Easily one of the worst gyms I've been to for the price. The man who appears to be the manager (I've seen him at other locations as well), is incredibly rude. My girlfriend was thinking of signing up and he was being extremely condescending about our previous gym memberships simply because they weren't LA Fitness, among other things. She ended up not buying a membership because of this - and it appears that other people have similar experiences.
The gym itself is pretty terrible as well. The same guy bragged that they have X amount of floor space, but the entire first floor is only office space, lockers, and spin classroom. And the at least half of the second floor is taken up by a classroom area, stairs, and a ridiculous amount of cardio machines. The functional space in the gym is very tiny and often very cluttered. They lack some major equipment and most of their machines are very, VERY poorly maintained. The majority of the machines have malfunctions, including the numbers on the weights being warn completely off - then they occasionally sloppily write the numbers directly onto the weights with chalk, instead of ordering a pack of stickers from the manufacturer. The gym itself is often quite clean, the janitorial staff do a good job, despite the equipment being junk.
Overall, it is a huge waste of money to come to LA fitness rather than other commercial gyms. For instance, LA fitness charges $30 a month for one base membership, whereas Youfit is $20 a month for the premium membership and unlimited guest pass. All for about the same amount of value, depending on the location - with some locations even surpassing the far more expensive LA fitness. I would certainly NOT go to this gym if I didn't live very close to it. I have often even gone to other commercial gyms, despite having an LA Fitness membership, simple because it is a better experience.
