This gym has a great potential. Brand new German machines, big space, polite staff, long business hours, beautiful design, cleanliness, online reservation system, easy billing.Now the bad part. Today was the he first day I encountered their live DJ music and it is HIDEOUS. Well over tolerable volume (I am talking about eardrum popping blast), trash music. Gym music has a rhythm, a drum or bass and I don’t know who came up with the idea to blast a gym with music that has no rhythm, only people screaming with high-pitched tone with a volume that gives you a headache. DJ Annalog’s music does not belong to a gym.Then. LA county is already in the orange tier regarding Covid, yet this gym refuses to open the locker rooms. Not just they have the water fountains and showers out of service, but guests can not use the lockers either. Since we are already in orange tier and all other gyms have these open, this gives me the impression that JR keeps facilities closed to save on the cost of upkeep. This is especially ridiculous, because they blame Covid for keeping parts of the facility closed, yet they do not enforce masks, which you can see on the 100 maskless tagged workout photos and videos on social media, posted by the narcissists that attend this gym, that are exempt from rules.I signed up very early to this gym and I am a member since day one. I went in before opening, because they put it out on their social media that they had open house and tours. Regardless, I did not get any sort of introduction, and I just had to figure my way around during my first actual visit. Also, from social media I found out that they were giving out goody bags. As one of the first people to sign up here, I wonder why nobody approached me with such thing and it makes me think that John Reed is kissing up to people they consider as “influencers” in order to boost sales, and leaves ordinary guests on the side of the road.Updated on August 7. I am removing one star for the lack of maintenance and for being harassed.The place is falling apart after 5 months of operation and things are not getting fixed. The black leather at the stretching area floor is tearing up, the Amazon fish wallpaper is collecting scratches and and the skirting in the same room separated from the wall weeks ago.Trainers that are not affiliated with the gym, creeping up on people. I have been repeatedly approached by a man that was trying to sell his personal training services inside the facility.Lastly, I have never seen a staff member doing any good here, they never bother to pick up fallen towels or tissues, but they very much like harassing guests. Today the ear loop of my mask broke. I was immediately told to put my mask back by a staff member. He did not bother to harass the dozens of maskless people inside, who did not even have masks, only me, with my broken ear loop.I update this place to a one star on the 5th of October. A staff member is walking around and harassing people about their masks. She is telling people that just put it on and pull it down under their chin, because, as she said “we need to show the Health Department that we are wearing masks.” Regardless of the science of lack of it about masks, this statement and behavior tells everything about JRF that you ever need to know. Edit: 10 minutes after this incident I was approached by another staff member and I was told to pull up my mask under my chin. Psychopaths.Update on June 11, 2022After one year in operation, this “luxury gym” finally hired female maintenance workers so now it’s not men walking in and out while you are trying to change.Most machines are not available even when they are not busy because people store their stuff on machines and racks and walk away.June 12: front desk person is playing with his phone and world not return any greetings and hides towels out of reach.Manager: keep your cocky and stand-offish commentary to yourself. Everything I wrote here is true and if your solution to complaints to remove paying guests, the problem might be you.Shame.

This gym is unreal! The gym equipment is German made, I’ve never seen it in any other gym before. The facility is spotless and very upbeat. The only thing I wish it had was natural light, but I still prefer it over Equinox and will continue to stay and be a member!

The best gym I have ever been to. The fresh smell and interior design made me feel like working out in an art gallery. The rugged gym80 machines are incredibly smooth and comfortable to use. They bring a workout experience to a completely different level.
