LA Fitness, Pembroke Pines FL

First time I went here today. It's a hike for me, but I wanted to check this place out. One thing I appreciate is that it's not as packed as my home-base gym. I didn't wait for anything. Granted it was arm day, but even still it didn't look like I'd be standing around waiting no matter what day it was.

Also, I really like the fact that on weekends they open an hour earlier than any other LA in the area. I like starting my days with a workout and even with the drive I can get my workout in and be home when I'd just be getting started at my normal gym. Gives me an hour more leisure time for my weekend.

Cons. This place is completely disorganized. I walked in right at open and plenty of weights were all over the place and some barbells just straight missing. And since I walked in at open - it means the staff doesn't do anything as far as putting things away or instructing gym-goers to do so. When using the bench press I felt like I was doing cardio in between sets for as far as I had to walk to grab a pair of 10 lb plates. It's one of the worst gyms I've seen in terms of everyone leaving stuff everywhere. My friend who has attended this gym has said the same.

Also, water fountains? I didn't find them anywhere! I scanned the whole time I was there and didn't see one, although I saw plenty of vending machines! Please. My buddy told me afterwards they do have water fountains but they're hidden and it took him a while to find them as well.

See others complaining about the bathrooms. I didn't use it, but based on what I've seen it wouldn't surprise me if they are as bad as everyone complains. I just try not to use gym bathrooms in general so.this just doesn't apply to me but a clean restroom goes a long way no matter where you go.

Overall, I liked it - conditionally. I appreciate the extra hour I'd get on weekends so that's probably the only time I'd go. Especially with the lower volume, I can get my weekend workout in super fast and early and can enjoy the rest of my weekend. That's a priority for me. If not for that extra hour and the fact its mostly empty - I wouldn't come here. Mainly because it's a drive, not because I disliked it that much. If I lived closer - I'd consider it as a more regular option.

3/5. Minus 2 stars because NOBODY puts ANYTHING where it's supposed to go. To the point it's one of the worst LA's I've seen in terms of that. Put on comfortable shoes for all the walking you'll have to do to grab weights/barbells/anything. It's worse than YouFit in that aspect, and I personally have almost no positive things to say about YouFit as a chain.

Great gym not sure why ppl give this gym bad review I mean this gym is pretty good for the amount of people that go to it. People that work there are very friendly.

He estado en varios LA Fitness y este es el que mas resultado me ha dado llegué pesando 237 libras y gracia a la ayuda del entrenador Carlos Javier Ortega he podido rebajar 40 libras. Recomiendo mucho a este entrenador.

I have been to many LA Fitness and this is the one that has given me more results, I arrived weighing 237 pounds and thanks to the help of coach Carlos Javier Ortega I was able to reduce 40 pounds. I highly recommend this coach.

Worse LA Fitness you will ever go to. Carpet in locker rooms smells and is disgusting, missing dumbbells, broken machines, rude members, just complete mess. The worse! Avoid!

Super nice staf. So helpful and friendly thank you to Carlos Ortega the personal trainer for all the advice and help though my adventure here.

This gym has a variety of instructor led classes, that range from yoga, aquatics to Zumba and more. Some maintenance in the locker rooms and steam areas will definitely make this a better place for a workout. Overall, gym is well maintained all around. It does get crowded in the mornings and evenings.

That bathrooms aren’t clean, the locker room smells like wet old moldy carpet, the bathrooms are out dated, as well as the exercise equipment. LA Fitness charges you a decent rate to ensure that their facilities are kept up. I wouldn’t recommend LA Fitness ESPECIALLY this location to anyone. Save your money join a YouFit, Planet Fitness, or 24Hr Fitness.

Gym is ok and the staff is great, but it’s not well kept specially the bathrooms. I’ve been to other LA Fitness that’s are maintained much better than this one.

This gym is a down grade on la fitness reputation. The locker room needs to be totally replaced or renovated. La fitness makes enough money to bring this gym to a decent standard to serve its customers who live in this upscale neighborhood.

This gym is in absolutely deplorable condition. Weights are all over the place. Machines are consistently broken. Bathrooms are disgusting. The only good thing about this gym is the front desk staff and the ladies in the kid care.

Clean with plenty of machines and a variety of exercise class to choose from. With pool, sauna, racket and basketball court.

As long as you avoid the staff, you'll be okay. Machines are outdated. The instructors of the classes however are amazing!
