The only reason I go here is because it is cheaper than other local gyms, and that is absolutely it. If other gyms can offer similar price range (+10 dollars or less from this crappy Bally gym membership), I would love to cancel my Bally membership that day. Why this Bally is getting poor ratings: 1. They ignore your reasonable requests as member. Their water fountains need maintenance because the water tastes lukewarm and bitter. One of the fountains has really low water pressure that you almost have to kiss the spout to reach the water. I complained about this issue in December of 2009 and many have since complained about the same issue. Now, almost half a year passed, but nothing changed!!!. Now they tore out the scale and have not replaced for months. 2. They close at 11 pm on Monday to Thursday. That means you can stay in the gym until 11 pm, right? Now there is a guy going around 10:45 yelling at members that the gym floor is closed. Thankfully, many people ignored him, and then that employee came around again yelling at people, "Ladies and Gentlemen, the gym FLOOR IS CLOSED. PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TOWARD THE LOCKER ROOM." What the f***... I am also so sick of their advertisement for personal training. If you are in this gym, expect to hear some propaganda-like advertisement about their expensive personal training. It boils down to this: If members request something they deserve but cost the management money, they will gladly ignore that; however, if they have to spend money on something they will make massive profit on, they do it right away. For example, it took them LESS THAN A MONTH to set aside a racket ball court for personal training purposes. Oh, regular members cannot even get in there even if there is nobody in that empty space. Personal trainers will "advise" you to stay away from that space. Crappy water problem that needs to be fixed obviously needs more time for the management because it costs them money. When you sign up at this place, please make a careful comparison with other gyms. Other gyms may be more expensive, but are you willing to put up with these problems I mentioned? Last thing to consider: Some of this Ballys equipment are rusty. Choose carefully.

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS PLACE!!! BAD BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!! I WENT INTO LA FITNESS AFTER I SIGN UP ONLINE. WHEN I SIGN UP ONLINE IT GAVE ME THE OPTION TO ADD A VIP GUEST WHEN I WENT IN I BROUGHT MY VIP GUEST AND THEY INFORM ME THAT MY GUEST WAS NOT FILE. THE SALES REP STEVE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK HOME AND RE-DO-IT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO LET MY GUEST IN. I TOLD HIM THAT WOULD BE AN IN-CONVENIENCE FOR ME HE SAID THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY FOR MY GUEST TO COME IN THEN HE ACTED LIKE HE WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY AND THAT THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY SAID THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY FOR MY GUEST TO COME IN I ASK IF I CAN PLEASE SPEAK TO HIS MANAGER AND HE SAID HE WAS THE MANAGER AND TO NOT GET LOUD WITH HIM AFTER I WAS BEING VERY CALM AND TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY FRUSTRATION. WHEN I TOLD HIM I WOULD RATHER JUST CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP HIS PHONE RANG AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONVERSATION HE PICK UP HIS PHONE TO TAKE A PERSONAL CALL. THIS GUY STEVE IS RUDE AND VERY DISRESPECTFUL AND ALSO OBESE SO NOT A GOOD IMAGE OF THE GYM ! WHEN HE FINALLY DECIDED TO GET OFF HIS PERSONAL CALL HE DECIDED HANDED ME PIECE OF PAPER TOLD ME I HAD TO MAIL IT IN ORDER TO CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP AND SO I WILL NOT BE CHARGE AGAIN I SHOULD CERTIFIED THE LETTER OR ELSE I WILL BE CHARGE AGAIN!! THEIR IS SO MANY GOOD GYM OUT THEIR PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS ONE !!!!

Im a huge fitness freak and like my options of weights and equipment when I go to a gym. I love this gym for that fact of having plenty of options but it is dirty and the locker room is so gross. The whole place needs to be updated. If it wasnt for the equipment and that its super close to my house I probably wouldnt work out at this one. There are other LA Fitness that are much cleaner and updated. The womens locker room is so disgusting. People dye their hair in there and I saw one lady spit on the floor. The cleaning crew does do a good job with disinfecting and mopping because it always smells clean but maybe if they updated the gym it wouldnt look so dirty. The juice is also so wimpy looking, and hopefully they are getting a new company to take over that. They also need a woman trainer which I think would be much more helpful, even though the training is a little expensive. Also their motto is that you never have to wait for a machine or to use any weights, and I have waited plenty of times. I dont mind but I know there are some people out there that would mind and wouldnt like that. And their TVs are so outdated. They need to update all of their TVs and change up the channels. I dont feel like watching the News while Im doing Cardio. I want something entertaining.

Pros: Large gym with a lot of equipment, small indoor track, kids club, pool, large "spa"/hot tub. Weight lifters are typically legit and doing their own thing. Enough cardio machines. Cons: Equipment is mostly old (therefore falling apart, squeaky, doesnt work). Gym itself is really gross and dirty, even though you always see cleaning staff trying to keep the bathrooms clean. Havent seen anybody wipe down equipment. People in the womens bathroom use paper towels under their feet and in the lockers and leave them everywhere (how hard is it to throw it away? or buy $2 flip-flops?) The pool literally *tastes* bad. People dont shower before getting into it. There are pipes that leak from the ceiling and the water drips into it. Do NOT come here if youre a real swimmer. Youll be frustrated with 3 walking lanes or with people just standing in the lanes. Do NOT come here to swim if youre a female after 6pm because there is a group of guys who will talk to you and harass you. They dont listen to "no" and they dont care if you ignore them. They literally talk to every female. Great place for doing weights though. Real lifters with real goals here.

Way back in the early 90s this wasnt a bad club. The bean counters moved in after that and gave you the equivalent of a fast food health club. I dont know about the female locker room but if its even half as disgusting as the guys locker room, youre better off keeping out of it. The members at this club prefer to get dibs on machines by placing a towel on them while they chat with other members and let you wonder who the blank is using this machine. The employees of this club do nothing about it either. Although youre lucky to see any employees in this club to begin with. This club does have more machines to choose from than other Ballys Ive been in, but most of them are poorly maintained. They once had everybody put the weights back where they belong, but they abandoned that policy too, and now the club is a pure mess because of it, and youre lucky to find what youre looking for. If you can afford to be a member of another club that isnt the equivalent of a fast food diner this place is, youre probably better off.
