I switched to TriFit after years at Equinox, and I wish I'd made the move sooner…read more At Equinox, I got used to rude front desk staff and paying a premium for perks that never actually applied to me. TriFit is the opposite. The front desk team is genuinely friendly every single time, no attitude, no upsell pressure, just people who seem happy to help. The equipment is excellent, well-maintained, and there's always enough of it that I'm not waiting around during peak hours. But what really won me over is the locker room. It's spotless every time I go, well-stocked, and the steam room is one of the best amenities I've had at any gym, ever. It's clean, comfortable, and actually relaxing, not something I ever expected to say about a gym locker room. If you're paying big-box gym prices for a big-box gym experience, do yourself a favor and check out TriFit instead. Highly recommend!

This facility is small but has the bare minimum in terms of equipment, showers, sauna, pool. The…read morecycling room was a selling point to paying almost $200/month, yet half the bikes don't work. When you ask the employees, they say "I don't know, I don't really cycle". I'm not sure what that has to do with knowing how to use the equipment at the gym that you do in fact work at. The staff is the primary reason I decided to cancel my membership. They are simply bodies in a chair. They won't help, they don't say hello or greet you, they seem like they'd rather be anywhere else. They act like you're interrupting their personal conversation when you need to buy a water or ask literally anything. Cycling classes come and go without wiping the equipment. The cleaning standards here are 7/10. The best selling point here is the pool. It's nice to swim indoors, but there are only 3 lanes. Also, the cycling instructor, (Bernard I believe?) is the reason this gym gets a third star vs 1. Overall, the staff not knowing how equipment works, saying you're SOL when none of their bikes work, and being overall rude and unpleasant really kill the energy here more than I imagined. When I first signed up, I felt like it did not matter if the staff was rude- but here we are. I would rather pay less, knowing i'm going to get sub par service. If I'm going to pay almost $200, I would expect cleanliness and employees who know anything about the gym.

Here's to hoping management actually sees this and takes action. Because it's laughable to call this a "premium" experience.

Low frills, a place for me to train (until I was asked to take it easy on the bags). If you are looking for a gym to train, you can do that here. Depending on your preference. Not one cell phone in the steam room. Actual privacy, and a gym. Which is what I was paying for. Westside people tend to be more chill. Minding my business was easier for me to do at this location than city Los Angeles. I have been earthbaring since it was good earth. The corporate takeover, hashtag wellness trend definitely changed things. Still on the search for a space that has heavy bags that I can train on and not be asked to be less strong... with fresh air / natural outdoor options. Maybe throw a little tai chi in the mix. Stay well.

The GENERAL MANAGER , name "Mike Smith" Very disrespectful,…read moreunethical, and unprofessional. Today I stopped by at this location to grB a shake and tKe a picture of the back examination machine, so I can search for a home version one. I am a former member , with 6 years of continuous membership, and due to my recent injury on a treadmill on BH location , I had to cancel my membership since 2 months ago, when I arrived today at SM , I explained to this general manager that all I need is to be accompanied by one of the available employees to the back extension machine, for me to take couple of pictures. This rude , non-gentleman manager told me about the policy of the club being exclusive to members only , and refused to help me. I walked out feeling disappointed, disrespected , and betrayed. I don't think people such this guy name "Mike Smith" can present equinox club properly, instead they would make the reputation of the company jeopardized . He definitely needs to address his behavior, and instead of only following the polices , practice some leadership manners, as well as kindness and compassion. I would never visit this club again because of this general manager's poor skills of management, and terrible customer service. I strongly believe he doesn't fit the culture of Equinox club at all.

We had a 3 dive local experience with A superb Dive Master Julie and Boat Captain Drake. Both…read moreprovided excellent service and were friendly, funny and very experienced. Julie had great 'eyes' and pointed out all of the endemic sea life. She managed the group of 6 appropriately and safely (but not overbearingly). The boat only had 6 divers which was really awesome.

I've been running with Track Club Los Angeles (TCLA) since 1997! The group meets on the track at…read moreSanta Monica College every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. There is a workout for beginning runners, new to track, usually 400m repeats. The majority of members are in the "main" workout, which varies in content every week, always totaling 3 miles on the track. For example, 3 x 1600m or 6 x 800m. Runners are split into groups based on speed. The group also meets for a weekly run off the track, usually from the Brentwood Coffee Bean on Saturdays at 6:45 a.m., for distances varying from 5 - 20 miles. Great for runners training for 5K, 10K, half-marathon and marathon distances.

I've also got friends and family in the area and can't wait to tell them about it for their birthday parties and family gatherings as well. Thank you!!!!

A few notes to consider before reading any equinox reviews:…read more* I go to multiple equinoxes in LA and OC. This review leverages the experience of these other equinoxes in mind * Lots of entitled and spoiled people go to Equinox and consider even minor every day hiccups huge inconveniences worthy of the death penalty. They come onto yelp and leave disgruntled reviews. Make sure to adjust for this. Parking (****) - like any gym in LA, real estate is tight and parking validation only lasts for a limited time. Westwood gym is a 2 hour validation and going from the parking to the gym is quick and easy. Above average compared to other gyms. LAFitness right across the street is 90m and you'll spend over 10 minutes getting to and from your car. I still think this is not enough for a gym visit so I take my scooter and dont have to worry about it. I'm surprised there aren't more e-bikes or scooters. Gym layout(***) Also needs the caveat of: like any gym in LA real estate is tight... this means small floor layouts separated by stairs and more stairs. The gym could have been designed with better use of floor space. They have the equipment seprated by type (free weight, assisted) which is unfortunate. It would be better if all the leg equipment was in one place, all the chest equipment in another, regardless of whether it's free weight or not. Still this is just a minor gripe. Customer Service (**) - this is where all the LA gyms suffer. It's just... LA. Compared to the OC gyms the CS is really mediocre but compared to LA it's probably above average. This is probably a plus for busy gym goers that don't want to be bothered with pleasantries but coming from OC, where all the employees give you genuine hellos, smiles, fist bumps, shoot off quirky compliments as you lift, make you feel at home, know you by name...it is kind of dry. Pool (??) - can't really comment as I dont swim but you can see the pics. Not all the LA gyms have a pool so i'm assuming this is a plus. Steam room (***) - just average. The clientelle doesn't quite know how to use the eucalyptus oil spray so it's always musty. Spray that shit constantly on the steam homies. Boxing (*****) - i love this boxing gym. No speed bag but it's a separate room with double end bag, heavy bag, and a tear drop bag. Usually empty. Some people kind of dick around in there for a whole hour but I mostly see people doing efficient hard core works outs and stepping out within 20-30 min. So if you brought your e-scooter, not a big deal to wait for it to open up. Usually empty when i show up Overall this is my go to gym in LA. Occasionally i'll go to culver city or santa monica for a change of scenery but i like this one best.

Unfortunately, my experience with Coach Kaue was very disappointing. Instead of creating a supportive atmosphere, his communication felt unnecessarily negative, disrespectful, and at times hostile. As a coach, professionalism, patience, and encouragement are essential, particularly when working with players of different skill levels. Constructive feedback is always appreciated, but it should never come across as belittling or disrespectful. The overall atmosphere made the session uncomfortable rather than enjoyable. For an organization associated with a five-star property, I expected a much higher standard of customer service, professionalism, and respect toward participants. I sincerely hope the management reviews this feedback and ensures that future sessions reflect the level of hospitality and professionalism that guests expect.
