LA Fitness, Portland OR

"Your relationship to LA Fitness is the most stable and important relationship in your life. I could have told you that lol" - a close friend of mine said to me. And she was not wrong

Glad they reopened and are doing their best!

Edit: after a few weeks they’ve started enacting the masks at all times requirement. Obviously people are gonna pull it down now and again to catch their breath or do a set but overall everyone is wearing one now.

Original: It is absolutely not safe to return to this LA Fitness. After counting multiple times I learned about 95% of the members do not wear face masks; half of those wearing them don’t have them covering their mouth and or nose. The staff is mostly young people who seem completely indifferent to these safety standards so it makes sense that they are not enforcing it. I left after 20 minutes of my work out. Do not come back. Either freeze your account or switch gyms.

Love hate relationship with this gym.with the pandemic I was still willing to come in and I only canceled because I will be moving soon. However I still had 4 months pretty much paid to use. Mask are required but could be off when working out, THAT IS, until today.

Now you have to wear a mask while working out, I found that out today mid run.by an employee that decide to harass me about it while I'm training and sweating with zero energy for this BS.

I'm willing to to wear a mask almost anywhere, but during a hardcore workout when I can't breath as it is?

No! I had 3 minutes left on my timer to finish my training and After I told him nicely a couple times this time I told him to just back off and talk to me when I'm done, But he kept bullying me every 15 seconds.

I've never been so mad, In fact I always give people a benefit of the doubt and maybe blame it on the fact that they had a bad day, so I don't know if it was the adrenaline or what but I just had enough.

I'm already paying full price for a half closed gym, now I am supposed to wear a mask during a workout?

How is this logical and safe if you can't get enough air? Did you not read about the young guy who collapsed his lung after wearing his mask for a 2 mile run? You gotta be crazy to take it this far.

The way I was approached by the young kid is the reason I'm mad, not because of the rule. The rule is stupid but if I was told about it when I came in then I wouldn't have been on the treadmill in the first place.

There was 100 better ways to tell your paying customers who still try to support you than to bully them mid training.

Im leaving 4 star review because it's not their fault masks are now required to this extent.

Friendly staff. I got a membership here to work out, but mainly to shower when I was homeless during an grad school internship.

Want to cancel? Oh sure come in only during normal work hours or mail the corporate office. Let me take a day off to cancel my stupid memebership when half your stuff is broken. Trash gym, even worse policies.

Really tired of not being able to work out after 8 pm on the weekends. Decent gym just with unkept equipment and long wait times for maintenance

Above average gym. Front desk is friendly and attentive. Often have extra racquets, balls, and basketballs for you. They updated my membership to save me a little money. Restrooms are clean. Equipment is up to date and well maintained. Clean pool. Only negative is running out of paper towels in the mens room. Otherwise it's everything a gym should be.

Poor management and too many locker break ins. Members no longer allowed to use functional training area only trainers. Last straw for me I canceled my membership today.

The best way I can sum up this location is "let down". The equipment at this location is older than any of the other LA Fitness portland gyms i have been to and in general feels older and less updated. The treadmills are old, TVs are mounted on the ceilings instead of on the exercise equipment, lights are dimmer, and there is a serious deficit of Woodway treadmills. I now live across the street from this location, and I was excited to be walking (instead of driving) distance to the gym. I was so let down my first time going, that I might just keep my membership at one of the other clubs. If this gym cost less than the other clubs, I would be happy to pay a cheaper fee. But to pay the same amount for an experience that is vastly different seems like a rip off.

I know this is a corporate issue and has nothing to do with the staff of this location, so I will send this off to them as well. The staff is super kind and the facilities are clean.

Great place to work out.and when my water heater went out this winter, it was a blessing to have a place for a nice hot shower! Sorry just felt the need to up date this post. ALWAYS. ALWAYS. ALWAYS CALL. EVERYDAY. Just to see if the showers will be working that day. Or when Ya get out of the pool or hot tub. You can just wear that smelly hot tub water till.well whenever!? !

I enjoy going to this gym. The gym is clean, safe, and relaxing. The only thing I don't like is that the pool is always full when I go. I often end up not using the pool after waiting 30 minutes for someone to leave. Normally 2-3 people per lane with no time limits set. Overall, I wouldn't pick a different gym!

The gym is well equipped, clean, and the staff are friendly. I'd give them 5 stars except there are no classes before 8: 30am. My friends and I work and would love to attend yoga, pilates and cycling at 6am like the other LA Fitness clubs offer. I've called and asked the class manager if this can be accommodated here but was given a "I'll ask corporate" response with no follow up and no changes. Please provide morning classes for the working class.

At first I liked them, they had great deals and were friendly. I soon realized this place sucks! On the first day I said I didnt feel comfortable with a personal trainer and the guy kept calling me begging me to set up a day with one! After saying a million times no. So I got a new job with to many hours and its not even close to the gym so I call saying I want to quit and he won't take that as an answer! He insist I come in and we set times I can workout. At this point I'm very frustrated! So I come in and he's not even there! Just some lady at the counter! She says she will write down my info and give it to him so I can cancel! Really!? !? Why did I have to come in if she was just going to write it down!? So at this point I realize they took $40 out of my card the day before so I ask her if I can get a refund and she says "sure it'll take about three buissness days just call him tomorrow with your info" so I call and he says THERES NO WAY TO GET MY MONEY BACK now I'm $40 short and pissed. Dont go here! Please just dont.

It's a shame the manager does not care about costumer service at all.
I would not recommend this gym to anyone.

LA fitness but the only thing I don't lik about LA fitness because they didn't have wifi for membership to use. This is should be fix and improve.

I like the layout of this gym a lot. I use a majority of the cardio machines and the sauna. I think it's clean and nice. Around 9-10am it seems to be busy on occasion and Sunday around 645-7 it can be busy too bc they close at 8pm.

My favorite LA in Portland. Very roomy and no second floor like other ones. Everything is spread out so even when there is lots of people, its not crowded. Equipment is not old like at other clubs, but not brand new either.

This is basically where I changed my whole body.
Best gym ever.

Amazing gym, clean equipment, good prices after a little negotiation, pool and hot tub are nice and clean,

Pool and hot tub could use more attention. Overall a good gym with plenty equipment, lots of classes!

From first time there until now I fell love with the place.it's very motivated environment to workout, and it's for all kind workout style.
