Extremely rude front desk. I walk in to inquire about getting a tour as I'd like to know what the…read moregym looks like before I invest. After waiting at the front desk for about 5 minutes looking for help, nobody came to assist me and the desk stayed empty. I see what I believe is an employee go downstairs to the club so I walk down in hopes to ask for their help. After a few steps down the stairs I hear someone yell "hey blue shirt!" In a very angry tone. I was the one in a blue shirt. I explain that I was looking for an employee to assist me with a tour of the facilities, but the female employee who stopped me was not having it. Her demeanor was very angry and rude, defending the gym as if it were her very own temple. She defensively asked "what are you doing here?" as if I was not welcomed. What I don't get it, if you saw me take a few steps into the stairs, then why did you not acknowledge when I was waiting at the front desk? Where did you spawn from. After a while, I was assisted by a trainer (Mario I think?) who gave me a very helpful tour of the facility. I was very impressed, and his customer service was great. As I was leaving I could not get the taste out of my mouth from the rude front desk woman. I understand having pride in your work, but a service based role like a front desk attendant should have some more sympathy for potential clients. I came in dressed business casual from my job, I guess the dress code is not welcomed here. I tried to thank the staff in the front for their time and patience but they all gave me mean looks on my way out. Overall, while the facilities are nice, I will not spend my money at a place that does not treat prospective members with respect.

I needed a place to stay in town for a night while my apartment was dealing with construction, and…read moresince I've considered becoming a member of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, I figured this was a pretty good way to test-drive the place. The best part of staying at the hotel is that you get full access to the club, including the gym, pool, locker rooms, spa, sauna, and Jacuzzi. I used the locker room, sauna, and Jacuzzi and really enjoyed all of it. Very nice facilities and definitely the part of the experience that makes staying here different from a normal hotel. The locker room was a little confusing as a first-timer. I had no idea where I was supposed to get a locker or exactly how everything worked, and I happened to arrive at a very busy time. There seemed to be some assumed etiquette that everyone else already understood. A 30-second explanation at hotel check-in would go a long way. The hotel room itself was incredibly clean. Like, noticeably clean. Honestly cleaner than a lot of Marriott properties I've stayed at recently. Beyond that, though, the room is pretty no-frills. Mine was right near the elevator, so it was noisy, and despite being inside this grand historic athletic club, the actual hotel room experience somehow gives a little bit of motel energy. Clean motel energy, but still. Both the hotel staff and restaurant staff were very nice throughout my stay. For dinner I went to Invention, the club's lounge-style restaurant. Really nice atmosphere and a good place to hang out without having to leave the building. I ordered the steak frites and asparagus, plus a cocktail called Respect Your Elders, made with Buffalo Trace bourbon, St-Germain, Amaro Montenegro, and Angostura. Pretty good. Basically what would happen if an Old Fashioned developed a sweeter, slightly more herbal personality. I also had a Sangiovese, which really hit the spot after my recent trip to Italy. And then pecan pie for dessert. Yum. No notes. The steak came out a little more cooked than I would have preferred, but everything was very flavorful. For dinner entertainment, I happened to be sitting next to a couple on what appeared to be an exceptionally awkward first date. No reservation required for that show. The next morning I went to Famous Players coffee shop for breakfast. I had the California breakfast with eggs, avocado, and bacon, plus a latte. Solid breakfast, and more importantly, it was a nice place to wake up, open the laptop, and get some work done over coffee. I also appreciated the photos of USC football players on the walls. Fight On! Overall, I'm glad I stayed here. As a pure hotel, I probably wouldn't go out of my way for the rooms alone. But as a hotel attached to a historic athletic club where you can work out, swim, sauna, soak in the Jacuzzi, eat, drink, get breakfast, and basically spend your entire stay without leaving the building, it's a pretty unique experience. And as someone who had been considering membership, staying overnight was actually a great way to see what the club is really like.

It continues to have the best pool…read morewith advanced filtration system that does not make me feel like a chlorine tablet after swimming. But it now caters to a younger crowd and has substantial co-working space. I've certain found more members using the facilities but also discovered quite a bit of new programmings like the Pilates classes, mahjong club, live jazz performances and movie nights. I was not really sure about the change at the beginning but I am now fully embracing the new LAAC. Many of the staff and members have been here for a long time and it is nice to be greeted by familiar faces when coming to the club. The restaurants are pretty decent. Love to top my salad with a nice piece of salmon after workout at the Famous Players or have a tasty glass of scotch while enjoying the live jazz performance at the Invention. The sports bar Duke's has great happy hours and fun monthly evening karaoke or chess club meetings. The only thing I complain about is the need for shock absorbance and insulation of the noise or moving the weight station. The northwest corner of the Famous Players near Olive Street shakes every time the weightlifters drop their weights, which is very annoying and distracting for the diners. Feel like the ceiling or floor is going to drop out. No joke. For now, I would sit as far away from the northwest corner as I possibly can. But hope the club would look into it. I have been trying to sign up for the monthly wine tasting but they are always full. Maybe consider having the event more frequently or scale up? Regardless, I am still exploring all the new offerings at the club and really pleased with the Pilates classes and the live music performances. Although I am apprehensive when I first see the co-working space and the influx of new members, I now appreciate the additional events and classes that come with the new members and hope the club continues to do well and do better as I am here to stay.

David, the training manager, and Jenna, the personal trainer, were amazing to work with. I'm so…read moreglad I met David. He really listened to my goals and physical limitations and recommended Jenna as the best fit. Before training with Jenna, I was dealing with recurring pain, stiffness, muscle strains, and diastasis recti. Since working with her, all of those issues have improved significantly. I became much stronger and achieved incredible body recomp results. At my 1st check in the number on the scale barely moved but I'd lost 6 inches of measurable fat from around my body and replaced lbs of fat w muscle. That's why the inbody scan is so important. I got it done beginning, middle, and end and invested in a smart scale for home. Beyond the physical results, Jenna gave me the knowledge and confidence to train on my own, and I've continued applying what she taught me. Working with Jenna was hands down the best investment in my physical health. I highly recommend meeting with David and allowing him to guide you toward the trainer who best fits your goals and needs. As for the gym itself, it's one of the cleanest Equinox locations I've been to. There is always staff cleaning equipment and keeping everything organized. If it's your first visit, be sure to allow extra time for parking, the garage can take a while to navigate. Also, don't forget to validate your parking and keep track of your ticket.

When I tried to cancel, she made the process unnecessarily difficult and tried to guilt me into paying for another month I wasn't going to use. Instead of handling it like a professional business, she turned it personal, which was disappointing. On top of that, the gym has had a very high turnover of trainers and staff. Most of the people I originally trained with are long gone, and many of my friends who joined with me have also left. The workouts and trainers deserve credit, but the owner's attitude and approach to members is what ruined it for me. If you're considering this gym, I'd suggest thinking twice.

The place is kept really clean and equipment is still look new after a few months of usage. I'm glad the tuition has been out to good use.

I went to the EOS on Ceasar Chavez just trying to upgrade my membership for one month. I was told…read morethat even though I already have a platinum membership, I "couldn't" use that location unless I upgraded. I didn't want to upgrade permanently, but since I'm in LA for a month, I agreed to do it temporarily just so I could work out. Instead of a simple upgrade, I got stuck in almost an hour of nonstop pressure from an employee who kept telling me I "needed" a trainer, even after I told him no over and over again. I must've said no at least ten times. He ignored every single one. The customer service was honestly terrible. He didn't listen, didn't respect my boundaries, and kept pushing the trainer package like his life depended on it. I was already stressed, and instead of helping me, he made me feel trapped and taken advantage of. I ended up signing something I didn't want just to get out of the situation. The gym itself was hot with no AC, and the whole vibe was off. By the time I finished stretching, I was crying from how upset and overwhelmed I felt. I didn't even get to work out. To make things worse, I had to call my home gym in West Covina the next morning just to undo everything he pressured me into. They were the ones who helped me cancel the trainer, reverse the upgrade, and restore my membership, something that should've never been necessary if this location respected customers' boundaries.
