Esporta Fitness

Fantastic experience: First visit. Ample exercise equipment in a bright, open setting.

Negative experience: Closed on December 6 at 2 Pm

Negative experience: It’s no longer open. Just an empty building. ‍♂️. I just drove out of my way to find it’s sitting there empty. ‍♂️. Yeah. Don’t come here. It doesn’t exist.

Negative experience: Looks shut

Negative experience: They seriously need to fully renovate this gym. I see the same reviews from many here. Hope the management listens!

Negative experience: Please Please Please, tear this gyn down and start over! Instant Ick as soon as you walk in the door. It's really no ones individual fault but the corporate company itself. The building is very old and dated it has been a few different gyms in the last 30 years and its time Its time ITS TIME!!! The company wont do it so its up to us as the patrons to complain for change.

Positive experience: Joined this gym to regain strength after knee surgery and have loved it, warts and all. Alex was wonderful, trainer Isabella was wonderful, equipment kinda worn but whatever I needed was there and it wasn’t crowded. But now alas it is closing and I’m not sure if I’ll keep going. Next closest facility is Perry Hall and I was not impressed at all. The atmosphere is different, it’s smaller, just one level, everything feels jammed together. How I wish they would have done needed repairs at White Marsh and kept it open.

Negative experience: I'd gotten sick and was in the bathroom until 1min after the gym closed and the first thing a female staff member told me as I headed to the bathroom exit was "you need to leave" as if I weren't trying to leave already. Not surprised this place is shutting down with rude and attitudinal staff like that. Never had an issue with male staff ever. I've had repeated issues with female staff either being unhelpful or rude.

Positive experience: I've been a member of three LA fitness gyms (this one, Owings Mills, and Towson). This facility was my least favorite of the three. It's inconvenient that they changed the hours, but I understand business needs. It's sad that they are closing on December 6th, but I'm glad I cancelled my membership last month, great timing

Negative experience: This is probably one of the worst gyms I've ever been to. It used to be Bally's Total Fitness a LONG time ago and it looks like they never updated during or since that transition. This gym literally reminds me of a hole in the wall old high school gym.

Negative experience: Old and worn down equipment. Manager will not reasonably accommodate those on travel for short time periods. Wants to lock you into a contract or pay a steep price. Avoid this place!

Fantastic experience: Eli at the front desk is amazing! Anytime I need help with my membership or anything regarding the gym he’s always very helpful. Very friendly!

Positive experience: I have been attending this gym since it opened in Oct 1990. Yes there has been some ups & downs over the years. and generally have loved it. Though my not be the prettiest (1980s architectural time capsule), the gym has all of the (robust) equipment needed for a good workout. And a great indoor track. I am sad the Alex has left LA Fitness, he was one of the best operations managers. Including Rachel and Michelle. :-)

Fantastic experience: Alex, the manager at LA in White Marsh Md is the BEST manager ever! He truly loves his job, cares and attends to the needs of his clients and always works so hard. Still fighting to get us AC in the gym classroom- which hasn’t worked in years! Unreal that our workouts are often in 90 plus degree heat! LA is very fortunate that so far no one has died from heat exhaustion. But not fault… He’s tried every possible avenue within the LA corporate system to rectify this. LA has never done a thing. Needs new air conditioning before someone tragically becomes ill or worse!!

Positive experience: You can tell this gym peaked in the past and has future potential. Been going for years now and witnessed it evolve along the way. If there was increased attention to maintenance and cleanliness I would have to 4 star rating. Pros: Spacious 3 floors, suspended indoor track, good selection of equipment, friendly staff Cons: Sauna is subpar and feels like it’s never hot enough like a sauna should be, leaky roof when it rains and buckets used to catch water, too many “sewer flies” in the pool area and bathrooms. Lastly there is wasted space for a snack bar/smoothie bar. Good thing about this gym is with good management these changes are doable to get to 5 star potential. This LA fitness should look at surrounding area LA fitnesses and meet similar standards

Negative experience: This location needs a full transformation we are paying decent money and LA Fitness is not investing back in the building and equipment.

Negative experience: Gym is gross. Do not come to this location.

Negative experience: Desperately in need of repair. 1/2 of TV’s don’t work, machines broken and no caution signs on them. Lawsuit waiting to happen

Fantastic experience: The equipment is excellent for serious bodybuilding. It is far superior to what you find at Planet Fitness. It's a gym, not a resort, which is a big deal for people who don't know the difference. It is well organized, and the equipment is properly spaced, so you don't feel cramped in. The free-weight area is great. It's a big plus if you like handling heavy weights or want to follow your own natural path of motion. If you're an older person and remember the atmosphere in gyms from the 70s and 80s, you'll be right at home. Don't buy into the negative comments. They come from people with limited experience using exercise equipment or training with weights. The cost is very reasonable considering what you get in return, and the management is very friendly.

Negative experience: Ive been going to this gym for about 7 years, what made me write this post is that the gym is steadily declining rapidly. It is always filthy dirty, no upkeep or maintenance, money or anything has been put into this gym in years. Broken equipment all of the time, the sauna might as well be a walk in freezer. You can for sure tell a difference in this place especially since the new la opened last year on belair road . Could see this place closing within a year.

Negative experience: Tried to cancel my membership at White Marsh, staff indicates that it cant be cancelled because the manager is out sick....What....I was going to be nice, but now I have to make it worth my while.....

Negative experience: Wanted to get a membership here but after trying it out I’m going to keep looking around, the locker room was dirty, the pool had things floating in it, and the equipment was old and outdated

Negative experience: This LA has the nastiest locker room I’ve ever been in. The shower stall was just disgusting anll in the cracks of the tiles were black !! and may I say it just looks so outdated. I went there yesterday and figured there’s no way I’d respect myself If I ever went back. The water fountain by the pool is rusting and looks moldy the water is hot and taste like it comes directly from the pool. The staff and members we kind but that was about it. I didn’t work out I was just simply to disgusted to stay any longer

Fantastic experience: workout time!!

Fantastic experience: Shout out to Andrew, and staff. Great gym with lots of honesty and integrity.

Negative experience: Unrecognizable as an LA Fitness if not for the signage. Machines are apartment or hotel quality, looks like it hasn’t been updated since 1987. No signage, no dumbbells. Nobody wiped anything down and hogged 3-4 machines at the same time. Staff seemed nice enough but not worth coming back to with other locations not too far away.

Fantastic experience: I had an experience at a club that made me uncomfortable...I sent an email to the contact listed on the web page and received a call from a gentleman named Alexander that went above and beyond in ensuring the situation would never happen again. I initially was thinkin about finding another gym, but Alexander rectified the situation and now I'm comfortable in saying I'm staying put! Thank you LA Fitness Manager Alexander C !

Fantastic experience: excellent staff and fully equipped gym.

Positive experience: A little bit dated branch... Ridiculously low water pressure in the shower!!!

Negative experience: They need to shut this location down and rebuild because the equipment is outdated rusted the women's locker is un kept and for the life of me why is the sauna shared with men this is very uncomfortable and it stinks in here

Positive experience: It's been quite a long time since I've been there, so I went toward the end of March and everything looks pretty much the way I remember it however, I've noticed it seems that there were multiple things in disrepair the first thing I noticed was the parking lot had a lot of debris and trash around it and it looked like it had been sitting there for quite a while the Landscaping was Full Of Weeds where it used to be kept clean, it was a very rainy day and in multiple sections in the building there was rainwater getting all over the floor and they were trying to catch it with trash cans I don't mean just one or two trash cans I mean multiple cans including it was Dripping on some of the equipment. Some of the equipment I noticed were broken and unusable other ones too padding was worn through and torn. There used to be a little snack bar there that's completely been abandoned.

Positive experience: I love my gym and have been a member for 40 years! Th employees are great, and I love it's not crowded! The only complaint I have is that there is equipment that has been out of commission for some time.

Fantastic experience: I haven't been there but I know it's going to be nice

Fantastic experience: Check-in is quick ! The employee helping me set up the la fitness scan app I love Check-in is sooo much quicker!!! Oh yeah,oh yeah, and the place is so much cleaner !!! But my favorite best off all is the hot tub!!!

Fantastic experience: great staff! great facility!

Fantastic experience: The gym is super clean and the staff is super accommodating.

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at LA Fitness White Marsh! The facility is older but the atmosphere is always motivating. DJ, the manager, is exceptional at his job and an excellent trainer. The staff is helpful and courteous. Highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: They have every equipment and amenity you’d need. Great ambience, and even greater customer service! Thanks DJ :-)

Fantastic experience: DJ helped us with everything we needed to get started. It’s more affordable than the gym I previously was at & has a good workout atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Best gym around! Super clean and spacious. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The General Manager, DJ, is awesome and keeps this place motivating. I love that he remembers the regulars that come through which makes the workout experience that much more nice.

Negative experience: Very poorly maintained facility, scum marks in the pool, out dated locker room, weights are scattered everywhere, lights out in the one racquet ball court, zero ventilation in the basement, no radio playing in the basement. That being said the weight lifting machines are good and nice personnel. Basically just drive to the perry hall LA fitness and it is 100 times better.

Fantastic experience: Very nice and clean gym

Fantastic experience: Gym is cool…Dj and Kobe is the best trainer

Fantastic experience: This was the 2nd location I ever been to and it’s so welcoming! The staff is great, attentive, and super fun.

Positive experience: Nice gym good prices and admire. I'd suggest offering towels otherwise great gym

Positive experience: Most of the equipment at this location needs to be upgraded. Machines that need repairing never get replaced. When this place converted from Bally’s to LA Fitness, the only thing that changed was the name.

Negative experience: A good friend of mine had her introductory fitness consultation done here, and without asking or receiving permission, the trainer explicitly told her how “overweight” she was according to her BMI (which everybody knows is a poor representation of bodyweight or fitness), how much weight she “should lose” and also “needed to lose,” in addition to telling her her body fat percentage using a BIA handheld (which is also not particularly accurate without following a protocol). Despite sharing all of this sensitive information without asking if she wanted to know it, the trainer neglected to ask anything about health, medical or training history before taking her through an initial training session. As someone who works in the fitness field, I felt this was an embarrassing and unfortunate representation of what having a fitness assessment and “expert” trainer should be about.

Negative experience: Before I start I would like to say the staff was great and very nice. The 1 star has nothing to do with the employees and everything to do with the equipment and environment. With that being said this is possibly one of the worst gyms I’ve ever been to. No dumbbell area, squat racks, benches, or free weights in general. No real organization to any of the equipment in the gym. Just random equipment everywhere. I’ve been to other LA Fitnesses and they’re good gyms. You can very much tell as soon as you walk in the door this is a dying branch.

Fantastic experience: Great place thank you

Fantastic experience: Great service!! The best trainers around.

Fantastic experience: DJ was very helpful and clear. He gave us a very informative tour of the facility.

Fantastic experience: this gym it’s great I love to come and work out here

Fantastic experience: Nice equipment and the staff is fantastic. We enjoy coming to this gym.

Fantastic experience: This gym is a really great gym with friendly staff, Vianca was very helpful in getting me and my friends signed up and she was very friendly.

Fantastic experience: I always enjoy my visit at LA fitness! The staff is very friendly & professional. Vianca is very helpful as well.

Fantastic experience: Best gym a been to so far, all the staff member at great and helpful and everything is well sanitized

Fantastic experience: Love it here! The Staff there make you motivated to come and work out.always around to help ! Pool is amazing too

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing it changed my life it made me much stronger

Fantastic experience: DJ IS THE BEST !!!! He showed me the in’s and outs of my new membership and an excellent tour and I’m really excited to be at this gym !!

Fantastic experience: The gym is clean. The staff is amazing. The manager DJ is extremely knowledgeable and helpful!

Positive experience: Been going here for decades. It's a decent gym, but it could use a little TLC and maybe some machine upgrades.

Fantastic experience: The team here is great! I love coming here. It is the best gym. DJ and Ace and Kobe and the team ate great

Fantastic experience: Best Gym ever. Full of equipment and a therapeutic pool. The only La Fitness I have seen with an indoor track! I love it

Fantastic experience: I finally found my favorite hammer strength equipment here and the track. This gym stands out from all others. Dj and the staff were great!

Fantastic experience: DJ and his team are extremely efficient in their efforts to train, welcome, and provide motivation for all of their clients! I am happy to say this is my home gym.

Fantastic experience: This location is an old Ballys location but has made the transition to LA Fitness easily. It has the best back and leg equipment and the manager Alex is awesome. See you here

Fantastic experience: Great gym, along with superb staff members readily to assist individuals. To elaborate, Asa was one of those superb members always there ready to assist and show me lifting techniques.

Fantastic experience: Good morning. The gym was very well kept and the staff was attentive and on top of their game. There was a specific staff member named Asa that chopped it up with me for a while and gave me some good advice on working out. I’m an old timer and new to the gym, so his hospitality definitely made me feel at home. Looking forward to a future at this gym.

Fantastic experience: Since being a member April/2023 I’ve had nothing but positive experiences at this location. The entire staff as well as the Manager DJ has been exceptionally amazing. I have been training with DJ for about 4 months now and my results have exceeded my expectations. I’ve tried other locations and they just don’t pass the vibe check I get when I walk into WhiteMarsh

Fantastic experience: Been coming here as a guest for a while. Just recently became a member. All the staff is extremely welcoming and kind. Plenty of clean equipment and an indoor track. Viancia was especially helpful when guiding me around the facility and answering all my questions!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this location for a couple of months now. It’s very convenient for me, I’ve learned a lot, its clean, and I like it. One of the few that has an indoor track. Great atmosphere! The staff is always nice and friendly. Management DJ is awesome, always willing to answer any questions of uncertainty you may have for your workout routine and does not play when it comes to your trainings. He’s going to push you as well as motivate you at the same time with a workout just right for you. Health is wealth. I have no issues.

Negative experience: everytime here sucks, all the equipment says “scheduled for service” and they have yet to be fixed, on top of that all the leg machines are out. they need new equipment.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member here forever and still absolutely love it!!!! . I started working with personal trainers Kobe & Shannon and they are fantastic!! The training and conditioning they have me do has really helped improve my strength , cardio, and over health!!!❤️

Fantastic experience: I love coming to this gym. The entire staff is wonderful, but especially Shannon! Shannon is a master trainer through and through. She is so knowledgeable about fitness and anatomy and has you leaving every session feeling strong and determined to push yourself even harder. She cares endlessly about her clients and makes you feel comfortable and confident in yourself through her upbeat demeanor, she will help you have the best training session of your life and also have you laughing and truly enjoying yourself at the same time. Her passion towards fitness is evident and motivates you to want to do your best every single day.

Negative experience: The staff are friendly and the spin class instructor is good. There's a lot of room for improvement if you compare it to other nearby gyms, but that's mostly due to age. You can tell that the equipment and facilities are pretty old. There doesn't seem to be any air circulation in the free-weight room downstairs. You can still get a decent workout with the available equipment.

Positive experience: Сауна большая но холдная.Две печки совсем не и работали.Проседел 5 минут замёрз и пошёл греться в душ.Неудобные шкафы враздевалке.не все замки подходят.в джакузи не пошёл не хотел дальше разочаровываться.и ушёл приняв только душ.

Positive experience: Good selection of equipment...water fountains dont always work...

Positive experience: Cleaners are always cleaning the place and equipments.

Positive experience: Staff is nice. Gym has what you need

Negative experience: This needs to be torn down and rebuilt immediately… this location makes any planet fitness seem luxury

Positive experience: I've been a member for many years the place does what I need and the place is always kept clean the management is always friendly

Positive experience: Member there for many years. A good gym to work out. Variety of routines to do.

Fantastic experience: I was here and loved the pool and the spa (whirlpool) and plenty of equipment to workout on and a track to walk on or run..

Positive experience: Enjoy working out here but sometimes it's not clean. Always wipe the equipment before and after using their equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great customer service every time I come here from Alex, Omari, and Dj and the trainer Kobe and Charles are outstanding thanks to them I am closer to reaching my goals.

Positive experience: Nice gym some of the cardio machines are outdated and a little warm in summer but overall great employees and atmosphere

Negative experience: The parking lot is pitch black. No outside lights, not even on the sign. I called and asked why there were no lights in the parking lot. A fella named John answered, and he could care less. On top of that I couldn't even make out anything he said. Very dangerous, use cation when coming or going..

Negative experience: The sauna it is not working and I called and they gave me the lie that they had already repaired it… please if you don't know just be honest! I wasted my time on there

Positive experience: A little outdated but overall it's okay. However the sauna is a joke. Very rarely does it feel like it's above 85 degrees and takes about 20 minutes to break a sweat

Negative experience: The manager that gos by the name of DJ Legacy on his private page decided that on member appreciation day that it wouldn’t be a good look if our clients showed up because they are of a certain class of people. Totally disrespectful and distasteful at the least! I would never recommend anyone signing up here!

Negative experience: Came in with the three day pass. Former member at a branch in laurel and in Virginia before that. I stood at the front desk for a minute or two while it was unattended I have to pull someone from the office as they where chilling on their phones talking to each other I told them I’m here with the 3 day pass and would like a tour they told me to scan in and then walked away. So I spent a good 15min of what was supposed to be my work out asking other members where things where instead of being shown by the otherwise lazy staff

Fantastic experience: Clean, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Machines for every part of your body you could imagine. I always walk out of there, feeling like I could lift up the whole building.

Negative experience: I am 13, when I went to check in, this one staff member asks my age. He says that if ur under 14 "you have to leave". So I ask if I'm 14 I can come right? He replies yes. So when it's my birthday, at night ,(I'm 14) I walk in and he asks my age and I say I turned 14 today. He says you must be older then 14. So I reply saying (and it's surprisingly the same person) so I say "I thought u said I gotta be older then 14", he replies saying "oh well I been working for 2 years I know all the rules it's not my fault if you dont know all the rules" so after this event I cancelled my membership but before I do I ask his name. He says Christopher, I don't know if he is lieing but the staff really needs to talk to him. After this problem I just moved to planet fitness, at least they don't have bad staff.

Negative experience: This facility is subpar. Minimal equipment, no signs to show where things are, the equipment is in poor quality in the free weights area, free weights area is like it was an after thought, and all around disappointment based on the $20 day pass. As someone who travels a lot it would be nice to have something a little more convenient when I come to this area.

Negative experience: I like the layout. The gym is never clean. Most of the time you have to hunt for the dumbbells because they are everywhere. Anytime you want to use a bench or squat rack you have unrack the last person's weights.

Negative experience: This is one of the worst LA-fitnesses I’ve been to. Unfriendly staff, missing equipment, broken equipment, lack of weights, multiple tiny/confined weight rooms that get crowded quickly and just an all around terrible set up. The gym is set up like a maze where you have to go to different isolated rooms, up and down stairs, just to target the same muscle group in your workout. The free weight section is a tiny room in the basement that’s more akin to working out in a dungeon and little cell phone reception as a result, making it difficult to listen to music off your phone. LA Fitness in Towson is only 10 miles away and much better. I’d recommend going there instead.

Positive experience: The staff is always friendly. The gym is not always as clean as it should be, and amenities like the sauna, hot tube, or even hot water for showers in the locker room are often broken.

Negative experience: This gym makes my skin itch. It's super dated, the machines are all rusted and clearly never wiped down. The showers seem too rarely be cleaned and i wouldn't touch the jacuzzi with a 10 ft pole. Compared to other LA Fitness, the closest being towson, this one just needs a full renovation. They have the space but everything just feels old and sticky. Not worth the membership.
