Life Time Fitness

I don’t get why people spend so much if they aren’t going to «work out.» I’ve only been here once and it wasn’t a pleasant experience. It seems this is a place for people to just join to sit by the pool and not do anything else. Very stuck up atmosphere and I prefer gyms that people actually sweat at. Any place where you can order freaking ice cream at the pool isn’t a gym.
Save money and join the community center.

Ok, we have been members here, our entire family of four, for 7 years since August 2008. Weve decided to drop our membership and find somewhere else. There are several reasons for this. Ill start by saying that I really like some aspects of this club such as the large beautiful outdoor pool which is great in the summer, and the really nice locker rooms!
But, the cardio area is honestly, disgusting. It used to be so nice and clean in 2008 – 2009??? How can the locker rooms be clean and the cardio equipment be so horribly dirty all the time? I literally noticed that the same nasty papertowel in a certain crumple was left on the same elliptical for 3 weeks plus without being removed by anyone. The amount of dustand dirt on the pieces of equipment is just unacceptable.
The weightlifting area constantly smells like damp dog in the summer. Not sure if this is an issue with ventilation or what.
And the club does not allow me to bring my 4 year old son with me into the womens locker room. Yes there is a family locker room buy during every weeknight and weekends during the summer when they have swim lessons it becomes very very crowded and theres no room at all to change or shower.
In addition the indoor pool, unlike the outdoor pool is very dirty and when we get out our skin always smells like sour feet (not like chlorine its a different smell our skin never smells like this after getting out of any other pool in the area we have used in several years.
When i asked the pool director when the last time was they emptied and refilled the pool (which should be every two years) they said they did not need to ever empty and refill it as there was no law to that effect. She said in the 3 years she had been there it had not bern done (then a week later she said it was done last summer which is not true bc i was there and it never happened)… Not impressed. So we r off to find a cleaner place to workout. Good luck to us I guess. :-(

This is a club, not really a gym. The facilities are very nice and for the most part are well maintained. The staff attitude has improved significantly from the time we joined more than two years ago. You have to visit the club several times a week to justify the high price. The main problem with the club is that it is getting very crowded specially every January (new year resolutions), it is hard to find an open treadmill, an open lane in the lap pool or just space in the basketball courts. There are also teenagers roaming around the club bullying people. In the courts, there are usually a couple of teenagers kicking soccer balls as hard as they can around people or to see if something breaks, it is incredibly annoying.

My issues with this place have not been resolved. The day after I wrote the first review I called corporate and I was told our membership was standard and there were no extras. We joined the weekend of Black Friday specials and were told we would get 300 LT bucks, 2 free workout bags and a free training session. The sales person also agreed to waive the administration fee if we joined right then. We were charged the admin fee, we never received workout bags and only I have received the LT bucks. My boyfriend has never received his LT bucks.
When we joined we were told they absolutely maintained their equipment. They don’t. Several machines, and a water fountain were broken. If you read my last review, I mentioned the ONE leg press. It’s not even a good leg press. I also mentioned the bolts were loose. When we were there Saturday night trying to do legs it was broken. On some of the machines the numbers are worn off. You have to guess at the amount of weight you can do. Since the machines have not been well maintained, some of them, even though they may work, don’t work well.
This «high end» club has dirty towels and paper towels everywhere. Nobody racks their weights so it’s hard to find what your looking for. It’s just very poorly managed.
We’ve worked out at the club on Preston in Plano a couple times. It’s a better club. The equipment is better and seems to be maintained. The thing I didn’t like about this club is there are little kids on the weight room floor screwing around on the machines fairly often. A couple weeks ago, there was a lady with 4 kids ranging from 2 to maybe 12, she was letting them run around the weight room and play on the machines. 12 and under are not supposed to be allowed on the second floor.
Again, if you’re serious about weightlifting, I don’t recommend this place.

Very nice clean gym. I have been to the group yoga classes and the spinning classes, I wish the yoga room was larger, but it is very nice. I enjoy going to this gym and highly recommend.

Kids activities are nice! LifeCafe is always a life-​saver when in a pinch for time!

It’s a nice facility, but way too crowded. The daycare is so packed and poorly supervised, I finally quit. The pool is nice, but once again, can’t find seating. They just take in as many members as possible and don’t care about service.

I enjoy going here. Everyone is nice and asks you how you’re doing. I go 5 days a wk and they still are able to pick me out among the hundreds that do also. Kevin is the guy scanning the cards right now and is so nice. I never have to wait for a machine and I always feel like I got a more than enough workout. Kim, a trainer, is wonderful and focuses on weights, which I love. She has been nothing but nice and offers advice even though I haven’t taken any lessons from her. All the trainers are nice and try to help if you’re not using a machine right. My kids use the child care center and love it. They will take your child to class, if they one, and pick them up and bring them back to the center. They love playing with all the kids, especially when they get to go outside. Make sure to remind them your kid has class though! I will eventually try out the classes once my kids are older. I hear Zumba, yoga, barr, and the new MAA class is awesome.

Love Michelle classes. Ruth spin class are fun, the music is a great variety. Shea spin classes are great too. Ginger is a doll! I love Matt, the managers colossal friendly personality. Ed is always scanning the cleanliness of the building, gotta appreciate that. Flatbread in the café is delicious. Now, the spa on the other hand, the staff are never friendly.

Lifetime has it all! There are cheaper gyms in the North Dallas area but none imo that can beat the value you get here. They have (3) pools, one of them is out door, yoga, Pilates, spin classes, rock climbing wall, racquet and basketball courts.
They have a full spa, café, and weekly events. The number of work out machines and free weights far exceeds any of the other facilities nearby. The best part of this place is that they do a really good job keeping every thing clean.

They have ton of classes and options for if you’re a fitness enthusiast/​junkie. It’s all a bit overwhelming for me but I can see how families and folks with a ton of free time would enjoy this facility. It’s clean and the sales people don’t seem too overly pushy. Again the location is far but I’ve been here for fitness seminars and such that they’ve held at the gym. If you live in the area, don’t mind dropping a pretty penny and know your membership will be put to good use, it’s worth checking out.

Awesome staff always willing to help out and answer any questions. The facility is incredible! Treadmills and stationary bikes as far as the eye can see, four full size basketball courts, four racket ball courts, and a rock climbing wall room. The only downside in my opinion is the $ 100 a month for their basic membership. Is the price worth what the staff and facility have to offer for someone who’s there all the time? Sure, but it’s just too much for someone like me that can only get to the gym a couple times a week.

Great gym, great staff, I really enjoy working out there, the only reason I’m giving them only 3 stars is because every year they increase the prices, I pay nearly a $ 100 per month to get to go there…
Anything else is great.

We went in today to look into membership at the Allen, TX location. My wife had already visited previously because one of her friends has had a membership at this location since it opened 4 years ago. Apparently, they don’t WANT or NEED your business here, it was quite evident the second we walked into the door with the prima donna attitude of the receptionist… then when we talked to one of their «sales consultants» we got double talk about a deal that was mentioned to my wife and two friends the last time they where there. When the actual sales person who had made the claims was consulted, the back peddling ensued… I made it a point to mentioned that the entire experience felt like a shady used car dealership…
I guess the kicker was the emotionless, «I really don’t care» look pasted on everyone face… it was either fork over the $ 150 enrollment fee… or get the hell out!!!

The staff is rude. For the price they charge members, the personnel needs to be better disciplined in how to communicate. Bunch of idiots in management.

Lifetime is probably one of the best fitness centers in the area and I absolutely love it. It has everything including a pool (indoor and outdoor), spa, FIVE basketball courts, racquetball courts, rock climbing wall, free weights, workout machines, yoga rooms, fitness classes, massage area (costs extra) and a café.
If you plan on coming here often and using all or most of the facilities provided, then this place is well worth your money. However, if you only plan on doing a few things, (for example, you’re just looking for a gym where you can do weight training and that’s it) then I’d suggest looking for another gym, as Lifetime is pricey and won’t be worth your money if you only use one part of its huge facility.

I’ve never had a more frustrating experience in my life! This gym was okay when I was there, but now that I’ve moved they refused to cancel my membership! I’m now living on the other side of the country and every month they still bill me $ 95. I’ve called them repeatedly, but they tell me they are incapable of canceling my membership.
At this point I’m considering getting a class action lawsuit together, because it seems like a lot of people are having this same problem.
Bottom Line: This place is NOT worth it!

Since I’ve cancelled my membership back in September of 2014 (It’s now July 2015), I notice that I’ve continued to get billed $ 95/​Month. A young man called me back in April and said he would stop all charges, but low and behold… the billing continued.
I had to go their facility and cancel this again in person, «I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry» was all I heard and again… the person that can address these issues is not around.
This is very unfortunate as I’ll have to pursue legal action to recover the funds, and there’s no guarantee that I won’t continue to be charged. As a matter of fact… I received another $ 95 bill just yesterday. I guess they wanted to get another one in for «Olé Time Sake»?

Love, Love, Love the hot yoga. I am really new to yoga and hot yoga has rocked my world. HOT YOGA classes will strengthen and tone your body, calm your mind and empower you to become healthier, more radiant and inspired than ever before! They offer a variety of classes to fit your needs and meet you wherever you are each day, regardless of experience level. Please check out the Lifetime schedule and class descriptions. They also have an app that you can download for the classes.

Love this gym. Always have equipment available l even during peak hours, very little maintenance downtime on equipment (unlike 24 hour fitness!), the gym is always clean, every time I’ve needed something from the staff they have been nothing but helpful and professional.
The lockers room are great. Lockers that don’t cost anything, showers, and the wet sauna is my absolute favorite. The dry sauna is out by the pool and have used occasionally. Have not tried out the pool or basketball courts yet.
You definitely get your money’s worth here!
