Best LA Fitness in the area. High turnover in staff and some are better then others. Overall place offers a lot and is pretty clean. Valet in the garage are super fast (and free) as well. Off peak is the best time to go, going at peak times can be frustrating (ie some dude reading a book in between his sets).
Really nice location, layout, view and equipment. I enjoyed the hot tub out doors and the pool after my workout. Kumi gave me an incredible stretch that helped my flexibility and my run.
I love the outdoor pool, jacuzzi, palm trees, and lawn chairs, but my favorite part is that I can do my morning yoga in front of the big window overlooking the Ballona Lagoon Wetlands! During the butterfly migration, millions of butterflies travel past this window. This is one of the cleanest gyms in LA and that includes the pool. The only thing I don't like is the parking.
If you're looking for state-of-the-art equipment in a nice area this is your gym this is your place to get your games and make yourself the best self that you can ever be
LA Fitness Playa Vista is by FAR the best LA Fitness in LA!
I have worked out here for the past 5 years, having first tried several other LA Fitnesses throughout west LA. They simply do not compare to Playa Vista LA Fitness!
With the huge weight room, Olympic-sized pool, hot tub, sauna, spin room and numerous free classes taught by experts this facility is an amazing value!
The staff and trainers are most professional and the amenities are second to none.
See Prince Jones in membership for a great deal! He set me up and I could not be happier! :)
Thank you Prince & LA Fitness as I have exceeded my personal fitness goals and look forward to a GREAT 2020 at Playa Vista LA Fitness! :)
Best,
Jay S.
It's not just about the complete facilities provided by the gym itself but the refreshing ambiance primarily due to its location. A lot of open space with comfortable seating for anyone who justs want to relax & enjoy some alone time.
Clean, good customer service. The only bad thing is the lighting in the basketball courts. The lights r really low. They need to get higher and a little brighter 2 have better visibility.
The company sucks, they have no empathy for their employees or members. I worked for the company a few months and was harrassed by a bi racial couple who was very disrespectful to me and other employees at other locations, they called corporate on me multiple times for no reason then I was completely cussed out at the first desk and the response from corporate (Kevin Suggs) was people get cussed out every day. I went and filed a police report against the couple (Kiana McCoy and Jonathan Mann) and corporate decided that the member paying $29.99 a month is more valuable than the employee. I also watched Harvey from TMZ tell my coworker working the front desk that she was worthless and a waste to society because she followed protocol by asking him to come check in at the front, he completely disrespected her enough to initiate tears and in return corporate (Kevin Suggs) personally apologized to Harvey and gave him his own personal parking space with no front desk check in. The company caters to the privileged!
Clean, well kept club with a great outdoor area with basketball, tennis courts and swimming pool. Like it all. Two hour validated parking. The complex is a bit weird to find the entrance at first but you get used to it.

Salt water outdoor pool is perfect for lap swimming at any hour of the day or night. Heated outdoor jacuzzi and sauna in the locker rooms can relieve any sore muscles. Windows all around with well maintained machines. Well lit and clean workout areas. Large group exercise rooms and separate spinning class room. Up to two hours free parking validation.

Showers are separated by tile walls and has shower curtains for extra privacy.
Equipment upkeep is very fast machines are hardly ever broken
Location is slightly smaller than most.
Was excited when I heard LA fitness was opening in playa vista. Now that it's been open it should be way better than it is. For the membership we are paying and the location, service and facility should be even better than other gyms. Why aren't their towels in the locker rooms for members? Sauna needs to be cleaned and maintained more often. Why isn't there an indoor basketball court like most LA fitness gyms? There's an outdoor court which doesn't make sense because there's tons of parks and outdoor courts in the town. People like and want to play indoors on wooden floors. Need better ventilation in the gym and maybe some eucalyptus for the air. Let's hope things improve here. Staff are nice and not knocking them but gym should be way better especially for it being a new gym and the area it's in.

Tons of homelesses using the bathrooms that are always dirty. Overcrowded on all equipment during normal hours. Subpar gym, at best.
Bathrooms are always dirty, with something broken (sink, toilet, etc).. don't even think of using the sauna as it shares the same immediate space as the toilets and showers. Just imagine the combined smell of poop, fermented body odor and mildew.
No staff is ever seen wiping down equipment. During busier times, you'll never be able to use the machines you want because people camp out on them, just like at 24 hour fitness. Usually hot on the gym floor, great if you're into sweating before starting your workout... not so great if you like air conditioning.
I only go here because it's the only local option.
Love this gym. Swimming pool is warm but to busy. Sometimes have to share a lane with 3 people.
Its always very hot and smells, i do not think they have AC. The weights are everywhere and if you go at 6, theres a low chance of being able to use any of their equipment.
I really like this gym. Lots of parking and they validate as well. They have a pool and basketball courts outside. The inside is very simple and they have high ceilings so it never feels musty at all. It's never packed with people so I enjoy that a lot. I pick this place over the Overland location in culver city.
clean and multipurpose. has EVERYTHING from pool and Jacuzzi to basketball and extensive weights. too many people at times but definitely worth it.
The free weight area is a zoo in the evenings Mon-Thurs and people tend to treat walkways as a perfect place to perform anything from lunges to cheat curls but, for $30/month you get what you pay for.
Great equipment, but it can be pricey.
Edit: Service has gone down significantly since I joined in late 2016, bathrooms are often out of service, and the entire shower area is cleaned less often, resulting in a constant bad odor. Bearable, but would not recommend at standard rates.
Great gym. Good instructors (trainers) CLEAN. fair price
Had such high hopes when this place opened but it's been a quick decent into the drain of Globo gym low standards. Nats or baby moths flying around in the shower stalls. Completely horrible parking. The parking ticket validation machine is rediculous. Get a machine that's self feeding for god sakes. All I wanted was a gym with clean showers, some solid rowing machines, and a few real pull-up bars. That's not asking for too much. They only have 1 real pull up bar in the whole space and because it's part of a rack apparatus it's constantly in use. They have three garbage rowing machines that are poorly maintained and are in a constant state of needing repair. Concept 2 rowers are the standard period. They are reasonably priced and easy to maintain. Properly anchored wall or ceiling mounted pull-up bar systems are inexpensive and readily available. To the powers that be, hire Rogue Fitness as consultants and have them educate your equipment buyers and facility designers. It's 2018 and physical fitness has evolved. There's no longer a need to keep buying the same old tired equipment and packing every square inch of the gym with machines.
This place is great I just wish they had an indoor basketball court and I wish the jacuzzi worked on a more consistent basis
I know it is a gym but this is the first gym i have ever been to that smells gross. Like a high school boys locker room kind of smell. No matter what day you go.
They cancel a lot of the fitness classes, mainly around the holidays and it isn't because of the instructors. The gym just cancels them.
Also weird, they have paper towels and hand sanitizer so you can wipe the equipment......never seen that before. Usually gyms will provide disinfecting wipes but not here. I found that odd and kind of cheap.

Yes this place is crowded and it's because everyone wants to be in a clean facility with kool staff. This location is great compared to others, plus the people who work out here are so nice. Classes are great and they are crowded too, but it's because everyone wants to be in them. They work!
It's a popular spot and can get busy but most gyms are... this is California. It's clean and tidy. The staff are friendly and the trainers know what they are doing. I would recommend this gym
It is a great place to the exercise Always clean good environment in great people and a lot of parking 2 hours free
Short: LA Fitness Corporate is awful, this gym in particular would be OK if it wasn't oversold, populated by meatheads, and you could park without penalty. The pool and staff are bright spots.
Long:
The location isn't terrible; the parking is often a nightmare. I stopped using the parking because it would routinely take 20-40(!) minutes to leave the parking lot during peak times (6-8pm), and if you're over 2 hours, you get charged for your overage, even though you tried to leave much earlier. So even before you get in the doors it sucks.
Then it's a typical gym sign up experience - they try to bilk an "initiation fee" out of you, which you should NEVER PAY to a corporate gym. Just wait them out for a no-fee day or they will call and harass you after you take your first tour and you can say "If you knock off the fee I'll join" and then there you go.
What I'm currently incensed about is cancelling. You have to either cancel in-person or you have to print out a form and send it in. I tried twice to cancel in-person before I moved and was given twice the response "sorry the person that does that is on break, come back in an hour". Maybe I'm just unlucky. So I asked their customer service why we couldn't cancel over the phone or via the internet and it was because of "traceability". Never mind the absurdity of snail mail being more traceable than an online form - this is an obvious ploy to bilk another month or two of fees from people who have moved and don't have time to find envelopes/stamps/etc until the dust settles.
So that's just the corporate experience. The gym experience at this location is mixed. There are plenty of meatheads here - never expect the dumbbells to be put away, expect weights to be dropped, expect some hilarious grunters. But honestly. I expect this from LA. People are incentivized to not put dumbbells away because the second you step out of your space in the free-weight area to change dumbbells some hipster-haircut will steal your space. Still, people aren't overtly rude, just the typical LA I'm-not-going-to-acknowledge-your-existence rude.
The main problem is that the gym is oversold. As more people start working nearby the gym is just going to get worse. Going at peak times means your workout is going to take between 30-50% longer, and there is no chance you could do anything like a superset (unless you're really, really selfish and rude, which happens on occasion).
Many of the machines are often broken. This was frustrating. There was a one-week stretch were all three of their rowing machines were broken. The weight machines broke often as well, and often sat for a month before being repaired. This wouldn't be a huge deal if you could ever get a bench, but forget about it. Getting a bench has the same odds as getting from SM to downtown in a half-hour.
The outdoor pool is actually nice, and decently maintained. I wish they had a suit spinner. Also, there are no pool rules posted, so expect kooks to take up a lane just floating on occasion, and also expect some type A dudes to come through and demand to circle-swim.
I think I've noticed 3 different General Managers pass through in my 3 years of attending this club. I've seen dozens of different salespeople, not usually lasting more than 6 months. There's an orange-haired personal trainer who seems like a solid trainer - I've definitely eavesdropped on some of the trainers and he's positive and gives good, in-depth advice. I actually have always really liked the front desk staff. They are usually really nice and friendly, and the maintenance staff seems to work hard.
My go to gym. I go during off hours so it's never too crowded. But if you go anytime between 4pm-8pm.... Good luck
Relatively clean, weight area, cardio area, and class rooms are in good order. Locker rooms could use some help but what place has perfect locker rooms?
