From the staff to the fellow members, this is the attitude and environment that every gym should strive to be. They set the standard. Having traveled and used other gyms, none of them compare. It's not your tik tokers and influencers trying to make the next viral video. It's people of all walks in their fitness journey, having a great time. Health is wealth as their sign says and I cannot take that moto any more to heart! Having been a member for over a year now, this is truly one of the best decisions I have ever made and I can't recommend The Gym LA as much as I want to. Now stop reading this review and get over there!!

I switched over to the gym after moving into a nearby apartment and walking to the gym (which I…read morealways prefer) was way more inconvenient with my original gym. The gym overall is very well maintained, always kept clean (bathroom is surprisingly well kept for a gym) and weights are usually where they should be. Theres plenty of towels and also disinfectant to wipe down equipment. The staff are friendly and pretty attentive as well always greeting as you come and go. I do have to ding one star in the fact that while their machine variety is good, there's only one of each except for the cable machines and racks which means if you want a specific machine you'll usually have to wait unless you come way off peak hours.

Ive been a member for about a year. Best decision I made last year. The facilities are great, nice…read morecrowd, great staff. I feel like it's Equinox for half the price! You should expand to new locations around LA. With that said, there is one area of improvement to work on. The lobby. It's outdated and needs a refresh. 1. The black and white photos in the lobby scream 1989. They need to go. Move the very cool "graffiti"style oversized poster to replace the black and white photos. It would look amazing. It's the perfect background for photo opportunities and Instagra. 2. The brass symbol sculpture needs to go. Its weird. It's broke. No need to prominently display something broken. Move the two randomly placed oversized black framed artwork on the back wall to replace the brass symbol thing. 3. The branches on the front counter with string lights look cheesy and cheap. They need to go. Buy 2-3 tall table lamps to go on the front counter instead. First impressions count. These small changes would significantly improve first impression of the gym. Thansk !

During my time as a member, I must say I have had a great experience here. The bathrooms are well…read morekept, they got hair dryers, mouth wash, deodorant, clean showers, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and a cold plunge. Most importantly you won't find yourself waiting long to use gym equipment, if you go at the right hours no wait for anything really. Not to mention they just got a new upgrade with equipment like the stair stepper. They offer a variety of different classes my only wish is that they could offer more in the future. I will miss coming here but hope to find my way back in the near future.

All of the coaches/trainers are super nice and we plan to try out more of the club's offerings this summer. He's run into quite a few kids he knows since many SMLL and NVLL kids train here. Everything is super clean and there's a nice waiting area that I can hang out in with my laptop and catch up on work while waiting for my kid.

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.

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.

I told the woman who was cleaning, and she casually said there are roaches there all the time because it's an old building. She seemed to dismiss it like it was normal, which was really disappointing and honestly gross. I also told the staff at the front desk, and they looked surprised, but clearly this is an ongoing issue if the cleaning staff already knows about it. On top of that, they charge $1 for parking. With the amount of people paying to use this gym and paying for parking, they should absolutely be able to afford proper extermination and better maintenance. The pool and jacuzzi area were also completely closed off, and there were no clear signs explaining what was being done or when it would reopen. Overall, the gym felt old, dirty, and poorly maintained. Seeing a roach in the locker room while changing was enough for me. I won't be coming back.
