LM Fitness Center — Attraction in Los Angeles

Update I had left this gym over a year ago, shortly after my initial review. I had occasionally followed up and checked online how the gym was doing and saw that some new equipment had been added, leading me to hope that some of my prior complaints had been addressed.

I checked out the facility today and am happy to say, they have dramatically improved the conditions of the gym. The equipment has been replaced, refurbished, and/or repaired. I happened to find some minor equipment issues which I brought up to the staff, who, to my surprise, immediately set off to correct.

Additional weight machines, power racks, and other equipment has been added. Treadmills have been repaired or replaced. In speaking to the staff they also mentioned more outdoor conditioning equipment will be coming soon.

So, revising my review to a 4-star, as there are still some struggles with parking (consequence of location) and improvements to be made with some wear and tear on the leather/fabric of machines, but in speaking with the owner and staff, they are actively seeking to make these repairs as they continue to build up the facilities.

The gym is unmaintained. Every piece of weight training equipment is loose, unsecured (machine and seats should not rock when in use), deteriorated, unlubricated, etc. Each time I try to use cardio equipment it is out of order or on its way to it. Treadmills grind, bikes shake or the pedal is loose and flopping/fighting the machine when use is attempted.

I don’t mind the rust and the grime. I have grown a lot in small, hole-in-the-wall gyms that could only afford a little bit of old equipment. But those gyms maintained what they had.

I’m stuck here as it is close to me, but would recommend finding a gym that actually tends to its equipment and cares about the gym lifestyle over social...

I discovered LM Fitness through ClassPass, and I can’t express how lucky I feel to have found them! I had always heard how important weight training is for women my age, but due to past injuries and a fear of further injury, I was hesitant to dive in without proper guidance. I also always wanted to take more personal training classes, but the cost has been a huge deterrent for me.

So when I was searching for more options to incorporate weight training, I discovered their “semi-private training” format. I’ll admit, I was initially a little intimidated, but once I took the plunge, I realized it was anything but. The instructors are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also welcoming and supportive. And the best part? The other people in the class were just as friendly, creating an environment of camaraderie rather than competition.

The front desk staff is equally wonderful—so warm and inviting, making me feel right at home every time I walk through the door.

As for the classes themselves, they are thorough, challenging, and exactly what I was looking for. After almost half a year of training, I decided to change my entire fitness routine to focus solely on strength training with LM Fitness. I even canceled my ClassPass subscription after 11 years because I knew I had found the perfect place for my fitness journey.

I can’t recommend LM Fitness enough—whether you're new to strength training or a seasoned pro, this is a place that makes fitness feel personal, empowering, and...

I’ve been going to LM Fitness for about 5 months and it’s been a total game changer. I feel stronger, my clothes fit better, and the puffiness/inflammation I used to struggle with is gone. Mentally, I feel more resilient and confident too. I take the semi-private training classes with Jason and Neil, and they’ve completely helped me get back on track with my fitness. Jason is Mr. Motivation, always full of energy, positivity, and is truly eager to see you succeed. Neil makes sure my form is spot-on and pushes me to go further than I thought possible. They are amazing humans and make every workout both challenging and rewarding. The atmosphere at LM Fitness is like being part of a family. It’s super supportive, welcoming, and the staff is friendly, helpful and down to earth. I originally joined thinking I’d just try it out, but now I crave my workouts. What I thought would be temporary has become a lifestyle I look forward to every week. If you’re a beginner or on the fence, don’t be intimidated. I used to think I hated gyms until I came here. Also, the facility and restrooms are CLEAN! Huge thanks to the LM Fitness crew for changing my perspective and helping me feel stronger...
