LA Fitness in Pasadena offers a spacious and well-lit workout environment with a wide variety of machines and amenities. Its friendly and helpful staff enhance the gym-going experience. The gym features an open layout and a well-stocked juice bar. However, a deficiency in cleanliness and maintenance detracts from its appeal. Members often encounter issues like insufficient sanitation supplies, broken equipment, and inconsistent locker room hygiene. Despite its positive atmosphere, improvements in management and basic maintenance are vital.
Frequent absence of paper towels and sanitary supplies creates health concerns, particularly in the context of the ongoing pandemic. Moreover, unresolved equipment issues often disrupt workouts. Heightened security measures would benefit members, in light of recent incidents in the parking lot.

Pros: Very friendly staff! The two guys at the front had great vibes and were so cordial. The lighting is great--lots of selection of machines, and in general well maintained.Cons: I was only there for 1 day, but saw literally 2 sanitation wipe stations that were located in the center of the gym, and 1 of them was out. Meaning if you wanted to sanitize the machine, you had to walk ALL THE WAY to the center of the gym to get a wipe. As a result, nobody sanitizes their equipment. That's so gross! Planet Fitness and In-Shape have stations everywhere by comparison.Good luck finding dumbbells with the weight that you need. The entire rack is an enigma of mismatched weights and sizes. For the life of me I could not find a 20lb set!The treadmills only go up to a speed of 10--so I couldn't really do a HIT sprint workout on them.

Large open warehouse feel. Clean and safe. Friendly and helpful staff. 3 stars due to limited class offerings. Also, opens late on weekends (8am) which is not convenient for me as I’d prefer to be done by 8am.

This is just to raise awareness for people going to the gym. There has been several cars being broken into at this parking lot, targeting people going to the gym. A recent break in knew this particular person left their gym bag in the car and within a matter of minutes, had broken a (tinted) window in the back seat to steal the bag. Cops that showed up said this has been happening in that particular lot several times a month, they are constantly being called. If you ask staff inside the gym, they will tell you otherwise, that its only happened one other time, months ago. The security guard onsite also did nothing, heard nothing, saw nothing and did not even bother to see what was going on when the cops showed up...what a joke. Please be aware of your sorroundings and DO NOT leave stuff in your car.

Read previous reviews and thought people were being dramatic. I have been coming here for two weeks now 6 days a week. There are no paper towels aside from the SINGLE dispenser in the men's locker room (perhaps one in the ladies room as well?) Either way, you are pretty much forced to bring your own towel. This is my first gym experience where they do not offer paper towels. For a business that has all these "health and safety" reminders posted all over but to only have blow dryers? The hypocrisy is funny to me, thankfully I am not a germ-a-phobe. But yes for those looking for a gym just be aware this gym is unlike any I have encountered before when it comes to not supplying paper towels.UPDATE 10/10/23: I've yet to be able to successfully connect to gyms WiFi. It's 2023, please fix this issue. Most hand sanitizer stations have papers saying "Scheduled for Maintenance" but have yet to see replacements or fixes. Also, one less disinfectant wipe station.

It’s my new go to gym! They have a lot of amenities although the weight area is always packed but not a big problem. Have a lot of variety of workout machines that includes bicycles and treadmills with the stairmaster as well.

Update on this gym's sanitary practices. There now are officially No More Paper Towels provided to members. Corporate decision I was told.In this current pandemic they took away basic sanitary supplies. Air dryers are unsanitary and blow germs all over the environment. The chemical wipes now provided have no listed active ingredient content. Imagine smearing unknown chemicals all over your face? I think not.Plus the perpetually backed up sinks but don't get me started.Super unsafe and disappointing. I just hope that they get their act together.Of my local LA Fitness locations this one is a best by far. The layout is open and Airy, the selection of machines and free weights is adequate and admirable.Update: paper towels are a scarce commodity here. They're literally always empty in the men's locker room. And frequently in the workout area too.They keep the ambient music to a minimum of volume which is nice since I like to listen on headphones. The staff at the desk always greet you in a pleasant way. The juice bar is well stocked and the people who work behind it are very nice as well.I really approve this location over their Arcadia gym. Arcadia has gym facilities underground and it gets hot and steamy down there. And not in a good way. The overall clientele in Arcadia aren't nearly as pleasant as the ones in Hastings Ranch. 1 comment however is that the men's locker room could be better maintained. The counters are always splashed with water, Guys are slobs and it shows with paper towels overflowing the wastebaskets, soap dispensers and paper towels empty most of the time. They tried taking away the paper towel dispensers altogether and replacing them with electric air dryers but soon reverted back to the paper towel option. At least 1 single paper towel dispenser. Thank goodness.Quick update. There is now occasional paper towels available. Soap dispensers may or not have liqued soap. But it shows some progress. Down with germs and viruses!Finally a towel dispenser in the men's locker room has actual towels on a (semi) regular basis. Kudos! Soap dispensers work as advertised. Hats off to the corporate big wigs.Big time update! Google wants my opinion once again..Well the paper towels have disappeared once again. Adios! Sayonara! There are No paper Towels available to members at LA fitness. Soap always empty 4 out of 5 sinks. Oh. Did you know we need sanitization during this pandemic? I carry my own paper towels when I go there. Really pathetic5/10/23Just when I gave up all hope of having a nice sanitary place to work out I see a pallet of paper towels! Brought tears to my eyes. My faith in humanity is restored.6/11/23Google demands an update on my experience with LA fitness. So here you go. Sorry to say the paper towel situation has degraded once again and they aren't available in the men's locker room about 50% of the time. Meaning you need to use those unhygeinic air drivers of you must that blow germs all over the place.And forget about wiping your sweaty face or pits, ain't gonna happen unless you bring your own towel.Still no paper towels for several days! Very discouraged to see this

Prefer the one in Portland, the layout just seemed awkward. I did find the staff friendly, and accommodating. The place had nice lighting. Patrons didn't wipe down the equipment as commonly as is done at my local club.

I joined this location in the summer on a 2 month contract and was told it'd be easy to cancel my membership after the 2 months if I talked to them. Their rules mention you have to cancel 5 days ahead of time before your next billing month, so I followed that and went a week before the billing date to cancel. I waited an entire week and a half both calling and going in-person asking to get my membership cancelled, and no management in there was adequate enough to help me get something as simple as getting my membership cancelled. Every single day I checked in to see the status of my requested cancellation they kept making a new excuse as to why it couldn't get cancelled that day, and that they'd call me the next day. A week and a half went by with no one working on my issue even when they lied and said the manager was working on it. Then on the last day of me complaining to them, a front desk lady told me they don't even have a manager that does cancellations. So they lied the entire time. I had to call national member services for them to finally be able to cancel my membership and to complain about the management, and to give me a refund. The management in this location is terrible, and will not help you with your issues.Some separate issues are that the shower curtains are all moldy, so it's very gross. The lockers are disgusting and look like they've never been cleaned off so if you want to store your stuff in there, good luck with that. I've also never seen the gym clean the machines, and the free weights are all out of order and scattered everywhere.

Very good LA Fitness location. Met a very interesting Chinese man. 70 years old but looks very young. The Tesla chargers aren’t working.. That would make this location unique. Sad.The cardio set up is amazing. The jacuzzi has great pressure, but wasn’t clean. The gym goers were mixed ages, races and fitness level. Not the most exciting gym, but the vibe is very relaxed and calm. You can push much weight here. Came on a Wednesday afternoon. Have fun.

Next to no maintenance and poor staff. It's a mess. Look at the photos I posted here.If you go, expect your workout to be 50% longer because things don't work and they don't have enough simple, cheap things like exercise balls, foam rollers and enough free weights.There are broken weight and cardio machines every day (I've been a member for over a year and have never seen 100% of the machines working).There are inoperable water fountains every month or so. Building issues that cause things like flooding. Filthy machines. Heavy bags that are split open. Soap and hand sanitizer dispensers that aren't refilled... The list goes on.Nothing is repaired for weeks and there are some are dangerous issues - like the ancient rowing machines that have frayed ropes which could snap and injure someone.All of this has been reported to the staff and they shrug it off, disinterested.The staff sits behind the main desk, chats with clients, or hides in the membership office cubicles on their phones instead of doing basic things like racking weights that people leave in the middle of the floor.Today there was a puddle on the floor that hasn't been mopped up and the gym has been open for five hours.It's ridiculous management of what used to be a great space.
