Got a five day guest pass went into work out they told me that I needed to sit down with a sales person because I needed to sign a waiver which is understandable but I did not see that on the website when I got the pass but they told me to sign the waiver is very important in case my guess gets hurt which like I said understandable but then she said if you give me $15 for a day pass he could go work out so I told her OK you’re saying that the waiver is very important that they need to sign but if I give you $15 who cares about the waiver now Very disappointed at the person working the front desk I normally don’t post reviews but her attitude was not good and not helpful at all and I’ve been a member since 2015

ALWAYS A GREAT PLACE TO EXERCISE.Plenty of treadmills!However, depending on the hour and/or day of the week, will detrrmine the availability of circut training, fixed weights (machines).Just steer clear of the wanna-be over-enthusiastic body builders who claim two machines at once... they are rude and dont clean up after themselves, nor do they sanatize the machine after they use it.

They make it a hassle to cancel a membership. Harassing phone calls after the fact.

The equipments are a bit old and not well maintained. Lighting was average which made the whole area a bit dark. It was weird to take elevator to go to the weights and cardio areas. Lift was old too.

I returned to the gym today after a 13 month absence due to the pandemic. Unfortunately, many members were working out maskless, or with masks around neck, under chin, etc. I moved workout machines 4 times to avoid those members. In the 90 minutes I was there, I saw no employees reminding members about their corporate safety COVID-19 protocols. Keep this in mind if you are considering a return to this location.

The gym used to be Ballys and LA Fitness took over few years ago and they upgraded with many new equipments. It has a free parking and conveniently and easy access to freeway and not far distance from the beaches.

I like coming to this gym I would give it 5 stars but when I was checking in I heard one of the managers from the morning shift talking about making it difficult for someone that cleans the 2nd floor just “to be the bad guy “. I dislike unfair bosses so I will rate this place a 2 star but only because of management. Other than that it’s an alright place to workout at .

Ja
Review №17

I have been going here for years, so I know what this place is like. But I will say that since we are in a pandemic it’s been even more nasty that one of the managers repeatedly DOES NOT WASH HIS HANDS after using the restroom. I’m like come on dude, that is how you have a health inspector come in and shut everything down. That’s how you become a super spreader and ruin it for the rest of us.

Friendly, unpretentious, well run gym. Polite crowd with good gym etiquette. Usually not as crowded as the flashier location on bellflower, and less of a scene.I didnt like the personal training sell when I first signed up, but once I got past that, the gym has been perfect.

Yours truely Wesley, owner/mover of Shift It Moving was here. This is the home of fitness and a better life. You dont need that awe-inspiring, crazy looking, over the top gym to be the best you in life, waste of money and ego. You just need to keep it simple, knowledge, and work for it. This gym has it and all gyms of LA Fitness have what you need. The average person that wants to get the ideal body that they wish to get shall never be disappointed with LA Fitness and this gym particularly. Yes, its multiple levels but thats an extra workout walking up and down stairs ;). Shoot if you even need help call me, I know fitness and what it takes. Shift It Moving is fitness. LA fitness works trust me. Dont be your own excuse. #personaltraining #yoga #gym #inspiration #motivation #movers #movingcompany #longbeachmovers

Honestly don’t know why people give low rates to that location. I love that gym, very spacious, clean, quite so you could concentrate on your workout, parking space is huge and free, 3 floors! I personally have no problem with that location, I commute 30 minutes JUST for that location.

Loved swimming in the pool. Had to stop. Too much chlorine. You should change to saltwater pools. Too bad. I really enjoyed myself. Not worth a week of chemical burns from the chlorine.

Hardly do reviews but, Imma do one in Thai case if you come with a friend to try a different gym and they non members they’ll give you attitude if you trying to use a pass. I’m a member who cancel his membership because of how rude the staff was. Other LA fitness have way better staff. Specially some of the morning manager I believe his name was Andrew.

Review №34

Like most chain gyms they participate in predatory sales and cancellation practices. Whenever I’ve tried to cancel membership or personal training I get a “sure we will take care of it and you’ll receive an email confirmation” and then I have to follow up because they never actually cancel and will try to get you for an extra month or outside of a cancellation period. Their employees will also provide conflicting information verbally (so you don’t have documentation) regarding contracts when signing up to get you to sign up, so read through your contract yourself instead of relying on their employees knowing anything.On top of this they rarely clean the gym so if you have sensitive skin you will probably get a fungal infection here.Their ‘personal’ trainers are not actually personal, you basically get the same service you would get from watching a YouTube video and your trainer will switch week to week so you’re just paying for someone to google a YouTube workout for you and add nothing else to the session.Would never recommend this gym to anyone, the only upside is the location is convenient for my needs.Edit: after cancelling a personal training contract with them, my wife and I were told by Angelo (I guess the manager for personal trainers) that my wife still had sessions she paid for and to not forget to use them. This was fine, so she setup an appointment... only to have it cancelled by Angelo. Provided no notice, no apology, no compensation for wasted time and only took fault when we brought this up to him specifically. Was very unhelpful and became rude when we asked to file a complaint. Front desk also tried to blame it on the mobile app initially. Horrible service and incompetent employees.

I really like the swimming pool. 4.5 feet deep, which is excellent. Miss the steam room. Jacuzzi is great. Ive been attending here for a long time, since it was Ballys. Much cleaner now. Locker room could use some upgrades. Maintenance is pretty good.

Review №37

Clean spacious with a view! the Jacuzzi is always packed with older men which is uncomfortable. Maybe make a female Jacuzzi. That being said the pool area could be ventilated better. More AC in the building thank you.

I like this gym in mornings because it’s empty but in evenings it’s (it can be) very crowded, but that’s a gym you can’t have everything perfect all the time (except the equipmentthat has to be be perfect. I don’t swim in the pool and don’t go in the Jacuzzi because people don’t shower before entering which is gross. They have an ice bath, (that’s my jam) because if you have the courage to sit in the bath, 98% of the people will shower off before entering.I hope this helped, to tell you the truth every gym has their downfall and successes don’t let others dictate Your decision/goals 🤙🏻

Review №44

I joined this gym mainly for usage of the sauna and jacuzzi for health reasons. The sauna has been down since July 2018 and nobody, I mean NOBODY CAN GIVE ME AN HONEST ANSWER when it will be fixed. Im paying my membership dues on a timely basis but they cant fix a damn sauna for 6 months? They are the worst on customer service.

Li
Review №45

No one ever answers the phone, sauna is always out of order & never gets fixed in a timely matter, even though these problems happen often i make the best of my experience at this location. The thing that sucks is that when it’s time to pay the monthly bill, they never skip a beat, they’re so quick to take your money & call your phone asap, but when there’s maintenance problems?! This gym likes to take their sweet time.

I love the fact that the classes are included in the membership, theres a sauna and pool. The locker rooms and pool area at the PCH location could be cleaner. Im always finding food around the pool area which is nasty to say the least. The staff is really friendly and helpful tho.

Review №52

The sales rep I dealt with was dishonest. Other staff around, said nothing. He told me there were no deals but later, I found better deals on-line. Their customer service is sub-par or maybe better when staff feels culturally connected. I have had bad experiences dealing with staff at other locations. My advice, search for other better locales unless you swim.

Review №56

🌞😊As the cancer survivor with awful side effects was using LA Fitness for WaterTherapy. Wow it took sometime before I began to notice that the facility with STEAM ROOM was extremely helpful. Most people arent aware that it helps to lower high bloodpressure. Blood Vessel shrink when cold which isnt good - heart must pump harder while steam room helps to expand blood vessel and less pressure on heart. From steamroom to pool back to steam room made a big difference. In Highland LA FITNESS not available. Continue to find one here but to no avail. Thank you LA FITNESS former member of BALLY.😊

Sale staff was extremely rude and pushy. Tried to sale me a membership everyday that I went in on a guest pass. Also they lied serval time about the prices of other gyms. In addition, the gym equipment was trash. There is only 2 squat racks in the whole gym, the benches are horrible, and dumbbells only go up 100 pounds.

Review №75

This place is disgusting! Not only will you have to walk to through the gross bathroom to go up to the gym, never mind the naked old dudes. The equipment never gets clean and everything is all over the place. The most annoying thing is that the trainer area in the third floor is a restricted area, even though it may be empty, literally empty, they wont let you use it. It makes absolutely no sense.

Jo
Review №76

Place is overy subscribed..too many people! It is inadequately staffed with young kids left in charge of the place at night. If you want to use dumbbells forget it! They frequently are left strewn all over the place and it takes a search to find them. There is no attempt by staff to compelling members to put their weights back when finished. Sometimes there is either no air conditioning or inadequate air conditioning. ANARCHY is the word which describes the place best and corporate just does not care!

Great place but they did not allow you to read the contract right away they kind of pressure you through reading the contract they do let you read to certain amount of time but they want the paper sign there and then theyre not going to give you an hour or so so you can finish reading everything you expected to be a Flash Reader

How this dump got 5 stars is beyond me. I stopped going the moment I stepped in and totally changed my gym due to lack of sanitation and the dread of infection. You couldnt pay me enough to enter those showers sauna or swimming pool or walk without shoes with a cesspool of flesh eating bacteria left over from nasty unbathed bodies.

Review №86

Been going to this location for a while because its the closest to my house. equipment is fairly new. Pretty easy to navigate throughout because of the 3 floors; 1st floor is the pool/locker rooms, 2nd floor has all the weight equipment and indoor track, 3rd has the cardio equipment.

PJ
Review №87

Changing/locker/bathrooms arent in the greatest conditions and how difficult is it to put the weights back in the correct position afterwards? Not really the gyms fault but the retarded members. People are retarded. But for $29 pm what do you expect?Positive things are the cold dip pool and jacuzzi. Just wonder how clean that water really is???

Review №95

I used to rate this place a 4 before. But its started to sink. Weights are usually not racked. Some equipment padding is used up and showing wear & tear, for some reason there are now 2 missing cable pull handles (close grip). And the lockers dont fit a full gym bag. And parking is non-existent from 5 to 8pm. Another update now been coming here 2 years. If I could give it a 2.5 I would. They fixed the locker situation so thats a plus. The locker room and 2nd floor flooring is updated. However they closed the main sauna. Huge minus. That was one of reasons my girlfriend and I chose this one over bellflower. And I just found out they used to have a steam room as well. Another is they for some reason put less seats in the current saunas. Gym equipment is about the same as before and us your usual standard equipment. I dont know. It sounds like theyre just cutting more and more corners. Less quality for the same price as before.

Sa
Review №96

I really like this LA Fitness location. If only they provided free wifi such as the other location on 2180 N Bellflower, I would be giving it 5 stars. It looks clean, they have a lot of equipment. Its conveniently closer to central Long Beach. Did I mention itd be great if there was wifi available

Review №98

I came to this gym when it was Baleys and it was a lot nicer back than. I went to scope it out last Saturday before closing, and I found such a hasel. Everything is on a separate floor. When you get to the lobby, you have to wait for the one elevator to take you up to the 2nd level to do weights. Then if you want to do cardio, you have to go to the third floor. After I visited the 2nd floor, I wanted to go up to the third floor and see the cardio room, but after I pressed the up button, the elevator took me all the way back down to the lobby level; not only that, I had to ride the elevator with stinky and sweaty people I didnt even know, it was disgusting, uncomfortable, and such a waste of my time. If your an older person who has a difficult time walking, or just like everyone else that just wants to get in and out and get their workout done, this gym is not the place to go. Try another gym, that makes more sense.

Jo
Review №99

This has to be one of the worst la fitness. The staff does not care about anything. I have never seen any of them putting away weights or anywhere besides the lobby. The other members at the gym have no type Of gym etiquette. Weights are left everywhere, free weights arent racked or after using the machine, and nothing is cleaned. Overall its an absolute terrible gym and staff.
