LA Fitness — Attraction in Yorba Linda

Update: They just spent 1 million dollars on a renovation and all new machines!!!!! Love it!!!!!! Brand new gym for the price of the old one.

OLD Review: Before I recently moved to California, I was a member at Planet Fitness. I switched to LA Fitness because there's one on the way home from work - if I don't go right after work, I won't go! I'd rather still be a member at PF because they have all sorts of services for $20/mo (open 24/7, new machines, tanning, hydro-therapy bed, massage chairs, etc.).

This LA Fitness has pretty old equipment and the lockers in the women's locker room need to be replaced pretty badly - which is weird, because my boyfriend and I paid an arm and a leg when we signed our contracts (initiation fees, first and last month's membership, etc. etc. - for the two of us it was hundreds of dollars). I was very excited about having access to a pool, too, but there are ALWAYS kids having swimming lessons. Apparently you can't swim laps during lessons - which is always, literally. Every single time I try to swim there are kids having lessons or a water aerobics class (after work, early morning, weekends...any possible time someone with a job could go).

In spite of being due for some serious upgrades, though, convenience factor always wins with me. I've never had to wait for a machine (treadmills or weight lifting). The staff is also very nice - I go every day and I've never had a...

I've been to this location of LA Fitness several times, and I've never had a bad experience. Granted, I would always come in the middle of the day during my lunch break when the gym was pretty empty, but I've always left after a good workout.

Located on busy Imperial Highway, this gym is not hard to miss. I don't feel like it would ever get as busy as some of the other locations just because there's a good number of other LA Fitnesses located nearby as well. Workers are quite friendly, and they never have pushed regarding having me sign up with a personal trainer or renewing my membership (which is really nice).

The overall layout is pretty similar to the newer LA Fitnesses, although the machines seem to be a bit older. The upper level of the gym holds all the cardio machines in a big "U" formation that overlooks the weights in the middle of the first floor. There's a basketball court, racquetball courts, a group exercise room, and even a pool.

Cons: -no individual televisions on the cardio machines -smaller lockers -bathroom/locker room a bit old -weight machines are outdated

Pros: -lots of good amenities like racquetball court, basketball court -the cardio machines have individual fans -steam rooms in the locker room

Hopefully they can remodel and update some of their older equipment, but for the times I've gone - the gym has been pretty empty and I was able to get in, do my...

Some of staff are friendly, some very bad. They are doing cheating things , behaviors look like the thieves , they are stealing money from your account without telling you. So caution: don't sign personal training contract with this gym (La fitness located at Yorba Linda). Otherwise your bank account will not be safe. For example, they cancelled my 37sessions which I have paid already, even I don't known at all, and they keep charging my money from my account.....robber! Mauricio is a bad inside ,nice outside dwarf. be care of him, don't do a contract with him, the staff there try to bait you signing a contract and then charge you no reason , if you wanna cancell the contract, Mauricio gonna try to cheat you , scare you to stop! He is a sales man there, but his act is a douche bag , it seems he is the owner there. Old equipments , dirty everywhere! The front desk clerk disrespects members, acts like she runs this gym. Now they have charge me more than $2,000, I just finished 14 sessions, and Mauricio says I only have five sessions left, if I stop my contract , they gonna charge more! It is a scam ! If they agree to stop the contract , they still non stop charging money from your a bank account. Very very be careful, the only safe way to protect your bank account is to cancell your account from your bank, otherwise, once they start charging you, will be hard...
