November 2025 I started lifting weights at the age of 68 1/2. I signed up for the health of a personal trainer and it has been the best decision ever. I love, lifting weights, I feel stronger and more assured of myself. At my age, many people are beginning to lose balance and strength. I know longer feel that way. I love LA Fitness in Ballard. read more

Signed up for a 3 day trial/guest pass. Employee by the name of Mason shows me a tour and asks me for my credit card information. Told me I could cancel during the trial. I call today to cancel the trial and another employee was confused. Even named Mason (sounds like he does this often). She puts me on hold and says they will need to talk to corporate to issue a refund, as I can't attend in person to cancel since I am a visitor leaving town tomorrow morning (also why do I need to attend in person to cancel? Anyways, she puts me on hold again and the call hangs up. I will call back again to give them a chance to issue a refund before calling my credit card to dispute, as well as a call to corporate - as this location and/or employees seem be doing suspicious sign up activities when people are signing up for 3-day guest pass/trials. read more

I am at my last straw. Another weekend morning with a late opening no warning. Customers lining up to get in at 8 and all realizing one by one that this gym is terribly bad at customer service. I have such little time to get a workout in and another weekend morning is ruined for me. Rumor is gym will open at 8:45.... When I should already be done with my workout. I know see that late weekend morning openings is a pattern. Avoid this gym at all costs. Absolutely infuriating. read more

Great experience at À La Fitness in Ballard thanks to Wendy and Ullises. They're both welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive. Wendy brings great energy, and Ullises is always helpful and attentive. They make the gym feel comfortable and motivating, highly recommend! read more

Got a guest pass from BF and decided to try it out. Lots of treadmills and ellipticals. Machines are decent with. Gym was busy but able to use the machines fairly quickly. Clean and big. Rating it a 3.5 read more

I just returned to the Ballard Signature location after they reopened since a renovation. The bathroom does seem lighter, brighter and some of the tile redone. But it looks like they focused on areas that have extra fees - like the pilates. First and only shower stall I went into STILL disgusting. But now the water only gets lukewarm!! PLEASE why can't they clean the bathrooms decently?! read more

I love this gym, came up here to try a different experience and enjoyed it thoroughly! It was super clean and Wendy and Elena both helped me out with a couple questions. They were both really friendly and patient with whatever I needed. The bathrooms were especially clean and the gym was spacious. read more

Clean Facility, staff was super welcoming, Elena and Wendy were well informed and actually helped make me feel comfortable being in the gym!

Inconsistent openings times which is frustrating when members have limited time and our day planned out. Always runs out of hand sanitizer wipes. Front desk knows nothing about the equipment - a simple question about the location of a machine could not be answered. Many members don't seem to know common gym etiquette - about giving up a machine after "x" reps or letting other members work in with them. This is my 8th gym membership and I've never experienced such rude behavior. The location is convenient and it does have a large amount of equipment but lack of some of the basics I cited are disappointing and frustrating. The housekeeping crew work hard to keep up with the heavy usage. read more

Jade was amazing, she gave me a quick tour of the facility before handing me off to Jazmyn to finalize my membership. Both informed and welcoming. Great gym. Great staff. I highly recommend. read more

I like the renovation done in this Signature Club . I wis they retained one court for playing squash or indoor pickleball... the gym is always clean and I'm super happy about that. Men's locker room and restrooms smells great. Kept up the good work cleaning crew! read more

Miguel and Jazmine were so awesome today and helped me out with checking in a guest. And the new gym remodel is insanely good!

I have been going to this gym since 2010. I'm an ultra distance swimmer. I recommend this place only if it is your last option for swimming. When it gets busy they continue to split the lanes instead of circle swim and divide the lanes by speed. Sometimes the pool is clean sometimes it doesn't feel like it has been taken care of. I would recommend a drop in lap swim at Queen Anne, Ballard or medgar evers if that is an available option. A long time ago a woman attacked me in the locker room and they didn't do anything about it. The woman had a heap of clothes in the sauna and talking to air. So i only recommend this place out of desperation. read more

We joined this gym because it declared itself a Racquetball gym. Now, years later we're down to one court that is about to go away in the name of a little used "glute room" like the unitasker pilates room. This is frustrating and disappointing. This also means that we either have to drive to BFE to gym, or find a new gym. I also understand that la fitness clearly doesn't care, because if they did, they wouldn't keep removing the courts. One star. read more

I've been going here since this summer and also signed up for a Pilates membership as well. For "signature club", it's really nothing special and a pricing scam. Machines are always broken, and the place is kinda dirty imo. I've only been going here 1) for the affordable Pilates classes and 2)based on proximity and convenience on location & parking. TODAY (9/8), I received a notice that the Ballard location will be temporarily closed from 9/16-10/3 due to construction. This communication was sent out with only a week's notice and no prior heads-up, which is extremely disappointing and disruptive. When I visited the club in person to get more information, the front desk staff were very friendly but super unhelpful. They simply directed me to other Seattle locations (Roosevelt and Aurora Ave N), which are not Signature Clubs, and are significantly less convenient due to traffic and distance. And my Pilates membership is only valid at my home location, making it unusable during the closure. If I had wanted to attend other locations, I would have signed up there in the first place. To make matters worse, I was told that members whose billing date had not yet passed could receive a refund for the month. But my billing date was yesterday, just one day prior to receiving the closure notification, and I was told I am not eligible for any refund or alternative accommodation and that i should reach out to Corporate directly with complaints. Honestly, if you're thinking about signing up, just go ahead and take your money elsewhere. There's way better and cleaner gyms for way less $. read more

Brayden and Luis were amazing helping me at the desk. Genuinely the best costumer service ever.

My experience at the La fitness for the first time was great i was helped by elena and mitchell.

Now that I've tried other guns in the area, I'd like the bump up my star rating. I'm finding North Seattle gym patrons to be unhygienic. I still wish LA Fitness would keep it cleaner, but it's not as terrible in comparison. And I like that there are separate saunas for women. read more

Wendy is the best she helped me out and was very nice will definitely be coming back to this location!

Pay your employees, employ more people, optimize for community customer satisfaction. Don't make apps mandatory. Horrible from the start. LA fitness has reduced employees, pays them poorly, spends too much on ADs and not enough on sanitizing. Pay your staff! Mandatory downloading of an app to check in? my data on top of membership fees. I wanted a pool to train for IM, but I'll take my chances in nature. - Sincerely disappointed Follow me on Strava if you want any free fitness advice, I can show you many parks that offer similar equipment or will get you better results. read more

Brayden and the staff was super helpful 10/10 would definitely recommend and will be coming back !

Enjoying the newly renovated Ballard location! Wendy was very kind and helpful answering all of my questions.

Jazmine at the front desk was super helpful setting up a membership! The facilities were perfect for what I was looking for.

I just wanted to share how helpful and great Wendy at LA Fitness Ballard is. She is always welcoming, professional, and truly goes out of her way to make members feel supported. Her positive attitude and willingness to help never go unnoticed, and she makes the gym a better experience every time I'm there. read more

I went in to ask about joining and what they offer. I was left waiting for over 5 minutes while I watched them talking amongst themselves. So I walked out and I plan on going over to PLANET FITNESS three blocks away on Market Street. SUCH BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I want it to matter if I join. They DO NOT care!! So sad!!! read more

This gym is way too damn busy. I've been a member for the last several months, I can go to any LA Fitness in the country, I've been to just about everyone in the Seattle area and the Ballard location is by far consistently the busiest. If you work on Monday through Friday 8:00 to 5:00ish type job, like myself, it's going to be real hard to find times to go to the gym when it's not jam-packed unless you like to work out at odd hours like very early or very late. And even then you're kind of limited because it's not 24 hours. Most of the equipment usually works. The gym has an odd layout. The cardio equipment faces some of the weight lifting machines. Other gyms I've been to all the equipment faces the same direction. Here, you could be on a chest press machine facing somebody on a treadmill or an exercise bike just a few feet away. Kind of awkward. read more

The new renovation is good but where is all the leg machines? Only one per muscle group and plus the people who goes there why so nasty? We only have that one machine and you decided use that dirty towels to let people know you are using it and use another machine at the same time? Selfish MFs and also a lot of space aren't being used and what is this gym now? Is not the same gym anymore overall disappointing and sad to see this gym get better but the people aren't read more

Staff not friendly or helpful. Feels like a membership money grab with no real concern for fitness. Creepy atmosphere in general.

Was able to pop in for a quick workout while traveling and it was super easy to manage!! Cool looking location and definitely recommend!!

Building temperature is too high and management won't regulate it so you can work out without suffering. Impossible to use this facility until they lower temp to 68F or less. read more

Absolutely the worst! They can't even open on time and do not answer their phone. They are supposed to open at 8 am and it's after 830 and still not open or answering the phone. Incredibly rude. And frustrating. Whoever is responsible for opening this club needs to be fired. I will be calling the manager. read more

Good experience. Clean atmosphere and a variety of machines. Friendly staff -Tristan & Jasmine.

If you're thinking of joining this gym, please ask the salesperson where members can fill up a water bottle and ask them to demonstrate the action. This gym's water bottle refiller has been broken for month's (it comes out as a trickle). I don't understand why this simple product found in every gym in America cannot be fixed appropriately. Thank you, Current members read more

Warning to Members adn Future Members: Unaddressed Health and Safety Concerns I've reported several issues at LA Fitness multiple times, but they remain unresolved. On June 22, staff laughed at me when I complained. Here are the main problems: Unsanitary Equipment: A member continues to use apull buoy covered in black mold is still in use despite my complaints. The same member often leaves razors at the end of her swim lane, which is extremely unsafe. Inappropriate Behavior: Men frequently use the hot tub in underwear, sometimes exposing themselves due their underwear being white. This happened four times last week alone. Privacy Violations: A parent fromt he British Swim School Program brought her young son into the women's locker room to show and change, making me uncomfortable. Despite reporting this, no action was taken. Noise Disturbances: The constant slamming of weights disrupts the women's locker room, especially in the sauna. I often wonder how much structural damage is being done, because it mimics a minor earthquake. Swimming School: Children under 17 are using the swimming area despite posted signs. Members weren't informed of this change and they are supposed to use the pop changing areas not the locker rooms. I use this facility because of its location to my home and the floor-to-ceiling windows in the pool area, but I am now looking for a new gym. Buyer beware! Staff behavior tends to be dismissive and at times direspectful. . I've contacted their corporate offices, filed a BBB complaint, and contacting the health department. read more
