I’ve been coming here for almost a month now and I haven’t had a better experience anywhere else. It’s always clean, gym equipment isn’t hogged going in the mornings and even though there’s still a lot of people, it never feels busy. Huge bonus that there is childcare here.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Gym With Life-Changing Results!

I’ve had an amazing experience at LA Fitness, and I can confidently say it has played a huge role in helping me shed a lot of weight and completely transform my lifestyle. The environment is welcoming, the equipment is always clean and well-maintained, and there’s a great mix of machines, free weights, and group classes to keep things fun and motivating.

The staff and trainers are incredibly supportive—they truly made me feel comfortable from day one. Little by little, workout by workout, I started seeing real results. Today, I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I owe a big part of that to this gym.

If you’re thinking about starting your fitness journey, don’t wait. Join LA Fitness, stay consistent, and trust the process. If I can do it, you absolutely can too. This place has everything you need to start your journey and stick with it.

Highly recommend! 💪✨

Looks nice on the outside but the member service is not only terrible but fraudulently suspicious. I was a member for 6 months with a $4,000 personal training contract plus monthly membership fees (yeah, that’s what personal training costs there). In July when my training contract was up, I canceled my membership in person, yet LA Fitness continued to bill me each month, withdrawing the fees directly from my bank account because that’s how they require to be paid (first red flag). When I realized LA Fitness continued to withdraw membership fees after I canceled, I called several times to speak to a manager about it because the person who answered the phone each time said they couldn’t help me. I was told every time that the manager was on a “conference call” and “unavailable.” After I told the person who answered my last call that I was going to come there in person, I was called by a manager named Brandy. She refused to listen to anything I had to say, and instead said that “the notes” on my account said I canceled my membership via email on Oct 23, which is completely false. I’ve never emailed LA Fitness, and I told her this. I thought this was simply a mistake until she said that this is how memberships are canceled (via email) and the notes said I did this. That’s when I realized that someone at LA Fitness potentially manipulated my account and/or entered false notes. When I asked her to pull up this supposed email I sent, she abruptly hung up on me. BEWARE.

I went in today for the free trial and they wasted about an hour of my time showing me the gym and trying to sell me a membership by the end of they're sales pitch i was absolutely exhausted from the pressure to join immediately that I just walked out This was worse than walking into a used car dealership. Obviously all this company cares about getting your money and making the employees work for commission. A scam club in my opinion. Go someplace else that actually cares about fitness health. Everyone in the gym looked overweight and out of shape too. Not to mention that the showers looked too filthy to even use. I'll personally never step foot back into a LA fitness. I urge everyone else do the same and support a local gym.

Decent facility but customer service reps are completely rude and condescending. I had a free three day pass which they would not let me use. They instead tried to hard sale me into a membership. I asked why the pass cannot be used and said I had been here one time in the past with my husband, wanted to try it out alone, but was refused. I was told to pay $20 to use the gym one time. Then he hurried me out and attempted to intimidate me. I had the intention of joining with my husband, but because of this we both will no longer be customers.

This gym has a bad reputation but thought I’d give it a chance, now I see what people are saying. Join another gym, there are plenty. Whoever was the manager on 10/16/25 needs leadership training bc he clearly doesn’t care about health, just his commission check.

If I can give less than 1 star, I would. My friend went in with a 3 day complimentary pass. Not only was she humiliated and hurt, but being a newlywed, she wanted to feel good about herself. She did not feel welcome and was told if she wanted to exercise, she would have an additional $20 charge. She knew she was being targeted but left this unfriendly environment. What happened to welcoming and encouraging employees instead of judgemental arrogant kids.

I really like this LA Fitness gym. It's open, airy, and clean!

There are plenty of macines and free weights. All of the equipment is kept up to date and in good working condition. Parking is plentiful. They just built several new spaces inside. It's really nice!

I've been doing PRT and Pilates for a month now. The PRT instructors, Andrew, Jake, and Steadman, are super knowledgeable and very motivating. They keep me coming back.

The Pilates instructors I've had so far, Katie, Mia, and Li, have been kind and helpful. The Pilates room is spacious and relaxing.

All of the staff are genuinely friendly.

This gym is failing its members, especially seniors who depend on the pool for health and exercise. The swimming pool is overcrowded due to nonstop classes, after they close Vista location for God knows why…….leaving little room for members who actually need it. Even worse, management allows very young children—some under two years old—into the pool, and accidents have already happened more than once. Just couple of days ago according to a swimmer, a child pooped in the pool, forcing it to close again. This is the second time in a short period, and it raises serious questions about health, safety, and sanitation standards.
For many seniors like myself, swimming is not just recreation—it is necessary therapy. Yet the management shows little care for senior members or for maintaining a safe and sanitary environment. When voiced concerns, other members and staff seemed indifferent.
I am extremely disappointed and concerned. The gym needs to take responsibility, enforce stricter pool rules, and prioritize health and safety over profit. Until they do, this is not a safe or reliable place for seniors or anyone who cares about proper standards.

This L.A. Fitness stands out as one of the best I've visited in a while. The gym is on one floor, making it easy to navigate, and it's well-equipped with everything you could need for a great workout.

The cardio area is impressive, with a huge selection of machines, all featuring personal entertainment systems. The strength training area is also fully stocked with a wide variety of weight machines and around six wooden squat racks.

Beyond the standard workout equipment, this location offers a lot more:

Amenities: A large functional training area, a pool, a spa, basketball and racquetball courts, and spacious rooms for cycle and other classes.

Locker Rooms: They are clean, roomy, and include a sauna (note: no steam room). Remember to bring your own lock!

Additional Services: For an extra fee, you can get personal training and access to classes like Pilates.

Overall, it’s a clean, spacious, and comprehensive gym that I'll definitely be using more often.

I am writing to express my serious concern about the pool conditions at your club. Yesterday evening, as on many other days, the pool was occupied by a kids’ swim class. Most of the children appear to be under two years old. Shortly after, all members were asked to leave the pool because a child had an accident in the water. This is the second time I have personally experienced this, and it is extremely unpleasant and unsanitary.

I do not understand why children who are clearly too young to control their bathroom needs are allowed to participate in these classes in a public pool. In addition, I have noticed that:

Parents walk in the pool area with outside shoes.

Children are not showered before entering the pool.

Basic hygiene rules are not enforced.

As a paying member, I expect a clean and safe environment. Instead, the pool is frequently unavailable due to children’s classes, and when it is open, the hygiene standards are not properly maintained. When I raised my concern with a staff member, I was told it “doesn’t matter,” which made me feel that my complaint was not taken seriously.

I strongly urge LA Fitness to reconsider its policies regarding very young children in the pool and to improve enforcement of hygiene rules for the safety and comfort of all members.”

I can’t say enough good things about this gym! The Pilates classes with Victoria and Montana are phenomenal—they each offer modifications and challenges that suit every fitness level, so whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, you’ll leave feeling stronger and more confident. Their energy and attention to form make every session both fun and effective.

A special shout‑out to the daycare team: my three‑year‑old absolutely adores coming here. They remember her by name, have fun activities set up, and keep a watchful eye so I can focus on my workout. It’s such a relief knowing she’s happy and safe in their care!and Alyssa is my favorite so sweet and my daughter loves her! She’s so fun and is always playing and reading with the kids!

Beyond the instructors and childcare, the entire facility is spotless. The bathrooms and showers are always fully stocked and sparkling clean, thanks to a dedicated attendant. The sauna is pristine, the floors gleam, and all the equipment is well‑maintained. It’s a truly family‑friendly gym that makes working out a joy. Highly recommend!

Disappointing First Impression

My wife and I were looking for a new gym in the area and wanted to give LA Fitness in Oceanside a try. We signed up online for their advertised 3 day free pass just like we had done at another gym the week before. When we showed up, we were immediately told we couldn’t use the pass because we didn’t have a local ID. We explained that we’re trying out gyms in the area before deciding which one to commit to long term.

Instead of welcoming us in and letting us experience the facility, the staff member first tried to charge us for a day pass and then quickly moved into trying to sell us a membership. There was no genuine effort to let us actually try the gym. It felt more like walking into a sales pitch than a place focused on fitness.

It’s a shame that a gym with such a big name would turn away two serious potential members over something so minor. Definitely not the experience we expected. We’ll be looking elsewhere.

I used to come here a lot with a buddy of mine, but I’ve been out of state for a bit due to training. I was given a 1-month pass a long while ago, and I didn’t know if it was still valid so I came in to check, and was told it was no longer valid, but one of the Sales representatives (I didn’t have a chance to get his name, sorry) still hooked me up with a pass, which I appreciate. Very quick, very simple, will continue with LA Fitness in the future.

Since they replaced towels and disinfectant spray with pre-moistened "dryer sheets" (which don't clean anything) the whole place is scummy. They've cut back on maintenance staff too, so not only are members not cleaning up after themselves but there's less staff to pick up the slack.

Misleading Sales, Dishonest Billing & Zero Accountability at LA Fitness Oceanside

I initially chose LA Fitness Oceanside because their website advertised personal training. When I enrolled, I made it crystal clear that I was signing up for that specific service. I was assured they had personal trainers, but in reality, they only offered group training—something I was never told upfront.

At the same time, they aggressively pushed their new Pilates program, which hadn’t started yet. I was told that if I signed up immediately, I’d lock in a special $99/month rate before prices increased. They know exactly how to pressure customers into signing up for things they don’t need, and I fell for it.

The Bait-and-Switch on Personal Training

When I called to book my personal trainer, I was blindsided. They informed me that their so-called “personal training” was actually group coaching following a preset methodology.

This is NOT personal training—it’s a group workout that doesn’t provide individualized support.

I tried it once—it was ineffective for my needs. Without real personal training, I had no guidance on how to get started—so I stopped going altogether.

Billing Issues & Their “Account on Hold” Trick

Later, I had a small accident and was advised to avoid exercise for a while. Their website offered a “Put Your ACCOUNT on Hold” option, implying it covered all charges. Nowhere did it mention that Pilates would continue being billed separately.

The next month, I was charged $99 for Pilates—despite my account being on hold!

Attempting to Resolve the Issue – More Lies & No Follow-Through

I immediately called LA Fitness Oceanside. A staff member informed me that Pilates was separate and hadn’t been paused.

I explained what had happened and specifically requested that my Pilates be put on hold right then and there.

I also requested a refund, since I had followed their instructions and believed my account was fully on hold.

He told me he would “take care of it” and call me back.
He never did.

Life got busy, and since I had already requested the pause, I assumed it was handled. I was OK with losing the $99 at this point.

Discovering the Fraudulent Charges Months Later

Fast forward six months. While preparing my finances for tax season, I discovered that LA Fitness had continued charging me $99/month for Pilates—every single month.

This time, I went in person. I was told:
• There was no proof I had ever called (my phone records showed I did)
• They claimed they had done nothing wrong—and that I had no proof otherwise.
• They would not refund me for any of it.

At that point, I called LA Fitness corporate customer service. Their initial response? There’s nothing that can be done.

Final Resolution – A Partial Refund & Getting Out for Good

I pushed back and wouldn’t take no for an answer. After speaking with a supervisor, they offered me three months of refunds—less than half of what they owed me.

At this point, I just wanted out. As soon as the refund hit my account, I canceled everything.

The Bottom Line

LA Fitness Oceanside is all about sales, not service.
They mislead customers, make cancellations deliberately difficult, and refuse to take accountability for their mistakes.

Their “personal training” is a scam, their billing practices are deceptive, and their customer service is non-existent and designed to wear you down until you give up.

I will never set foot in an LA Fitness again.

If you care about honesty and fair business practices, avoid LA Fitness at all costs.

This gym used to be a 5/5, but it has gone downhill over the past year. They’ve admitted far too many members, and now it’s crowded at all hours. Additionally, the atmosphere has changed, with most members not respecting the space - it’s dirty and the atmosphere is no longer welcoming... It’s now common to wait 10 minutes to use a machine or free weights. They really need to start limiting new memberships. I’m canceling mine as I write this review.

Current management is the worst I have ever encountered. Rude to customers and sets unreasonable policies while being disorganized themselves (poor communication among staff, awkwardly/rudely putting customers in the middle). Paid for this gym membership even through pandemic lockdowns because I felt bad for them but am now finding a new gym after several years because of all the bad vibes. Class teachers are mostly good though management should train them on how to use the sound system responsibly. My phone app and Apple watch frequently clocked sound at 90+ decibels (which is enough to cause hearing damage). Maybe this place will be better if they find new management.

It is labor day at 6:30pm and the male on duty was unable to represent the club in any way possible to a new member. I will be canceling immediately tomorrow morning. They were to busy to take care of me by answering the phone.

I was a member at this club over 6 years ago. At that time I changed clubs because the competitor had better amenities; however, I heard this La Fitness made some changes to their club and wanted to check it out again to consider joining again. Sadly, the GM JORDAN, refused to give me a simply one day guest pass to try the club out after 6 years of not stepping foot in the club. Her reasoning is I was a member in the past but the club has had many upgrades since then and nobody should join a gym without first working out there. Why didn’t Jordan give me a guest pass. I hope LA Fitness sticks to this policy and NEVER gives any guest passes to any former members even if 5 or 10 years ago. If LA fitness does they will show different treatment and that wouldn’t be fair nor right. Filing a complaint with the local San Diego BBB just so this is a matter of record of the bad treatment. Terrible customer service, Jordan. Do better! You lost a possible lifetime customer because you didn’t let me workout one day as I WAS considering changing gyms.

I have coming to this LA Fitness for the past 3 years. It is big, it has alot of machines. I am not here in the late morning but early morning I'm in and out. My only gripe would be

1. Bathrooms get cleaned in the morning vice in the evening after being closed. Quite dirty in the morning. So does sauna putting it out of use for the early risers. (Cleaning crew is excellent though)

2. Wifi has been down for more than one month.

3. Protein shake bar is hit or miss on when it's open but this is not related to LA Fitness. Please relay message.

Would give a zero on there shake bar. I came and asked the guy what time they close. He told me 5 so I came at 435 and he tells me he put the ingredients out . I asked what does that mean? He says well I put them up . I reply with so you actually close 30 minutes early and you could have told me that when I asked you and his response was well we have protein shakes and energy drinks for sale in the fridge👎👎👎

I have strong questions about the cleanliness of this gym. I have never been a part of gym that did not have paper towels and spray to wipe down after you use each machine. Sanitation and also w rampant Covid and the flu right now it does not make sense to me. I’d hope to see this issue resolved so I don’t change gyms. Cleanliness should really be a priority.

Worst gym I’ve ever been to. I’ve been working out for many years and have been to many gyms all over the US. This is hands down the worst. Pros and cons below

Pros
- None

Cons
- Locker rooms are NOT clean.
- Equipment is extremely outdated and very worn down.
- Equipment handles are either ripped, scrunched up, orpoorly replaced.
- Rust on dumbbells.
- Rubber coated plates are all chipped.
- All clips are worn down and on the verge of breaking.
- Dirty equipment
- Mismatched dumbbell sets
- Treadmills are outdated and slip while using which can result in serious injury.
- Cheap beaten up Coleman cooler or plastic storage bin on ground to hold different grips for cable machine
- Weights everywhere. People workout and just leave things all over the place.
-No staff, I was there for an hour and I only saw the front desk employee, who was sitting on his phone with his AirPods in, couldn’t care less who walked into the gym.
- Lots of shoeless people. I understand some people don’t wear shoes when squatting but there were people not wearing shoes on treadmills, stair masters, and on upper body machines.
- Not cheap for the poor quality. It’s $79 yearly enrollment fee plus $49/mo.

LIMITED hours of operation. It’s Sunday, and I see on the web that I have to wait until 0800 for my swim workout. Saturday is the same, too. Weekdays the place opens at 0500. EXPAND the hours of operation from 0400 to midnight daily. Positive notes include a relatively clean, spacious facility and well-maintained 5-lane pool (compared to another local gym). Very open concept. Can’t say that about the schedule.

I decided to elevate my rating from my initial 2 stars to 4 stars. Despite the limited hours of operation, this is a very well-maintained facility. For example, the pool is professionally cleaned 3 times a week by a pool service company.

I attended a Aqua Aerobics class on Thursday night and it was a lot of fun and the instructor (Laura) had us really moving. According to my watch I worked off about 420 calories and I was very sore the next day. I don’t understand why they only have morning classes on Wednesday Saturday and no classes on Monday, Friday and Sunday. I don’t think it’s fair to the members.

One problem I really have with this place is some of the members sweat profusely and they don’t wipe the equipment down after they’re done with it. 🤢🤮
There’s one member that Carrie’s a big black duffel bag with him and he has a couple of black towels draped over equipment to hold it for him while he works out on another machine. The towels are drenched with sweat and of course he doesn’t wipe them down.
This an update. When I went here the other day I noticed that a tricep machine had the same blood on it that’s been there for months. Then the Stair master was filthy, I also noticed in the women’s locker rooms that the inside of the stall door was dirty and so were the walls. Someone needs to walk around this place and do inspections and also monitor what the members are not doing, like wiping their sweat off of machines. I’m getting really disgusted with this place. The staff and GM needs to get up from their desks and make rounds, it’s called good customer service.

Update 1024/23 - This place has gone way down, hardly any sinks work in the ladies locker room, the restroom area has smelled like dead fish for over a month now. Another member complained to me and said she has reported it numerous times and nothing has changed.
I don’t know if they changed GM’s because I haven’t seen Ms. personality there in months. I still have not seen one manager of staff member walk through the place to see if members are ok or need any help.
Horrible, horrible place, I would go to Vista but that’s all kids now.

Andrew D. has been probably the best trainer I've has since joining LA Fitness 3 yrs ago. He has great qualifications - NASM certifed with a focus on functional fitness (where you'll perform full body, compound movements) but also does strength training if that's what you're looking for! He really pushes me, gives me great feedback on proper form esp in a progressive manner as he sees me advancing my own ability and skills. Drew also leads bootcamp and does a great job motivating a large group of folks through a 45- min group session while giving spot coaching for those that need it. Jason the director of training has really turned the personally training here around, after being here at the Oceanside location for the last 2 years and cycling through several trainers, there is consistency, all the trainers and staff are friendly and supportive! Shout out to Young another great trainer at this location!

On a separate note I've probably been to 3-4 other LA fitnesses in the SoCal area, Oceanside is probably the cleanest, largest with the most equipment and well maintained of these of those that I've been to. I'm looking forward to all the additional updates coming to this location and continuing personal training - summer bod 2024 coming soon haha!!

This place use to be clean with great staff sadly that's not the case anymore. Bathroom is dirty would not recommend to shower or use the rest room. Staff/sales managers are scammers. After realizing that the gym was not clean I decided to cancel my membership and was told that I can't cancel my membership unless there is a manager on site. I came again and was told the same thing, I tried emailing but didn't get a response till after 2 weeks because they wanted me to pay for another month.

UPDATE 08/05/2023: IF YOU DO GET A MEMBERSHIP JUST KNOW YOU CAN'T CANCEL ON THE WEEK YOU CAN ONLY CANCEL MONDAY-FRIDAY WE WILL BE CANCELING 2 ADULT MEMBERSHIPS AND 2 KIDS MEMBERSHIPS. THE REASON IS BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN NUMBEROUS TIMES WHERE WE ARE DENIED CHILD WATCH BECAUSE THEY ARE."TO FULL." WHAT? IMAGINE SHOWING UP TO A GYM AND STAFF MEMBERS TELLING YOU THAT YOU ARE ON A WAITING LIST AND UNTIL SOMEONE LEAVES, YOU CAN COME IN. AND THEY PUT ONLY 1 GIRL TO WATCH CHILDREN MOST OF THE TIME AND ARE NOT IN THE BEST MOOD MOOD MOST OF THE TIME

.

.

One star for false advertisement. I was told that if I gave them friends/family contact, they would get a week membership free on me! However. When they went to get their "free week trial," they weren't able to do so. The sales guy kept pushing and pushing for them to get a membership. People should not have to beg for what was promised. Very pushy customer service ! Get your membership online and save some time and don't give your friends and family info. They will just be pushed to get the membership with false advertisements and lies.

I do not like that they do not have consistent hours throughout the week. They close at 9 on Fridays like what? And 5 pm on weekends ?

Also, if you are here like me for the child care, please keep in mind they are only fully operated on monday-thursday. Fridays/saturday child watch ends at 12, and no child watch on Sunday

No soap in men's or women's bathroom. This is the third occasion, for DAYS there is no soap.

People using the restroom then working out without washing their hands, this spreads sickness.

Get new management, how hard is it to order soap for restrooms using lead time. Management on instagram liking photos instead of ordering supplies smh.

UPDATE:
Further sharing my recent interactions with staff.
Approached district manager with a formally filed complaint about one of her personal training sales managers. Asked if she would like to have a conversation about it, was dismissed and told it doesn’t affect their current position, when it does directly. I was offered PT sessions OUTSIDE of LA Fitness (and scammed out of the money) when it is a corporate rule that LA Fitness trainers are not allowed to train outside the facility. The trainer took my money and cancelled my sessions and did not refund me. Then decided to ignore my communication and continually lie to me that I would be refunded for MONTHS. I have still not been paid back. LA Fitness Oceanside has done nothing to look into the issue or reprimand this manager for breaching their own company policy.

This establishment is complacent in continuing to employ someone in a managerial position who has scammed myself out of hundreds and others out of thousands of dollars for unfulfilled training sessions and “borrowed money” that has never been paid back. I’ve tried to address my matter personally but the individual resorts to ghosting all communication, causing me to enforce further legal action at the facility/place of employment. Not only has the individual broken LA Fitness corporate rules of offering training outside of LA Fitness contract, but they are a direct representation of this specific organization. I just want people to be aware of this if they’re considering signing up at LA Fitness Oceanside. Because god forbid others be scammed like the rest of us.

Go to a smaller gym with better client relationships. Customer service is terrible, I left messages to get anyone to call me back, but I heard nothing. And when I finally did get a call, it was more than a week later to inform me my billing failed. My card had been stolen, so it was canceled. Employees all had conflicting information on what was or wasn't allowed, from corporate to management to front desk. LA Fitness is the Walmart of gyms. Spend your money elsewhere 🤷‍♀️

Too noisy: music piped in overhead on the workout floor, at the same time loud music form Zumba class - gave me a headache. In the locker room, piped in music again, with a tv always on (with sound) - on a game of some sort-baseball, football, soccer, whatever.

Extremely Poor customer service. I have been a member of LA fitness in Oceanside for 18months. My membership expired and a week later I paid upfront again for another year at a non-discounted rate to which I would have received if I’d renewed before my membership expired.
Once paying for the non-discounted membership again my circumstances changed and I asked to cancel the membership within 24hrs of paying for it. I was given the run around for weeks with no replies to my emails or phone calls to eventually be told that they cannot cancel it. The customer service is extremely poor and non existent once you buy membership. I would recommend going to a less sales focused and more customer service based gym.

I DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS BUT THE NEW MANAGER IS NOT DOING HER JOB... I have been coming to this gym for more than 4 years, it had always been my favorite because it is always very very clean , at some time I was studying in San Marcos and for a matter of time I attended others LA gyms…Escondido , San Marcos, Vista…. and they all need a lot of cleaning, they are dirty., But now since the beginning of this year 2023 everything is worse, this gym here in Oceanside is very, very bad, it all started since they changed managers, the person who was there before, since I started attending this gym she had excellent control of this gym, I see she always walking around doing her job, seeing that everything worked well, now nobody supervises anything, now every day it is in a worse situation, it is always too dirty, the floor, the machines, one machine has not been repaired for months, and The bathrooms are disgusting, the doors are falling off, the curtains broken, the shampoo boxes without lids, no shampoo, the towel boxes are useless, the truth is, a new manager is needed., Sorry !!!!!

My favorite person is the gal that cleans the bathroom. Seriously, she is thorough, professional, pleasant, polite and just a super great asset to LA Fitness or anyone else that would want to hire her. She is worth her weight in gold. If I had a lucritive business, I'd find a way to hire her and I bet she excels at anything. I'd want her to be the manager of a team and teach them, lead them to be as consistent and professional as she is. No other LA Fitness (except Encinitas) is as clean as the one on vista way. I have no issues with the staff or the notorious general manager mentioned in other posts. Sucks that the pool sometimes closes for weeks, but i'd rather it be clean and functioning properly. This is a great gym. The changes are annoying but they are just trying to play with options to stay relavent and lucrative.
