I have been coming to this gym for a few months now and I recently noticed the change in employees. I am so disappointed in the level of disrespect with a particular employee there “Kimberly”. The AC has not been working for a while now so I questioned her and she was so rude and dismissive! She stated “it will be taken care of”. I then asked to speak to the manager and she replied by saying she was the manager. If she is rude to members I can only imagine the disrespect towards her coworkers! She has made it very uncomfortable for me to enjoy a workout there. SMH

One of the worst LA fitness. Half of the cardio machines are broken for weeks. No signs on them. The carpet on this gym is FILTHY it smells dirty in here.

Cmon it’s such an inconvenience to go to another gym 30 minutes just for better services.

I really enjoy coming to this LA Fitness. I usually go in the mornings, and it’s such a great time because it’s not crowded at all. The gym is always clean, the equipment is in good condition, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The staff here are always friendly, approachable, and willing to help if you need anything.

A special mention goes to my trainer, Isaac Boes. He is by far the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and motivating. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, customizes workouts to fit my goals, and makes sure I stay on track. Training with him has made a big difference in my fitness journey.

Overall, this location has everything I need, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a positive and supportive gym experience.

I started getting personal training sessions at LA Fitness with Isaac Boes, and am so glad I did. I've learned so much over the past month about proper nutrition, weight lifting techniques, and overall health. It's been one of the best investments I've made in a long time. Thank you Isaac and the LA Fitness for having such a great program! I'm feeling stronger and fitter than I've felt in a long time.

When “Service” Turns Into Threats!

Today I faced outrageous treatment from the club’s general manager, Carmel.

I came early to the group training room — before the class even started — to calmly finish my stretching. I was training quietly, in the corner by the door, disturbing no one, and was almost done.

As participants just began the group class, the manager approached me and declared that staying in the room was not allowed. I calmly replied that I would just need a couple of minutes to gather my things (mat, bands, etc.) and leave.

But instead of a normal, respectful response, I received threats and an ultimatum:
“Either you leave now, or I will cancel your membership.”

When I asked directly: “Are you really threatening a client?” — the manager repeated it again.

❌ What was the problem with allowing me two minutes to finish and to pack up?
❌ Why are there NO signs or rules posted on the door saying it’s not allowed to be in the room?
❌ How does the general manager have the right to talk to a paying member in such a rude, aggressive manner?

This is not just disrespect — it is a direct violation of service standards. Threatening to cancel a client’s membership instead of offering help is unacceptable.

📌 I demand that this behavior be reviewed by the club’s leadership.
📌 Manager must be held accountable for her words and actions.
📌 Clients should be protected from aggression and threats coming from staff — especially those in leadership positions.

Clients are not enemies! We pay for memberships and come to the gym for health, energy, and positivity — not to endure humiliation and intimidation from management.

Such behavior is a disgrace to the club and a black mark on its reputation.

Having been to most LA fitness locations in Southern California I would give this place an overall one star but the fact that’s it’s only LA Fitness locations with my preferred Cybex leg press which allows for a more natural pressing motion is the reason I’m giving it two stars.

Parking is plentiful which is the biggest perk. The restrooms and sauna are a bit dated and it has one of the smallest stretching areas I’ve ever seen.

Overall…. Meh :/ but go workout if needed. I did. After all the name of the game is consistency, so get out there and move.

Lastly, and more importantly, remember that each day is a blessing. Make the most of it, stop and pause, and remember to practice gratitude as you go throughout your day. Remember, whether it’s a great day or not, that choice is always yours. Stay blessed everyone!

The place itself isn’t that bad. the equipment is pretty old. i just wanted to complain about what’s being played on the screens. I’m not a huge political person but having fox news playing on multiple screens and all that is shown is insults, bigotry, racism and hatred. who wants to watch this while working out? there is not real news being shown, nothing that is of importance. only their hatred for brown people and calling everything communism. especially being in a liberal state i’m sure the majority of people don’t want to see this. regardless, fox has been sued many times for misinformation. i would recommend changing the channel to something that is neutral. of course i can choose not to watch it but it is basically in my face. i just don’t think this is the environment to spread propaganda. the pictures i attached are only two of the many titles that were shown.

I went to the gym to try their 3-day trial. The salesperson, Greg, told me that I had to register online at least 48 hours in advance. That’s fair. Since I wanted to take a class that day, I asked if they offered a one-day pass, but he said they didn’t.
Greg really pressured me to sign up for a membership, even though I clearly told him, “No thank you, I’m not interested.” He kept saying, “I don’t get it,” multiple times, which made me feel uncomfortable.

Later, my husband called the gym and found out that they do offer a one-day pass. So basically, Greg lied to me just to boost his sales performance.

I’ve moved from a soft body to rigid and many of my friends and family notice.. I came in nine months ago with a spinal injury after a rear end collision and could not lift my right foot. (drop foot) I now walk normally and have strengthened my entire body from top to bottom. Fitness is the norm now in my lifestyle. Thanks Dylan and the entire helpful staff at LA fitness. 💪🏼. Reed.

I have lost approximately 40 pounds since the time I started working with him. Most importantly, he helped me develop a passion for this type of fitness and I foresee this being long-term benefit.

I have been a long time member of LA Fitness and have been signed up for personal training for a while. For around the past year my trainer has been Dylan. He is the best trainer I have had. He really listens to what my goals are and creates workouts that help achieve them. In the past I have felt like my trainers just make the workout plans and then tell you to do them, but Dylan helps you learn about what you are doing. He has taught me what the workouts do and what muscles they should be working. Something I was always missing with other trainers was feeling like I was learning how to workout on my own. Without asking, Dylan would have exercises I could continue doing on my own after our session ended. Having those extra 15 mins working out on my own helped me feel more confident being alone at the gym. I can’t recommend Dylan enough!

One-Star Review - Misleading Contract Terms for Personal Training.

This one-star review is based solely on the misleading nature of the personal training contract at LA Fitness.

I want to share my experience with LA Fitness’ personal training program to help others fully understand the terms of the contract. My total contract cost was $1,229 (which was not disclosed as a full commitment) with an initial payment of $244 (which included a registration fee) and a monthly payment of $197. What I wasn’t clearly told is that this is a total cost contract, and the only way to cancel is by paying 50% of the remaining balance.

In my case, I signed up for four classes per month at $197, which seemed reasonable at first. However, when I tried to cancel due to challenges with my schedule (despite my trainer doing their best to accommodate me), I was told I still owed over $700 for the remaining contract. To cancel, I needed to pay half of the remaining balance, which came to over $300. This was extremely frustrating, as I was told at the time of signing that I could cancel anytime. Additionally, the total cost of the contract was never clearly disclosed upfront—only the $197 monthly payment was emphasized.

I want to stress that my dissatisfaction is not with the trainer. My trainer has been excellent—knowledgeable, professional, and someone I truly enjoy working with. My decision to cancel was purely due to difficulties working around my schedule, not the quality of the training.

However, I feel it’s unfair and misleading that the cancellation policy and total contract commitment were not properly explained. I relied on the information provided by the staff, but it did not reflect what was in the contract.

Yes, I take responsibility for not reading the contract carefully. That was my mistake. However, as a loyal LA Fitness customer for many years, I trusted the process and expected transparency.

If this type of commitment and pricing structure works for you, great! But if you’re unsure, I strongly encourage you to read the contract in full before signing. Don’t rely solely on what the salesperson tells you, as it may not align with the actual terms.

This is my honest review to help others make an informed decision about the personal training program at LA Fitness. Make sure you understand exactly what you’re committing to so there are no surprises.

Local deceptive practices with no follow up after taking my money.

People make mistakes, myself included. Sometimes it is management or some other pressure that sways bad decisions. Only posting this after having given the sales rep opportunities to make things right.

I got hoodwinked in October, walked in for a short exercise and the sales guy caught me at the front walking in pushing me to bundle my and my son's memberships to save money monthly and add my daughter. I had no interest to do so, did not even ask for this, just wanted to workout, but he was fully persistent and got me to consider.

After seeing the financial breakdown, it did not make sense because I had to repay new initiations and more annual fees after I had just re-upped and paid annual fees on our current memberships, plus just paid our new monthly the prior day and losing out on the last month off each without a credit. I will spare you the full story of the sneaky and deceitful nature of the manager jumping into the convo to say "I am not even allowed to do this and never have done this before" by offering to waive one of the three annual memberships for life whereas the sales guy had literally already offered that to me as their current promotion.

I walked out saying, no thank you. The sales guy phoned me a few times during dinner, then texted to tell me his manager could help compensate me with getting the other two annuals covered. After phoning him back, he switched it by saying, actually you would need to pay those annuals, but my manager will give you all a 60 day temp pass, so we would pause your membership after the first month, and you could use the temp pass to offset the annuals.

I was so tired of this and just wanted it to end, felt like easier to just say yes and be done. He did everything over the phone with me and signed for my membership on my behalf. He obviously was then supposed to have cancelled my current memberships to not pay double.

I reached back in 30 days on November 15 as you can see in the text, and he said he was going to square it away. He never did. Holidays and work are busy and I just assumed he would get things done. I texted back, no reply. Then again texted back on Friday December 27 with a date of Monday to take care of it. Again, no reply. I then received an email on Monday that my original membership was just cancelled. I went to a different club to find out what happened, evidently he got my text because there is a note right after I texted him to put in for the cancellation. Still never bothered to message or phone me.

I find out that he never cancelled me or my son's memberships in October, was paying for duplicate memberships for two months. Funny thing, he still never cancelled my son's.

Days later, he still has not got back to me.

I spoke with Corporate Customer Support. The gal was lovely and showed much empathy with the situation. She did refund the two erroneous duplicate memberships for the two months, and helped me with the original promised two free months.

My review is based on weekday mornings from 5am to about 6:30am. Before the holiday season it’s just a normal wave of morning regulars and never really busy. The weekends I’ve gone around 12pm and usually not busy during that time either.

I give it a 4 star rating for the equipment options and until recently they got new yoga mats for the workout studio and hopefully they last a while. The one reason I’m not giving it a full 5 is because the men’s restroom could use an upgrade at least in terms of cleanliness. I only wash my hands after my workout session is done.

Overall the people keep to themselves and the cleaning staff and opening person are friendly.

People do everything they can to get you to sign up for a membership. They offer benefits but don’t make things clear enough! I signed up with a friend, and we wanted a membership together—something like a family membership. They mentioned the advantage of always being able to bring two guests, but we weren’t interested in that. After my friend signed up, I found out I wasn’t included in the plan. The price they gave us made me think we’d be splitting the cost, especially since the individual monthly price on the gym’s website is $39.99. My friend is paying a higher price, so I assumed that was the cost of a family plan.

Instead, I discovered I would just be considered my friend’s guest, which would mean I’d have to go to the gym with her every time—completely unfeasible! When I explained that we’re not Siamese twins and have different schedules, the only solution they offered was a picture of a QR code that would supposedly work for me at this unit. After two months, the code expired, and no one could do anything to help me. Frustrating!

Just walked in and met with Greg. He was very friendly and professional. Showed me around the gym and mentioned a 3 day trial pass. I took advantage and worked on cardio equipment and then weights. They have more than enough equipment to choose from and I never had to wait for anything. Greg is a big reason I will be returning, be sure to ask for him.

Great atmosphere, family friendly. The machines are always up and running, if down they aren’t down for long. I appreciate the current staff for their kindness and for always keeping the place ready for use. The janitors do a great job at keeping up with cleanliness.

Joined this gym because of the Sauna they have but have had continuous issues with it. The employees should turn it on BEFORE the gym opens, not AFTER. I have come in on the weekends when they open at 8am (thats another problem with this gym) and you would expect the Sauna to fired up. It never is!! Someone please think about customers and have the sauna heated and ready to go.

Went in for my 3 day trial and was helped by Greg. He was very professional and helpful around the gym. The gym employees were very friendly. Sauna was clean and satisfying. Locker rooms are well cleaned. I would recommend this gym. If you go in, ask for Greg.

I was told I get a guest pass when signing up but apparently it was never apart of the membership. When I was cancelling my membership the guy at the front told me “the guy must’ve lied to you”. Says a lot about the work ethic and the employees there. So someone lied to me about the membership and you’re not concerned at all? Honestly the worst LA fitness I’ve been to. The locker rooms and bathrooms are also very unsanitary. I don’t recommend this location at all.

LA Fitness is a great place to work out. The facility is very nice with sufficient training devices to work on and it has many free training classes to take. Especially, Steven is an excellent physical trainer who is very professional and very knowledgeable in understanding what people specific exercise needs. I have learned a lot from him and have seen my physical improvements after receiving his instructions. Thanks!!!

signed up for a membership this week thanks to the help of hector and leo. i was very unsure of walking into the gym for the first time in a couple years but hector and leo guided me through every step of the process and gave me helpful advice in helping me create a workout split. 10/10 recommend this facility and the staff are very friendly!

1 star. Significant improvements needed. The locker rooms, showers, and toilets were in an unsanitary condition, making them unusable. The equipment appears outdated and the bench surfaces require attention. I strongly advise management to address these hygiene and maintenance issues to provide a better experience for members.

Been going here over a year now. I do enjoy it but it's just so damn messy and the staff is so unfriendly. The locker rooms and floors are clean thanks to an awesome custodial team who I love talking too but as for the front of house and Sales team they just seem miserable.
Multiple times I've had to reorganize the steching area myself, even if staff has walked by mutilpe times and seen the mess. I don't expect the small custodial workes to re-rack and fix the weights, I'd imagen the trainers and staff walking the floor to do so.
Also this specific location constantly has issues with my account. I go to any other LA fitness and they fix it just for Kerny Masa to goof it up again. Poor management, it seems like their is new check in staff every month. I just want to workout and not feel like I work there!

This review is for the Director of personal Training Kellen, I just had the most disturbing call I have ever experienced in my life with this guy. I has recently signed up cause I was so close to this location and wanted to get back on track after going through Chemo treatments and having hormones removed and obviously your body works different after being through something so intense. they give you 3 options when you sign up as a "free" session to thank you for signing up, free hour of personal training, target heart rate calculation or a nutrition plan calculating your macros carbs proteins fats along with calorie intake depending on your goals. I chose the macro calculation as my body is way different that it was and needed to know those specific numbers to MY body so I can work withing those guidelines and start to see the results I need to fit into my health journey. He seemed to be more interested in getting me to sign up for personal training sessions, and when trying to be honest with him about what my goals were he kept cutting me off being rude and basically telling me to shut up and for me to seek professional medical nutrition guidance cause what I was looking for was not something he could provide (even though it was one of the options they provided). This guy seems to be very full of himself and does not deal well when people are not interested in using his services that wants people to use, If you are not interested in providing those services you should not offer them. Also being in the customer service industry myself that was even more appalling to have been spoken to and treated in that manner. This phone call happened after our first "appointment" he was a no call no show. I guess I should have stuck with my first impression and not have given this guy the breath out of my lungs. I really hope this was a one off situation and this guy does not treat all people this way because the way he made me feel and the way he spoke to me was UNACCEPTABLE!!! I hope he has a side gig where he makes millions of dollars cause treating people, clients this way isnt going to provide much success in this industry.

20 year member. For whatever reason corporate LA fitness continues to allow the Kearney Mesa LA fitness location to degrade/deteriorate beyond what should be acceptable as a thriving business. 15-20yr old smelly worn out/torn/ripped carpet, pool area always "closed for maintenance", weight lifting areas w/Equipment outdated and worn out and.. let's not talk about the dilapidated missing and or broken tile, unsanitary shower, Jacuzzi and dry sauna!! SMH. The 4S ranch club was built several years ago and has already been remodeled!! also, a new facility was built on friars Rd in mission valley!!! Yet management has no answers for the loyal, paying members that we are other than "Well who knows, I just work here. There's nobody to call" Really? What an embarrassment.

They will say anything to get you to join, including lie and false promises. Sepher let me know when I joined I could bring a guest for free every time I came and after I joined and once he got promoted, his tone changed and he “forgot” our conversation and pretended I misunderstood. I care about principle over everything and this alone makes me feel gross about this institution. Keep your word, don’t just be a salesperson trying to make a sale.

As an out of towner, I wanted to go on vacation and squeeze in a little workout. This gym was horribly maintained. Lockers were outdated, equipment was janky with plates to elevate benches, equipment wasn’t properly bolted to the floor. Very ran down. LA needs to come down and renovate and hold this location to higher standards. Will not be visiting this location ever again. Will go 13 minutes south to one that puts a little more effort into maintaining the equipment.

The manager Bentley is super friendly and helpful and knowledgeable and not pushy at all. He tells you what the deals are and then does not pressure you.

He is extremely courteous and well mannered, which is hard to come across these days.

The club is more or less what you would expect. I came for the pool. It’s too hot for me to lap swim, but most people would like it, so I’m not dinging them on a star.

This gym is seriously outdated. The locker rooms smell horrible and the carpet on the benches (yes carpet) is more stained than not.
The equipment looks like it was bought at a garage sale, 10 years ago. They should give out tetanus shots at the desk.
I’m surprised I didn’t see Richard Simmons in this place. But there were leg warmers and head bands spotted.
I’m surprised LA Fitness allows this gym to operate like this as it is a serious brand image set back. Then again, the front sign says “LA Fitness Sports club”
Skip this place and head 2 miles further down the road.

Don’t get me wrong, this gym is by no means bad (except for the price), but if you’re a competent lifter, you may be disappointed by their equipment. Although it’s not too crowded usually, they only have one or two squat racks, no real free weights area, no calisthenics/open floor area, everything is just machines. Sure you can fulfill all of your needs here, but it seems more of a gym that well off people who aren’t particularly serious about their exercise go. They do have great pool, basketball, and racquetball areas, but the lack of free space really inhibits your freedom
