LA Fitness

Filthy!!! This place is disgusting, dirty bathroom, locker rooms and workout spaces. The same debris has been on the floor for weeks and sweat marks on the mirrors for weeks, not to mention the wipes to disinfect the equipment are useless. Workout here if your you embrace germs and other peoples sweat! Clearly they are not concerned about covid any more or any other virus or bacteria.

I was a member here for 2+ years and I am now changing gyms. Here’s my detailed pro/con list and why I’m switching: Pros: 1. their equipment has a decent amount of variety (just not enough of it) 2. offers things no other gym in the area does (indoor pool, sauna, basketball court, racquetball), 3. plenty of group classes as far as I could tell (never used them) 4. has TONS of dumbbells (2.5lbs increments all the up to 55lbs) 5. when equipment breaks they fix it quickly 6. nutrition shop (didn’t really use that either because it’s pricey) Cons: 1. equipment is old. Very old. As you can see in the pictures, mostly everything is worn down and rusty. The treadmills are so old they have a phone charger that hasn’t existed in over a decade. In the two+ years I was a member, there wasn’t a single piece of new equipment that was brought in. 2. The gym is ALWAYS busy. Too busy for the amount of equipment they have, they need more. There have been multiple instances where I have waited 50 minutes for a single machine. I am tired of having to fight for equipment, especially for cable attachments like ropes and handles. 3. Gym hours are very short on the weekends (8am-7pm). Sometimes I need to workout in the evening and if you don’t get there before 5pm you don’t have time to get in a full workout. Closing time is just too early. 4. Ventilation in the men’s bathroom is awful. I never use the sauna but the whole bathroom feels like one. 5. A significant amount of members are rude for no reason. They act like they own equipment they are using when other members pay the same amount of money for a membership as they do. Don’t go to a public gym if you don’t want to share. There no reason to be rude when someone politley asks how many sets you have left. (The management can’t do anything about this, it’s just something that I haven’t experienced at any other gym I’ve been a member at) Why I’m switching: For the amount of money it cost to go here, it’s not worth it considering I don’t use the pool and sauna and rarely the basketball court. I can get a membership to a smaller gym that isn’t as busy, with 24/7 hours and has newer equipment and is kept cleaner AND is $10 cheaper every month. To me, that’s a no brainer. Should have done it sooner.

This club is in need of a makeover as well as deep cleaning. There is powdered rust dust on most of the weight trees that gets all over your hands and clothes if you aren't careful. The carpet is old and worn out. There is a stretching mat upstairs that wreaks of body odor. I told the manager they needed to replace the mat and he said they were lucky to get basic repairs done by LA Fitness let alone replace a simple 6' X 10' mat. I was in this gym 7 years ago, and still haven't seen one new piece of equipment. They don't even have a standing calf raise machine. Based on the managers reaction to replacing a simple mat I wouldn't even bother asking for anything else. I only go there for convenience right now, but it won't be for long.

Reinvest into the gym. Please. We had a member personally donate a set of bumpers to improve the gym. *Update* another update* we’re now down 3 barbells GET MORE EQUIPMENT A barbell broke recently, most likely won’t see a replacement Had another member donate another set of bumpers because LA can’t update equipment Recall upper management, Frank, saying that no one uses bumpers. The regulars are using their own money to better the gym. Nothing new here Thought that all LA fitness were like ours then I saw what a real one looks like. * 2nd pic not at port orange location, used for comparison 3rd pic a piece of the pillar here fell off and hit someone using the leg press, place is falling apart

The equipment is really old it always smells dirty. The bathrooms are always dirty their great at taking your money, but not so good at updating any of their equipment or keeping the place clean. Every time I pick up the handheld bar bell they stink really bad odor, they’ve never been cleaned. The place is always overcrowded and not enough equipment, and these young generation just sits on the machines and plays with their cell phone for long periods of time in between sets, and are not considerate of others that want to get their workout in and get out. Also, they put a stretch pad in the middle of the gym, where everybody is watching you stretch it used to be in a corner where you could feel private. In the summer they don’t hardly put on AC so it’s extremely hot. There are some pros they have some classes in a pool and a sauna. I really wish they had some body pump classes but I have no complaints the classes they have are there if you want to use them but their equipment is just awful for the money planet fitness for $10 has better equipment than they do And planet fitness has tanning red light therapy and massage chairs and beds and you can use multiple gyms for just $20. If there was a planet fitness closer to my house I would quit LA indefinitely join planet fitness.
