LA Fitness

Great atmosphere and layout. Not usually too busy even during after-work hours. Been training with Jennifer for almost a year, and I love her commitment and energy. Definitely recommend her to anyone who needs that "motivational boost" to get you to whatever your goal is.

Jennifer P is an outstanding trainer. Very helpful and encouraging while getting results. I like the positive attitude and humility - LA Fitness is lucky to have Jennifer P working on their team.

Jennifer has been my personal trainer for almost a year and the results i’ve seen are excellent! I feel and look the strongest I’ve ever been and I’ve learned so many workouts. She is encouraging, helpful, and knowledgeable.

The 5 stars is specifically about my experience with personal training. I had a bunch of sessions saved up from the pandemic and had every intention of cancelling as soon as my sessions were up. However, after training with Jennifer for about half a year, I decided to keep the sessions going.Jennifer is by far the best personal trainer I've ever worked with. She is extremely passionate and dedicated to her craft but very kind and approachable as well.I am very detail oriented and she always takes time to answer my constant questions about anything from lifting form to diet and nutrition to stretching. Most importantly, she's helped to correct my improper form for all kinds of lifts. For the first time in my life, I feel like the workouts I'm doing are actually targeting the muscle groups that they're supposed to.Since training with her, I've lost 20 pounds, over 5% body fat, and most importantly, went from feeling lost and intimidated in the gym to being comfortable and actually looking forward to my workouts. The knowledge I've gained from her is something I will use for the rest of my life. If you are willing to put in as much work as she does, I would absolutely recommend working with Jennifer.

I've been going for almost a year to this location. It is clean and there's usually enough access to all the machines, although at the super busy times I might have to wait a little while for one to open up. The pool/jacuzzi aren't open, which is the main reason for not 5 stars. It's been down since February I think, and while I don't swim weekly, I would like it to be an option.Members and staff are welcoming. I started personal training sessions with Jennifer P. at the same time I started at the gym. We meet once/week and she writes other workouts for me on my own. She's really good at accommodating my needs, either for injuries (like joint problems) or goals (like upcoming 5ks or other things I'm interested in trying.) If I have trouble with anything, I just let her know and she will make sure we set aside time to go over it, or if I forget how something goes she sends me pictures and videos. She's personable and encouraging, and I look forward to sessions with her!

If I could write this review specifically about the trainers, I would!The trainer I have been working with, Jenn, is incredible. She is personable, professional, intelligent, flexible, and talented. She helped me feel great on my wedding day, which I will never ever ever forget. She is so knowledgeable about how to modify exercises to meet specific needs, which I greatly appreciate. She has the capacity to work with ANYONE simply based on her skill and training. I have worked with many trainers over the years, but this is the first time I’ve wanted to keep working with one beyond my original timeline. I will happily continue working with Jenn for as long as she’ll have me!Now, for the gym itself… At this point, I’m staying for Jenn. It’s clear that this location is not as important to their corporate office as the Hazel Dell location. The disparity is MASSIVE, just look at the reviews. A few months ago, the Hazel Dell gym was closed for remodel, so many members came over to use this location. I spoke to many of them, and they were appalled at the state of the East Vancouver location. In classes, I have talked to members who say they only come over to the East Vancouver location when their favorite class instructors are teaching over here. It’s so frustrating to pay such a high membership fee just to have run down equipment, horrible A/C (there is virtually zero air in the upstairs cardio area! Awful!), a moldy pool with no reopening in sight, and seemingly constant turnover of staff. In the year since I’ve joined, there are few if any positive changes that have occurred from my perspective. For example, I’m shocked members were never offered a discounted rate once the pool closed!

Got started with a personal trainer at this gym through their program they have available back this may. So far I’ve lost over twenty pounds in 4 months! Jen P. has been great to work with, very understanding of any scheduling conflicts I’ve had due to my job, and the program she has set me up with has been very effective in changing my physique.

The gym is nice and open, great selection of equipment. The workers there are really nice and are there to help when you need it. One of the workers that stand out is Jennifer, she is a great trainer. I have seen great results!

Love LA Fitness I've been with my Trainer Jennifer since March this year. I'm down almost 30 pounds. The workouts got progressively harder. I love how she was able to identify my strengths since day one and worked around that to build my strength. It's been an amazing experience. I always get three workouts, besides the one I get done with her: all body, upper body and lower body. The gym is always really clean, I see the janitors cleaning constantly. Disinfectants and paper towels are always well stock. I like the space and that equipment is always available. The gym has spacious areas where I can workout on my own when I need to. Highly recommend it.

The gym equipment is outdated. The staff although nice, appear to be distracted and uninformed. The hot tub has been out of order since we joined (over a year and a half ago) with no date to fix. 6 months ago the pool was closed for repairs, we ask frequently when it will be reopened and the workers are quite hostile stating whenever the construction crew finishes. The pool is the only reason we joined. We are not offered any additional information or discount while they limit their services provided.The lack of communication and blant disrespect of their members is extremely frustrating. I highly recommend going else where if you can.
