Which LA Fitness Clubs Have Pools
Pool access is one of LA Fitness's biggest differentiators from budget gyms — but not every location has one. Here's how to check before you join.
A pool is one of the clearest reasons people choose LA Fitness over a budget chain like Planet Fitness — but "most locations have a pool" isn't the same as "every location has a pool." If swimming matters to your decision, verify it before you sign anything.
How to check if your club has a pool
- Look up your specific club's amenities listing before joining.
- Call the club directly and ask — amenity listings online aren't always current.
- If choosing between two nearby clubs, confirm pool access at each rather than assuming it's standard.
What plan tier includes pool access
Pool and sauna access is generally associated with Classic tier and above rather than the base Basic plan — confirm the specific inclusion for your target club, since amenity access by tier isn't identical everywhere. See the full plan comparison for tier details.
What to expect from a typical club pool
- Most club pools are lap-style, suited to fitness swimming rather than leisure/recreation.
- Pool hours can differ from general gym hours — check separately.
- Some clubs also offer aquatics classes; ask about the current schedule.
Common questions about this topic
Do all LA Fitness clubs have a pool?
No — most locations have one, but availability isn't universal, so it's worth confirming with your specific club before joining.
What membership tier is needed for pool access?
Pool access is generally tied to Classic tier and above rather than the base Basic plan, though this can vary by club.
Are pool hours the same as general gym hours?
Not always — pool hours can run on a separate schedule, so check them independently of the main gym hours.
