The red room layout here was very well thought out. Front desk staff was friendly and gave me a quick tour since it was my first time at this location.

I was worried because I didn't know what to expect, but it was fun... And wow, what a great work out! I was struggling to keep up, but you can basically go at your own pace if it's too fast for you. The instructor was nice and helped explain things to me when I was confused on certain workouts. No one in the class made me feel awkward or uncomfortable for not knowing exactly what to do at times.

I have been going to the Restore class, which is conveniently 7pm-8pm after work and before bedtime, it's a perfect wind down. Colleen leads this class and shes PHENOMENAL!

This girl will go above and beyond to support what you need and answer questions. GIVE THIS GIRL A RAISE! The pool is always clean and ready to go, while there's no hot tub the Women's sauna is a pretty good size and remains clean and smelling good. The equipment is generally nicer and more maintained than surrounding LA fitnesses and the comped parking is SO appreciated! For folks new to LA fitness, I would avoid entering any GRIP raffles for personal training if you're familiar with your own body's way of working out or have a strong sense of athleticism. They sell a little too hard, instead of prioritizing what you're needing in a PT. Just my two sense as someone who has worked with many. They may be good for brand new gym joiners or folks who do not have a ton of athletic experience. Thanks LA Fitness Northrup (and thank you Tricia) for a 5 star experience nearly every single time.

This includes constant equipment slamming, taking up machines they are not even using, and excessive grunting. I understand that some noise is normal, but when it happens every set of every exercise, to the point where I can hear it through my headphones, it becomes a real issue. When I bring this to the front desk, they usually just shrug and say they will talk to him, but nothing ever changes. If you are considering joining and plan to work out on weekday evenings, I would look elsewhere. Some people never grow out of high school behavior, and it really shows at this gym.

I've been going here for years. Staff members are friendly and welcoming. There are some downsides…read moreto consider though: 1. Parking - Extremely small lot. You can sit and wait for a spot, but otherwise you have to pay for parking on the street which adds to the monthly membership costs quickly. Years ago they had a second lot, but that has since closed and nothing else added. 2. Equipment - There is a fair amount of equipment which is nice, but a lot of it is old and outdated. Only one new piece of equipment has been added recently and it's some weird cycling arm machine I've never seen anyone use. 3. Hours - Open hours have been cut back over the years. If you work out late, probably not the gym for you. Other pros beside the staff: access to pool and sauna, fairly large gym space

Coach Niko was quick to respond. Within minutes I was scheduled and ready to go. I've taken an OT class before and was looking forward to the circuit training. Arrived for a noon session and started with the treadmill. Not my favorite, but the other attendees inspired me to run harder. Did the circuit exercises and the row machine after that. Coach Niko was encouraging and made sure I challenged myself. I think I got 46 Splat points. Not bad! I used the shower afterward and it was clean and well equipped with amenities.

I don't remember our instructors name but they were super helpful and knowledgeable in the subject. I was confident in my skills after the class was over. After the class they let you keep climbing for as long as you'd like or they give you a pass to come back the same day (for free!) The gym itself has lots to offer! There's a rock climbing area, gym (weights and machines), locker rooms, and a sauna! There may be more upstairs but I didn't make my way up there. Parking: we did street parking and it was pretty inexpensive (I think it was $2/hour). I don't believe they have a parking lot so street parking will be your only option.

The studio is clean, modern, and has that motivating energy the moment you walk in. Instructors pay close attention to form, which makes the workout feel both challenging and safe.
