They lack equipment, they lack sanitizing wipes, And I'm only coming because it's super close to my house. There's only one TRX strap for the whole gym and this week the rope for the sleds disappeared so we can't even do backwards walking. There's like only one handle per cable column and most of them are broken and they're very loud and squeaky. There's only the really heavy kettle balls.Don't get me started on the sanitizing wipes. I've been coming for a few months now and it seems like every week they run out of sanitizing wipes. And then they use paper towels and those overrun the trash cans and run out.( I'll go buy you guys a pack of wipes from Costco if you need the money! )And then there's only like one or two spray bottles for the whole place when they use the paper towels and those run out. There needs to be a box where you could complain about things in the gym so they can fix things quick.

LA Fitness must be short on staff if they cant keep Tacoma's facility clean. The shower curtains have black mold growing, and algae growing on the tiles near the pool, and the hot tub. Completely disgusting! Get with it guys and hire more cleaning crew. Other than that I enjoy the equipment...

I go in the early mornings. The sanitizing wipes are always out and the locker rooms are dirty in the mornings. Today my locker was broken into (it was locked with a lock) and luckily all they stole was my wallet and not my bags and keys. I would not recommend locking anything in the lockers. However I’m giving it 2 stars because at least the staff are very friendly and the equipment is very nice.

Decent gym that I used with a day pass. Reasonable amount of equipment, but it was pretty busy for 10 am on a weekday. For some reason, they had no wipes for the equipment, so I couldn't wipe anything down after I had used it.

These new sanitizing wipes they switched to a couple months ago, are trash. They're so thin by the time you walk back to the equipment to wipe it down, theyre bone dry. So i do not feel comfortable that ANY of the equipment is wiped down or even cleaned properly most of the time. Also 90% of the time theres no wipes 7pm-closing. It doesnt look like they even sweep under the benches or dumbell racks. They only get inbetween them and it looks like only once a week. Its so dirty i swear a dust bunny winked my way before out benching me cuz it was holding the whole bench. These are my only complaints so far. Ive been coming here a few months and I like the equipment and weekday hours. I would like it open later weekends but I'm not really stressing it. But PLEASE LA FITNESS GET THICKER AND BETTER SANITIZING WIPES!!!!! and GET A COMMENT BOX AT EACH GYM! That way I dont have to come here with bad reviews to get your attention! Ive already made my complaints to the staff, so far NOTHING!

LA Fitness and their team of trainers have finally got me on the fitness path I dreamed of getting on again. This gym has a vibe that makes me want to look my best. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Getting back to looking and feeling superbly is worth the investment in my trainer “Amanda” and the monthly membership.

Fantastic gym. 3 squat racks with platforms and 4 flat barbell benches means even at peak times, you usually don't have to wait too long.That said, the hygiene leaves a lot to be desired. Even when the gym is slow, the sanitation stations are often out of wipes or sanitizer, and the bathroom rarely has paper towels, even though there are no hand dryers.

I have nothing but good things to say about the staff at this LA Fitness. I brought a group of kids down from Canada for a wrestling camp, and with our hotel checkout time being so early, the kids would’ve have had the chance to shower before a long 3 hour drive back home. I called this gym with Ayla answering the call and she was so so accommodating. She allowed us to come and shower for free with all of us just needing to fill out liability forms. The staff was so friendly and encouraged if we were back in town and in need of their services, she would help us out again. Although I’m not a Tacoma resident, I encourage people to go to this gym as their staff is nothing but accommodating and very respectful.

* LA Fitness Does Not Have Handicap Parking * Also The 2 Handicap Ramps Are Located In Front Of The Neighboring Restaurant, Not Infront Of LA Fitness *LA.F is a lot bigger location so they're able to offer more services, amenities, and workout machines than Planet Fitness. I feel their staff are more knowledgeable too. As a result, they're slightly more expensive, but I feel it's worth it. If I'm not mistaken LA Fitness will have a wider range of availability beginning 2023 as well. Yes They Have A Pool (Not Deep, No Diving), Sauna, Hot Tub. I really like that they have a secluded room to work out in privacy. Plus they have a few other rooms for sports and yoga. They even have on-site daycare.
