The front desk staff is always really nice, and the trainers seem awesome overall. I can definitely recommend mine, Will. He's knowledgeable, astute, goal-focused, and encouraging. It also feels like a genuinely respectful space. I haven't seen anyone leering or acting like a jerk - quite the opposite. And people are good about reracking weights and wiping down equipment. Parking can be a little bit of a situation at times, and people sometimes seem to wait around for spots for some reason, but there's actually plenty of parking diagonally across the street in the garage. Street parking is also often free or just a couple of bucks, so it's very manageable once you know the options. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot. Great vibe, great trainers, and solid equipment. There's even a hot tub in the locker room. It's not a polished, spa-looking place, but honestly that's part of the charm. I'd much rather deadlift somewhere with personality than in a lifeless beige box.

Been coming to this location for 20 years and have seen the gym go through many changes, especially…read moreduring COVID. Typically I'm here to swim laps and take water aerobics, so can't comment on the gym classes or equipment. Itzel teaches water aerobics M-W_F at 9am and her classes are packed largely due to her energy and the workout everyone gets. It's hard to keep a class fresh when it's three times a week, but Itzel manages to keep everyone engaged with excellent, varied music, exercises, and her smile and energy. For lap swimming, this is my favorite pool because it's much longer than the other LA Fitness locations At 25 meters vs 25 yards, which really makes a difference. There are 3 lanes, which swimmers split, and rarely do you have to wait for a lane unless you want to swim at 10am on M-W-F right after water aerobics when many people stay in the pool to continue their workouts. The showers, sauna and locker rooms are relatively clean. I say relatively, because it depends on the volume and the cleanliness of those using these spaces. I will say the woman who cleans the ladies locker room works her bitt off and is always sanitizing and wiping things clean.

If I could give zero Stars I would. After having my membership for less than 1 month I decided to…read morecancel. I paid up front first and last month they refused to give me my last month back and they refused to give me my $69 yearly fee back I live on social security and I can't afford to give $120 for something I didn't receive. I canceled the membership because they took money out of my bank account without my authorization. And they took it out before the due date causing things to bounce in my account. This business is ripping people off at least me anyway and I don't appreciate it. You're a very big corporation and it wouldn't have killed them to give me back my $120 it would have reflected good customer service and that you have your customers back but instead you broke my trust by getting into my bank account without my authorization. Don't do business with LA Fitness they steal from you.

Athletes were happy to chat and introduced themselves and everyone was so strong! There were people powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and a couple of strongman athletes. The neighborhood and streets nearby had plenty of parking spots, and I grabbed a spot right in front of the gym entrance. Head Coach Jabo was very attentive with his athletes, and was giving cues and advice about programming, adjusting the reps, sets, and weights when necessary, and providing moral support and encouragement. He gave me several cues that completely changed the feeling of each of the lifts for me, and communicated these cues in a way that helped me understand but not overthink. A couple of my top sets of the clean and jerk felt more smooth than ever thanks to his coaching. You can tell this gym has a close knit community of athletes and coaches who trust each other and perform exceptionally. Highly recommend for anyone, and especially Olympic weightlifters!

The only breeze you feel upstairs is when someone walks past you. Otherwise, the air is stale and stagnant. The responses from management have varied, beginning with, "Oh, it's not working?" Then, "We know about it." Good, but are you working to fix it? "We're waiting on the vendor." For six years? My favorite response: "Well, it's hot outside." Isn't that what an HVAC system is for? No one expects a workout to be comfortable, but you should be sweating from the effort, not the environment.

Some truly wonderful graffiti/urban art in the surrounding area. I digress. So this place is located inside of a modernish residential building. You would not know there is a SPA inside unless you actually go into the establishment, get checked in, and take the elevator up to the actual SPA. There you will see two nicely sized hot tubs and a cold plunge tub. Be warned that cold plunge is COLD! Opposite the tubs are the dry sauna and steam room which are HOT and the steam room is steamy! It does not take long to get a good sweat going, and before you know it you can feel the toxins and bad juju just melting away. They several types of water to re-hydrate room temp and cold water and sparkling water. I do believe I saw some plates that had oranges or apples or something of the sort. Be sure to try one of the foot scrub baths and massage. It really is the perfect tonic for pampering and stress relief. The massage therapist who handle my feet and calves was super friendly and professional. This foot care scrub and massage really the feet and calves much needed tension relief. There is a wonderful outdoor relaxation deck with lots of lounge chairs and tables to take breaks in between soak, sauna, and steam. This deck area overlooks a portion of the Portland city scape and highway. What made this deck enjoyable for me was waxing existential about what the folks in the cars driving by on the freeway might be thinking as you head back for a second dip into the hot tub. The SPA, locker and shower, and changing areas are all thoroughly maintained, clean, and give you everything you need to transition back into the Portland Urban. A really pleasant and enjoyable surprise Portland surprise.

The instructor was nice and helped explain things to me when I was confused on certain workouts. No one in the class made me feel awkward or uncomfortable for not knowing exactly what to do at times.

I've been to one location in Seattle a few years back, so coming to this one is a nice fresh visit. There's this welcoming feeling upon checking in, the girl who rang me up for supplements was very friendly. The floors are clean, it smells fresh and sanitized, most machines and equipment are the same as other 24's, but this one is extremely well kept and people take pride when using the facilities. Everything is all on one floor, so no need to use stairs or elevators to go up and downstairs. The only areas I didn't use were CardioX, swimming pool, and Spin Cycle room. I'm not too sure if parking is available, but it seems as though office workers come to and from their offices, and there was a security guard on patrol so I felt very safe inside the whole entire time.

They also really hype me up to keep going during the challenges to push myself to go harder or longer than I ever thought I could. But they always place safety and form first. Kylie, Taryn, Lafayette, and Erin are my usual crew and I get so happy to see them. I'm so happy I came here, I even got my husband to start coming.
