LA Fitness
“TL;DR: Cleanliness 5/5. Equipment 5/5. Organization and replacement of weights 0/5.
Amongst the 4, this is probably the nicest LA Fitness I've been to; Great custodial staff, nice equipment, and good spacing.
My pet peeve with the place is that people so frequently leave weight on machines, dumbbells laying in the middle of the floor, EZ- bars and dumbbells put back in the wrong places, etc.
In pre-school they teach us to put our toys back in the toy bin we got them from, yet it feels like there's a secret pact amongst the members of this gym to drop all etiquette and sometimes even go out of their way to put things back in the wrong places.
Unfortunately, I dont see how this could improve because there are already signs around the gym saying to rerack weights: it just doesn't matter.
I would recommend this gym, but be prepared to rerack others' weights 75% of the time you need to use a machine, and expect the chance that you have to go on a scavenger hunt to see where the weights you need were last used/left.
It's really not a huge issue, it just surprised me as I've never seen it that bad.”
