Our family is looking to become healthier this year, and we decided to change our lifestyle habits. One of these changes was joining a gym. We chose LA Fitness because there are many locations, which gives us more options and flexibility. My daughter and I visited the closest location in Coral Gables, which is located in a mall next to Winn Dixie. The club offers free garage parking with no validation required, which is very convenient. However, it is a little tricky to find the gym from the garage if you are a first-time visitor. The main gym entrance is on the west side of the ground floor facing Winn Dixie. To get to the gym from the garage, you must take the elevators on the west side to the second floor. We eventually found it after some trial and error. The gym is okay, but not great. There are many machines, but several seem to need service. The cardio machines, offices, bathrooms, and smoothie bar are located on the second floor. There are stairs to the third floor, where the weight machines and rooms for group exercise classes are located. The gym serves its purpose, but it is in need of renovation. The staff are nice, and they do try to keep the place clean. read more

This location is extremely disappointing. There are so many broken machines, and several areas have unpleasant odors. The locker rooms, showers, and restrooms are very old, dirty, and clearly lacking proper maintenance. For a gym located in Coral Gables, I expected a much higher standard of cleanliness and upkeep. It's frustrating to pay a membership fee and receive this level of service. I hope management and the company take these concerns seriously and invest in maintaining this facility. The overall condition of the gym is unacceptable and does not reflect the quality customers should expect. read more

Terrible location! I canceled my LA fitness membership because of this location! I used to workout at the LA fitness on 127th location close to my work and it was always clean and nice. Now I work from home and the coral gables location is the only LA fitness near my home. This gym is truly horrendous. The parking is terrible, the staff is unfriendly, the weights are always untracked and missing/lost, the bathrooms are old and disgusting, and the machines are rusted and broken. I really don't know how this can be an LA fitness location. Every other location gets a remodel and has amenities like classes and courts and pools. This place is a disgrace. Especially in a nice area like coral gables where there are not many gyms, they could have a lot more customers if they fixed this place up and the staff put a little pride into their gym. Not going back here. Definitely don't recommend! read more

All of the other reviews of this place check out. I had a guest pass and went to go use it. The front desk lady told me to fill out a sheet and sit and wait for someone to help me. I sat for twenty minutes and not a single person came to tell me what to do while the front desk people chatted away. The facility was pretty rugged and I am shocked that it is able to carry the LA Fitness Brand. The door should tell you all you need to know about this place. It is clear the management here is trash. read more

In dire need of renovations, new equipment, and better cleaning protocols. This place is filthy, the layout of the equipment makes no sense, and all the equipment is rusty. Completely disgusting!! read more

Place is run down with rusty broken machines and free weights scattered everywhere. Looking for a specific dumbbell turns into a scavenger search. Location is awesome gym is gross. read more

LA Fitness Coral Way. Even though the gym is dated, all the machines work and it's under constant updates. AM people are the best. Simon Leal read more

If I can give them a zero I will do .I enrolled my son in a three-month personal training program and, before the end of the third month, I personally went to the club and spoke with the manager Fernando to ensure the program would be canceled at the end of the three months so that no further charges would occur. The manager confirmed to me that the program was canceled. I later received confirmation from the personal trainer, including a screenshot from the system, showing that my son had no remaining sessions, which confirmed that the personal training program had ended. Despite this, three months later, I discovered that LA Fitness continued charging me $284 even though: My son received no additional personal training sessions The cancellation was verbally confirmed by the manager The system showed no remaining sessions When I contacted the Coral Way location, and went there ,the managers and staff admitted that a mistake was made, but each person blamed another manager or the trainer. I was repeatedly told that I would receive a refund and a call back; however, no refund was issued and no one followed up. Additionally, one of the managers, his name is Evan, specifically in person told me that he recommended I dispute the charges with my bank instead of resolving the issue internally. I followed this advice and filed a dispute; however, the dispute was denied because LA Fitness provided the contract, even though the services were no longer being provided and the cancellation had already been requested in person. When I later contacted the corporate office in California, I was informed that the membership was still active and that cancellation had to be done in person -- despite the fact that I did cancel in person, and the manager misrepresented that the cancellation was completed. This situation has caused me financial loss, stress, and a complete loss of trust. I feel that I was charged without authorization for services that were never provided, and that the mishandling of this situation at the club level was unprofessional and misleading. read more

How is this place still in business? I go once in a blue moon whenever I'm in the area and it hasn't Improved or fix anything everything is old dirty rusty and definitely not safe to work out on. Worst LA fitness in Miami by far read more

Always missing types of handles, machines always broken, locker smells like a$$, always packed, closes early

The worst LA Fitness in ALL of Miami. Dirty and filth everywhere. Old raggedy machines half of which do not work or are missing parts. AC breaks constantly. The bathrooms look like a movie set from the movie SAW, and they ALWAYS smell like straight up sewages and sweat. No amenities like sauna or pool. The staff is nice but everything else is horrendous. A shame for their flagship Coral Gables location. read more

The owners should be embarrassed of this location. Disgusting, dirty, nothing is where it's supposed to be. Equipment falling apart and still being used. Worst location I've ever been to and I travel to multiple across the USA every week read more

I want to formally report the very poor condition of this gym. I have submitted multiple complaints about damaged machines on several occasions, yet no real action has been taken. That is why I am now making this public. The leg machines practically do not work: some are missing the foot platform, others are missing belts, several are jammed, some have broken parts, and others do not properly engage the gears. Every time one machine fails, another one has a different issue. The lack of maintenance is obvious and unacceptable. It is abusive to charge a membership fee while providing deteriorated and unusable equipment. Members pay for a complete and safe workout experience, not to improvise exercises because the machines are broken. I hope management finally takes responsibility and performs proper maintenance, since all previous internal reports have been ignored. read more

Since December 18, 2025, the second floor has been without air conditioning, which is unacceptable. The multi-purpose activity room, used for Zumba, workout, yoga, and other activities, feels like a sauna and is completely unhealthy. We have raised our concerns multiple times, but it seems that our feedback is being ignored by the manager. After nearly a month, the only solution provided has been the installation of a single fan, which does not even rotate, in an area designed to accommodate 60 people. The cleanliness of the place leaves a lot to be desired. While the reception staff are friendly, they aren't able to help much and simply say that " you need to talk to the manager" . Unfortunately, the manager doesn't seem to care about the concerns of the guests. read more

Honestly, I like that they are improving the machine equipment, always clean and not to mention the reception, always friendly and helpful. read more

I have been a member of Bally and now LA Fitness for years. I have some of the reviews, in feel some are a bit unfair to this club. The staff is super friendly, when they check you in. The gentlemen that cleans I see him cleaning all of the weight room, I have seen ladies disinfect the cardio machines. The pin for the weight machine are missing because people steal them. How is that the gyms fault we have thieves. The cardio classes are the best (aside from West Flager location). I have never had an issue with parking ever. The elevators were closed for a while as they were being updated or are new so during this time we had to use another entrance, it was labeled clearly, why are people complaining? Yes sometimes roof leaks, the a/c breaks but this happens in luxury high rises everywhere, you can predict when a/c breakdown occur even if you do preventive maintenance, it what it is. Could the equipment be newer/updated perhaps but they are in working condition, with an occasional one being worked on. This happens everywhere, even in Sunset whose equipment are rather newer. The weights and matts in the work out room could be newer/replaced but people remove the matts from the work out room. This is full gym in a location accessible to many people, when you go to a gym used by the public you have to adjust, be patient,as you will wait for machines it is what it is. Enjoy your work out, even in the gym at Equinox, the Biltmore are not perfect. Thank you read more

Where to start? The restrooms are nasty, and the lockers are all rusted. There's leaks and what seems like mold on the ceiling. Drop tiles close to the a/c are all black. There's rust on just about every machine. Most cardio machines have broken parts and dirty. Even if you're there early the free weights are not racked. But the best part is having to bring in your one pin if you want to use the weights. Without exaggerating, there were at least 5 people at the front desk complaining about it this past weekend. Shame because this has the potential to be so much better. read more

Most of the machines are broken or not functioning properly, which makes it difficult to complete a full workout. Several pieces of equipment are either out of order or poorly maintained, and it doesn't seem like repairs are made in a timely manner. read more

Filthy gym. Management could care less about its customers. Most of the machines don't have pins. A lot of the machines aren't working. I spoke to an employee named Fernando to voice my frustration. He was very dismissive and shifted the blame to everyone besides the staff. He also said if it was him working out he'd just use the free weights and figure it out. Are you serious? We are paying customers. I would like to use the machines that I pay to use. I have been to lots of LA fitnesses and other gyms. This is by far the worst. The disrespect I've experienced by 2 different managers over the last month is unacceptable. read more

Almost all machines are broken or missing pins very outdated , think you can say this is one of the worst La fitnesses.

At this gym, the machines are in poor condition: they lack safety pins and none of them work properly. It's disappointing, because those details make the workout experience frustrating. read more

This review is for the Coral Gables LA Fitness. The facility is in poor shape, with old, rusty, and broken machines. There's a constant lack of weights and the pins needed to operate the machines are always missing. Management has been unhelpful, and calls to the corporate office have resulted in no action, despite promises to fix the issues. We pay a standard membership fee for a sub-standard gym. It seems the lack of local competition has led to a lack of interest in maintaining the facility. I hope this review, along with the photos I've uploaded, encourages a much-needed change. read more

It's horrible, especially considering how expensive it is. They don't care at all about the people who go there. There's a lack of weights and the equipment is broken. The air conditioning is broken most of the time, it leaks when it rains, and the elevator is always breaking down too. They should close it down. read more

Staff are very nice here and doing the best they can considering that the owner really gave them a turd. Most machines are broken or rusty and the locker room though clean reminds me of middle school in 1978. If life gave you a bad break and you are looking for a club that meets you new level of lack of good fortune this is the one for you! read more

Deben ser vmas limpios , esta demasiado descuidado , por la ubicación que tiene puedes creer que es el mejor , pero he visitado varios LA Fitness y este sin lugar es el peor de todos read more

No tiene suficientes equipos por lo que hay que hacer fila para usarlos, no recomendaciones este local

So I decided to give this place a try. Very disappointed at the neglect of the building and parking garage and the gym itself. Parking garage is falling apart. Only one working elevator. The gum itself is really big. 2 floors and spacious. The locker room I would not go to again. They need some major remodeling. Everything is very old. And the floors are dirty. Weights are everywhere on the floor. On a positive note, there are a lot of new machines now. The cardio area is very big. And they definitely have a nice view. A lot of machines to leave u satisfied. Now would I make this my home. Probably not. But I wouldn't mind going every now and then. read more

Horrible. None of the machines have the stick to be able to pick the weight. They haven't been replaced for a while. People have to bring their own screwdrivers to be able to use the equipment. That's extremely disrespectful and embarrassing. read more

Half the machines you can't use, and it's been like that for weeks you think they would read these reviews and try to update the facility honestly corporate must not care about this because who ever manages this location should be demoted or they should fire him. read more

This place sucks. Waking up early to workout and there is no way to use the equipment. No pins, no way to use it. The kid at the front door says that they are doing their best so If this is your best, you better close this place. No respect for people paying every month. read more

air conditioning is broken half of the time, the machines are rusty, and it takes them too long to fix the machine that are out of service

This is the most ghetto LA fitness ever! I moved down to coral gables to have a switch of atmospheres and was excited to try the LA here in the gables and stop going to the one in 8th Street and BOY this place is awful , unorganized, old, awful atmosphere 24/7 didn't even last an entire hour. 8th street all the way! read more

This place sucks, everyone that works out here sucks and management here sucks. The dumbbell racks are constantly empty because weights are left all around the gym and when they do make it on the rack they are all mismatched and I spend more time looking for the weights than working out. I never see anyone who works here putting weights where they belong to at least instill some responsibility into the patrons that work out here. Their cheap little signs on the walls don't encourage people to put their weights back. Maybe suspending memberships for constant offenders but once again that would require at least one staff member circling the gym floor. read more

Stay away from this La fitness, and the recruiters. They will say just about anything to have you enroll into one of the most unhygienic gyms ever, stating "All La fitness are the same across the board". Good luck using the machines that are literally falling apart, dumbbells are all over the floor, and not even placed back correctly by members or employees. read more

LA Fitness - "All La fitness are the same across the board" - Gyms Near Me - Miami, Florida

Worst LA Fitness I've ever visited. Air conditioning has been broken or off for weeks. It's a maze to find the main entrance because they are always switching it up. It seems something is always wrong. I've had to come through the back doors and now the elevators are broken. New management or ownership is definitely needed. We pay good money to get basic accommodations and they are overlooked. read more

THIS GYM IS A DISASTER, WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. They are rude to the clients. Last Saturday (Feb/20) I asked the people at the reception to keep two belongings (as I had a problem with my car), and the nasty black lady at the reception was rude and unfriendly. I understand a refusal, only do it in a way that's polite and civilized, not using an obnoxious tone. But this behavior is pervasive in this gym, they're all like that. I tried to call these jerks today to talk about the problem, and they hung up the phone on me 5 TIMES!!! The guy said he was the manager, but the second time I called another person said the managers were not in. Very shady place, it's not worth it. Now, if you want to still use this gym, try to interact with these people as little as possible, if you do you're going to be very disappointed. To save money, they leave the AC only at the bare minimum so people don't melt from the heat, but they forget the weight floor is always crammed with people (even during covid), so that temperature is hardly comfortable as we get very hot from exercising. The water cooler on the 2nd floor (weight floor) had warm water, they don't have the decency to fix it. After a while they closed it claiming it was due to Covid-19. They removed the water cooler at the excuse that it's for people to not contract Covid, however they didn't remove the vending machines lol. It's totally absurd removing the water cooler! But as you know more these people, you find they have ZERO respect for their clients!! The machine pins are always disappearing, someone has been stealing them. I guess it's probably someone who's pissed off with the awful treatment of the clients and the awful customer service. HORRIBLE PLACE, STAY AWAY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENTS! read more

LA Fitness - Many times trying to reason with someone on the phone, but only avoidant crooks hanging up on me. - Gyms Near Me - Miami, Florida

great gym just wish they had better parking, and the building foundation seems unsafe

Where do I begin 1. If you're hoping to lose weight from exercise this isn't the gym for you but if you're trying to lose weight from bulimia then it's perfect because the locker room smell will make you gag every time 2. Half the cardio and weight machines are straight up broken (have been coming for months, almost no fixes), the dumbbells may as well be underground, and the plates are wherever. Cables have these threaded collars which if the previous user tightened too much, you Bassicaly can't change the attachment 3. Although the staff is friendly, If you want to sign up or cancel, you have to come on the day the rep is there (cannot be done online, yet they have an app?) 4. During peak hours, don't even bother, as half of Coral gables goes. Frankly, every time the charge for this gym membership hits my bank statement, I feel I have lost some brain cells. Management, please fix this, it's kind of insane. read more

Elevator is broken for months, you have to come through a back door, Air conditioner is often broken, bathrooms are dirty, gym floor is nasty, machines are dirty. there are big cockroaches in the 1st and 2nd floor, there is toxic black mold in the AC vents amd walls, machines are out of order and broken, they don't have pins, they don't have enough weights. Everything is disorganized. You WONT find weights. They shut the lights in the bathroom 10 minutes before closing. Very unsafe. I am reporting this location to the Department of Health and The Florida Department of Business Professional Regulation , this gym should be shut down!! El estacionamiento es horrible, inseguro y difícil de encontrar espacios. El ascensor está roto, hay que entrar por atras El aire acondicionado suele estar roto, los baños están sucios, el suelo del gimnasio está sucio y las máquinas están sucias. hay cucarachas grandes en el 1er y 2do piso, hay moho negro tóxico en las rejillas de ventilación y del aire acondicionado y paredes, las máquinas están fuera de servicio y rotas, no tienen pasadores, no tienen suficientes pesas.

This gym is really dirty and dingy. Equipment is not maintained very well and weights are everywhere. Definitely does not live to the LA Fitness name. It's close by to my hotel which is why I would still go to it. read more
