| - 'O.K.' club if you're not too picky or persnickity. It's often crowed, but except on Mondays (the busiest day for some reason), it's not too hard to get equipment for a perfectly good weight session without any waiting. I can't speak to cardio equipment as I seldom use that. The club's a bit old and has a bit of an appearance of shabbiness, which might bother some folks, but since I'm there to get in a work out and not to enjoy the ambiance, doesn't affect me. It's noticeable, but not especially offensive. Some folks call this the 'gay LA', and maybe it is, but I wouldn't know, or care. I can't tell straight guys from gay ones anymore anyway, guys have become so much less macho and butch over the past couple decades anyway....so who cares? I'm too old to either notice or give a rip. The crowd here is just fine as far as I can tell...polite, not annoying or pushy. Now here are the downers: Management lets members reserve racquetball courts for their kids to play in. I object to this as a mis-use of these courts, even worse they allow personal trainers to use them as private training rooms...not only misusing special purpose facilities, but also causing damage to the floors from weights and inappropriate shoes. Also their are often a shortage of security lockers. The basketball court is a bit of a joke, small and with a column and water fountain on the playing floor. LA needs to close this gym and build a bigger and expanded on nearby. This gym has 5 racquetaball courts. That's a plus, most times (see above). For an older, crowded club, this place is just fine. If you're picky or precious...look elsewhere I guess.
