LA Fitness — Attraction in La Verne

I often frequent the LA Fitness of West Covina and Chino, but due to some work changes, I've started going to the location in La Verne. The equipment feels cramped. All of it is in good shape, but it still could need an update. The bathrooms are old and need maintenance. The showers have no water pressure like an old 1950 house that needs new plumbing. The ceiling in the showers look unfinished - almost as if they started to renovate but run out of money, and the lighting is depressing. The place is not dirty but has the feel of needing upkeep. One good thing is that it is not too crowded in the mornings, but then again, the equipment is limited, so you still have to wait around here and there. I expected better from LA Fitness.

UPDATED: I now give it 4 starts. I've been coming to this location for 4 months now and it has grown on me.. it is not as busy as I originally thought and even though equipment is limited, I rarely experience any waiting. It is much cleaner than the other locations even though it gives an old gym vibe. People here are very polite and friendly. I now rather come to this location over...

I like this gym, always clean as far as in the morning and afternoons, I havent been there late nights so i cant mention anything about its maintenance in the evening. Only bad thing i have to say about this gym its that their treadmills are not all calibrated to spec, the distance and time are not accurate, some have turn off on me completely while i was in the zone of my cardio runs, really ruins the vibe and someone can get hurt... I brought it up to management attention, but thats the only thing i can say they need to work on... other than that, management is great, and place and equipment is clean. One last thing too, they have a kids club, some of us are parents and have kids and can really benefit from that program, only thing is, the kids club is from 4pm-7pm and with kids out of schoo, the club should be open full-time. I havent gone to the gym in a little over a week since the kids are out of school the current kids club hours are just not working out for us.... they should really do a pool and advertise it... I hope they get the ball rolling with that, if not i might be getting another membership at...

4.5 stars, LA Fit has been my main gym for over a year now, its great but not perfect. Equipment selection is pretty solid and well varied for whatever your workout goals are, sauna is an awesome benefit, staff are REALLY friendly and I know lots of them by name and they greet me personally, and I've made lots of friends with other members of the gym, it's a very friendly atmosphere. They also improved their hours since I started coming here which is great. However, I find that the maintenance staff seems to be passive aggressive and when the gym is busy it is nearly impossible to find equipment. Overall this is a great gym and I would highly recommend, though Chuze La Verne is now my main gym. For reference, I have been a frequent weightlifter and cardio athlete for 2+ years and I have tried many different gyms in the area including golds, planet fit, crunch, fitness 19, and other local non-commercial gyms. My favorites are fitness 19 claremont, this la fitness, crunch across the street is nice, though they have fewer showers and no sauna/steam room, and...
