About this Sanctuary

Nestled in a bustling neighborhood, this former Xsport gym, now under LA Fitness management, once boasted a vibrant and diverse atmosphere. It was a sanctuary for fitness enthusiasts seeking round-the-clock access to state-of-the-art equipment, a refreshing swimming pool, and relaxing sauna facilities. However, the transition to LA Fitness has drastically altered its charm. What was once a 24-hour hub of activity is now a shadow of its former self. The air reeks of urine and drug use in the parking lot, while the locker rooms are infested with cockroaches and smell horrendously foul. Equipment is outdated and broken, often left unattended by indifferent staff. Despite some redeeming qualities like the hydro massage, which still offers a sense of tranquility, it’s hard to recommend this venue without significant reservations.
