EPILOGUE - I have become a full member in the years since first posting a review of Esporta as a guest. My gym usage consists solely of swimming in the pool, which is great - except when it's not, as it is frequently closed because of an astonishing lack of basic maintenance. Keeping a pool (from an above ground backyard unit to an Olympic pool) clear and clean is down to assiduously staying on top of your chemical application, and but for some reason astonishing it doesn’t get done here . As I write this on a Monday morning, the pool is cloudy and closed. One of my confidants gave me a heads up Saturday afternoon two days prior that the pool was getting cloudy. I'm came in the next morning (Sunday) and sure enough it was getting bad. The swim school people cancelled their classes, and 25 mins into my workout the front desk kid came in and informed me and a couple of other swimmers that the pool was going to close. The chemical failures seem to happen over the weekend. These closings, much to my chagrin, occur with a numbing regularity, causing a major disruption to my workout schedule. Yes, I can go down to LA Fitness in Parsippany, but it's out of the way and time is money..... come on, Esporta/LA Fitness, get it together!I'm currently a member of the YMCA, which was closed for New Years. Manager Kevin let me come into LA as a guest to get my swim. CLASS ACT!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this gym, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The facilities are well-maintained, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Breno, the manager, played a crucial role in making my visit enjoyable. His dedication to customer service and ensuring the gym's smooth operation is commendable. I appreciate the personalized assistance and friendly demeanor he consistently exhibited. Overall, I highly recommend this gym.

Whatever you do DO NOT JOIN PERSONAL TRAINING WITH THESE PEOPLE! it will be harder to divorce than to justly end a contract with them. They try to get you making it look so easy, tell you you can bring a friend and split the costs then act like all they said was a lie. They will cancel amenities and not warn you, you can move and they will find an excuse to not end the contract. Plus the gym is not clean. STAY AWAY! Dont say i did not warn you.

The place is very dirty, especially the locker rooms, saunas and toilets. You will never see anyone ever vacuuming the place. You will routinely find paper towels and trash strewn all over the place. Equipment once broken is broken forever. The patrons are also pretty low brow. You have been warned.

I just rejoined Esporta Fitness since Covid. The gentleman who signed me up, Breno, was kind, professional and helpful when I asked questions. That is what I appreciate when I am coming somewhere everyday. A little respect goes a long way!! Thank you Breno.

The gym was okay, but they make you go in person to cancel a membership. I moved out of state and tried to call to cancel over the phone and they were unable to assist me, so now I'm forced to pay every month for a gym I physically cannot go to as I'm 500 miles away. Keep this in mind when signing up.

How this gym has 4 stars on here... I have no clue. Probably because they encouraged members who were walking in one week to fill out some questionnaire and leave them a 5-star review to boost the rating. Don't trust this 4-star google rating! The 1.5 star on yelp is more in-line with what it actually is.I've been a member since 2016 and it's always been mediocre (3 stars) but over the last year it's only gotten WORSE. The place is filthy... currently there is an AWFUL smell emanating from the personal training area in the back by the locker rooms. Not sure if there was a roof leak or what, but it smells like disgusting mildew and bacteria. It's a cesspool. The locker rooms never have paper towels and younger members are constantly vaping in there, making it reek of we*d at all times.I honestly don't even know what the staff does except sit at the desk and say hello because they never go around to rack the weights or MORE IMPORTANTLY monitor the members to make sure they're not breaking the rules. On any given day you can see someone working out shirtless in the main area; a group of 5-6 teenagers filming TikTok's and occupying useful space for others whilst NOT WORKING OUT; members working out on ONE machine for up to 40 minutes while other members are waiting (seriously, I've sat there and timed it on multiple occasions, I start my work out wanting to use the machine their on... move on to do 3-4 other workouts in the same muscle group, all while looking over at the machine I wanted to originally use, STILL being used by the same person). Members will often put some sort of aromatic substance into the sauna, making it unbearable for those of us who suffer from asthma or are sensitive to strong smells. Oh yeah, and there is ALWAYS broken machine, especially the ones with the resistance wires, and they don't get fixed for 3-4 weeks later. (probably being broken by d*** teenagers misusing them, something the staff could catch if they monitored members behaving correctly).I've noticed the cleaning crews are always changing hands. There may be one or two people who are actually going around the whole gym cleaning it for a month or two, only to end up leaving (I'm assuming for being underpaid and overworked), and then another random cleaning crew arrives to do an even worse job. S/o to the man and woman who were in charge of cleaning in May & June 2023, as they were doing an awesome job and actually keeping the gym clean and the paper towels stocked, but they left.As many reviews have stated - no one ever racks the weight and it's impossible to find free weights when you're looking for them, as they may be strewn about at any of the 4 corners of the gym.Seriously, if you have any choice at all, don't pick this gym. I'm at the end of my rope and will be canceling my membership very soon unless changes are made.Management doesn't seem to care either, they lowered the entry fee to $5 for a bunch of crocs and pajama wearing teenagers, while my monthly rate is still where it's been at since 2016 (7x that amount), so it's clear they're just trying to milk it for the $$$, as there is no overhead costs in running the place since they never invest in keeping the place updated or clean.I will say the staff members at the front desk are friendly and greet you and say goodbye to you and if you ever have any questions, they are happy to answer them. But outside of that, this place has no redeeming qualities.Update: it’s gotten even worse. The cable fly machine has been broken since before the 4th of July holiday. It is now well past Labor Day and there doesn’t seem to be any desire to fix the machine in sight. Simply detestable.

When people feel entitled! Holding down several machines or equipment with personal belongings and nothing done about it. I pay membership as well as everyone there but asked to get off a machine because someone stationed their stuff while on another machine.

Shower water is not warm enough during winter. Need more variety group classes especially 9:45am or 11:00am. Open time should be longer at night. Cleaning level need updated in the area group exercise room. Sunday is dirty all over. It is adults gym, but there is starfish kids swim lessons every day, and moms take shower with kids inside shouldn’t be allowed. Sometime boys in women’s room.
