    I've been watching this new facility being built for over a year. Finally open and my husband and I bought memberships right away. $25/month for residents (does not include classes but access to workout equipment, track, basketball courts and turf field when not being used). $15/month extra for classes, or buy a 10 pack. Decent amount of cardio and weight lifting equipment. So far I have not had to wait for any machine. Of course since gym just opened everything is in great shape, but I have seen cleaners wiping down machines so it's being taken care of. Nice locker rooms and bathrooms. The best part about this facility is the track and work out area on 2nd floor. It can get busy on weekends with soccer and basketball tournaments, but it was quite empty on 2nd floor so you can work out in peace! Plus with the track, there is no rush for a treadmill since it seems more people prefer the track. They even have conference/ community rooms for use. Overall great facility with plenty of parking. Happy to put my money towards my town's rec center rather than a franchise gym. Everyone is friendly and I can see us working out here for a long time!

    Cardio machines

    The ARC has not officially opened,but today was the open house. The place is much bigger than it appears. I loved the indoor track,basketball court,and the gym area had individual T.V's on most of the machines. The weight area is nice as far as the equipment,but it seems small compared to the amount of cardio equipment. They have ROWING machines!!!!! The nice ones lol! There is plenty of parking,which was full today so I guess a lot of people will sign up. I also noticed an outdoor playground,a kitchen area,and meeting/classrooms that may be available to rent. The staff members were all nice and friendly. They have a few vending machines with healthy options and I noticed at least 4 hand sanitizer machines-Awesome. This place is lovely,shiny,and new. If it's not too crowded during the times I need to be there then I'll join.. Even if only to use the indoor track because I need my 10,000 steps per day...and yes, there are different membership options. Full access,indoor track only,or only group classes. The rates seem very reasonable if you are a resident.

    Overall, a facility I want to like but the memberships fees are bit too high in spite of being a resident.

    Members for almost 5 years now... Front desk is still the absolute rudest- it's like mind blowing…read morehow incredible rude they are. Please change your front desk staff - your members are greeted (well, not really) by the absolute rudest people. I can't even. It's awful. We pay a LOT for our membership and it's like insane how rude they are. Everyone talks about it/ it's shocking nothing has been done about it. If it wasn't for the therapy pool and the fact that it's practically across the street from us, we'd cancel our membership. Based on front desk alone. Absolutely awful. Equipment is subpar - they need mirrors in the weight section upstairs as well. WiFi is terrible as well if you plan to listen to anything on your phone while there too. The front desk though... man.. they're the worst.

    I used this gym for many years. However, I recently cancelled my membership. Other than maybe 2 or…read more3 front desk staff, the vast majority are very rude and unwelcoming. They really need to vet the front desk staff to be more polite and customer service oriented. Second, the equipment is often out of order. Perhaps because the other location in Naperville closed down, this one was getting excessively busy. It would be a challenge to find parking and would have to often wait for equipment to be free. The fact that it closes by 6 pm on weekends and 8 pm Fridays was also a limitation. The cost did not justify this experience. My spouse and I cancelled and joined another nearby gym and we are saving around 100 bucks per month for a much much better experience elsewhere. My advice - find another gym.

It feels that the members are paying for more maintenance vs increased services or equipment... I've spoken to regional leaders and even Tim, and yet have they been able to articulate the WHY behind the increase that increases the experience of the member. It's always maintenance related...

    I invited a friend to this Life Time Fitness location expecting a high-end experience, but…read moreunfortunately it turned into a very disappointing situation. His belongings were stolen from the men's locker room, and we immediately filed a police report. After over a month of no communication, management finally reached out saying they "might" have a suspect. About a week later, we were told the bag had suddenly reappeared in the locker room after a nightly check--which raises serious concerns. When we retrieved the items, cash ($300) and a YSL cologne were missing. There are too many inconsistencies, and the situation feels poorly handled and unprofessional. What's more concerning is the lack of accountability--calls to the GM have gone unanswered, and no effort has been made to offer compensation or reassurance. For a facility that markets itself as luxury, this experience fell far below expectations. I've also since heard of similar incidents happening in the men's locker room, which is alarming.

    PROS: The staff! Really their best asset is their friendly…read morestaff members who get to know you. This includes wonderful trainers who can take you from zero to hero as far as someone who NEVER works out, to someone who can develop a fitness routine. Programs: Lots of great programs like Tennis-In-No-Time, swim lessons for kids, and as I said before, great trainers you can book to achieve your personal goals. Tons of equipment to choose from in a bright, open space. Some regulars you can get to know and learn techniques from. CONS: Pool area feels too "open". Don't need peep windows all around the pool. I felt weird swimming in there so I never did. Close it off. Management change up/corporate vibe. Don't let you even hold your account for a month now (even though they used to). It's a pricey, luxury gym with clients that pay more to get more so making people jump through tons of hoops to hold a month for travel, work, etc doesn't gel with that vibe. If you give a months notice this should allow plenty of time to adjust staffing. You have to pay extra for a lot of stuff, so in order to use a lot of what really makes a gym like this worth the extra $ in the first place, you have pay EVEN MORE. Otherwise you are mostly utilizing equipment, classes, and such that you can get at other gyms for way less.
