LA Fitness

I have been coming here for a while now, and was never thinking of rating it. To me it’s a gym that I come in and out, do what I need to do (not make friends).
Although I have to agree with most people, the gym looks and is old… Not the best LA Fitness I been, this gym just makes the other La Fitness look bad and I feel sorry for them.
Now, what really got me to rate this gym was because the staff members (not all of them of course). There are people that should not be working there… Mainly talking about the childcare, so today my sister too her daughter to the day care and the babysitter was just on the phone or in the computer!!! And she only had two little girls to be taking care of… And as soon as my niece cry she called the mom… Really??? don’t you need to have some kind of patients to be working there? The babysitter just told my sister, «I tried». Babysitters attitude was defiantly not the right one, to be working there. If your not happy with your job then don’t work there.
My sister there is one babysitter that she likes because I guess they play with the kids. My main concern here was the children.

Some of the staff seem like their just jerks. I go to cancel my membership and it feels as if I were being integrated asking all these questions. Supposedly I had paid my first and last month and ended up getting charged for my last month. Poor service.

If there was a something below a 1 star that’s exactly what it is. This is the garbage of garbage gyms. The staff here is lazy as fuck. A few… Wait about 98 percent of the the gym equipments is breaking down and isn’t even stable. Hard to find equipment to use. This place is absolutely garbage. Probably the worst LA Fitness I’ve been too. How this place still stays in business or even continues to get memberships is mind blowing. Oh and the equipment here is the same shit from when the first LA fitness we opened and every other LA fitness I’ve been too has already upgraded their equipment 3 times within the past 10 years. This place hasn’t even done it once. Some of the most disrespectful dirtiest people here too since they don’t put their shit back and you can find anything here. K I’m done.

This club has little to offer. All equipment is old and outdated. There is no juice bar. Air ventilation is almost null. You can stand around for 5 minutes and get a good dripping sweat. I’m told by members that this is probably because of its low income location. My L A FITNESS club in Garden Grove, Ca. I’d smaller but is way updated. If you live near here I would suggest the 24 HOUR FITNESS down the street on Imperial highway. At least their machines and equipment are more updated and they have a juice bar.

Checked out this location while staying with an aunt who lives in the area I honestly felt like I stepped back in time. LA fitness should be ashamed of themselves for not upgrading this location yet. The equipment was very old and rusty I have been to numerous LA fitness locations and this was the worst. The staff was friendly and helpful my rating is for the conditions of the gym only;)

SAFETY HAZARD:
This is the worst LA fitness location I’ve ever been to on many levels: safety, cleanliness, updated equiptment, friendliness of staff, to name a few.
Safety: This is the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. And luckily it hasn’t broken a humans back yet. Machine 53 is shown in the attached picture. Both sides are like this, the mating surfaces with a 2 mm gap in them. These four bolts are now essentially keeping the machine together by sheer, not tension. This is plain dangerous since this is not their design. Lucky they haven’t snapped yet and broken an arm or skull (overhead row machine). And it is clear this has been like this for a while, since dust has collected within the pieces supposed to be touching. Many machines are loose and in dangerous conditions like this. Every weight-​sliding surface I’ve used could use a serious greasing. Maintenance here is pathetic.
Cleanliness: Let’s just say, I sweat more than most humans, and I will not step foot in their showers. Outside in the weight area it’s nothing better. Clearly this location needs to hire cleaners who know what their doing, or show up to work.
Updates: all treadmills are older than I am, and all free weight equiptment has been around the block something serious. This wouldn’t be an issue if they were properly maintained, but back to point 1 for that…
Friendliness: I have never gotten a smile, and rarely ever get a hello from the front desk staff at check in. The majority of employees are behind their computers trying to either sell memberships or on their phones. You know how you sell memberships, LAF? Make your product something people want to buy. See points 1, 2 and 3 for improvements on that…
Lastly: LA fitness Santa Fe, get your act together before you’re out of a job. You’re heading straight there. In this market of 24hour fitness and the likes, you’re product is failing hard to be on the level of even your own company’s other locations, let alone a competitors gym.

My level of experience with gyms is low so I can’t compare it to much but my first impression of this gym was that I liked it. It’s a bit old & retro but it’s clean & what I really like is how it isn’t packed after work. I was able to use all the machines I wanted. The main reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because I didn’t see anything to wipe down the machines with when done. The 24 HR fitness I used to go to had paper towel dispensers & anti-​bacterial spray throuout gym. With everyone sweating on the machines that would be a good idea to have available.
My first day Esteban showed me around & showed me some exercises which I was very grateful for. He provided me with great service. Looking forward to more time at this gym.

I went to this gym last week because I was visiting with my parents so I am not a regular here and I’m sure as hell glad I’m not because this gym is disgusting! Weights are EVERYWHERE why is nobody re-​racking the weights!!! Also at the time only ONE out of TWO stair masters were working but it literally only stays at one speed. So disappointing this gym needs Jesus!

I go to this gym usually around noon or so and its not bad at all. The staff keeps to themselves and I keep it to myself. If I ever need help they’re willing to help but if you just want to get your reps in and get out then noon should be a good time cause nobody’s really there. I like to work in silence and nobody really bothers me. Just see the same faces everyday and say hi to them and that’s all. Weights are all over the place but all gyms are like that. It’s not going to satisfy everyone but work with what you got in front of you and you should be fine! No crybaby here.

This place has become a hang out for high school football players who just want to hang out and occupy the machines, while not really working out. ALL of the machines are outdated and half of them have a «out of order» paper on them. I only have 2 stars because it’s convenient and i HATE the atmosphere at the pico one!

Came using a guest pass. Staff was super friendly, the gym is a bit older but nothing was broken and it was pretty clean. Carpet in the bathrooms is sorta weird.

Depending on the day the staff is nicer than on other days. Place is looking a little run down over the time but your here to workout. I would suggest bring own towels some people are inconsiderate and leave some machines a little wet. But most people come here to workout and not try to show off.

This is a poor, dirty and run down LA Fitness I have even seen! The staff just sit around while the machines are dirty. I have uploaded a pic of the machine with lots of rust!!! Yuck and doesn’t work well at all!

Horrible kids klub, horrible assistance.
Check out other locations especially if you have kids.
I visited this location once and will never return again! Their kids klub area is poorly managed. There is one girl for how ever many kids come in.
I dropped of my girls at their kids klub. At the time there was only two other kids, making it 4 total. After a 45 min work out I go and check on them and my youngest is crying. I go to see what’s wrong and her mouth was covered in blood. The girl said she had 20 kids and that it was hard to watch them all. The front desk was of no use. I asked for a first aid kit, no aid was given. When I questioned the kids klub policy to the manager Melissa she said she didn’t know.
My daughter later told me girl was on her phone a lot.

The manager Melissa or whatever needs to
Get fired… Rude, shitty attitude, no knowledge of how to
Handle situations, nothing but dirty looks… Don’t hate your job so much sweetheart…

I went to this location last weekend. It’s pretty standard but I have to say it was quite dirty for a Saturday afternoon and it was not very busy. I normally go to another location that is much busier on a daily basis and much cleaner.
All of the showers had hair in the drain, there were paper towels strewn about everywhere. It honestly just looked and felt dirty.
I’ve been a member of L.A. Fitness for almost 10 years. I believe usually they deliver a consistent standard but really wish they were more committed to the CLEANLINESS and upkeep of their facilities.

I have visited and worked out at lots of LA Fitness locations, and have lots of good things to say about many of them. This is NOT one of those locations.
Front desk staff: With the exception of the front desk manager Melissa, this is one of the club’s very few bright spots. Early morning staff is nothing short of great. They are welcoming to members and enthusiastic about their jobs. They are focused on their member and and the service they provide to them. I really appreciate getting to the club bright and early only to be welcomed with a smile by these staff members! Though the aforementioned desk manager Melissa is a clunker, I still have to rate the desk staff as outstanding. 5 stars
Trainers: Though I have not done any training with them, Herman the manager is friendly and made the effort to learn my name by the 2^nd time I spoke with him. No technical rating. 4 stars for friendly and effusive personality.
Workout area: This has got to be one of the worst gyms in the chain. The equipment is very old, and other long time members have let me know not one piece has ever been upgraded since the grand opening. There are rubber coated dumbbells with the rubber coating almost entirely torn off, and the working floor is a mess ²⁴⁄₇. I have not once ever seen a staff member ever even set foot on the workout floor, much less rack and pick up weights. LA Fitness has a policy of doing an hourly walk through the club as a staff (coined ‘Club Prides’) to pick up trash in the locker areas, rack weight and dumbbells and generally tidy up the club. It is completely nonexistent here. The cardio equipment is also very old, though they do have a number of big screens directly at the front to watch while you are doing your cardio. 1 star
Locker area: Old, outdated with broken sinks and other items, as well as tons of trash scattered throughout the locker room all day long. At least the hot water works. 1 star
Basketball court: Playable though I do not see the number of players waiting to pick up games like I’ve seen at other locations. Because of that… 2 ½ stars.
Pool: It’s filled with water (sarcasm) and has a huge glass window throughout its entire length directly in front of one of the 2 workout areas. 2 stars
Working out at this gym has been huge disappointment for me as I struggle to find the 20 year old dumbbells and 30 year old pieces of equipment I need to finish my workout.
Overall rating: No club pride at this location. 1 ½ stars

There is never any wait for equipment here, its always clean.
The Trainers here are amazing, they will defiantly get you in the shape you want.
This club also has a a great staff, that are very helpful. :)

The machines are a little old, and when they break, it seems to take a while to fix them. I’ve heard rumors that it’s going to be renovated, but so far, those are just rumors.
That being said, it’s still a nice gym. I recommend hitting it in the morning (before 7AM) if you can. The morning crowd is thinner, and they tend to be more dedicated, so there are fewer people camping out on machines.

The gym allows you to do all the basic routines such as the Treadmills, workout equipments, etc.
The equipments are definitely outdated, but they usually work fine! Just becareful you don’t hurt yourself cause some of the treadmills are broken so when you step on the edge it goes right inside.
The bathroom does have a smell to it, usually it smells like chlorine though. I usually don’t pay too much attention because I’m here to workout not criticize how awful things are around the gym.
Customer Service from some of the front desks are nice.
