LA Fitness

Nice new machines, good variety, and hardly anyone at the gym.
I can only assume it was so empty because the staff are so horrible.
I brought a friend and a free guest pass hoping my friend could use it. He was visiting from out of town but I’ve been trying to get him to join an LA fitness.
We show this guest pass voucher to the front desk and the representative rips it up and throws it away, then asks for $ 15 for a 2 day pass. He assumed since my friend was from out of town there would be no selling him so he not only did not accept the voucher but he destroyed it.

Most rude sales people and Manager. Sales person gave 1 week trial and Manager asked while checkin why you need 1 week trial? He started arguing with us about it for 15 min without letting us use the facility. When asked for racket ball court, although we can see 2 courts were available and empty, he refused to offer those saying that those are booked. I am an ex member of LA fitness from IL. I used to love that location and employees there so wanted to give a try for beaverton location but everyone is quite rude. Sales person mentioned to me that racket ball courts are quite free normally during the holidays and off peak hours where as when talking to the manager today while trying to use the facility, he mentioned that its always booked and only one which is available was challenge court where other are playing. I do have an email of «we want you back» from LA fitness and as per that its $ 30.99 with zero initiation with all location access, where as manager said he has a locked in rate for me as $ 31.99 with zero initiation price with only this location access. We don’t need multi location access. All we need was single location access for which even system price is 24.99 with family member add on at 20.99 but this location is refusing to honor that.

There is something very wrong with the maintenance here. The sauna has not been working for quite a few weeks irritating many members. Now the hot tub is not working. Complained about the equipment such as treadmills which are not calibrated and no one bothers to check to see if they are in working order. I reported treadmills shows incorrect heart rates (showing HR255 when not touching and 55 when using it and these numbers don’t change). Without even putting in a report, the smartass at the desk said, she didn’t think this could be fixed. And of course, it wasn’t. What crap. The carpeting is shreading for over a year. The showers are continuously dripping or worse and soap containers are empty. Sometimes the soap is ‘watered down’. Not sure why but I’m not joking. The showers are definitely not clean and lockers never cleaned. Definitely a health issue. Some of the desk staff are friendly but those who are lazy a) don’t smile or say a word and b) place the laser membership reader on the counter as self-​service and with the laser shining in members faces which is hazardous. This is while they are blatantly socializing with other staff. My question to that is: why are they there or being paid? I have asked to speak with a manager but, conveniently, whoever that is, is always missing. I hear members talking and, like me, they are not pleased.

The treadmills need to be updated because they make too much noise when you run past level 5.

I’ve belonged to mom-​and-​pop gyms, Gold’s, Bally’s, and LA. This facility has its pros and cons, but the important things are mostly con. First off, if you are thinking of running the juice bar, insist on a subsidy. Your lease should be basically free. Several people have tried to make a go of it; all have failed because the traffic isn’t heavy enough and it’s not open to the public. Don’t believe their sales pitch – you’ll lose your shirt.
Pros:
Locker rooms are clean, good ball courts and fitness classes.
A good amount of weight and cardio equipment, but during rush hour you will wait to use it.
Low-​level staff are friendly.
Members are friendly and it’s a racially and culturally diverse membership.
Nice pool and spa.
Cons:
Equipment not well maintained. Some machines sat for three weeks for simple repairs.
Crime at this location including thefts in the parking lot and locker rooms. No security cameras, and lax ID checks for guests.
Managers sit at their desks and hardly circulate or offer help or tips. They can’t have that much work on the computer. Maybe they are watching cat videos or ESPN.
The hours are too short, especially weekends and Fridays.
No towel service (the juice bar person tried to offer it but she closed.)
Most cardio equipment is upstairs and the temperature regulation is poor, especially in summer months when it’s hot as Hades.
Besides a better manager, the main issue is that membership fees vary widely. No two people pay the same and a lot of members have «freeloader» contracts from some very stupid past decisions by the parent company. If everyone paid a fair price, there would be enough funds to make everything work well.

Gonna cancel my membership any day now.
CONS:
1. Unsafe parking lot. There was been NUMEROUS CAR BREAK INS at this location. I feel unsafe leaving my car in the parking lot. I’ve seen Beaverton Police parked outside patrolling on occasions… guess this location is a hotspot for theft/​crime.
2. Staff isn’t friendly
2. No wifi
3. Poor weekend hours
4. Cold showers at times
PROS:
1. Classes are awesome
2. Sauna, pool and hot tub are nice
I had high expectations for this gym but unless they turn it around or make it right for me I’ll cancel my membership because I keep getting disappointed.

I am 47 and have belonged to gyms across the United States my entire adult life. From Gresham Oregon, San Diego Ca., Hawaii and even Japan. I was a member of Bally’s at one time as well. A lot of these complaints seem to be personal experiences with the membership verses the actual gym itself, which is still valid and I can’t speak against their experiences. I speak from one stand point only, the facilities themselves. For the money, I love LA Fitness, it has far more equipment that changes up every so often to better equipment, I was a member of Bally’s and was using equipment that was at least 10 years and far greater. A salt water swimming pool and rarely is something broke down for more than a couple days. I have never had a problem with cancelling membership because I really do not want to leave. It is almost always clean. The staff come and go and there have been staff that just didn’t give off a warm fuzzy feeling, but I am not there to make friends, just push myself. Hope this helps.

Today was my first day in this gym, the front desk gal was very very helpful in showing me around the gym. The locker rooms were obviously very clean since it was 530 in the morning. The pool seemed nice. The cardio is on the second floor, but also a few stair steppers downstairs! I really like this gym over the previous one I was at on 82^nd. Gym was started to get crowded by the time I left, but still plenty machines.

I joined LA fitness six months ago under my husband’s account (he has been a member since 2 years). There was an offer of buy down our monthly price to 29.99 from 45 $.we both filled out the application which includes initial payment of some 60 $. My husband never got that offer applied on his application and he has been paying 45 $ from past six months. Upon asking the lady at front desk (Rebecca) she was so rude in helping us. We followed up for six months, called every day, stopped at the front desk almost every day but both customer service and help desk say that it’s not in their hands. They were so bad in responding to our questions. I am surprised with their customer service. we ended up canceling our membership with them. Now they say that they can’t refund us the initial two months advance which we paid while enrolling for their membership. Please note that this month paid has already been deducted from our account just last week and we cancelled our account today. Do they really have an answer for what they are trying to do by making us pay for the service which we didn’t use. I would never recommend anyone to this place.

They have great zumba instructors here. Equipment is ok. Wish they would open later on weekends as I work 2 weekends a month and can’t make it to the gym after work on those days.

Clean and open floor. However there is no towel service and the front staff are less personable than at other locations. Often times this location feels cramped and very busy during the after work rush. The patrons are very friendly and amenable to working around the limited space.

Gym has lots of equipment and high ceilings. More crowded since they bought ballys and limited parking. Staff is indifferent and joining is a pain, but the classes and instructors are good and the location is convenient.

I was on the West Side, where East Siders, unless they hail from Eastmoreland, Laurelhurst or Alameda are often looked down on, and decided to work out there instead of on East Side turf. I knew that there was an LA Fitness in the area and eventually found it. It’s behind the shopping areas on Cedar Hills Blvd., barely north of the multiplex cinema.
Upon seeing it, walking in, and working out, it’s readily apparent that it’s a close cousin of the Gresham club. However, this is Cedar Hills, so everything is a little nicer. That said, kudos to Gresham for having their LA Fitness, which trumps any (chain) athletic club Gresham has had.
Here’s what I found at the Beaverton Cedar Hills Club:
— ample parking
— more resistance equipment and more of it by Nautilus, which I prefer
— very helpful staff
— more of the small lock box type pods in the workout area
— very clean locker room
— bigger L-​shaped mezzanine and Precor 546i machines which have the «old» programs still available on them
If on this side of the river, I would gladly work out here again.

This place is great. I normally go to the Pearl District Location.
Was so pleased to find a LA Fitness near today’s work site.
Great set up, most of the cardio machines are upstairs, so you can watch weightlifters and TVs at the same time. I felt the facility was just right.
There is a nice combination of weights mixed with some other cardio machines on the lower floor in the perimeter. Good variety.
My treadmill seemed rattley, but I had music in my ears, so don’t know about source.
A couple kissing near the weights. Ick! Bad form.

This LA Fitness is filthy. Your health is at risk if you choose to use the showers. Mold growing in corners and piles of hair in the floor drains. I am extremely surprised.

I went back to re-​up my contract with this L.A. Fitness only to be told I had several months owing. I’d cancelled before a long trip out of the country. I was moving to an apartment with its own fitness center (or a poor imitation of one. it has 6 machines and a TV set on the wall)
Turns out I didn’t have a lot of interest in working out by myself on site-​I like the gym environment and I love the pool there. I’ve been recovering from a broken hip and really wanted to hire a personal trainer to give me some suggestions on exercises I could do that would help me get over the Gabby Hayes gimpy limp, the chronic pain and gain some strength in my poor busted limb. I was willing to fork out for a personal trainer-​but they weren’t willing to suck up 4 months of their screw up charges on my account… their loss baby.
Apparently they didn’t cancel my membership-they’d put it on vacation hold (not what I requested) and had, in fact, continued it for several months-​billing a credit card I’d cancelled due to a great episode of having my identity stolen. another long story.
I’d thought I’d straighten it all out a several years ago but NO… LA fitness wanted 4 months of ‘owed back membership’ plus a contract charge plus a big monthly rate boost for me to join back up.
Sorry guys. too many gyms out there to put up with this B.S.
I walked. Bye bye again.
pros-​lots of classes
child care
clean
great pool and water classes (which I wanted)
great locker rooms
qualified personal trainers
cons-​poor customer service. might I say piss poor customer service
see I don’t hate L.A. fitness-​but I do hate their corporate police people who won’t admit that, just maybe, they’d screwed up 3 years ago. I can’t recommend it, sadly, because who wants to deal with this kind of garbage in an industry where there is competition all over the city.

(If I could give LA Fitness 0 stars I would, had a terrible experience to sign up my dad at this gym)
1-​The rates are different for EVERYONE. It seems they play favorites. I know a few members who didn’t pay any initiation fee at all, and some who paid $ 180. I paid $ 99.
2– I went on Monday afternoon and rate was $ 29.99 for my dad for multiple-​club at different states, the next day it bumped to $ 34.99 because THAT morning corporate rates had been updated.
3– they charge you first+last month + initiation fees up front (~$ 200)…good luck with being able to get their «corporate office» stop charging your credit card if you need to cancel and get credit for the last month.
4– I supposedly talked to GM & VP at this branch, both claimed they are not familiar with corporate rules for other states and I had to search on my smart phone to show them terms & conditions (just to show them my dad needs première member and not signature club)
Many people have asked me about LA Fitness with the intention of joining, and I tell them
AVOID by all means.

The best gym ever. I came back to LA fitness after my not very pleasant experience with 24 hours Fitness and so glad I did. The place is super clean, not as packed as 24 (except for rush hours which are usually 5−7pm)and the staff is super friendly and helpful. And they always do have parking available. Even during rush hour, you wait maximum for 5 minutes and there always be a spot (I waited that long only once within last couple of years). Happy to be a LA Fitness member for 7 years now!

Haven’t been here in three years, but seems to still be a nice place with friendly members. Only thing is that they don’t give much advance notice when things will be closed for maintenance.
And they bought out some of Bally’s locations? Rock the **** on!

Beaverton Location: Just give me a membership, cut the trainer package benefits jargon out! I run, I lift — I don’t need a 20 year old giving me the ropes of how hiring a trainer could benefit my current race performance.
Parking is a Betch mang
