Could use a little more floor room and equipment for free-weights/cables. These are frequently in much higher demand than the rest of the equipment and even at non-peak hours you might go home without a chance at the equipment you wanted to use. Decent gym otherwise--equipment is maintained and custodial staff keep the place clean. No complaints about staff. One more star off for no dividers between urinals. Cumon guys--this ain't the sixties.

Title: A Breath of Fresh Air at LA Fitness!I've been a dedicated gym-goer for the past 20 years, and last week, I finally made the switch from 24 Hour Fitness to LA Fitness. Let me tell you, it's been a game-changer!My experience at 24 Hour Fitness had become increasingly frustrating. The gym's equipment, especially the bikes, seemed to be in a perpetual state of disrepair. What made matters worse was that the staff appeared disinterested in addressing these issues. It felt like a never-ending cycle of broken machines.But this week, I took the plunge and joined LA Fitness, and I can't help but wonder why I didn't make the switch sooner. It's like a breath of fresh air. The difference is night and day.At LA Fitness, the equipment is well-maintained and in excellent working condition. It's such a relief to hop on a bike that isn't falling apart. What's even more impressive is the responsiveness of the staff. They genuinely care about the gym's upkeep and the members' experience. Whenever there's an issue, they're quick to address it.If I could turn back time, I would have gladly paid the extra money and made the switch to LA Fitness a long time ago. The improved atmosphere and dependable equipment have reinvigorated my passion for fitness. I'm looking forward to many more productive workouts at LA Fitness. It's a gym experience I wish I had discovered sooner!

Gym is in disarray. Staff encourage people to not put weights back after use, dumbbells all over the place and changing areas and restrooms are a mess,dirty with toilets un flushed. Time to get another Gym

The equipment is a bit dated and budget like, the staff is good, and their hours are better now. If not for the improved hours it would definitely rate lower.

needs a wayyyy bigger weight lifting area :/ for $50 a month id expect to be able to lift on busy days with more than 3 seats and 5 sq feet between them to work with. There’s not enough machines to compensate how many people are there, i find myself waiting way too long for machine lines to open up bc if you ask someone if they’re almost done with their set they’re like “yeah but someone’s waiting behind me” so you end up waiting 40mins just to get on a machine, when i went to 24hr Fitness every machine had 5 counterparts to accommodate everyone and even those got filled up, 2-4 non-cardio machines doesn’t cut it. also the basketballs are almost never properly filled and they’re just strewn across the court. insane price for mediocre place. i also had a meeting with a personal trainer who’s rates were $240 a month with a $320 sign on fee. $240 a month to meet with someone once a week is insane. that’s $60 a session that doesn’t even fill the hour. i don’t know if that’s a normal rate however the “test run” i got was showing me four different exercises i already knew and telling me things like “cardio doesn’t work to lose weight” which is completely untrue because i’m an ex endurance runner, the only thing it could hinder is maybe if you’re weight training to build muscle because you’ll need a lot more protein to compensate. it’s also dangerously humid in there, in most gyms i’ve been to it’s always a little cold to counteract the workout you’re about to do. once i get a car i’m going to be switching gyms again because this is ridiculous. there’s also no towel rule and no communal wipes so people just get up and leave their sweat there. it’s gross.

Great gym. Staff is awesome, only issue trainers keep coming and going. I’m on my 3rd trainer not by choice. But all were pretty smooth transition. People that go there are awesome and represent Escondido very well. Locker room small but still a great gym I. The community.

*EDIT* May 2022It pains me to have to update on a negative note as there have been recent activities that have led me to to quit LA Fitness. I must be clear... this has NOTHING to do with the personal training that I have received for nearly a year, my trainer has been phenomenal! This is from the broken and inept system LA Fitness has for their payments and their customer service.Long story short- BEWARE of any long term membership and training contracts with auto billing.I had to cancel my credit card on file for my membership billing and after 7 attempts in person to pay on a different card (their credit machines weren't working multiple times) and one of the visits put $800 my credit cards (they had me keep swiping even tried 2 different cards).After a week and several calls to my banks I finally got it all cleared up, meanwhile a staff member from a different location called nearly daily trying to collect and was extremely unprofessional. If you're confused reading this, so was I experiencing it! Their staff promised several times management would call to assist me with what was going on and I mentioned after all this I want to cancel my membership as I'm exhausted from all of it (and embarrased after being barred from the facility and my training sessions). No one ever called to help and all other staff I spoke with played dumb and suddenly nobody was able to help me cancel or they would explain that nobody wants to help me because they don't want anyone cancelling. So they think making someone upset because they can't cancel with will make them happy and not cancel?I know I'm only one person but please reconsider signing any contracts or committing with LA Fitness long term.This LA Fitness is one of the better locations as they have clean equipment, equipment is tidy and put away often and the staff is friendly. If you're looking for a personal trainer or not sure if it's worth it, go see Devin he is phenomenal! He's very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and his passion for training gets me motivated every time! Since working with Devin I have seen tons of personal gains and I will stick with him at this location as long as he's there 🙌🏼

Been going here about 6 months. Friendly staff, things are clean. Would be nice if there were more power racks. 2 of the squat racks are the non adjustable style. Not blown away and not disappointed. Overall good gym.
