You get what you pay for! Many people have issues with the pricing, but you get a lot with your membership. The lobby is pleasant and smells great when you walk in. You are greeted with a smile and no wait to check in. The locker rooms are beautiful, clean, free locker and towel service, both small and large towels. Swimsuit spinners to dry your suit after swimming. Family changing rooms for the kids after their swim lesson, swim team, or swimming as a family. Aquatics program is awesome. My kids have progressed greatly and lessons are never overcrowded. You can drop off your kids for swim team, dont have to stay during practice. 2 waterslides inside, 2 outside, for different times of the year. 2 large pools inside: zero entry play pool/lesson pool and adult lap pool/swim team pool. Outside another huge pool with zero entry section and rope separating the deeper section and waterslide area, and lap pool. Also inside are 2 huge spas open 24/7 and a sauna. In both mens and womens locker rooms are the steam rooms. The great thing about swim lessons at Lifetime is that you can drop off the kids if you want, and you can pay to sign them up for Swim Play to add on extra time, to enable you to work out. Their swim instructor leads them over to the zero entry section and an instructor actually plays with the kids signed up for swim play, my sons favorite part. Sometimes I watch him from sitting in the spa after my own workout. And thats just aquatics! Inside is a huge cardio area, machine area, and free weights. The free weights do get busy but not busy enough to be overcrowded or people waiting to use weights. There is a Pilates room with real Pilates reformers and certified instructors (pay extra for this but worth it, cheaper than a Pilates studio too). Also a yoga classroom that is relaxing and different disciplines taught. My husband works with Kayla, a personal trainer, and she has been amazing. He has tried so many different ways to lose weight and get healthy. She started from the bottom, having him get full blood work from his doctor and going over results. Lifetime also offers bloodwork and lots of different tests, but pricey. Anyway, her workouts combined with supplements suggested has gotten him steadily moving toward his goal and he hasnt felt bettr in years. If you are staring Type 2 diabetes and heart attacks in the face, wouldnt you rather pay for a gym and get yourself genuinely healthy than pay doctors and drug companies to manage your health conditions? In summary, you get what you pay for. Our whole family has gotten healthier since joining, and its like a breath of fresh air just walking in. I didnt even mention the cafe which is great too. And they have a snack bar/cafe in the pool area in summer, feels like a country club! Stuff I forgot: they have a huge rock wall with climbing teams for youth and adult! Lounge areas with TV in locker rooms and main entry of club. Massage chairs, full basketball court with basketball lessons you can sign up for. Intramurals, awesome kids club. You can sign your kids up for yoga and other fun classes instead of just plain old babysitting kids club. Karate also offered` Summer and holiday camps for the kids including swim camp. You can also have kids birthday parties hosted. Ok, take a moment and go back and read all this stuff again, its a bargan esp if you have kids! Also LifeSpa, which has hair, nails and spa services, somewhat pricey and personally I prefer Touch of Tranquility for a massage, but maybe you need something done and can use the childcare while getting your nails hair or a massage done.. I love going to Lifetime!

I thought this would be an easy kill. I was already perturbed at their sales staff for standing me up on a previous appointment... so when the free week coupon came in the mail, I foresaw my Yelpers revenge, for my mission was to scribe their demise, at their hand. -Day 1- It was a sweltering August Sunday afternoon. A slight breeze blew as I walked across the parking lot towards the reception desk. Every few steps, a wisp of chlorine from the outdoor pool would reach me. The absence of smiles from the faces of each exiting member told me that I was about to be part of something special. The associate at the front desk invited me to peruse the complex in return for my signature. I looked up from my autograph session to behold a large plasma TV serving up music videos. As I walked into the mouth of the beast, one word came to mind... conglomerate. Yes, this was a Herculean aggregation of raw fitness potential. Passing by several vacant mini-meeting rooms, I pondered the sheer number of financial obligations which had been entered into. The mens dressing room left me in awe. I beheld cherry wood lockers and granite countertops. Surely these are materials which doctors and lawyers would afford in their grand country clubs. Oh my, I see a chorus line of fancy chrome plated hair dryers. Good lord, the bathrooms are sealed off. No longer would I have to be subject to the smells and sounds of hunkered patrons working through their man-cramps (aka: stewing chamber pot chili). Their aquatic offering was subdivided into an indoor and an outdoor water park. A 5 lane lap pool, Olympic pool with 2 water slides, 2 jacuzzis and a sauna comprised the indoor kingdom, while a 4 lane lap pool, huge swimming/playing pool with 2 slides and a mushroom constituted the outdoor funfair. Yay! They had the obligatory bleach blonde lifeguard. Schwing! [gyrate hips forward] A misting system provides a cooler climate for heat conscious loungers, and an on-site snack bar offered wrap and salad alternatives to the commonplace fare. The outdoor area was clamoring with harmonies (screaming kids) typical of a public pool. The 2nd floor of the facility is reserved for the rows of workout machines. There are no less than 23 giant video screens built into the walls. OK Lifetime Fitness, you win round one. But there are so many other levels which you can fail at, and six days to do it.

I was a member there at one time and kind of happy except that half of the lockers did not seem to work when you put your card in.They do not take care of there equipment, they have olympic free weight bars that have collars that are removable one of them was half a twist from killing some one. The upstairs mens bathroom stall door was broken and there fix after 3 months was a shower curtain (great privacy there). The childrens play centers climber was down for over six month (my kids liked that more than anything). The trainers would do there group work outs next too and in-between the equipment that I would be trying to use.Not using the equipment just the space where i need ed to stand or sit. Most of the people there do not know how to work out. The very worst was when we signed our 5 year old up for a soccer camp they canceled it 15 min before it was to start we were on our way there to the gym when they called. The girl in charge said the that she was sorry and she would have called earlier but she was out all week sick. I was in the gym all week and saw here there. she gave a me another great lie and said i was in and out all week. Oh by the way that black stuff in the grout of all of the shower stalls is mold. not decorator grout. they all have it I have gone to the Gilbert and the Tempe one. I have gone to gyms that were way worse but i was not paying out the wazo for it If I pay there premium i was to get the premium. I would rather go to a gym with a bunch of steroid mussel heads. Than a Fu-FU Gym.
