I just finished 4 weeks/8 sessions with Dan and I am extremely satisfied with my training!…read more Dan is a professional through and through. He tailored my workouts and listened to me. I read someone here say, he's in his office most of time. I say there is some truth to that but I am glad that he doesn't micromanages me! He is still watching through his computer what is happening on the floor. He saw me struggling finding a balance once and he came right out to correct my posture. He is watching at all times and I appreciate that. I also love the encouragement that the gives me. His statement, "you are not here to try, you are here to work" lives rent-free in my head. I push myself harder because I know he believes I can do it. The fee can be a little steep for others but you get what you pay for . I treat it as an investment I am making for myself. I now sleep better, have more energy and feels stronger physically. Lastly, there are quite a few people I've met who have been at this gym for over 3 years. What does that tell you? Hop on!

After completing my initial month of training, my primary takeaway is that the owner, Dan,…read moredemonstrates a clear lack of engagement and coaching passion. My friend and I terminated our membership after the first month because the coaching model did not match what was advertised. Dan claims to offer 1:1 personal training or small group sessions, but this was far from the reality. Typically, you have to approach his office door and ask what the workout is for the day. If you ask, he might briefly explain the movements; if you don't ask, he won't proactively offer guidance. Throughout the session, the owner remains seated in his office, observing via monitors. He rarely corrects form or offers instruction because he is not actively supervising the floor. On rare, lucky occasions, he might come out, say a few words, and give you a perfunctory high-five when you finish. I also experienced unprofessional practices regarding both pricing and communication. The day following my inquiry, the advertised 2025 price structure (which was $395 for two sessions per week/per month) was removed from the website, and I was subsequently presented with a new, higher rate. Furthermore, his follow-up email used highly deceptive sales language: "Here is what we have available with ongoing special including $50 OFF every package and it is month to month, no contract required nor any other hidden fees (Nutrition guide is also included in the package.)" 2 x per week = 8 sessions in one month, One month package is $395 The issue is that when I sought clarification, Dan stated that the $395 price we were charged was already the rate after the $50 discount was applied. This setup is highly misleading, as the email aggressively advertises a $50 ongoing special off the package, suggesting a lower final price. If you are looking for the dedicated, hands-on Personal Training (1-on-1 or semi-private classes) as described on the website, please consider other options.

I go early mornings or late at night. There are two parts to the gym. You can power lift in one and do regular workouts in the other. All amenities are available and no waiting. That's the best part. I can get in and out.

Best Gym around! Barbells for miles. Once here you'll realize how crappy the barbells are at other…read moregyms. Not only are the barbells great, there's one for just about every type of exercise you do. The trainers are top notch. All Accomplished and they walk-the-walk. You'll be guided in the right direction if that's what you are needing. Even if you know the path sometimes it's good to get that extra push trainers can give you. Went in this morning and it's clean, clean, clean. Just like the day it opened and I've been here since day one and not going anywhere. You'll have every piece of equipment needed to help meet your goals.. Doesn't matter if you are a beginner or experienced, this place has some of the nicest members you'll encounter. And if you are experience, this place has the best of the best in the strength game. It's an amazing place!

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

As I mentioned in my previous review, I think the only knock on this gym is that there is not…read moreenough cardio equipment but all that being said it's a lifters gym so that makes sense. The place is always clean, weights are always put away, clientele is always for the most part working out, not carrying on with conversations or taking or making their own video production of their workout because they're an influencer, which don't give me wrong they are still here, but they're far a few between the other gyms. They offer ready-made meals, every kind of protein drink that you can come up with along with waters a place to sit and rest so you really can't go wrong with this gym. The owner Dave, his wife and the staff are all really really, really nice people.

this gym isn't that bad. I only chose this place because I hate packed gyms. I had a 24 pass before…read moreand it's ALWAYS packed. I'd rather not wait in line to use a machine. It's very small but has enough equipment that people aren't just sitting and waiting for people to be done. They have different promotions every month for each tier of their membership but I just did the lowest one cus it's $17 and I live very close by. I haven't used the gym to its full potential cus I'll only do stair master or a machine or two. I just cancelled my membership today bc I haven't been going and I rollerblade so that has been my work out. They charged me $17 to cancel my membership It was a good run, maybe I'll rejoin later. Also the ownership changed and the app doesn't work anymore which is kind of wack.

The gym is very mid. Hours aren't that flexible and they usually close pretty early. The equipment…read moreis fairly new but not that much range. No sauna, steam room, pool etc. It's super basic. My biggest issue is that I moved so I needed to cancel. You can only do it in person. Then they make you pay for another month even if your fee isn't due. Very very inconvenient especially with the annual fee already being so high. The staff were nice though.

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.

*Update - The General Manager told me that members should be allowed to work in with Personal…read moreTrainers and that Personal Trainers are told to avoid using popular equipment during busy times. 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?

Arrived at this location around 10amsh on Friday 05.15.2026…read more Its one of a larger size location that has available parking at their 4 story lot. As a warning, pending what time you go, parking is very hard to find. Both parking structure and street. Everyone is hawking for parking, meaning everyone is aggressive. Good luck on that part. This is one of the main inconvenience at this location. I entered the gym and I was greeted. Kudos to the front desk for doing so. It really sets the vibe and energy. Went to restroom and it was somewhat clean. Entered the bathroom to find out there was a clogged pipe and urine was all over the floor. 10 minutes later, it was announced on the loud speaker that the bathroom was closed! Gym equipment at this time was somewhat maintained. Loose weights were scattered in various places. The mats were dirty. Overall, this gym does its job. You have the cardio side, free weights side, mechanical side and basketball court. Also, this is one of the gyms that still has punching bags you can use and utilize for boxing and mama. This gym can use some work on their equipment cleaning. Restock, clean, mop floors and vacuum. I advise they should have a full time cleaner walking around the clock for maintenance. Good to go. Crowded but doable to get a good workout.

I had a really frustrating experience calling Anytime Fitness and speaking with Alexandra…read more From the start, the interaction felt disorganized and unhelpful. I had a few basic questions about membership and access, and she struggled to provide clear answers. Communication was difficult, and I found myself having to repeat questions multiple times without getting much clarity in return. Customer service--especially over the phone--is often the first impression of a business, and this one missed the mark. It felt like there was little effort to understand my questions or guide me toward helpful information. I ended the call more confused than when I started, which is never a good sign when you're considering joining a gym. Hopefully this is just an isolated experience, but it definitely made me hesitant to move forward.

Lainey is AMAZING! I hadn't stepped foot in a proper gym in over 20 years (I was all about spin,…read moreyoga, and Pilates), but she completely changed the game for me. She broke down weight lifting in a way that was easy to understand, taught me proper form, and tailored exercises to match my personal goals. Now I walk into the gym feeling confident instead of intimidated--and that's all thanks to her. Lainey's energy, motivation, and knowledge have been a total game changer. If you're even thinking about getting into weight lifting, do yourself a favor and train with her!

I've been going to this gym for years and I think I'm going to have to find a new gym…read more They often have events here which means part of the gym gets closed off and people can't access certain equipment. The issue with this, is there is usually no announcement. Posting on social media is not the same as sending email announcements and even setting up a notification on the app! When they made equipment upgrades, we weren't even notified. Imagine showing up to the gym to workout and you can't! Sometimes no one shows up when the when the gym is supposed to open, like today, which means I can't workout. It's been 30 minutes and still no one. This has happened too many times for me. A lot of us get up early to go to the gym to start our day and can also ruin workout schedules for people like me who are bodybuilding.
