LA Fitness offers a variety of amenities at a good value, including modern equipment, group fitness classes, saunas, and personal training. The gym is generally clean and conveniently located, though some equipment found in larger gyms may be missing. The free weight area is small, but the gym has everything needed for a solid workout. The morning staff is friendly and helpful. Many users appreciate that the gym has enough equipment and recommend visiting during early hours when it is less crowded. The gym has a good selection of machines, and overall, it is a convenient place for fitness enthusiasts. However, some visitors have noticed a funky bad smell that can be strong upon entering, possibly from the flooring or equipment. The locker rooms do not smell as bad, but bringing air fresheners might help. Personal training sessions have been successful, with trainers attentive and dedicated, helping users follow meal plans and build confidence. The gym has all the necessary equipment, though some people forget to wipe down machines or put weights back. One inconvenience is that the gym is often not open on time on weekends, despite later hours compared to weekdays. The staff, led by the manager Vanessa, is known for their professionalism, approachability, and dedication to creating a positive and judgment-free atmosphere for all members. The gym's cozy size and community vibe make it a great choice for those seeking a welcoming and well-equipped fitness facility.
I’m really happy with the renovations, it is getting busier at early mornings.
But my only complaint is that the clean staff and gym goers are not helpful to clear the machines, dumbbells or weight plates are all over the place, no re rack, you end up spending a couple of minutes looking for a pair of dumbbells and even longer to unload the plates from bench press / leg press or racks.
In other locations I’ve seen the staff putting away the dumbbells and plates (if they are not super heavy of course)

I get hot when I work out, and they have small ceiling fans and A/C that don't generate enough cool air for me. They closed for 10 days to renovate, got all new equipment, but didn't get treadmills that have fans. They also automatically turn off the treadmills after 30 minutes, which is not enough time for me to get in a decent workout. Disappointing. I'll probably try some classes there but will go to other gyms to use the treadmill.

Fantastic! Went this morning and this place is great. LA Fitness Ravenswood needs to take some lessons from these folks. It’s clean, the staff is super friendly, the equipment actually works and is maintained. Contrast that with LA Fitness Ravenswood- dirty, noisy as hell, equipment in constant states of disrepair and always overcrowded. The only reason I go to the Ravenswood location is because it’s a block away. Well, I will be driving to LA Fitness Edgewater at least for my Saturday morning workouts from now on. Thank you for making this Saturday morning so nice and stress-free! You all are awesome!
