I've been going to LA Fitness recently, and overall I really like it. They just opened a new swimming pool, which is a great addition and makes the gym feel more premium. I've recently been using the pool and the treadmill since I'm pregnant, and both have been really helpful for staying active. Most of the equipment is new and well-maintained, which makes workouts more enjoyable. My favorite part is the Zumba classes and I love the teacher. I do wish they offered yoga classes specifically for pregnant women that would make the experience even better. read more

How do you have staff so incompetent that they would shame and embarrass a mom for taking her 6yr old son with special needs, into the restroom with her? It'd be mind boggling if such a policy exists, especially nowadays, which would limit/prohibit a parent with a special needs child to only use a specific restroom, but even if such a mindless policy exists, at least train your brainless staff to address such incidents with grace and professionalism. Common sense and competency of staff is a direct reflection of management...it GREATLY lacks at this location. Do better read more

I am currently looking for a new gym since I'm new to the area, and this was a very disappointing experience. From the start, the staff was dismissive and unfriendly, and more focused on socializing with each other than assisting members. I scheduled a tour, but after being checked in, I was left to figure out the gym layout on my own with no guidance. Cleanliness was a major issue. Members were not wiping down equipment after use, and there was a noticeable lack of cleaning supplies available throughout the gym. It was genuinely unsanitary. Thankfully, I brought my own wipes, but that should not be necessary. To make matters worse, someone was actively working out inside the sauna, taking up the entire space, which is completely inappropriate and unhygienic. The free weight area is also extremely limited. If the personal training area were opened up, there would be much more usable space instead of forcing members to work out cramped next to benches. Overall, this gym lacks basic cleanliness standards, organization, and customer service. I would strongly discourage others from joining. read more

I have been going to this facility for a few years. The facility overall is very good in terms of conditions. The reason I only gave it 3 stars is the service. Despite the front staffs changing faces frequently, it seems the attitude doesn't. They don't appear to be that welcoming which is fine, but the bigger issue is they don't seem to care. When you report some equipment issues, they were like ok, we noted, then weeks later, the equipment still broken. read more

the most humid and scolding hot gym alll around: no one turns on the ac below 80 degrees?! its like doing hot yoga in yoga class.... not another yr of this update: the holes are fixed read more

This used to be my go-to LA Fitness location mainly because it was always clean and well-maintained, but over the past few months, I've noticed several issues that have really changed my impression. First, the paper towel dispensers are empty most of the time. I'm not sure if people are taking extra or if they're just not being refilled regularly, but it's become a recurring issue. It might seem like a small thing, but paper towels are one of the most basic and inexpensive essentials a gym can provide. When they're missing, many people skip washing their hands altogether, which isn't sanitary. Second, the sauna is in poor condition. One of the large wooden planks on the bench is broken and has clearly been that way for a while. It doesn't look like there's any regular maintenance or inspection schedule in place. It's both unsafe and disappointing to see this level of neglect in a facility that charges monthly membership fees. Lastly, I don't have an issue with homeless individuals using the gym, everyone deserves access to showers and a safe space. However, if that's the case, the cleaning crew needs to do a more thorough job to make sure all areas, especially the locker rooms and sauna, are consistently cleaned and sanitized. This location used to set the standard for cleanliness and upkeep, but lately, it feels like management has stopped paying attention. I really hope they take these concerns seriously and bring it back to the level it once was. read more

---You wanna be stared at by creepy old men the entire time you workout? This is the place for you! Wanna be so uncomfortable you leave? This is the place for you. - the womens bathroom is digusting. I dread having to pee and using the toilet area. Constantly filthy toilets, toilet paper all over the floor, and a lot of the seats are loose so you go for a ride every time you sit down lol read more

This is one of the most uncleanliness unsanitary gyms I've ever been to. This is the third Sunday in a row where I am entering the facility when they open at 8 AM to find the men's locker rooms in this condition. Today was the tipping point I canceled my gym membership and signed up at 24 hour fitness. read more

Well, we have a new manager again at My LA Fitness, Her name is Sara. I have been lucky enough to get the chance to talk with Her a view times. She is very nice, always has a smile on Her face. I think in the Month+ She has been about Location She has kept things running smoothly. The machines have been kept in good working condition and the bathrooms have been clean and stocked as needed. Of Course Daphne and Her crew have been working hard to keep the gym clean and fresh. I have noticed more personal training happening in the mornings when I usually get to the gym which is good news for the community to keep in shape. Thank You for keeping our Club running well Ladies. It's nice to look forward to working out. Happy New Year!!! read more

Supposed to open at 8am on the weekends. Often not until 8:10-8:15. 8:08am right now online waiting for employees to show up and open.

Kudos to Marlini for keeping the locker area really clean. While today's yoga instructor, Jane M. was awesome. I like Jane's yoga technique, it felt like hot yoga with more stretching minus the acrobatic acts! Easy to follow and enjoyable without that feeling of stress. read more

I was verbally assaulted in the pool lane by another member screaming and flushing his both middle fingers at me. I came to complain and seek help at the reception. The person, called himself Brad, asked me to come to the pool and when we both did, he told the person who just assaulted me that he was fine and I was wrong for not asking his permission to jump in the shared lane. He also told me in front of my abuser that after all it was all my fault for being treated this way. I am reporting Brat to the corporate office. read more

A clean place to workout but it's been so crowded lately. I get a bad breakout on my back which looks like acne. I don't get this unless something or someone irritates it. I think it was the people in the sauna wearing their sneakers instead of sandals. It could have been the other members not being clean and wiping up. Though sweat in general could be all it is to blame. I still enjoy this place but been taking it easy checking in. It's very clean though, as I see a man vacuuming and cleaning every visit. I could have been worn out by going so much. So I thought I'd take up another hobby for a while. read more

Let's start off by saying that I commute from Irvine to workout at this location. The LA Fitness near my house (Woodbury Center) is impossible to get in a decent workout at any time of day. This location is clean and has a good amount of equipment. Front desk staff have always been polite and wish you a good workout. Weights are (for the most part) always re-racked and dumbbells are as well. The only negative thing I can say about this location is that the pool shows it's age and squat rack is lacking. First world problems. Overall, great location. read more

The Gym is great, if a machine goes down they fix it quickly. The Manager Kelly is very nice and greets You when She behind the Counter. The other Ladies especially Mary is very sweet too. The cleaning crew led by Daffney works hard to keep the entire gym clean. The people using the restrooms need to be better at picking up after themselves. There are plenty of trash cans, instead of throwing paper towels toward the trash can maybe take one step towards the can and "lay it up and in" as Chick Hearn would say. I think most of the people working out are courteous to others and that's awesome. Keep up the good work. One suggestion would be to attach signs above the wet wipe dispensers that ask that the wipes be placed in one of many trash cans around the gym. The cleaning staff works their tails off, they don't need to be picking up wipes all day. read more

On Monday the 18 I had a incident but I stayed calm I was doing my cardio run on the treadmill & some guy Got really mad with me about putting my water bottle Next to the other treadmill (I put it on the holder not his treadmill) & he said you're f****** hogging the other treadmill & he starts calling me a b**** for that & he wanted to threaten me, I wanted to apologize to him but he aggressively steps off from his treadmill & said WHAT DID YOU SAY!! (I just said I apologize I don't want to cause problems) I was scared when he step off aggressively i though he was going to hurt me so I just walked away & stay calm read more

Dr. Jekyll & Mr Hyde review. If I were to write a review off of my most recent experience I would say corporate needs a call, because their new male manager is extremely aggressive, and has EXTREMELY poor customer service skills. There is always a new protocol with this place, and the implementation comes with a dose of rudeness. Consistency isn't something this Lake Forest location believes in, which is such a turn off from interacting with the front desk staff. To be honest, it would be better if there wasn't someone at the front desk-- just a scan and and go would be best. Having gated access would solve most of the issues because the rude, disengaged, aggravated humans that act like working is a burden would be gone. On the other hand, there is a couple wonderful staff members (one being Maria) and these people need to be promoted. A gym isn't a place where you should ever walk away with a bad taste in your mouth; you literally go for endorphins. Maria always has a smile and appears to enjoy interacting and performing her job in a professional manner. Half of the battle with enrollment is the answer to the question 'do I feel welcomed?' A training for entire staff should be implemented, because it is far and few between that people take this front desk job seriously and it is a bad reflection on the LA Fitness brand. As for other things to note: pool could be a touch cleaner, equipment is clean, parking is adequate, and the fees are reasonable. read more

Nice facility with a wide selection of equipment and weights along with other amenities. I have been a member for a long time and writing this review to acknowlege Kelly a recent addition to the front desk staff. She is very welcoming, efficient and has a good understanding of the computer system, which allowed her to quickly resolve a tricky renewal issue. A pleasure to interact with and good addition to the staff read more

I do love how convenient this gym location is for me. I go there probably twice a week if that. I like taking the group classes and have only a few favorite instructors. I wish they had kickboxing classes as they have none. Zumba with Eric is super fun as he adds some hip hop and the music makes it more fun. The gym is a bit older and the spa sometimes has too much chlorine hence the one missing star. read more

I want to recognize my personal trainer Austin and share the awesome job he has done. I'm learning to balance more and feel more confident in my stamina and work outs.

Called this morning to ask about membership and was connected to a guy named Morgan. He spoke like he had a mouthful of marbles with an attitude. After telling me what I didn't call for I finally got to my question which he answered very nonchalant as though he didn't care. I guess that's where we're at today; hiring people who really don't give a crap in roles they should really give a crap... read more

Great facility, large range of machines and equipment, friendly staff! Would recommend to anyone in the area.

This morning I walked into La fitness thinking I had the gym almost to myself because the manager Logan was training as well as another member/trainer in the back. Unfortunately I was not greeted by the manager Logan, when I said good morning he replied with "we're closed" to my response " really? I can't train ?" To his response "yea we are closed until 8am the new year schedule"... I went to check the sign he pointed at because the online schedule had not been changed and not only did it say they were open, the doors were open... at the front desk they had a paper printed out saying 8am new years schedule so I kindly said ok and asked to take a picture of him and asked for his managers name and he said "I am the manager I just said that" to my response "no not who's the manager, your manager like who is your boss?" To his response "I am the boss" so I just chuckled and walked out the door... I think the most bothersome thing about all this is ...when I walked in and was recording this entire encounter which I have saved, he was sitting on a machine texting.... Happy new year ! read more

LA Fitness - Manager of LA fitness, Logan. - Gyms Near Me - Lake Forest, California

When I entered the facility for my workout today, I had mentioned to one of the personal trainers (Jake) that he should make sure that other person trainers are setting a good example and retaking weights. There have been several times the trainers don't rerack their weights despite signs everywhere asking us to do so. Jake decided to have the other personal trainer, name unknown, shorter guy with plug earrings and always wears a beanie, about it and had him confront me during my workout. I do not appreciate the fact that I was confronted while squeezing In my workout for the day. When I told the "manager" about what was happening he didn't really say anything and shrugged me off. I continued my workout and could see that the 2 trainers and the managers were laughing about the situation. This is unacceptable. I, then, confronted Jake to ask him why he created a hostile situation from something that wasn't that big of deal. He said well you were yelling. (I had my head phones in, I was not yelling). He then went on to state that he played college football and he is running a cleaning training through the gym. I disagreed given the hostility of the situation. He then made a comment after I disagreed and insulted me regarding my weight. The personal trainer was clearly not building muscle naturally. You could tell by looking at his puffy cheeks. This is outrageous to try to put someone down who is doing things the honest way. I have never had anything like this happen before and just wanted a manager to resolve the situation and at least talk to these guys. The environment was so hostile I had to leave and I told the person at the front desk, nicely, that I couldn't believe what just happened. I told him not to worry about telling anyone since I would never return to this gym. I went out to leave the gym and that's when the 2 personal trainers ran out after me telling me they were going to revoke my membership and making me very uncomfortable. read more
