    Great gym overall. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has everything you need whether you're lifting heavy, doing cardio, or getting a solid functional workout in. Equipment is in good condition and there's a good variety, so you're not waiting around forever even during busier hours.

    best bodybuilding gym in LA - super clean space, great staff & trainers, lots of protein and pre workouts to choose from, and a great outdoor space. easy parking, and it's pretty much always open so there's usually not a crowd to compete for machines with.

    As I mentioned in my previous review, I think the only knock on this gym is that there is not…read moreenough cardio equipment but all that being said it's a lifters gym so that makes sense. The place is always clean, weights are always put away, clientele is always for the most part working out, not carrying on with conversations or taking or making their own video production of their workout because they're an influencer, which don't give me wrong they are still here, but they're far a few between the other gyms. They offer ready-made meals, every kind of protein drink that you can come up with along with waters a place to sit and rest so you really can't go wrong with this gym. The owner Dave, his wife and the staff are all really really, really nice people.

    I have been a paying member of this gym and have generally enjoyed the facility, but my recent…read moreexperience with one of the night-shift employees was extremely disappointing. I purchased guest passes so I could bring my son to experience the gym. Instead of being welcoming or professional, the employee openly expressed that he did not like my son and stated that he would refuse to sell me guest passes in the future. I found this behavior completely inappropriate and unprofessional. Guest passes are offered by the gym as a service to members, and personal opinions about a member's family should never influence whether that service is provided. The employee's comments made both my son and me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I expect staff to treat all members and guests with respect, regardless of personal feelings. Management should address this issue and ensure employees maintain a professional attitude when interacting with customers.

    I started coming here after departing from 24 hour fitness. I was at 24hr fitness for over 10 years…read moreand I just had enough with the one at hermosa. It wasnt well maintained, dirty. Bathrooms smelled like horse manure. Filthy all around. Dont even get me started on the sauna. Mold and tore down all bad! Ive had the same experience with other neighboring 24hr facilities as well. Anyways, everything is clean here and just better options plus more. Highly recommend it here and they have a cryo chamber! Just costs a lil extra.

    Good location, hours, classes. I like how there are a lot of free weights; machines and there is a…read morelarge variety of cardio equipment. The tidiness of the gym could be improved; meaning, people do not always re-rack their weights and I am always having to hunt for certain plates. The restrooms could use some work, and I honestly, I have been to gyms that are way cleaner, but I guess that's what you get for a busy, popular gym. They honestly need more cleaning staff, and paper towels in the restrooms. But, these are all issues that you may see at other gyms. What I do NOT like is how pushy they are trying to get you to sign up for personal training. I asked for help on a machine that wasn't at my old gym, and next thing I know, the person signed me up for a free fitness consultation. So, I showed up. I already know what I need to work on and I am not new to exercising. I follow a certain plan already, and I am on a specific workout plan through my trainer that is provided by my health insurance. I switched gyms because I wanted one closer to home. They try to sell you on personal training, but I already have a program through my health insurance and they are VERY PUSHY about trying to get you to sign up. I told the sales man that I could not afford it because it isn't in my budget and they just won't stop. Besides, I get training for FREE. Why would I want to pay for extra? Well, he scheduled me for a follow up in 2 weeks. I find out a week later that he reschedules me TWICE without even asking me if I was available! No text, no email, NOTHING- just a notification on my UFC gym app. What the hell? I don't do this with my own private clients for my job and assume they are available to meet with me. I have to work at the time he rescheduled me for and I CANNOT miss work. I canceled that second rescheduled time and I am seriously not interested anymore! It's like I am not important so he just changes my appointment time... TWICE. That's probably better anyways because I did better on my own and it's too much stress and pressure to deal with. Now I just plan to work out and not even bother with personal training. Personal training is good for those people who have NO CLUE what to do. Maybe ask those people at the gym for personal training. Don't ask me because I'm just going to not even respond.

    Walking into this location feels less like a gym and more like a guided tour…read more Exhibit A -- Cardio Hall. Here we observe machines at least three generations behind what's running at other Equinox clubs. Remarkably well preserved. Please do not touch. Exhibit B -- The Palette. Yellowed satin white with pale blue painted accents. The palette follows conventions of the historical period; artisans remain unidentified. Reads Bay Club, not Equinox. Exhibit C -- Storage. This is how early humans secured their belongings: you brought a lock from home. Those who arrived without one -- as I did -- left the door open and trusted in God. Other Equinox locations have at least advanced to the rotating dial. Fifteen years ago my hometown gym opened lockers with a fingertip. Three years ago, with a face. Now, seriously -- none of this is hard to fix, and all of it is below the standard the brand charges for: 1. Cardio. A refresh is one request to headquarters away. Ask. 2. Paint. Reset to a clean pure white. Swap the blue accent for acoustic wood slat panels -- vertical battens on a black backing. Low cost, immediate lift, and it's the current Equinox language. 3. Lockers. Change the locks. Bring-your-own-padlock isn't acceptable at this price point. Keypad or RFID at minimum. Credit where it's due: the staff were friendly and respectful throughout, and I was here only as a visitor. But as it stands, this isn't a club I'd want as my home gym. Hopefully they've made some changes by the next time I'm in the area.
