What can I say? This LA Fitness is brand spanking new. The crowds are low. I go normally on Sunday nights where there's hardly anybody there. The machines are new with TVs on them. The only thing I felt strange was the pool is right in front and people can peek in to view swimmers. Other than that, it's a great place to get in shape.

UPDATE: For a while it was cleaner, but now there are moldy shower curtains and the locker room smells like an old sneaker. Also, ONCE AGAIN they chose to have their male fixit guy repair the shower at 7am, when people need to shower and get to work. I understand that things need to be fixed in the women's locker room and you might not always be able to get a female plumber, but can't you do it at at time when things are a bit slower and fewer people need to shower? It is another example of how much they care about their customers. Shame on LA Fitness for letting any club deteriorate so much it's in this condition. I would like to like this place, but I can't, because it has been steadily going downhill for some time now, and the problem is that since the place is so packed with Bally's people, it won't ever get turned around. What's good: The patrons are nice What is lacking: Many machines make funny noises because they are old and not maintained The whole place is filthy and needs a paint job Carpet is worn and has ripples it's so old The pool is sometimes not heated Several soap dispensers in the showers have fallen off walls exposing rusty screws They had a problem with black flies in the showers, but that seems resolved but is replaced by a cricket problem They have security issues (car break ins, locker break ins) Sometimes the music is SO LOUD that you have to crank up your earphones to hear your own ipod. I often find a big black hairball over the drain in the shower Generally, this place needs an infusion of cash. Now, I understand and expect this sort of situation from a place like 24 Fitness, because people are paying $300 for 2 years if they buy the membership from Costco. But LA Fitness charges significantly more. I've only been in one LA Fitness that was more ghetto than this one and it was in Van Nuys/Sherman Oaks. That one was so gross they shut it down and built a new one. This one is going that direction.

This L.A Fitness is awesome because it has a pool, sauna, and racquet ball court. I was really happy that it was so close but also that their equipment is so new. Besides this I gave them a star down because the people in the gym are a bit talkative and try to get you to have a personal trainer. Other than that though this location is VERY busy and there are many people. I also dislike the fact that it seems every pool at L.A. Fitness can be looked into so that other people working out can see you swimming as they pass by.

Scandalous, scandalous, scandalous. The employees are very dishonest, and the corporation itself trains them to do so. So not worth your time, I promise!

Awesome gym. Friendly staff . Great vibe at every corner of the gym
