Updating my review to remove 2 stars. This gym is a big mess! I came for the Wednesday 9:15am cycling class and at 9:30am there was still no instructor. Another member went to the front desk who informed her that the online schedule was wrong, so she left. 5 minutes later the instructor shows up but since everyone else was gone there was no class. They need to be more professional! read more

Visited LA Fitness on a Sunday morning to join a 9:45am class. The newly opened gym is huge and clean. It wasn't busy when I went in the morning so you can really appreciate and see the space. One thing to note about the locker room is you need to bring your own lock. The space is beautiful and clean. I wasn't able to use the toilet on my visit but I will check next time. Overall, the gym has a full array of workout machines from weights to treadmills to elliptical, etc. I definitely recommend this gym especially if your corporate gives you Gympass access. read more

I had a very unfair and unprofessional experience with LA Fitness. When I signed up, the staff told me that I could cancel my membership at any time with just a phone call. The problem started when I had to enlist in the U.S. Army. I called to cancel my membership before leaving, but they refused to do it. Instead, they forced me to "freeze" the account, charging $10 per month, and they never told me that they would still charge the annual fee. During my time in Basic Training, I called several times again trying to cancel, but they kept telling me it wasn't possible and that the only option was to keep the account frozen. I also tried to transfer the membership to my parents--something they said I could do when I signed up--but they denied that too. After a year serving away from home, I tried again, and suddenly now they can cancel memberships over the phone because "the rules changed." I asked to close my parents' and husband's memberships as well, and at first they said yes, then changed their mind and said each person had to call the specific location where they originally signed up. Another important warning: if you sign up in October or November, they immediately charge the annual fee--even if you are a brand-new member. This was never explained to me. Overall, the communication is confusing, the policies constantly change, and they are not transparent about their fees. As a military member, it was extremely frustrating not being able to cancel a membership they promised would be easy to close. I cannot recommend this lack of clarity and the way they handle their memberships. read more

The front desk greeting could greatly improve. I've experienced two different males that was not welcoming or very professional about things. One was just very arrogant and rude the other was dismissive. Grant it i know there are rules and guides to follow. Yet when u dealing with paying Customers u should be nice that's the least. Especially when theres competition. Now to LA fitness the company. Cooperate may have to consider things. Like for instance when I bring my work out partner they have to pay $20 per visit. When I go to my partner gym which is crunch him nor I pay anything no pressure. So who win here? Like I've been a member with la fitness for quite some yearsssss. Im Disappointed. Its to much about the dollar. Dont u think a member should be able to have the privilege of one chosen guess. That's fair. It helps out when it come to motivation to get or stay healthy. So now me rethinking who I want to be apart of is becoming more clearer. read more

While a new facility, it is already showing significant wear and tear and is routinely filthy. Floors (outside of turf area) are dirty with trash/grime and have multiple wet spots (spilled drinks?) Locker rooms are dirty as well and showers have mold. While there are lots of staff there, they don't seem to be cleaning up at all or helping put back the weights and dumbbells scattered throughout the the facility and never in their rack positions. Had high hopes for this new, large facility, but it is going downhill quickly. read more

Beautiful gym!!! So I came here today for the first time and I was amazed at how big and spacious and clean this gym was. It's brand new, so I expect for it to be very clean and new looking. It also wasn't a lot of people there at the time that I went around 1:00. There was a pool, aerobics room, cycle, green, layout, and a separate section for weights. Also, there was plenty of parking outside. I only came here today, but I can definitely see myself coming back a lot more times in the future. Highly recommend this gym! read more

FALLING APART. Don't understand how this gym is fairly new and has so much broken equipment, same machines for months now. It's already crowded to the point you spend half your workout waiting for machines if you go anytime after 4pm so now it's even worse and it seems there's no effort being put in to preventing this. Then they have the nerve to rope off part of the already crowded space for physical training. Just a mess. read more

Joined this gym two weeks ago and I have no problems, Ysa is my personal trainer, very pleasant, but she means business. Alfred is my daughter's and niece trainer, all the trainers are nice and are very helpful. Come and check it out. Not able to give 5 stars yet, but no.doubt I will get there. My mission is to get back.in shape and to.fit in my size 6 dresses. I give myself a year, no hurry. Nuff love to my trainer Ysa..​ read more

I am experiencing discomfort due to the presence of numerous tripods used for video recording, and I am concerned about potential losses associated with taking pictures. My primary objective is to focus on my workout. I will be canceling my prescription its just not for me read more

Every LA Fitness seems to have an issue turning on the fans. This is one of the cleaner gyms but it also just opened. .

It is not often one gets to work out in a brand new gym, but the recent opening of this LA Fitness location was just that! Unlike other LA Fitness locations in the general area, this one did not take over a space from another gym (like the one near Colonia) nor has it been there for y ears taking wear and tear. Instead, this building is brand new, built as part of the ever expanding developing anchored by the Walmart next door. The gym itself opened on November 13, 2023 so at the time of this review being written it's *very* new. Part of the joy of a brand new gym is that most of the equipment is brand new. This gym is full of equipment from TRX to ellipticals to treadmills to weight machines. It also has them in mass quantities thanks to the sheer size of this space. This place has about *eight* squat racks, something I have never seen in all my years of going to the gym (which is about 15+ years now). During my first workout here, I never waited long for a machine. In fact, I only waited once - for a leg extension and that only took five minutes. The left side of the gym has the pool and hot tub. Next to that (with locker rooms in between) is a huge cardio section. Behind the main desk is a lounge area for members to hang out (I *think* a TV is going to be installed but I'm not 100% sure). Behind *that* is a huge training area complete with TRX equipment, exercise balls, free weights, BOSU balls and more. Towards the back is a Cycling studio and a large Aerobics studio (easily twice the size of most of the ones you'll see at gyms in Manhattan). Then on the right side are a huge array of both free weights and weight machines. All the equipment was new and there were no tears or broken parts. Interestingly, a couple machines which appeared brand new had signs on them indicating they had yet to be serviced, which I interpreted more as they still needed to be properly set up and not repaired. There was one aspect of the gym that I had not expected: *gigantic* ceiling fans. I've never seen these in a gym before but they provided fantastic air circulation. There were also several stations with anti-bacterial wipes which I really appreciated (I like to wipe down my equipment after using it as a courtesy). There was a staff member walking around cleaning equipment constantly so I think it is fair to say that the facility is kept clean. A couple notes to set expectations: A couple of the shower stalls have signs on them indicating they still need work. Also, there is no lifeguard on duty for the pool, so you have to be at least 16 to use it and it is understood you will supervise yourself. For those who are curious, the pool only goes up to a bit under 5 feet. I am absolutely thrilled at having a new location for LA Fitness close to me (well, closER than others in the area anyway). I think once they work out all the kinks it will be even better! read more

More dumbbells, benches, and attachments are terribly needed. Some pin loaded machines are sticky so need a good oiling too (I asked 2x and it was never done) there is a full room for cycling as well as an empty room for classes. One of the rooms desperately needs to be turned into another room with cables/ dumbbells. Place is just way too busy at all times. read more

I really do not understand the good reviews.Maybe these are people who can afford to join cause they have that kind of money.I do not know.Anyway.All I know,is,that I am giving them a poor review because I went down to the Linden,NJ,grand opening,today,with my younger daughter,to participate in the festivities,and they had the nerve to tell me that we can not do anything unless we are a member or are joining,today.I never heard such nonsense.I have been to other events like this,before,including their grand opening location in Clark,and never had this issue.I even called corporate and they did nothing.My daughter and I were looking forward to this,today,only to have it taken away.I really hope this location shuts down.A business that treats the public like that,should not be allowed to continue.I am not popular or famous,so I hope the algorithm will let enough people see my review. read more

I finished my workout and went to the restroom to then realize not 1 stall in the womens restroom had toilet paper. That is the most inconvenient experience I could have had especially is a brand new gym. And on top of that the facilities woman is always in the bathroom on her cellphone instead of maintaining the bathroom. Please hire people that actually care about their job and the facilities. read more
