4438 E. PACIFIC COAST HWY.
LONG BEACH, CA 90804
they give out free passes and then demand money for them, the staff is complete. I didnt mind the $30 (for one trial workout, as the manager said) I first went to fitness 24 where I got a trial workout and looked at the conditions. There are just unpleasant people, a non-working sauna which is supposedly regulated by the administration, the pool is not particularly pleasant to swim in, there are no tiles on the floors in the showers and there are some kind of boards lying around, there is mold in the showers. In general, this place turned out to be even worse than Fitness 24, according to the pictures the place is top but in reality I dont want to go back , the client is wrong here

Been going to this gym for a couple of years. It was fine at first but in the last year the quality has gone way down. The bathrooms are disgusting. The air dryer to dry your hands was broken for 9 months before they fixed it. It honestly just feels very dirty here now.

Im excited to share my experience today and hopefully help lead the next person in the right direction. Ill start by saying I dont recommend LA FITNESS PCH nor Isaiah, one of their representatives. The infrastructure needs repairs and pest control. Isaiah was dismissive and wasted time. For those who dont wish to read further heres some alternatives, LA FITNESS Bellflower or my favorite ONE BODY STRENGTH & CONDITIONING 5 mins away, save your time folks!
Storytime... After starting a new membership with LA Fitness PCH (Angeles was helpful), I received a call from Isaiah who said he wanted to set an appointment to check my BMI and provide nutrition resources. I thought, "Wow, this sounds like a huge advantage, sure." He made arrangements to come in early at 8:30 a.m., even though his shift starts at 9 a.m. I arrived for the appointment at 8 a.m., and the receptionist recommended I check out the sauna, which had just received updates. I'm all about the sauna; it's the main reason I joined, so I was excited for the improvements to the wooden benches. This is where my experience takes a turn.
I won't dwell on the negativity, just state the facts. I went to the ladies' locker room and laid my bag down on the counter, and ladies, there was a roach on the counter, I kid you not (immediately clutched pearls). I thought to take a picture, but I decided to stay focused on positivity. I proceeded to the sauna, expecting to see updates, but there were no improvements as aforementioned. As a matter of fact, there were crickets and other tiny insects scurrying along the floor. It was absolutely disgusting.
As it got closer to my appointment, I went to wait in the lobby for Isaiah. I waited for maybe 10 minutes, and Isaiah arrived. He was welcoming and started by asking me about my day. I mentioned that I had just finished a workout with my trainer (One Body Strength & Conditioning), and he said, "Oh, you already have a trainer?" It was at this point that I realized our meeting was a consultation for him to train me. He proceeded to weigh me and asked about how I felt about my weight. I told him it could be improved. He then asked my age, and when I said "I don't do age,"(I wasn't rude its a personal quirk) he looked at me awkwardly and said that defeats the purpose and there's no need to move forward. He politely shook my hand, and I was left shocked.
I shook his hand and turned to walk out. My thoughts were that I arrived early with the expectation to discuss nutrition, and after just 5 minutes, he said he couldn't help me because I wasn't comfortable providing my age. He didn't even attempt to explain why age was an important factor; he just dismissed me.
I'm seriously tempted to dismiss LA FITNESS altogether and cancel my membership. Fortunately, there are neighboring gyms that provide better service. I try not to say never, but I honestly don't see myself returning to the PCH Gym, and therefore, I do not recommend it. It's worth noting that the receptionists are not as welcoming as you may experience at the Bellflower location as well.
In the event I do decide to return, I will take pictures and update this review. Until then, don't waste your time, people. We go to the gym to improve and get better; we can't be affected by the poor mindsets of others and poor-quality surroundings. Instead, consider trying One Body Strength & Conditioning; it's worth every penny.
I am open to being reached out to, if LA FITNESS-PCH leadership wants to connect.

I believe this facility needs a better management to address important issues. Members rarely re-rack their weights and no reminders are posted on the walls or communicated over loud speakers.
The music system is horrible and it has been neglected for long time despite several reminders. Ongoing static (sound like a thunder storm), volume level goes up & down, interruptions and sometimes you hear a talk show going on. I asked whats the issue with the sound system; I was told they have no control over it dont understand why management cant look into fixing this issue.
Additionally, they allow members to bring their own personal portable music player and blast the sound volume which is not only annoying and disturbing to other people but also conflicting with Gym lousy music that is barely working.
