up. Now everything is new and kept neat (I see the staff cleaning constantly). The sign up process was smooth and simple and for being a ‘new’ gym they managed to offer the same classes and personal training that you can get at any other gym.
You can’t beat the low cost to join, you’re getting way more than you bargained for at that price.
So far the customer service has been friendly and helpful.
Keep up the good work Palmdale Fitness Club.

Okay, so this is a new gym that replaced 24. Now lets start with the staff, most of them are great like anywhere else theres a few that can go but over all helpful and friendly.
They have a lot of classes; zumba, booty basics, yoga, bootcamp etc. I suggest going to kevins’ zumba classes hes great!
Now as for the machines, they all are brand new. So thats great. A plus is that the treadmills have individual TVS, makes it not get boring.
As for the locker rooms, pretty good. All new lockers, but same old gross toilets and showers so that kind of sucks.
For all you parents, they still have the day care.
They are open 24 hours, you scan your card to work out, they offer personal trainers, daycare, and supposedly according to a staff I spoke with they will eventually have a suana and juice bar.
Overall, same as 24… just close for all you east siders out there.
