Its been since the pandemic, that I was able to use the one thing that I know kept me healthy. But our reliance should be more on truly understanding.

Very good selection of equipment. About 3 squat racks. 2 flat benches, 2 incline, and about 5 adjustable benches. Plenty of accessory machines. Doesn’t feel cramped. I come in around 8 or 9 in the morning and it’s not too packed. Staff is excellent and nice; Greg, the manager, was super accommodating for me and my service dog. No complaints here, plus they accept ACTIVE and FIT!

My wife went in recently to try it out and she felt very uncomfortable. She said the staff kept pushing her to get a membership, particularly from a guy named Jacob.Moreover, he even told her to call him directly as “this is how he makes his living”. I understand that you guys encourage people to get memberships, but he was already pushing from the moment she entered the door. Because of this she’s not sure if she’ll be returning. I personally wont come after hearing this. Its unfortunate as I heard the fitness instructor was really good.

DO NOT GO HERE. Club makes up their own rules and policies that contradict La fitness National policy. They are shady and say out of the box things. Be careful and guarded. I’m a previous member of 10+ years and have attended La fitness clubs nationwide. Be careful. EoS, crunch, and chuze offer better pricing and better staff. Give them a shot

So nice to have this gym open again. Although one of the older and in more in need of some upgrades, you still dont know what you got till its gone. Like most all the LA fitness they seem to keep everything clean and in order. Nice and friendly staff. Hopefully corporate will loosen some of the hours and stay open a little later.

The general manager at this gym is a complete fraud. The deal I got was nothing like I expected, and this is after I confirmed with him verbally in person many times. I specifically asked if my membership would allow me to go go to any LA Fitness including the signature gyms, he nodded hastily. Nope. I was lied to. I asked if there wasnt going to be an annual fee because my previous membership didnt have it. He confirmed that I was only going to pay a one time fee for initialization. Nope. Im being billed annually along with my monthly fees. This is such a shame and brings a lack of faith and commitment to this organization. This general manager pulled all the tricks in his bag like this deal was a one time offer and that its closing time so I had to hurry up and sign the contract. Please do not feel rushed when youre making this kind of commitment and please do read the tiny tiny fine print that these people WILL NOT point out!!

As soon as I walked in the health club I could tell the atmosphere changed when the general manager Greg Hatfield greeted me with a firm hand shake and smile then briefly walked me over to introduce me to the fellas at the Reign energy drink table and loaded my hands full of caffeine. WOW, what an amazing experience. I’m definitely ready for a good workout.

Definitely a must stop by for the fit crews from around. Our first stop in, everyone was very kind and helpful. The facilities were clean and the locals were very nice. I really loved the atmosphere, all the art, and music. Our sign up was smooth and courteous, we even felt like friends after just one meet and greet. Theres lots of equipment so I cant imagine that youd have to wait for anything and theres several studios. Thank you La Fitness for the warm welcome and yes I would highly recommend these good people.

We are in a pandemic right now the gym was basically disgusting!! I went in on Saturday morning and took a shower, The showers were disgusting there was gum, hair and somebody lefta pen in the shower!. I came back the next day, Sunday morning and I went into the showers they were disgusting they did not clean them up from the night before thr was still hair all over the floor there was still gum on the floor in the showers there were still pens in the showersNasty!! And now I tried to call them up to speak to the operational managers theyre all giving me the run around!!! The bottom line is someones gonna catch covid and LA Fitness is gonna be sued!!!!!!!

Worst experience I have had with the sales person. He was rude to me and my guest. I told the short man from FL, who is the LA Fineness salesman that I didnt have a CA. Drivers license since I just moved to CA and I have not updated my license due to covid, and he decides to tell me I can get arrested for not updating my license, as he continues to tell me his dad is a cop. Not sure why he had to say all that. I am a current member that placed my membership on hold and I was taking a guest in to play racquetball. Just starting to get back in to working out since everything is open now and I wanted dto introduce a friend to racquetball in LA Fitness. So embarrassing how this man talked to us. I will never recommend this place to anyone again.

Review №20

From a member of this gym to otger local gyms this gym is good only if y9u already have an existing membership.Cool basic gym but customer service, a gas station employee at the end of a 12 hour shift has better customer service. They also have all this extra covid regulations that most places in San Diego are not doing while those places still follow cdc guidelines, just an extra headache when you just want to get a good workout in.If you are looking for a new gym, check out The gym located in pacific beach, the gym is just the best with a true souther California style gym.

I was visiting SD for a couple of days and wanted to workout, so I came here. When I arrived, they initially told me that they didn’t do day-passes, in accordance with COVID protocols, which is entirely understandable; however, I was able to speak to Greg and he hooked me up with a day-pass.Greg was very accommodative and kind, as well as Zach (or Zack, as I’m unsure), who helped me at the front desk.They had all of the facilities you could need and in sufficient quantities. I only once had to wait briefly to use one of the machines.Great service, great facilities, great time!

It has a large parking space and employees are very friendly. I am not good at English so I worried to go. But there staffs explained to me slowly and kindly. There is also a swimming pool and sauna. Also I could take yoga class in here. And large fitness room make me feel fresh.

This is a stripper gym. 7 benches total for the freeweights and they are always in use, about 4000 gimmick machines across the floor though. Also impossible to cancel, you have to download a form, print it out, and mail it to them.

Although some of the equipment is a bit older , they have a lot. Maybe a few more weight benches would be nice but than it would probably be to full. The staff is friendly and there is plenty of stuff to clean the equipment (because of COVID).

Re
Review №32

They were very pushy about signing me up for a personal trainer, at one point even telling me my “priorities weren’t right”. When gyms reopened briefly in June, they charged me for June, July, and the yearly fee, then closed again a few weeks later. They have now reopened, but I decided to end my membership, which they made impossible. Ended up calling my credit card and blocking their charges. The staff might be good, but at the end of the day they are a business trying to squeeze every last dime out of you.

Overall would recommendPros : Staff are very friendly and accommodating, Rob helped me set-up a new member on my account, Melissa was kind of enough to help with the transfer of a membership from Georgia to California and I had a personal training session with Mike who was awesome and showed me a lot of great stuff. Also love Roy from the shake place!Cons: Unfortunately the gym is a little dated, there is carpet in the locker rooms which seems unsanitary. The pool has been closed since Ive been attending (3-4 months) and the sauna was falling apart up until recently, then it got a half remodel.Great people, Good value, would recommend

This LA fitness venue has a good size workout room, great personal training center, basketball court, racquetball, swimming pool and exercise studios. Lots of classes. They have an interactive app for finding classes, checking the schedule and signing into the club. I’ve been a member since 2004. I attend the Aqua fit classes. I’d prefer something more advanced as the aqua teachers cater to seniors. Both aqua instructors follow a similar structure which NEVER CHANGES! Same routine day after day! Nothing advanced! That being said, the teachers are very nice and I go because I’ve had both knees replaced and arthritis. Spin classes are intense! Machines in workout room are well kept but some need revamping or replacing. GREAT STAFF!! I give this one 3 stars because the locker rooms are really in need of an upgrade and the place needs a facelift!!

Anthony has been one of best personal training directors I’ve come across and I’ve been coming here for 7 years. He’s so helpful with following through his commitments towards costumer satisfaction.

LA Fitness at this location is Awesome. The Staff have excellent customer service and they make you feel appreciated. The environment is so professional that I feel like a millionaire every time I step through the door. They greet me with so much respect I started to think that I was President Obama. The women are gorgeous and the facility is a 10. I would recommend every one to come to this location if you want to get fit and even enjoy the pool and all of the exciting features that are offered. I am very critical when it comes to giving feed back because I am a Libra and if I cant feel positive energy at a location it turns me off instantly but I feel so happy when I see the building it makes me smile every time. Great Job guys to all of the staff. Salute!

Andrew was so friendly and helpful. Being from out of town (Australia), we were unsure of how LA Fitness works, however the staff were so helpful and talked us through the entire sign up process. Once inside, we came across the biggest amount of quality exercise equipment I’ve seen in a very long time. Can’t recommend this gym and especially Andrew, any more. Cancel your current membership and get here to LA Fitness - Shawline now!!!

Review №51

Good gym. Very happy with the job they do overall. They dont over officiate and or over manage. The best thing that any gym owner or management can do is open the gym on time get the music on make sure theres hand soap and paper towels in the bathroom maintain your equipment and then leave the members alone. Unless, someone is going to hurt themselves with the way that theyre doing something. Other than that very happy with the gym and the quality of equipment and the professionalism of the staff.

The building and equipment is a little dated but overall its a clean facility with friendly staff. Theres generally a good number of people at all times. Its never dead.Absolute favorite yoga instructor is Jorge!! The guy gives clear instructions, gives you some personal advice or checks on if youre having a hard time with a certain move and I love the mediation bit he does at the end. 💪💪

Wouldn’t go anywhere else. The gym is always clean and if I notice things that are in need of maintenance usually when I go the next day it’s already fixed or being taken care of. Their staff is amazing point blank period. They treat you like family and always are down to help you out. The personal trainers walk around and give out pointers/advice to people or just talk and it creates a professional but relaxed environment to workout in. This gym is legit

😡 0 star. I became a member ( family plan) of this LA Fitness, paid $ 278.96. He was explained me that , this plan works in all states, in 2 days i turned out in Las Vegas, there is no such fitness in general not LA Fitness. (about 27 states there is only). Through den I called him and asked to be closed and the money returned. I was spent there for a long time, then He was told to come to any fitness department CA and close it and get money back , spent 7-8 hours, I did not receive anything exactly, (where I came different LA Fitness in CA, they ignored me, then they 2 Manager laughed) then I call him again, then He said that for 2 weeks you will receive money . For a month the money was never returned. Today called again said to come and get the money back to the card. They all have my account number all. What century are we living in? Sucks. I have enrolled in fitness 24. I hope LA Fitness not to deceive me. I definitely will not leave it. I lost my job, and 278.96 for me to much money . Sorry my English not well

Honestly there was a veteran there who was so kind and its only because of him that I even considered to come into work out there he was patient funny honest and a newer kid on the block so although I realize it was probably tough and he does need commissions his mannerisms were funny kind and respectful and I would definitely come back again I would love to see a sauna room with the steam room but that is my only gripe other than that its an excellent place to work out with lots of options and I do see myself there in the future

Review №71

Visited this LA fitness for the first time. Did not talk to employees, so no review or comment on them. However in regards to the equipment condition and facility, it definitely needs some remodeling. Lockers were dirty, dumbbell area has tons of dust and rust areas were you can see it has not been cleaned in a while, some equipment were a little banged up, however in working condition which is the only thing that matters and sauna also needs some cleaning and remodeling. Lockers are small can barely fit a regular gym bag, so if you bring some additional clothes have some fun time jamming it in the locker..

Club need an renovation for the price Im paying with the master training $300 per month not including the monthly membership. Let alone being treated like garbage by the new so-called general manager. Who gave me his fake name. I signed my coworker up for the 14 days guest pass with my VIP account but that was not honored and it was only for 5 days. Instead of coming up with a solution for me, the general manager threw his title at my face and talked down on me. I do not recommend going to this club and I will cancel my family membership from today.
