Iconix Gym Inglewood already has a great setup, but what really makes it worth the money is the…read morestaff, especially Taylor, Devin, and Jasala. From day one, they've brought nothing but positive energy. Devin deserves a special shoutout. I once mentioned the eucalyptus towels and asked if they could be kept stocked, and ever since then he has been ON IT. Every fridge stays filled, every time. That kind of follow-through really shows care and attention to members. Jasala is a pleasure every single time I walk in. She greets you with a genuine smile and amazing energy, and that honestly matters so much, especially at a gym. Being welcomed warmly sets the tone for the entire workout, and she does that effortlessly. And Taylor... always smiling, always good vibes, immaculate energy. You can tell he enjoys being there, and that energy spreads. I always joke that these three are my favorite workers at Iconix, but it's not really a joke. They truly elevate the experience and make the membership feel 100% worth it. Iconix is lucky to have them.

I enjoy attending Iconix and the HIIT classes, but I had a recent experience that made me feel…read moreunsafe. During class on December 9,2025 from 5-6PM, the space was small, so I wasn't able to follow the exact rotation and adjusted myself, which I believed was fine since the instructor didn't correct me. Another member gave me unsolicited directions even though she wasn't the instructor. At the end of class, she became passive-aggressive and asked the instructor to explain the rotation. Afterward, she stared me down aggressively. Then she continued to call out another woman in our class for doing squats in the inside of the circle. To which the instructor said it was completely fine. Afterwards I told her not to stare me down and that she's not the instructor to be delegating anyone in class. Despite me setting these boundaries, she pressed her body against me, yelling at me and trying to threaten/intimidate me. She began yelling religious statements, including things like "strike you down." I did not engage physically and was only protecting my personal space. The instructor did not intervene at the time, which made the situation feel even more unsafe. I hope the gym can address member behavior and ensure that everyone feels safe and respected during class. Otherwise, the workouts and instructors are great.

I have been going to Anytime Fitness for over 5 months. This is the cleanest gym that I've ever…read morevisited. At the age of 77 I'm doing exercises that I would never dream possible. Rich, my personal trainer explains each new exercise that he shows me and what muscles that are being strengthened. My previous back pains are gone and friends tell me that I look taller. This El Segundo facility has a big parking lot, so there is never a problem finding a parking space. In addition to being very clean, the staff and members make this club feel like your visiting friends while working out.

After doing some researching for a new gym, I found Anytime Fitness in the city of El Segundo that…read moreyou have access to 24/7 This is a small and like personal gym to me in a strip mall, there is no comparing this gym to Planet Fitness or 24 Hours Fitness, it's never crowded, you never have to wait to use any equipment or machines, it's clean has 4 private restrooms with two that has a shower in them, people are not dropping weights plus replancing loose weights back, there are some small cubby holes, some of them has a lock and key. So we made a apointment with Kate a manager here welcome us told us all about the gym gave us the tour, she was very nice and friendly, when you join you get a free trainer for an hour, I have been working out here a few months with no problems, one last thing on you app. it let you know how many many people are currently there.

Should be a 4-5 star rating. If you decide to sign up; you can take this review and be cautious of…read moresign up at Anytime Fitness for same cost and newer/updated equipment. The Great: Showers/restrooms- amazingly clean! The main reason I signed up here. I commute a distance to go to work and travel at times, this gym is nearby by and cleaner than any 24hr/LA Fitness. Decided to pay more here for the cleanliness and because there's only 4 people in the morning working out. The Ugly: Family owned gym, so whatever experience you encounter. You will receive a very dismissive and condescending response. Especially from older gentleman. I happened to move a rower that's downstairs, 10 feet over... sorry 15ft over in front of the other broken tower to conduct a super set/circuit. During a set, the female owner just comes over and moves it back without having a conversation beforehand. There's no moving equipment, she said after I told her I was using it. Maybe I'm just a diva; but having a conversation with your members (especially a family gym goes a long way). Another Ugly: (Scam) At least big box gyms let you cancel if you move away 25 miles or more from a location of theirs. Their contract will have you pay out in full. Or continue your monthly payments until it ends. For the cost; it's better to join a Anytime Fitness if you're near one or avoid their 12 month contract.

I would not recommend this gym based on my experience. While the facility is generally clean--aside…read morefrom a few roof leaks on the bottom floor--and there is a decent variety of equipment (most of which appears to be second-hand), the management and communication have been far beyond disappointing. I initially joined Tone Body Fitness primarily for the boxing classes. I was one of the first to attend the free trial week and decided to sign up for both the gym membership ($65) and boxing membership ($125), totaling $195 per month. When I inquired about signing up for JUST the boxing classes, I was told that wasn't possible due to challenges in distinguishing gym members from boxing members. Because I had previously trained with Justin and enjoyed his classes, I chose to proceed regardless. A few months in, I was informed at the front desk that my account hadn't been properly billed for the boxing membership. I confirmed this on my end and paid the outstanding balance without issue. While there, I provided some feedback on the classes--specifically about the limited number of boxing bags and the volume of music from other classes affecting instruction. The girl at the front desk was polite and receptive, but the owner interjected with a dismissive comment, which did not reflect well on how feedback is handled. Later, I learned that several other members were paying only for boxing classes, contradicting what I was initially told. When I brought this to management's attention, I was informed that I would need to fulfill my full annual contract before making any changes. I could not believe it. There was no acknowledgment of the initial misinformation or willingness to find a resolution, which I found incredibly disappointing. To mirror the sentiments of Erick V. "having a conversation with your members goes a long way". In summary, while the gym has some positives, such as clean restrooms and an experienced boxing instructor, the inconsistent communication, lack of transparency, and poor customer service make it difficult to recommend--especially at a premium price point. There are other fitness centers in the same price range that offer better value and professionalism.

I absolutely LOVE Booty Boot Camp on Monday evenings with Jazmine and Sonia simply extraordinary!…read moreTheir energy & motivation are unmatched& they make the class so much fun while still pushing you to give your best. It's honestly the perfect way to start the week& now I actually look forward to Monday evenings & getting a great workout in. This was my first time at the gym,& I was really impressed. The heated room added an extra challenge in the best way,& the customer service was excellent from the moment I walked in.The. Nublends shakes Perfect both before & after a workout! Thank you to these amazing instructors I truly hope they continue offering more classes. I'll definitely be telling my friends to come try it out

I like the gym but management is horrible and lazy . Especially the big guy during the evening…read moreshift . They are rude and lazy and not responsive to the members needs when asked for assistance with lost items . I knowingly left something behind at the gym. I asked the to check in their office , where they keep lost items. He would not check because "he knew" it was not there. Wtf, guy only had to walk 20 feet and check just in case it was turned in. I tried to email the owner via the website but it wood not allow me to so. A separate issue is the horrible conditions on d the showers . The cleaning guys in the morning are awesome; however, managements needs to fix the shower heads and shower handles . How the hell are we supposed to work out ,shower and go to work from there when several showers are not working . I've been a member for about ten years but I am considering canceling my membership.

South Bay is probably in my top 5 Equinox locations I have visited. Large location with a roof top…read morepool. Relatively clean for the most part but from pictures I have seen from the other reviews, some of the weights are a little banged up. I am okay with this as long as it doesn't fall apart on me and the gym is kept clean, particularly the showers. I believe the premium we are paying for the gym is particularly for the cleanliness which after being at 24 hour fitness and la fitness, I understand how disgusting those places can be. Parking - Large parking lot - in the morning parking was pretty easy to park but I am sure this locations can get packed during the afternoon/night time.

I asked Rico if I could work in on the squat rack while he was doing a circuit of 4 exercises where 3 exercises were off of the squat rack. He told me no and threatened me saying that he knew I was the one who complained about him and he "DOESN'T CARE WHAT MANAGEMENT SAYS". For being 65 years old you would think he'd be more respectful of people and the rules of the place he works at. I'm not sure if there are different rules at the other gyms he trains people at, but I would expect he would follow Equinox's rules. **Update - Today I asked again to work in Rico on the squat rack and he again said no. He said he had 2 back to back clients where he was going to use the squat rack and I couldn't use it. He told me that the Equinox VP says he doesn't have to let anyone work in with him. He then threatened to get my membership revoked today and proceeded to call me childish for asking to work in. Rico proceeded to hog the platform squat rack for over an hour even though he was done using it with his 1st client so I couldn't squat on it. I don't understand why he's the ONLY Personal Trainer I've had threaten me multiple times and not let other paying members use equipment during busy times. Can someone please provide me with the corporate contact info if they have it?

Real old school bodybuilding gym. A rare breed nowadays with all of the commercial gyms around…read more This place absolutely rocks. Dbs go to 160 and they got all the machines you need and some you've never seen. Absolutely fantastic. The owner is around and he is a great dude. I've been to a ton of gyms and this is right up there with any of them. Great gym for those serious about working out or those who want to start and learn. Everyone is very friendly and respectful but if you want to roll in not say anything to anyone and go to work this is also the place for that. Got a lifetime membership immediately. If I could change anything it would be a water refill station but now I'm being picky

This review is focused on the Assisted Stretching Studio inside Powerhouse Gym…read more I'm not really a gym person and had I not know Sasha my assisted stretching therapist had a location here I probably wouldn't have ever stepped inside. On my first visit I was greeted at the counter and directed to the studio. The studio is relaxing and comfortable, you hear some of the gym noise but it is not distracting. Sasha is very good at knowing how far to push you to get the most out of your session, her work is very therapeutic, after one visit my shoulder felt much better, I felt additional improvement after additional session. I didn't expect 100% improvement immediately but my shoulder feels much better, and after almost 10 years of discomfort I can't recommend Sasha enough. If you are in the gym stop in and schedule an appointment. Gym staff is friendly and helpful, they have a lot of equipment and space, and an assisted stretching studio on site for your pre or post workout stretch.
