*** Update - from here *** - I used the pool today and there is not a spinning machine to dry the swimsuit - this is a small piece any gym with pool has it but this one... - Locker shelf really sucks... I will talk to manager and update later - 10/16/25 *** Update - to here *** After 6 months... 10/01/25 I have been a member at Planet Fitness, Crunch Fitness, and now LA Fitness in the same local area. LA Fitness is the most expensive of the three, yet it consistently provides the worst overall experience when compared to the other gyms around. Equipment and Maintenance Issues - ​Outdated Glute Machine: The glute machine is an old model, which makes lifting heavy weights feel unsafe and potentially dangerous. Curl weight station are broken. The incline barbell bench shake when you add a extra weight. It is totally loose. And others... - ​Broken Hip Abduction Machine: The machine is old and broken (missing a hand holder). Crucially, the seat cannot be adjusted. - ​Missing Free Bars: Several machines, such as the bench press, are missing their corresponding free bars. This forces members to wait for others to finish using a bar before they can begin their set. - ​Non-Adjustable Benches: The standard benches in the dumbbell area are old and cannot be adjusted, limiting their utility. (Be sure to include photos to show this issue.) - ​No Hip Thrust Machine: The gym lacks a dedicated hip thrust machine. ​Cleanliness and Facility Condition - ​Poor Overall Cleanliness: The gym is generally dirty, especially when compared to other, less expensive fitness centers in the area. - ​Unsanitary Men's Bathroom: The men's bathroom appears to not be cleaned daily. Urinals have been visibly dirty for extended periods, and poor airflow contributes to a persistent, unpleasant odor. ​Staff and Management Observation - ​Personal Trainers vs. Essential Staff: I frequently observe 4 to 5 "personal trainers" sitting idle for hours, seemingly doing nothing constructive. I question the management priority of having so many trainers versus investing in additional cleaning and organization staff to address the gym's significant issues, such as the messy dumbbell area. Good things, - Basketball Court - Clean Swimming pool

Great gym with everything you need! The equipment is clean, well-maintained, and there’s plenty of space to work out without feeling crowded. The staff is friendly, helpful, and always creates a welcoming environment. The atmosphere is motivating, the hours are convenient, and the overall vibe makes it easy to stay consistent. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to level up their fitness.

This was the kind of review I gave to the Stoneham gym before they renovated. Equipment will stay broken for weeks. Weights are never properly replaced. Staff seems inattentive. Cleanliness leaves much to be desired (and yes, it’s a gym, but still.) Overall, it’s nothing to write home about. The location is good for people in Malden and Saugus, who don’t wanna schlep all the way to Stoneham. And the pool and hot tub are maintained… fine. But at the end of the day, the facility has a somewhat depressing vibe. Whether that’s due to the dim lighting or the general rundown state, I don’t know. But I used to prefer this gym to Stoneham (by a hair.) That is no longer the case. Also, whoever runs the spin class keeps the door wide open and blasts the music from the speaker. Either turn the volume down or close the door. When I’m using the treadmills upstairs with my noise canceling headphones on, I shouldn’t feel like I’m inside the room with all the bikes.

The only reason I’m giving 2 stars is because the monthly price is affordable. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The gym is poorly managed — broken machines stay out of service for weeks, and there’s often a 30-minute wait (or longer) just to use basic equipment. Cleanliness is also a big issue; it’s clear they don’t stay on top of regular maintenance and cleaning. If you’re just looking for a cheap membership, this might work, but don’t expect a well-run or properly maintained facility
