Came in to Breakthru after having an absolutely horrible experience at LA Fitness.
I know, comparing the 2 is like comparing a Ferrari to bicycle, but Breakthru Fitness was really a GREAT gym, and I really thought about splurging and getting a membership after the week free trial.
The gym is located next to Trader Joe's on the 3rd floor of a complex. There is a huge 4 level parking lot attached to this complex, so parking wasn't a problem. In this part of South Pasadena, that is a HUGE deal.
Secondly, the staff at Breakthru were amazing. Not only were they super upbeat and friendly and ready to help us with any problems that we had, they did not once hassle us for being trial members or try to push us to join, even after the trial ended. Not a single phone call. For a 7-day trial, which is 3x longer than any other trial I've had at much cheaper gyms, that's a great deal.
The gym itself is very spacious, and you honestly get what you pay for. There are a bunch of personal training-specific machines and a lot of fun things to play with because of the roots of the gym and their dabbling in Crossfit.
Alongside the equipment, there are free towels provided, as well as bath towels and great showers in the locker rooms.
The only small caveat I would have to say is that their free weight section is a little lacking. Because of their target population(older), I totally understand why that is, but it would be nice if they had a few more selections in dumbbells and barbell weights.
Because of how spacious and empty the gym was though, even using their one set of weights was never an issue.
Love the place, and am seriously considering getting a membership :X
