My husband and I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with Braden and the LA Fitness at Bakery Square. The gym is very clean, every type of equipment we would ever need with convenient parking. It’s a very welcoming and not intimidating location with all ages and all levels of fitness present. We highly recommend this LA Fitness on Penn Ave in Bakery Square.
About LA Fitness
LA Fitness offers a wide range of amenities at an outstanding value, featuring state-of-the-art equipment, group fitness classes, a pool, saunas, and more. The gym provides a welcoming atmosphere, with friendly and helpful staff who are dedicated to creating a supportive and motivating environment. Members have access to a variety of free weights, lifting stations, cardio equipment, and spin classes, as well as personal training. While the facility is clean and well-maintained, some areas feel a bit dystopian, with the pool out of operation since 2020, and limited equipment like kettlebells and resistance bands. The gym has many machines, and during sales, membership costs around 30-40 dollars. The staff is friendly, but some classes, like Pilates, lack proper instruction and equipment introduction, which can be concerning for safety. There is a need for beginner classes to ensure proper use of equipment and techniques, as rushing through exercises can lead to injuries. Despite the large size, some equipment, such as the prone hamstring curl machine, may be out of service for a long time, leading members to consider switching gyms for better access to certain equipment. Overall, LA Fitness helps many members achieve their fitness goals with a supportive environment, though improvements in instruction and equipment maintenance could enhance the experience further.

I had a question late in the evening, and even though it was close to closing, they didn't hesitate — they knew exactly how to help and handled it professionally. I also noticed the bathroom was cleaned immediately during my visit, which shows real attention to detail even during the last hours of the day.
Employees like this are the reason people stay loyal to a gym. Corporate should take note — staff… read full review
Braydon was super resourceful! I loved Sydney’s Pilates class, I will be coming back. She’s an excellent coach! You will always leave feeling like you got a good workout!
