LA Fitness - San Diego (CA)

5 /5 Joseph Young: Equipment is newer and generally in better condition compared to other LA Fitness locations. Peak busy times are 530-6am, then 3-7pm when lines for machines may form and the gym gets warmer especially in the afternoons. Not too many wannabe influencers but some mostly later in the day. Equipment is usually clean but some patrons dont wipe surfaces down unfortunately.

3 /5 Eriberto Ramirez: Let me begin this review by saying that if you are someone who is not looking for convenient parking, doesn’t care about the sauna, and is looking for busy location then this is for you. Conversely, if those are things you care about you’ll be sorely disappointed. Overall, if you’re in the area and it isn’t a busy time this place is pretty awesome in terms of space. However if you want to sauna, have a larger vehicle, or are looking for a steam room this isn’t the place to be. Having personally visited most of the locations in San Diego, I would rather go to another location that has more convenient parking and has a working sauna. Lastly, if you’ve made it this far, I just wanna let you know. I hope you have a wonderful day. Keep your head up, stay positive, and remember to keep the faith. Make it a wonderful day, that choice is yours .

3 /5 Montana Browning: The gym is in a very convenient location if you are in mission valley. It is relatively new and decently clean. There are usually cleaning wipes throughout the gym to clean equipment. The ac works well and there is enough parking in the lower levels. They have tons of aerobic bikes and treadmills. It has a pool if you swim. The price is relatively inexpensive also. These are basically the good things about the gym. The bad things are probably 70% of the people in this gym sit on the machines and just fiddle with their phones most of the time. I have watched people on a machine for 20 min or more doing nothing but basically texting. I feel like asking them how many texts they do have left instead of sets. The gym also is so crowded almost anytime you go that you are going to be waiting forever for almost anything. There are only 3 squat racks and you are going to be waiting for those no matter when you arrive. I really wish they would have chosen a better brand of machines then hoist or matrix but I think those are the usual ones that LA fitness buys. The parking is tight so if you have a nice vehicle it will probably get hit at some point. In conclusion it has its good and bad like any place. I would rate it average based on these things.

5 /5 Danny Hernandez: LA Fitness – Mission Valley ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is hands down one of the cleanest, most well-maintained LA Fitness locations I’ve been to. The equipment is modern, the layout is spacious, and everything feels dialed-in for people who are serious about performance, growth, and consistency. Big shoutout to Genaro—his professionalism and welcoming energy made a difference from day one. He’s the kind of team member who elevates the whole environment. Respectful, knowledgeable, and always ready to help without being pushy. That’s rare. The turf area is a highlight, and the gym doesn’t feel overly crowded. Machines are in top shape, free weights are always organized, and the vibe is strong throughout—from cardio to the pool area. Whether you’re just getting started or already on beast mode, this spot makes it easy to stay committed. Highly recommend.

3 /5 BZ619 Socal: I’ve been a member of this gym for a while, and unfortunately, the quality has gone downhill. The showers are inconsistent — some barely have any water pressure while others feel like a fire hose. It’s frustrating, especially after a tough workout. Even worse, several pieces of equipment have been out of order for over a month with no sign of repair. It’s unacceptable for a place charging premium rates. Management seems to ignore maintenance requests, and it really shows. Definitely not worth the membership price in its current state. Wouldn’t recommend until they get serious about basic upkeep.
