Let's start with the good and then move to the rest. This LA Fitness location has a lot of space, a great view of the river and downtown, and plenty of cardio equipment with variety. The indoor track and pool are in good shape and not a common feature of most gyms. Located off of 471 near Newport, it's very convenient to downtown and midtown. If you're there for cardio, this gym will not seem busy... there's plenty of cardio options. For weight training the picture is a little bleaker but there's good news there too. Dumbbells go up to 125lbs, straight bars and EZ bars, there are 3 flat benches, 2 incline benches, 2 smith machines, 1 decline bench, 1 power rack, 1 squat rack, 1 universal cable machine setup, and a good variety of hammer strength type machines. While the cardio equipment is relatively new, the weights have seen better days. They are in working order but they're old and the plates are a mashup of different styles. If you're squatting you may have to wait for one of the two racks or work in. The staff and management seem to care about their facility and based on their comments they are in the process of updating equipment as they are able. Oh... and while there are water fountains, I learned today that there is no bottle filler. Free parking on the river side of the building.
