The ONLY good thing about this place is the people, specifically the weekday morning crew. Richard at the front desk and Patty, who cleans.
Richard is a sweetheart who always greets you with the most heartfelt hello.
Patty is a wonderful woman who takes her job very seriously. Every morning I see her scrub the women's locker room from top to bottom and I'm pretty sure that's the only cleaning it gets. She loves her job because she loves the people she interacts with every morning. Let me be clear, Patty is amazing. So many of the people who come to this club say Patty and Richard are the only reason they stay.
There is nothing else good about this club other than the proximity to my job, which is why I continue to go. The equipment sucks, and the few pieces of good equipment (rowing machine, ropes) they do have, they keep LOCKED UP and tell you you can't use it unless you buy a (disgustingly overpriced) personal training package. Every other LA fitness does have a personal training area with this type of equipment, but you're allowed to use it if there's not training session going on.
Other than that, you have rundown equipment, jerks who don't re-rack their weights, and nighttime staff who don't clean up and leave it all for the morning. (I know this is the case because I come right after they open. Nothing is put away.)
