WELL IF I WAS A SECRET SHOPPER*suggesting this gym to family &friends; 1-Ripped down 4 of the 6 showers curtains mens bathroom, replaced NO!!!..(going on" 2weeks"!) 2-No consistent WiFi(connects&disconnects )constantly!!! Explaination nope. 3-Cannot allow a handicapped associate to come try out place.. or take a"SHOWER"!!! DUE TO THE HANDICAPPED SHOWER HEAD& HOSE HAS BEEN RIPPED &TIED TOGETHER BY...some "MEMBERS ".....Has it been replaced or fixed NO!!! (GOING ON A MONTH)still pushed aside. 4-Mens(grown men)... stalls are constantly bombarded with waded up fecal tissue paper in the corners, not in the toilet where its supposed to go!? When explained to staff ,its laughed at,or a look of "surprise "but continuing. Is it healthy & sanitary hmmm.??? 5-Constantly running out of paper towels,especially in the bathroom ...the demand out weighs the efforts to replenish (suggestions of a DysonWindBlade hands free dryer) was ignored. Would it save money ? 6-Constantly running out of soap in showers,when not working or empty...some members correct this obstacle by breaking the dispenser*(I guess this is how the message is relayed to janitorial staff...which I feel sorry for WHAT THEY GO THROUGH ON A DAILY BASIS, MY COMPASSION BUILDS with grit teeth) 7-Direct TV channels are VERY LIMITED*and as staff member said,"because we dont have enough members, some are deleted"...these are normal broadcast stations???) *Has anything... been done,Solutions,Signs,Emails,Notices to rectify these on going situations....NOPE...SO join and see the things that you witness that are passed by and laughed about day after day...* *Photos of these occurrences. .no words,just proof. But YOU still .....pay the monthly, because these are the Benefits I assume ;-|

Customer Service - As others have mentioned the customer service is terrible. The receptionist is just rude, there really is no other word for it. Also its not just one person either Ive dealt with all 3 of them and each and everyone is essentially unhelpful, uncaring and just rude. The only thing about the staff thats good is the trainers, at least they are friendly and helpful. Equipment - This place offers most of the machines that you will need for a comprehensive workout, unfortunately many of them are broken and they dont fix them very often. Also the free weights are extremely limited and 9 out of 10 times you will not be able to find the weight you need since its either in use or left lying around somewhere where you cant see. Customer base - Unfortunately due to its proximity to the train station the vast majority of the people that go to this place arent exactly the type of people you would like to work out with IE they are very ghetto. In addition to their behavior the vast number of them makes it practically impossible to workout during regular hours without having to wait at least 5 to 10 minutes for a machine. But the biggest problem with them is their attitude and behavior: Most of them do not bother to return the weights after using them. Most do not speak English so being able to tap in in between sets is incredibly difficult since well they dont understand you. And the worst one of all is their apparent allergy to proper hygiene. Many of them do not come to the gym clean and will leave their grime and stench on the machines that they use. All in all going to this gym will just frustrate and disgust you. Not worth it at all.

My name is Diana and I want to talk about my excellent and wonderful zumba instructor Lizbeth Villeda from LA Fitness downtown LA.. she is the best!!! I love how she encourages us to work our bodies out!!! She is so inspirational because she has showed us that when you work for something you will get it for sure. She has come a long way with her weight and she knows how it feels to be big and the struggle that comes with it... she always tell us to see her as mirror and be strong, independent, warriors and healthy. I am so blessed to be her diva!! I have been taking her class for over a year. I have been so consistent and I can tell you she knows how to encourage me and show me that I can reach my goals with god family and friends help. She has even inspired me to become a zumba instructor. Her class is intense and thats what I like and enjoy because you get to sweat the fat out!! Besides being my zumba instructor she is my friend and I can assure you that she is a wonderful person. She has given me the courage to dance in front of people because I definitely never dance outside of my house or family parties. I am beyond proud and blessed to tell you that she is the best zumba instructor of Los Ángeles CA. If you want to join us come, dance and have fun in her class!!! Monday and Friday at 5:45pm Tuesday and Thursday at 7:00pm Saturday at 9:45am

Very pristine kept gym with various amenities, however, this place does have its problems. For starters the parking, the gym is located in downtown LA making it less attractive for those who have to commute here by car. Parking spaces can be very restrictive at peak hours and limited to 2 hours with validation. The facilities here are fairly new, however they are very small for the size of a community that is only growing like downtown LA. Peak hours are hectic to have a steady workout routine here because of the limited machines. Other gyms can have 2 of each type of machine. Not here, space is so limited that it means that more often youll have several people waiting for you to finish your workout just to go immediately after you. This means therell probably be some interruptions during your exercise routines because youll probably have to wait especially for leg exercises machines to be empty. Moreover, Im noticing that almost all of the cardio equipment is salvaged. Now that in itself is not a problem, the problem is that many of the machines tend to be out of order very frequently. Granted, all of the problems I listed pertain to the fact that peak hours can be frantic for such small gym. The staff are generally amiable and the facilities are very clean.

now I love my light brown brothers and sisters ............but there is no racial versatility at this location.its run by latinos.no whites,no blacks or any other flavor.which is crazy because dtla is racially mixed. most likely management is hiring only relatives.this is a problem we have in dtla, the latinos are predjudice and they only hire their own people. if whites or blacks did this, they would get checked and would have to hire a token black or white.but at least they got rid of the fleas. if you take classes here, be prepared to excercise to only latino music. theyve watered down the hand soap and it doesnt clean anything. the place smells like other peoples sweat and breath,gross! on top of that, this location charges the most to join. noticed most of the good reviews on here are from latinos. so it may be a better experience if youre latino. if they want more stars, need to be less predjudice. I try to avoid this location. when I do go, Im in and out in no more than 20minutes. culver city and sepulveda location are much more classy.

The gym is newer which is nice but the equipment isnt. Even worse is they are very slow to fix anything. They have 3 flat benches but one has been out since they opened in June. The facilities are not very well kept. It seems like no one is in charge of re-racking the weights at all ever as the dumbbell rack is a horrible mess at literally all times. Youll find random weights and dumbbells all over out of place which makes finding the weights you need difficult at times. If you go during the busy hours, youre basically screwed and forced to snipe equipment because they very clearly dont have enough for the amount of people there. I go around 7am and even then it can be hard to find an open rack. They dont have a sauna, which I was told was intentional to keep people from staying too long. I think thats a shame and it says a lot about the clubs mentality towards hospitality. If you can get in at the right time, you will be able to lift to your hearts delight bit otherwise I say stay away and find a smaller cheaper place.
