Both are co-ed and accessible directly through the pool area, not through the locker rooms, which actually makes them really convenient to get to. I will say the sauna does have a weird smell, which takes away from the experience a bit, but the steam room itself is solid. The gym overall is spacious with a good variety of equipment, and the pool area ties the amenities together nicely. It's a decent option if you're looking for a gym with accessible wellness features and don't mind the mixed-gender setup in the sauna and steam areas. read more

I frequent this because I work in the area. It is serviceable not a lot of frills but it is kept clean. Parking lot is big enough. Locker rooms like all LA are small. This is even smaller than the normal. read more

This gym sucks, honestly. The staff is terrible and there's always 3+ machines down. Currently they have 8 machines down which is INSANE! I understand that sometimes people don't take care of things but 9 machines? That's unacceptable. What do you even use our money for? Do better and hire better people cause truly, they ALL suck. read more

Marisol P is the most incredible Zumba instructor in the world. If you have the opportunity to take one of her classes I highly recommend that you go. I wish I could take her classes during the week. I look forward to Saturday morning all week. read more

The jacuzzi had been down for a week. When I ask politely and professionally when it will reopen I am not given an answer. Not the first time. Really sh*tty. read more

I went there last night, BEYOND dirty. The Womens locker room ... garbage was overfill and piling up garbage around it. Toilet paper EVERY WHERE. Pee on the floor. Didn't look clean even a little bit. Then wanted to work out ... half of the machines, especially the cardio were all out of service ! Once I finally found a treadmill ... covered in sweat and grease and paper towels in the cup holders. The gym had all kinds of garbage all over the entire gym. You can tell the gym was not keeping up with maintenance. So bad ! read more

This location is very clean and staff is friendly as well! Compared to the Edison location, there is no kids club for the parents. This gym is spread out , and loved that the turf training area wasn't packed. They offer a swimming pool, sauna & steam room! Definitely like this location will be coming back read more

Always have a great experience from the moment I walk in till I leave. The staff is respectful an welcoming. The gym is fairly clean, filled with good vibes. read more

Just coming back here to say that after 8 months, there have been no changes to the quality of this gym. It is overrun with disrespectful, younger kids who do not thing but talk when others are waiting for a bench for up to 20 minutes. In the weight room, there are barely any weights to choose from because they are scattered throughout the gym. I'm glad this is just a one day a week stop for me. If the management does read this, please encourage patrons and employees to respect the gym more. read more

Today i come in at 7:40pm and the young girl (looked like 16) abruptly shouts "Were Closed!" I corrected her saying youre supposed to close at 8pm, she responds in another rude tone, "were closed in 20min!" I just ignore her and scan in. Theres is 1 girl who greets you with a smile but most of the front desk staff are pretty rude. P.s. i did promptly leave at 7:59pm, and its not like anyone entering at 20min to closing would get any special treatment to stay past hours. So there is no reason to lie that youre closed, when you can simply say, were in closing in 20min. read more

I have no choice but to come to this LA since it's the closest to me, but this location is sooo dirty! The bathrooms are a wreck, the stretching room never gets sweepd and mirrors never get cleaned. The paper towels located around the gym are always empty. I'm starting to think they might be understaff, regardless, place is dirty. read more

LA Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Avenel, New Jersey

Hands down worst LA fitness in Woodbridge. Employees don't care about anything about that gym. And they allow mistreatment of every piece of equipment with no recourse. Sauna is also broke again for like 5th time due to the gym not cracking down on people using oils on an electric heater!!!! read more

If I could give them a negative rating I would. My elderly father was happy I purchased him a membership at this location to regain his health. They convinced him to buy a weekly training package. They consistently canceled his sessions due to a lack of staff to the point he was behind 25 sessions in 6 months (2 sessions weekly). They fired and changed trainers like you change underwear. They did not give him a booklet as promised until 6 months. Had zero check-ins and most trainers sat on their phones and did nothing with him. The ones who did leave or were fired. One was not even certified (how did he get hired? ) He canceled his training sessions because it was raising his BP due to the issues. They had no problem charging him nearly a thousand to cancel that with no remorse. I filed a complaint with corporate. Mr. McKinley advised me he would extend my father's trainer contract by 6 months to use the 25 missed classes. My father went to the facility. No one knew what he was talking about. The front desk was rude. My father was turned away. I spoke with the manager Estefani a week prior and she assured me she would set him up with their "top" trainer Alan. So I called again. The trainer manager Jasmine advised me "She wanted to right this wrong". She stated my father should not have had to go through this. It's been now two weeks with no resolution. I spoke with Jasmine multiple times who stated she messaged her Regional manager and had the confirmation email from Corporate proving the confirmed extension. She stated she would call me back end of the business day multiple times. She never did. No one has called my father. He is going there tomorrow to cancel his membership. I am betting they will charge him to do that as they have no problem taking an old man's money but not delivering AT ALL on any promise of service. I will continue to post and escalate this as far as I can. My father stated the facility's AC is defective, it's often hot. It is not clean often. The front desk has been rude. Staff retention is a revolving door. The parking lot is unsafe. People state a lot of theft occurs there. I would not advise anyone to use this location. I have always recommended this company as a great gym due to my previous experiences at other locations. I will never do so again. This has been a nightmare. read more

I went in for a tour today. The tour was very thorough, everyone on staff was very friendly and professional. The atmosphere was very welcoming! They have a ton of equipment at least 4 smith machines and 4 squat racks! Which is amazing in comparison to the LA Fitness in Clark which is bigger and only has two of each. They have a big space for tire flipping, overall I felt welcomed and didn't feel like just a number! You can tell they like to get to know their customers! Can't give it five stars as I haven't joined this location yet. Great first impression! read more

Overall I like the LA Fitness franchise and this new facility is beautiful, so I can't believe they blew it at the Edison location, esp on the maintenance "lean on the hygiene". Not a lot of spray bottles w sanitizer/cleanser or paper towels for members to wipe down the equipment; maintenance staff can't be everywhere all the time. The culture at many locations is members are expected to wipe down the equipment after each use, they had that even before the pandemic. And I can't believe they didn't put in a steam room :-( The vibe is so-so w not enough music & classes not yet in full gear. read more

I purchased a membership for my elderly father at the location so he could get his health back on track. Your facility conned him into a year long contract for additional trainer at $400+ a month. Which if you provided what your contact stated, i would get over it. Every trainer over 7 months he had either quit, got fired or didnt show and my dad came for no reason trainer wise. One wasnt certified he had for weeks and then you fired. They barely worked him out the full measly 30 minutes. My dad complained to management multiple times. All he got is im sorry. He never was measured (was told the location doesnt have a measurement tape). How does that make sense youre a gym? He still hasnt received the booklet for tracking or the program in 7 months he said he would get nor has he been re weighed or checked in on for progress. (thats rediculous). His bp jas been elevated bc your facility continued to stress him out. He finally stopped his trainer contract and was charged 750+ dollars for breaking the contract. I understand shame on him for entering into a contract but shame on you for not delivering ANYTHING your contract promised. How is that fair? Should you not be held accountable for that? He kept his membership due to location but is extremely upset over this ttainer program. I will be posting this publicly and filing with the bbb. And calling corporate. Im a gym rat myself and never in my life heard of this type of faulty contract follow through. For so long at that. And charging him a cancelation fee when you failed to deliver a service you promised him. read more

Im giving 2 stars for the overall gym equipment and cleanliness but the experience with the management was totally disastrous and the manager is rude enough to even not accept the fact there was issue on their end.I will write this story and you guys can decide whether this is something wrong on their part or my part. im visiting my sister for couple of months here in NJ and didnt want to lose my routine of going to the gym.So i decided to go to LA fitness in avenel since i had good experience when i came in september 2021 for a month.i went to the La Fitness on Novemeber 8th,2021.I was initially told that i had to pay 44$ for first and last month and initia fee of 49$ which was around 141.79$ including tax.Since i was here for 2 months.The representative said to come down here between 9am to 5pm weekday to cancel your membership if you dont want to get charged future along. Coming to December 3,i tried to call and see i can cancel the memebership via phone.The representative said you need to come down and talk to manager about it and she mentioned that dont do it on Demeber 7 as automated system might charge the previous day.I thought December 6 i will go to LA fitness and get it sorted.Being a software professional my day looked crazy on December 6 which was a monday.So i called in the morning around 9:26 and the manager picked up and said that come down and i can cancel your membership.So i went around 12 pm in between lunch time to squeeze things up (accordingly my google timeline it is between 12:34 and 12:48) to cancel the memebership.I spoke to manager and he said there are 2 membership of you.I said the other might be old membership.He said your membership is cancelled. Coming to December 10, i see 2 charges from LA fitness of 44.77 and 52.25(annual fee in description).So i called regarding this issue and i was transferred to the manager.i explained him of the situation and he said that your membership wasnt cancelled and you have to come down to cancel the membership.We had a bit of heated conversation since he didnt aknowledge the fact that there was issue with what he did.So i wanted to fix this issue i went to LA fitness Avenel.The manager was there i told him that during enrollment i wasnt told of any such transactions i was told to just make sure you cancel December 8.The manager showed that he is calm but he didnt even aknowledge the fact that there was issue on his side.he was explaining that 50$ was a annual fee and 44$ was monthly charge which you have to pay.This was under your contract (apparently which is around 5-6 pages and no one will have the time to read it).I noticed that this conversation wasnt going anywhere.So i mentioned that lets leave the annual fee and for the monthly charge i should be refunded since issue is on your end.He didnt even aknowledge that part.So i said let me talk to the representative who created the membership for me.I spoke to her and she went through the system and aknowledge the fact that there was some issue and went to speak with the manager.i was away from this conversation.Coming back she mentioned that there was no checkin on December 6 that you have come into the studio.I mentioned that i didnt check in since i was just coming to cancel the membership.Even i showed her my google timeline that i was here.She mentioned that i have no control over it.I went back to the manager and asked him again.He was just repeating the same thing and he mentioned something about if you had cancel the membership you had to pay a buy out fee.I was frustrated that he was such rude,thickheaded guy that he should just be in training and not as a manager who should be a people people.So this time i walked out taking the confimration of my cancellation. So what do you guys think? read more

Worst experience in trying to join club. I was asked to sit until the next admin person frees up. After waiting for nearly 20 min a guy showed to assist me. He took me to his desk did not give any info or handout and left to talk some people at front desk, I gave him the benefit of doubt something pressing needed his attention, by now I've been waiting for 30 minutes. Then when I asked the first guy who asked me to sit as I entered said we're having problems. A lame excuse, the way the situation was handled clearly tells this place is not a friendly environment. He was being a total a-hole in his demeanor and attitude. Will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

This location is near my home and I like the equipment very much, especially the steam room, sauna, spay and swimming pool. However I don't know why the spay always have problem and be closed often, many times the water temperature is lower than your body temperature, sometimes the water become green, recently it was closed over one month and the worker does not know when it will be re-open. Now I saw the spay water temperature is good and clean but the function button has been disabled and a note say the spay need maintenance. Customer are waiting and waiting and lost patience, a month passed already, what kind of maintenance need so long? The worker said the chemical in water need time to work. Do you think customer are fools with no knowledge? I try to call headquarter but can not find a 800 number, finally find one 1-800-600-2540 but it's a invalid number. Hope the gym manager will take his responsibility to fix the problems ASAP. I am complaining the gym is the one located at 1624 St Georges Ave Avenel, NJ 07001 read more

Horrible gym. Was a 25 hour fitness. When it was purchased by LA fitness they also purchased all the same machines that were there so you were paying for an LA fitness membership but not getting LA fitness quality machines. The pool and sauna were closed for months for Repair. Also the fans were broken for two months. They finally got those fixed now. The air conditioner hasn't worked since summer began and even before. I have called corporate numerous times nothing gets done. I've tried to get the general managers name for the area, but nobody will give it to me. It is a complete disgrace as of today still no air-conditioning. when you speak to the young lady upfront who is the operation manager she says she can't get anywhere with corporate to get it fixed. I was even told by the operations manager that, even if it was running, the temperature is controlled by corporate in another state doesn't matter how hot it is in there. Most fitness centers are horrible but this one takes the cake. it's almost dangerous to work out in there being how hot and humid it is in the gym, and can you imagine how horrible the smell is with that heat and humidity. Absolutely disgusting. Whoever is in charge of running this gym and LA fitness in general should be ashamed of themselves. read more

Its nice for workouts, but definitely not worth $35 a month. The bathrooms are messy and not cleaned at all. There are bugs in the showers. There are also a few hairballs in the pool the last time i went. The staff doesn't care at all even if you complain. There was once a ran over turkey in the parking and when I told them they said its not their problem read more
