This gym is practically my second home now, I workout here almost everyday. Safe to say I love the place. The people are always more than willing to help you, with any questions or concerns.I train with Anthony and with Maiya, and both are amazing people. The trainer Anthony helped me with an IT band injury, his stretching, and PNF techniques helped relieve the tension in my hips. I went from having pain from walking and standing to having no pain at all. He helped me work on my flexibility, and regain full range of motion and mobility in the hip area. And with Maiya I have started to ease back into the leg workouts.The staff here is truly wonderful, Rob and Lily the managers truly care about the clients here, and making sure the gym is a great environment for everyone. The passion Rob (Robert) has for working out cannot go unnoticed, he is always willing to give you a workout or point you into a direction if you are lost or new. Travis is super nice, he helped me with a machine and a workout, and explained how to adjust the machine, as I was totally confused.Safe to say, I love this gym and all the people here. It’s definitely something special, and I’ve worked out at my fair share of gyms.

I was a member here about 10 years ago and if I had been writing this review back then I probably would have been more inclined to give it at least 4 stars. I recently moved back to the city and had no problem knowing where I would start working out again. However, after 10 years things change and I wanted to check the gym out again to make sure it was as well kept as I remember. I went online, got a free 4 day pass and went to work out. The facility looked good, but I only got as far as the front door before leaving. Things had changed, the management has now decided no day passes are to be given to previous members, even after 10 years! Sorry LA, bad management making dumb decisions means losing members.

These guys rock!.. professional.. want to help you, flexible, kind, interested in you versus getting a sale!! ... its all about management. . went to Escondido LA Fitness whole different experience - if you can drive a bit closer or on the border definitely choose San Marcos LA Fitness.. better management which makes a better overall environment!!

Overall the place is okay, but I do have one recommendation for their management.You should add a bottle fill station in addition to the regular fountain.This should be a covid precaution no?I saw some old guy put his mouth all over it.

First of all I’m just gonna say all the people that work there are the nicest people and they’re always willing to help you even if they’re trying to get some thing done. Equipment there is nice and clean, which is good so I don’t worry about getting Covid. There’s not any toxic people that work out there so it’s nice. Just overall awesome place to work out definitely going to be going there for the rest of my life

Review №24

Some upper management pushy and younger dude members will push your stuff off your bench and take it over when you go for dumb bells couple yards away. Just small number uncourteous members. But enough to make it noticeable. That said there equipment is clean and there are multiple sets of free weights and machines. The facility itself is well-maintained.

Review №26

Honestly i am so upset with la fitness, getting charged for 2 accounts, that i didnt know, how i have a second one open if ive only had one, my husband is the one who pays for my gym usually, so that was a surprise when he saw he was charged 6 times for the amount of 30 .00 knowing that i was consistently paying one account and i have receipts, and that account was deleted and they couldnt clarify which account was the one i was paying for that was up to date instead they left the account with over dues open that i didnt know i had a second account, i am really upset because nobody knows how to give a refund and i have to call corporate and they close at 2pm and we dont know if we will be charged more than we already paid, and i will call corporate again, im upset because of the miscommunication la fitness has no one knows nothing, and i really hope we get that refund back because ive been paying for it monthly if not i am going to have to dispute it because i feel like its getting stolen from us .

Probably the best and cleanest LA Fitness in all San Diego County. Plenty of machines and clean locker rooms. Still a gym and people can be better by putting their weights back and stop being lazy.

Review №45

One of the best gyms to go to. Highly recommend this gym if you want improve weight loss, swimming, or cardio. I go here almost everyday all you need is about an hour or two and you will feel the blood pumping in your body.

Me
Review №46

I cannot stand the benches they have in the weight lifting section. Unlike other LA Fitness establishments, the benches are not all adjustable, so you are stuck with either a flat bench, adjustable incline, or a seat. I was told by an LA Fitness employee that if one club had something, they all had to have the same amenity as they are a franchise, but this club does not offer a cafe with protein shakes/supplements. We come here because it is close by, but we prefer the Oceanside location a million times more.

Leaves a bit to be desired on how clean the Mens locker room is. Otherwise the staff is very good and courteous towards its customers. The gym,the pool area,the basketball court, and the equipment are in real good shape.

Review №53

It’s a good gym with enough free weights and machines to accommodate many workouts..but beware that the ‘complimentary personal training’ session is nothing more than a sales pitch for the personal training service. I felt uncomfortable because the dude I was with was pressing me so damn hard. I told him I couldn’t afford it, after doing the math it would’ve left me with like $5 a month! He acted disappointed that I didn’t want to do that! Lol that’s my only negative thing to say tbh...

Review №59

Nice equipment, nice pool, nice Jacuzzi. Front desk barely notices you in between their texts and Facebook chats. Atmosphere is beyond dead since the place is practically silent (bring headphones). The hours suck. The hours are the main reason I gave 2 stars since I rarely get my money worth. My best days to workout are on weekends. They open late and close early. Already looking for a new gym.

Review №62

The person who gave me a sample workout to try and sell me on personal training pushed me too hard and I ended up with knee pain and a bad back later (bulged disc). that has actually caused me pain and hindered me from going back for my regular workout that I had planned for myself. She should have taken it easy knowing I was getting back to working out after a long time and was not ready for it.

Review №63

This place is clean but the staff isnt that friendly. When I was joining and my wife was 9 months pregnant, I watched her during sign-up talks have to sit on the floor without the salesman offering her a seat. Wow. And my kids did not like their kids club-- TV always on and the older ladies there werent that nice. That might have changed (it was 18 months ago they were last there). With that said, the locker room is clean, and they have a shower in the pool area so more people rinse before getting in, which is nice.

My wife has1 year with the membership like a guess privilege and we are in training program she is seek today so i came to the gym to follow my training plan but this time in the front desk was MIKE KEMP THE SALE RUDE GUY and he told me this is not your card is your wifes card, i explain to him she cant came today. He said y you dont get your own card, i said can i ? He; yes common i can help you with that, he activated the card an d then he ask me, with which card you like to pay? i get confused and told hem i thought with the same membership, he say nop you have to pay 75 dollars.

Nice and clean. lots of machines and only crazy-busy during peak hours where any gym would be crazy. their sauna rules unless you get a heavy breather or grunter sitting right next to you.edit: sales staff disruptive and swearing loudly. Ive only ever seen one employee help clean up and rack weights. front desk staff has zero personality, hardly even a hello when I walk in to scan my membership card.

This fitness facility is newer and seems well kept up. I take a lot of water fitness classes and tried the monday night aqua fit class with Veronica.

The worst customer service experience. Their club is so busy that you cant even get any work out done without waiting . I tried to cancel my membership after 3 months. You can only cancel between 9am to 5pm. I have never seen anything like that. You can only cancel when most people work. This is stealing peoples money. I usually dont write negative comment but they made me so frustrated with their policy that I had to.

Pros: Excellent kids club staff, plenty of classes and equipment.Cons: The spin class room is poorly ventilated, leaving it much hotter and humid than the rest of the gym. Management is more concerned about excuses for a hot room than making it better for their members.

Staff is rude and inattentive. Gym is relatively crowded regardless of time of day. LA Fitness in general could learn a thing or 2 from 24 hour. 24 hour is grossly overpriced, but at least they have the space and equipment, and their staff seems to care about whats going on

Review №95

Im happy with my gym because I pay what feels like a fair price for the quality and variety of machines and how often I go.It does get very crowded at popular times, like right after work on week days.The jaccuzzi routinely gets cloudy and green from bacteria so sometimes you dont want to go in, and repairs take a long time, like the large/handicapped shower head was broken for weeks before they fixed it, and it still is cracked and leaks.Also this is more because of the people who go to the gym and not the gym itself, but people generally dont wipe down the machines or put weights back, and will steal your stuff if left behind. Weve lost a lock and a bathroom bag full of toiletries that were never turned in to lost and found. There are some annoying grunters and weight droppers, weird people in the saunas and locker rooms (one yelling crazy woman in the womens locker, and guys that spit on the floor of the mens sauna according to my husband).Over all Im happy with it and get a great work out in I the machines and can go to classes like yoga when I want. But dont expect a ritzy, exclusive gym experience here.

Review №96

The people that work there are rude and lie about the kind of membership they are giving. It seems that they have no customer service skills and majority of the people that walk in there get dirty looks from the employees. Other LA Fitness treat the people better and make then feel welcomed and encouraged to work out

Review №100

Good staff some reviewers claim updated equipment and clean club, this is a joke all old weight machines, all aerobic machines are outdated, decent free weight are but this gym is nasty.Almost no members carry their own towel or wipe down the machines or bench after they have used it. 24 hour fittness is opposite. Every memerber has a towel and wipes d0wn the bench, yes they provide towels but it is the members who do the work. Its a totally different attiude.There are a lot of old nasty dudes working out here with red bumps and scabs all over their bodies. Thats even okay if they would simply carry towels and wipe down the equipment after they soak them down.I have gotten infested with lice and crabs multiple times from working out here.Their are paper towel dispensers but no disinfectant liquid on the main floor.Upstairs for the aerobic machines have 2 foam dispensers. Free weight area 0Weight machine area 0.You would think the gym management would have some concern with hygiene in the club but none.All the benches and every machine handle and all free weights in this club are sticky.Pick up any free weight plate like a 45 lb plate and notice how sticky it is. That stickiness is bacteria who knows what else.They have cleaning staf at night 1 person who goes around and wipes everything down, totally worthless. The mens bathroom toilet area is totally disgusting urine puddles on the floor in.front of each urinal. The sink are isnt much better.Yes if you ignore these issues you can get a good workout here but this is a HEALTH CLUB not supposed to make us sick.Be sure to wear gloves and bring your own sanitizer.
