LA Fitness - Culver City (CA)

1 /5 O Ilya (Ilya): Quite possibly the worst gym in the area and has been for a number of years. Ive been to all the LA fitness gyms in the area and the managers definitely dont care about the quality of the gym. No one ever puts the weights back, and no one has ever said anything. I guess everyone is too weak from not working out and taking Instagram videos about how they are in the gym not working out. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting, and you might leave dirtier than you came. The sauna looks like its going to cave in on you and smells like sweaty balls. People hang their shirts on the heater and walk in with shoes. The Marina Del ray LA fitness strictly enforces no shirts and shoes as does others. Someone needs to tech some sauna etiquette. Most of the equipment Is falling apart and sometimes you even need to bring your own because theres not enough things such a pull down bars. Most of the equipment is rusted and feels like youre in a prison. Oh and dont go during any hours because you will literally be waiting for hours to use the machines. Except for Sunday, when everyone is at church praying that all of this will get resolved. So not counting all those things, its quite an exceptional gym and almost as nice as the nice ones.

2 /5 Robert Schacht: Its a no for me. This LA Fitness location was really disappointing. I did not sign up after my trial. The facility often has an unpleasant smell, kind of like a mix of mildew and sweat that doesn’t seem to go away. It’s almost always crowded no matter what time you visit, making it tough to find available machines or equipment. That might be fine if people were polite. But unfortunately, gym etiquette leaves a lot to be desired. Weights are frequently left scattered around and slammed on the floor by roided out wannabe gym bros, and it’s rare to see anyone wiping down machines after use. The staff does nothing to remind people of how to behave like humans. The place feels a bit rundown too, with some walls missing and equipment frequently not in great shape. Working out here can feel more stressful than relaxing, which is disappointing since it’s one of the closest gyms for Palms and Culver City residents. I hope there will be better options coming soon for the neighborhood. I would never give this place my money.

1 /5 Anmol Sandhu: As a guest, terrible first impression:. Pros: - Spacious gym, numerous equipment, nice crowd, overall good vibes. Cons: BAD SERVICE - I signed up for a guest pass and walked 10 mins to the gym and was told I needed a physical ID before I could be let in. So I have to walk all the way back to get my ID and then back to the gym again. Was the personal info I already provided not enough? 30 minutes wasted there. - While signing the visitor form, a girl walks in and says, “oh I already scanned” to the front desk girl who was just talking gossip on the phone. What a joke. - Then I get taken to listen to a sales pitch that I already am turned off by. Alejandra (nice girl) gives me her monologue about the guest package, then asks me if I intend to come in solo or with a guest. I say solo, then she gives me the individual package speech. Wouldn’t have it been better to ask me that question to begin with instead of wasting more of my time? Furthermore, I get asked where I live 3 times in that conversation regarding where I’m from, which location I’d sign up for, and if they even have a location there. Was I not clear the first time? - I start making small talk with other gym members and tell them the same story up to now and to sum up what they said, “oh dude, why would you even do all that? People just come in here all the time”. In conclusion, doing the right thing at this gym gets your time wasted. Shame, I would’ve signed up for this location too. Nice gym, sloppy staff.

3 /5 Celestina Lucero: This gym is huge, with a lot of great equipment, but it is one of the messiest gyms! Management doesn’t enforce the maintenance of weights & the overall cleanliness of the gym. You can get a good workout in, but plan for extra time, just trying to find the equipment, because it’s not where it’s supposed to be.
