LA Fitness — Local services in Huntington Beach

I am beyond grateful for Rene, our exceptional trainer at LA Fitness, whose unparalleled passion and expertise have completely transformed my wife's and my fitness journey. As someone who was active in my youth but hadn't worked out in over 20 years, returning to the gym felt intimidating. Rene changed all that with his infectious enthusiasm, personalized training plans, and spot-on dietary guidance. His ability to make every session engaging and tailored to our needs has not only revitalized our health but also strengthened our bond as a couple, making this experience a true game-changer. Rene's dedication goes beyond just workouts; he genuinely invests in our progress, offering encouragement that feels both authentic and motivating. His approach is so effective that our two children, both Healthcare professionals, wholeheartedly endorse the lifestyle changes we've made under his guidance--a testament to his knowledge and credibility. When Rene was briefly unavailable due to personal matters, we tried other trainers, but none came close to matching his energy, commitment, or ability to connect. It was clear no one else could replicate the spark Rene brings to every session. I owe my current fitness level and renewed confidence to Rene's unmatched skill and care. My wife was so impressed that she recommended Rene to two of her friends, who are now seeing incredible results themselves. LA Fitness is incredibly fortunate to have such a remarkable trainer on their team. I also want to give a shout-out to Rene's supervisor, Scott, whose keen insight led him to recommend Rene when we first joined. Scott's ability to match us with the perfect trainer made all the difference, and I'm deeply appreciative of his guidance. If you're at LA Fitness and looking for a trainer who will inspire, challenge, and truly care about your goals, Rene is the absolute best--you won't find...

VERY unprofessional and I will not be returning to this location. I have been with La fitness for many years. I have never had any issues until today. My fiancé and I visited this location to workout. We were working out together when we were approached by a LA Fitness manager. The Male was Caucasian with blonde hair muscular build.

The Caucasian male approached my fiancé and I in an aggressive matter demanding that I not “Personal train” at that location. My Fiancé was unfamiliar with that piece of equipment and I was explaining to her how to use it to prevent her from injuring herself. Instead of him asking professionally what I was doing, he assumed otherwise. I advised the employee that we were working out together like we always do. The Caucasian male insisted I was lying and threatened to cancel my membership. I believe that since I do not look like most people in the gym, being that I am a person of color the employee attempted to humiliate me in front of other gym goers and his coworkers. I am a Police Officer and I have never felt the prejudice that I felt at this location. It’s a shame because the facility is new but it does not matter if minority’s do not feel welcome. I am leaving this review not to shame all the staff but the man who’s probably subjected other African Americans to this same ordeal. I rarely write reviews but I know I am not the first to experience this at this location. No one deserves to feel uncomfortable or singled out due to one...

I’ve had my LAFit membership for a little over a year now. I started with the Pilates add-on for about six months and absolutely LOVED Lizzie’s classes. She brings such positive energy into both you and your workout (and trust me, that doesn’t mean the workout was easy!).

The LAFit app makes it super easy to add Pilates or personal training classes, and when I decided to switch, canceling my Pilates package was effortless. Honestly, Pilates was the best deal because it was unlimited classes. In Orange County, most Pilates packages run about $300 for only 8–10 classes per month, but I wanted to go 4–5 times a week. LAFit’s affordable Pilates add-on made that possible without breaking the bank.

After Pilates, I switched to the personal training add-on, and it’s been over six months now with Zion, Wainani, and Marlinda. They’re my people! They’ve really built me up and kept me motivated.

Of course, I can still use the gym and all of its amazing equipment without any add-ons, but I know myself: I need a guide or I won’t do it.

My only minor qualm is with the pool. There’s an “unspoken rule” of two people max per lane. I’m used to circle swimming, but the patrons here do NOT like that. With only three lanes, that means just six people can swim at a time, so waiting for a lane can be frustrating. It would be nice if there were another “unspoken rule” where those who just want to walk or lounge in the pool could gather in one lane, making things more efficient...
