LA Fitness is such a great gym for all levels of experience and for all areas of athletic interest. I loved being able to hit the weights and then go for a swim afterwards. A very nice quality facility!

Overpriced and money hungry. LA Fitness pressures people into getting yearly contracts. I have never felt so pushed to buy than when I went take a tour of the facilities. Facilities are extremely nice but I felt very out of element for a new person to working out. Employees were also very rude and I will not be back.

Planet Fitness is another gym I have used back home. I have always been a guest when I go to Planet Fitness, which is something that I think is pretty neat and unique about this gym. However, I took one star away because guests aren't allowed to use all of the resources and services that are offered unless they become a member themselves.

Been a member for 10 years! Haven been back since covid. Tried to cancel over the phone with corporate and the local store, but they needed me to come into the store to cancel. When I get there I am told I owe 80 something dollar because I haven't payed since May. It is June, why do I owe 80 dollar for 1 month. I should have canceled when covid hit, but for them to not work with me at all after 10 years is ridiculous. I will never recommend Planet fitness to anyone ever.

The Final Word
If you are looking for a local gym in the California area that has been in business since 1984, then we would recommend looking at LA Fitness. Unfortunately, there is a $89 upfront cost as well as $29.99 monthly fees which is triple what you would pay if you went with Planet Fitness.
Customers of both gyms have rated them almost exactly the same. If you are going to choose between these two gyms, we would recommend taking advantage of the low pricing with Planet Fitness and at least starting there with the free trial. Planet Fitness has been in business since 1992 and has provided service to a number of people for a fraction of the cost that other gyms charge.
