LA Fitness, Irvine CA

This is my regular place for workout. Equipment is still quite new, and the gym interior is spacious and pleasant. It gets crowded after 4: 30 on weekdays, and parking becomes a problem.

Good monthly price. Only cons are the lack of squat machines and the fact that it is very full at night

This gym has the best atmosphere of any LA Fitness I've visited. I'm here about every day. Most of the equipment is in good shape. The people who work out here are friendly, so are the staff. I do wish they had more Hammer Strength machines instead of Startrac. Also wish the flat benches had adjustable height racks like the LA Fitness on Jamboree. Also wish they'd expand the hours! This is a good place all around.

It’s a decent gym, staff is always friendly and helpful when I lock myself out of the combo locks. The weight room is well equipped. My only grip is the pool. Nothing I hate more then seeing wads of hair and unknown debris floating in the pool. Weekend hours could be better maybe open at 7 instead of 8 am. Other than that I recommended!

Whatever you do, DO NOT sign up for personal training sessions. While all of the staff members can set you up with a training account, you can only cancel with the manager. By the time you learn this, they will have already billed you an extra month (s). Good luck getting a refund!

Other than that, the facilities are okay but not really convenient if you're a parent. For some reason the Kids' club is closed more often than other local area gyms as they close early on Saturdays (12pm), all-day Sundays and EVERY single holiday including Halloween -which isn't even a real holiday. As a parent, this is a MAJOR limitation!

Asad (or Assad) is a scum bag and flat out lied to me when I was signing up for personal training. Had I had the honest answers, I wouldn't have signed up. I asked him point blank how long the sessions are and he gave me a round about answer that made it sound like they were 50 minutes. Surprise! They are only 25. I also asked point blank if. Utrillo. Is included, and he said yes. Surprise! Nutrition is only included if you pay for one of your 25 minute sessions to sit at a desk with your trainer and review meal plans. I did that once and we only got through breakfasts. I asked multiple questions point blank, and was given lies as the answers. Worst training program ever, and the training manager lies to you if you ask questions. Don't go here at all. My trainer, Gabe, was great and the only reason I didn't cause more of a fuss, but this wasn't the program I was promised. Such a scam.

Always crowded, almost no one brings or uses a towel, mgt says" they want to run a friendly gym, don't want to press people to use towels but will take it under consideration" many young people, impolite and sweat all over the machines without wiping up.good thing this is not my normal location.

PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT SIGN FOR PERSONAL TRAINING
Please do not join the Personal Training here. All the sales people will try to manipulate you to sign their 12 months training program, they will not give you all the details about the contract they will make you sign and by the time you realise their program is not worth a penny you time period to ask for refund has passed because they did not tell you about it.
My exp has been very bad with the personal training staff here, they will all behave nice while trying to make you their member but when you are a member they will not take your calls they will not give you any appointments for weeks and when you ask for refund they will act all fraud. The personal training manager ASAD specifically. Being the Vice President for the gym when I went with a problem to him he acts like he has no authority and will tell you to approach someone else. This person even hung up on customers.
I remember when one gym member had a question about the exercise she was doing they treated her as if she was their for free. Personal Training people have no respect for their customers.
