The new(ish) manager needs some major training. She hires new people and pushes out the fantastic people, it makes no sense!!! Zara is gone, super sad! Ignacio appears to be the only person cleaning, and he is amazing but simply cannot maintain the entire gym. With Blanca gone in the a.m. and Lily gone in the p.m., there is mold growing in the woman's showers ...yuck!! Moved rating from 3 to 1, and if negative ratings were an option I'd go there!

Wow, the staff turnover with the new manager is CRAZY and says VOLUMES about the management style. Hope Zara and Nina STAY, they are wonderful!! Ignacio is another BIG asset for this location, he keeps the gym looking clean! Thank you Z N and I 😁

Most staff are wonderful, Zara (always a smile), Angela, Elizabeth and Blanca are A++, but management (Eric) is subpar and disappointing to deal with. Pool is often over chlorinated and equipment out of service for extended periods of time. If not for local convience I would move to another gym. Staff is 5 star, but management and gym are at best a 1 (updated to 2 on 5/28/25).
Just learned today the SD Dept of Health wrote them up for Spa/Pool issues ...maybe things will get better on that front!!

Update ...pool water quality is much better, new morning staff member Zara is a delight! Increased from 1 to 3 stars! Thanks Zara for bring your smile and cheer to 5am!!

I actually joined LA Fitness specifically because Briana and her sister, CJ, are teaching here now. I’ve been taking their classes for years at different studios and community events, and there is nothing like the community they build. It’s not just a workout, it’s a whole vibe. Everyone is welcome, everyone is encouraged, and you leave feeling like you just danced with friends you didn’t even know you had.

When I tell you we SWEAT!! like, absolutely drenched, but in the best way. It never feels intimidating, it never feels like you have to look a certain way or keep up, you just move how your body moves and have FUN. Briana, her sister, and her daughter know how to hype a room and make everybody feel seen. I’m so glad LA Fitness added them to the schedule. This is the kind of energy a gym should have.

The front desk people are always rude and inconsistent. Some people ask you to check in a certain way and others let you self service check in by scanning your barcode. There are not enough cardio machines. A few of the machines have been broken for awhile. The gym in itself is outdated and not very clean. There are very few classes available to take. The only reason I come here is because it is probably the closest gym to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.

I’m usually more of a weights guy, don’t really do the dance stuff, but my wife dragged me into this Zumba class with Briana and I’ll be honest… that was actually a good time. The music was loud (which I liked), easy to follow, and everyone was just having fun. And having her sister and daughter in there hyping people up was cool too — felt like you were just at a big family party. I was sweating for real. Might not admit this to my friends but yeah, I’ll go again lol.

When I went into inquire about the gym and a membership, Arman was just the person to help me! He listened to my needs and answered all my questions. He did a great in touring me around the gym and pointing out all its features. He discussed the membership options based on my needs. He was very professional and friendly. I appreciated the time he took with me to help me make the right choice. I would recommend contacting him for any help or questions. Thank you!

Dropped by this branch last Thursday due to an 11:00 AM appointment nearby. While I’m generally a happy LA Fitness member and love our regular Twin Oaks location, I have to say this El Norte branch could really use some TLC.

The gym floor is alright, but the men’s locker room and wet area were noticeably dirty. After my workouts, I usually relax in the hot tub—but the Jacuzzi here wasn’t hot at all, and the stained tiles were a bit unsettling. I couldn’t help but imagine the buildup from who-knows-how-many people.

LA Fitness overall gets my thumbs up—but I hope this branch gets a deep clean and a little more attention soon.

LA fitness in Escondido has shown It’s true colors and professionalism or lack there of. There’s a recently new trainer who places pieces of paper taped for an hour plus on machines for private training sessions. Within this time due to the way it is placed people are unable to use these specific machines. This is occurring at a timeframe between 5 and 7 PM which is rush-hour for everybody getting out of work and trying to get a workout in. When a confrontation occurred two days in a row with my husband he was trying to use the machines due to the fact there are only three of each. He was told by manager Yvette and trainer Kimberly that the individual who has a training session and pays more than he does so they take priority over any equipment at the gym. I would like to note that these machines are not in a training only Section of the gym, if so this would make more sense if you have specific exercises that need to be done and machines that need to be saved for training purposes then you should put one of each in the specific training area in the center of the gym. I spoke to upper management (Daniel) in Oceanside who pretty much said Signs will remain in place because people do in fact pay more than we do. He tried to state that the machines could still be used prior to them needing it, but it needs to be available once the trainee needs it. You can look at the picture yourself and see how you’re supposed to use that machine or if that sign in anyway states that you’re still available to use it before then. So our 11 years of paying a membership is inadequate as far as they see it. Please don’t waste your money here. There are so many other options for gyms in the area. Personal gyms with owners who actually care about their clientele and their opinions. As far as Kimberly and Yvette go, I hope your CEO and upper management are happy with your customer service skills and the way that you treat your customers. You will be losing more accounts than just our families. DO BETTER at the job you were paid to do.

I want to give a huge shoutout to Arman at LA Fitness for his exceptional help with my membership changes. I initially had the “any gym access” membership, which wasn’t really what I wanted, so I decided to switch to a location-specific membership that better fit my needs and budget. Arman was incredibly understanding and patient as I navigated the process. He made everything super smooth, from refunding my previous membership to adjusting and setting up the new one with no hassle at all. His friendly and professional approach made what could have been a stressful experience really easy and pleasant. I truly appreciate his help and excellent customer service. Thanks so much, Arman! Highly recommend LA Fitness because of team members like him.

I just like this place because it’s close to my house. Otherwise this place needs some employees that give a crap and some better upkeep. Manager needs to keep this place stocked with paper towels and sanitizing wipes. Pretty often they’re all out. I’d happily pay more for a better maintained gym but there is none nearby.

Sepher was awesome, not being pushy or overly car salesman like; he focused on giving us great options based on what we needed as far as memberships and day pass visits. Friendly and professional manager and staff.

Will be coming back more and more for sure 🤙

This used to be the best LA fitness you could go to it has The best selection of machines and the mens sauna used to get up past 180°. Now you're lucky if it even hits 160 where that actual benefits begin. They need to stop repairing something that's not going to work and replace it with a new unit we pay them monthly and they can't even provide us with a functioning sauna and don't waste your time mentioning that to the desk staff. They're not there to help but sit and do nothing all day it's sad how careless the people that work there are now.

I have belonged to this gym for years they keep it very clean my only complaint is that nobody returns her weights or dismounts their weights after using and they do not enforce it or have no system to put that in place it is very frustrating. When you want to use a machine and it is stacked with hundreds of pounds. The pool jacuzzi and sauna room are all great.

I've been going to this gym for a while, and while the workout facilities are
decent, the showers are a big problem.
They're consistently dirty, with slimy buildup on the floors that makes using them feel unhygienic. It's disappointing because clean, usable showers are essential after a workout. I hope management addresses this soon.

I switched over from 24 hr to LA fitness because it was closer to home and the transition was a bit of an adjustment, but so worth it. I appreciate that the woman's sauna is separate from the men's. My experience here has been Amazing, Lucy at the front desk is very pleasant, welcoming and consistent with her welcoming positive energy and words of encouragement. Elizabeth does a stupendous job of sanitizing the entire facility especially the woman's restroom. She really puts in work!! She really takes pride in her work and it does not go unnoticed. Thank you, Lucy for being a shinning light so early in the mornings and Thank You Elizabeth for keeping the place Tidy! Highly recommend this gym for anyone looking for a clean and positive workout space!

I had a very bad experience at the San Marcos location upon arrival. They contracted my daughter for monthly tuition but always automatically charged me for six months. The registrar had promised to take money from us monthly if needed, but he left, and no one else took responsibility. We had to dispute all charges with our bank.
Additionally, you won't believe what we saw at the Escondido location. My daughter, husband, and I went there to use the pool and hot tub. There was no supervision, and a tattooed man in boots entered the water without warning. The men's bathroom was completely muddy, and the jacuzzi water was full of foaming agents. It was so bad that my eyes burned, and my daughter and I got an infection from the pool water. I still have itching on my skin. Please be careful before registering at LA Fitness, and don't sign any document before understanding what it is. Thank you.

Great gym. Good mix of machines and free weights. The sauna is great after a long work out. There is also a pool also if you enjoy that. Plenty of parking which a lot of gyms locations seem to struggle with. If you go in the evening after five, you may struggle finding a cardio machine just like everywhere else.

The star of the show is Lucy at the front desk. She is there in the AM during the week and she is awesome. Pleasant, courteous and professional. She runs the check in desk like a 5 star concierge service. I like to start my day out with exercise and positivity. Lucy is definitely a contributing factor to that positive positivity.

Enjoy your workout!

I recently got a membership again at LA Fitness, Escondido after being a member since 2014. When I spoke to the sales rep I told him I had received an email stating I could sign up again for Multiclub $29.99 or nationwide $34.99. I advise him I wanted Multiclub like I had before. He stated I was getting a special pricing for $24.99, which wasn't on my email. I also confirm with him if it was Multiclub before I paid and he said yes. So recently this week I went into another La Fitness at another location and I was advise I didn't have access to use the gym due to my membership. So I called LA Fitness, Escondido and advise I wanted to speak to someone in regards to my membership issue. The gal I spoke to was the Sales Manager Makenna, she was very rude and inconsiderate. She stated since I used the I want you back email it was my responsibly to read it before signing up. She stated the sales rep can help you out and get their commission, but it's out of there control after the signing up process. This is the Sales Manager speaking. I took it as an insult due to her sales rep helping me out. I told her I can read clearly and I know what I had and presented didn't state single club. She said she would have her Operation Manager give me a call back tomorrow since he was gone for the day. He did call me the next day Nick, he advise he's been informed of what was going on. He said unfortunately he couldn't help me. What he could do is waive the fee to change my club access and I would have to pay $49.99 a month. I then asked if their was anything he could do to help he then stated he new and only been working that position for 2 weeks now. He then put me on hold and said he would ask someone else, and then he resumed back to the call stated that's all they can do. The customer service provided at this location is very unprofessional, I don't understand why corporate would allow to let there business be managed by unprofessional individuals. This location requires better management and supervision, you have employees that don't care how they represent your company values. The customer received was very unpleasant. I will be contacting corporate and filing a complaint.

Could use a little more floor room and equipment for free-weights/cables. These are frequently in much higher demand than the rest of the equipment and even at non-peak hours you might go home without a chance at the equipment you wanted to use. Decent gym otherwise--equipment is maintained and custodial staff keep the place clean. No complaints about staff. One more star off for no dividers between urinals. Cumon guys--this ain't the sixties.

needs a wayyyy bigger weight lifting area :/ for $50 a month id expect to be able to lift on busy days with more than 3 seats and 5 sq feet between them to work with. There’s not enough machines to compensate how many people are there, i find myself waiting way too long for machine lines to open up bc if you ask someone if they’re almost done with their set they’re like “yeah but someone’s waiting behind me” so you end up waiting 40mins just to get on a machine, when i went to 24hr Fitness every machine had 5 counterparts to accommodate everyone and even those got filled up, 2-4 non-cardio machines doesn’t cut it. also the basketballs are almost never properly filled and they’re just strewn across the court. insane price for mediocre place. i also had a meeting with a personal trainer who’s rates were $240 a month with a $320 sign on fee. $240 a month to meet with someone once a week is insane. that’s $60 a session that doesn’t even fill the hour. i don’t know if that’s a normal rate however the “test run” i got was showing me four different exercises i already knew and telling me things like “cardio doesn’t work to lose weight” which is completely untrue because i’m an ex endurance runner, the only thing it could hinder is maybe if you’re weight training to build muscle because you’ll need a lot more protein to compensate. it’s also dangerously humid in there, in most gyms i’ve been to it’s always a little cold to counteract the workout you’re about to do. once i get a car i’m going to be switching gyms again because this is ridiculous. there’s also no towel rule and no communal wipes so people just get up and leave their sweat there. it’s gross.

I usually work out at Mission Valley unit because I live in the area, and it is pretty much newer-all equipments as well. But I’m working in Escondido, and thought that working out there would help me to avoid 163 traffic.
Unfortunately, got very disappointed.
Escondido unit has only 2 squat racks, and today I had to wait over 15 minutes to use it.
No much weights variation.
The stretching area is too small, and you can’t use the big room when classes are going on.
Stairs machine are only 3, and if someone is waiting you’ll feel bad to do like 30/40 min, but treadmill are 17. Why this?????
People there are very friendly-clients and employees. But I felt like I was at home because they look like cousins hanging out. Please, if you’re going to the gym, don’t hang out!!! Go to work out!!! Consider other people who has to wake up early next day, and is waiting for you to finish your conversation!

This place is a complete dump. Customer service is the WORST I've ever seen! Emily at the front desk needs to be fired immediately. Rolling her eyes and raising her voice at gym members. Absolutely unacceptable!
I've been a member since 2017 and I'm canceling my membership because of this.

Poor customer service, free online passes are not valid, until you sit with a salesman, when one is not available you must sit and wait. smells like a boys locker room, small amount of equipment, people sit on machines on their phone for 20 minutes, no rules, no etiquette of conduct, which are supposed to be set and monitor by the club. I'd go here if I was desperate in an emergency situation.

Hadn't been to the gym since COVID but after getting 5 total shots with boosters... Thought it was time to get this belly in shape.
Gym is clean and the machines are in working order.
Morning and evening are the most crowded...

Great gym. Staff is awesome, only issue trainers keep coming and going. I’m on my 3rd trainer not by choice. But all were pretty smooth transition. People that go there are awesome and represent Escondido very well. Locker room small but still a great gym I. The community.

I had a horrible experience with Ryan Glaheen. He was rude and condescending in his tone. Has very poor customer service skills. Didn’t bother to intrude himself or explain the membership trial process. I already had a guest pass I completed online. When he came over to us and didn’t bother to explain who he was and what we are going to talk about. He was asking me creepy questions like “do you live alone?”. “Where do you work, live?”. Why would that be relevant question for a gym trial. Either though I live 10 min from this gym would rather drive 25 to fitness 19. Great experience and customer service there.

Went there today for the first time and I found that trainer Kellen was spot on regarding what I needed to do to strengthen my lower back and improve my core. If you are interested in a trainer that will help/work with you, ask for Kellen , you won't regret it 🤗

Excellent place in the neighborhood for a workout after tiring day at work. Very professionally managed, and all co-gymers and trainers are very nice to us. The gym has all necessary equipments that meets fitness needs of all age groups. I have my 4 year son use the kids play area, and personally all the trainers attending to these kids are doing a fantastic work everyday. Must appreciate their patience and willingness to manage the kids, all while ensuring their safety.

*EDIT* May 2022
It pains me to have to update on a negative note as there have been recent activities that have led me to to quit LA Fitness. I must be clear... this has NOTHING to do with the personal training that I have received for nearly a year, my trainer has been phenomenal! This is from the broken and inept system LA Fitness has for their payments and their customer service.

Long story short- BEWARE of any long term membership and training contracts with auto billing.
I had to cancel my credit card on file for my membership billing and after 7 attempts in person to pay on a different card (their credit machines weren't working multiple times) and one of the visits put $800 my credit cards (they had me keep swiping even tried 2 different cards).
After a week and several calls to my banks I finally got it all cleared up, meanwhile a staff member from a different location called nearly daily trying to collect and was extremely unprofessional. If you're confused reading this, so was I experiencing it! Their staff promised several times management would call to assist me with what was going on and I mentioned after all this I want to cancel my membership as I'm exhausted from all of it (and embarrased after being barred from the facility and my training sessions). No one ever called to help and all other staff I spoke with played dumb and suddenly nobody was able to help me cancel or they would explain that nobody wants to help me because they don't want anyone cancelling. So they think making someone upset because they can't cancel with will make them happy and not cancel?
I know I'm only one person but please reconsider signing any contracts or committing with LA Fitness long term.

This LA Fitness is one of the better locations as they have clean equipment, equipment is tidy and put away often and the staff is friendly. If you're looking for a personal trainer or not sure if it's worth it, go see Devin he is phenomenal! He's very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and his passion for training gets me motivated every time! Since working with Devin I have seen tons of personal gains and I will stick with him at this location as long as he's there 🙌🏼

Health theft. Community slander. Lible of contract. Ligula Amazon locker on site, holds diverted items from stored debit accounts. Heavy criminal and law enforcement presence. Auctions of sports memorabilia with members attached. Cdc trafficking in persons. Broken promises. Promised threats. Pervasive recording devices on gym floor and in locker room. Contract abductions and murders have likely occured. Antagonistic behavior of various members. People hunt here. Parking lot canvassed for valuables and targets of opportunity.

Tried to come check out the gym. The sales rep offered a 3 day free trial. When I came in to use it they said I can’t use a guest pass and hassled me about it. Saying I was already a member which wasn’t true.

Devin Sharp

I’ve been delighted to train with Devin since the summer of 2021. Devin really knows the details of exercise mechanics, anatomy and muscle-tissue response. Since I have certain muscles and joints that are vulnerable, I appreciate his always factoring that into the routines and making adjustments when needed. It evident he’s worked with a wide range of people with varying conditions and goals. I’ve experienced steady improvement thanks to Devin’s personal interest and very pleasant “machine-side” manner.

Clean well run gym. Plenty of equipment and great classes. Everyone is very friendly and outgoing! I joined this gym to get healthy and prepare for a full knee replacement. My Personal Trainer, Devin Sharp, is absolutely wonderful. He is always very conscientious of any limitations I have with my knee but constantly pushes me to become stronger. He truly cares about helping people get fit. I highly recommend Devin no matter your age or fitness level! You won't be sorry!

Older but nice location. Staff is friendly and they keep the place up. Like all the LA Fitness (incl Esporta's) they close early on weekends. Five pm is just too early to close, you have to plan your day around the gym if you want to go on a weekend. Otherwise, a five-star gym.

I’ve been going to LA fitness Escondido for over two years (break during lockdown). I love this gym. The staff are friendly and helpful, the gym is spotlessly clean thanks to the cleaning crew and I have a great trainer, Devin Sharp.

I’ve been working with Devin for over four months. He has helped me and inspired me to work hard . He is helping me go from pandemic flabby to growing muscle and burning fat.

Devin is very knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. I have worked with other trainers in the past, but Devin is the first one that really listened to me about what I want to do in the gym and accomplish. If you are looking for a trainer, I highly recommend Devin Sharp.

It feels good to come to a gym that is clean, the housekeeping is doing a great job cleaning the lockers when empty, wiping mats/machines on and off during the hours, floor is always clean. I plan to give them a personal appreciation next time, thank you 👍

Absolutely love this place so far. I’m not a fitness expert but I recently upgraded gyms and wanted to further my fitness journey. I lost around 70 pounds and needed an upgrade from weight loss to genuine training and this place has so much equipment to do that with great quality ones at that in my experience. Employees are awesome and really really nice chill people, Ryan signed me up and helped me get an understanding of the gym. The place is very clean and very spacious! Amenities are great too! This place is awesome priced and amazing equipment.

If you’re considering this place I highly recommend it.
