Life Time Fitness is a huge lifestyle gym and health center in Beachwood. It can't even be compared…read moreto any local gym, it's far superior. During my initial visit my tour guide referred to it being like a county club. Right on - upscale and relaxing vacay vibes. I have only remained a member for a few months due to life events and health circumstances. I was always very enthusiastic about visiting Life Time! AMENITIES: The club is very clean and every part of the experience is well designed. Everything you need is there. For instance, you'll get all toiletries and towels for your shower or sauna visits. The club well serves a variety of guest groups catering to their unique needs. Parents can use childcare service. Millennials can utilize pickleball courts. Retired folks can partake in a fun Arora aquatic program. There are numerous amenities: full salon, cafe, co-working cafe, indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, steam room, pickleball courts, rock climbing, Pilates studio, personal training, yoga studio, chiropractor, cold plunge, outdoor bar, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, workout area, cryo, and a lot more. You almost need a lifetime to explore them all! It was an immediate "yes" for me in terms of joining. The gym is very spacious, you never feel constrained at any times of the day. My favorite amenities are the outdoor pool and Club Lounge (co-working space). The outdoor pool is Olympic size pool with comfy lounge chairs and lounges. There is zero entry part and swimming lanes. Robust Arora program (open to any ages) offers fun water aerobics activities. The classes are so high energy! The pool was even open into October this year. Loved the pool! Co-working space offered me a lot of flexibility working from the gym and taking a break to enjoy the amenities. The internet speed is excellent! CLASSES: Classes can be conveniently accessed via Life Time mobile application. Sign-up is easy. Timings are suitable for various schedules. EVENTS: Life Time hosts plenty of events for members creating a communal feel - karaoke, swim nights, and even tequila tasting. Some feature a DJ and cool decor. While most events are free, you'll pay for drinks. PRICING: Prices match the amenities. I paid almost $200 per month for a single membership. Not everything is included in your membership (Pilates for instance), but most things are. You get some discounts (such as the salon, the cafe, and personal training) during your first month. It's definitely a pricey investment but also self-investment. CANCELLATIONS: Membership cancellation is very easy. I was able to cancel my membership via the app. I was sad to cancel my membership but life is lifing. You also have an option to pause your membership and partake in online workouts. DOWNSIDES: To be honest in my review, few issues exist at Life Time: - Concierges are not always pleasant. I had this experience, my guest did, and other members mentioned it to me too. The service is very dismissive. You will constantly get referred to the app, attentiveness is rarely a thing. - Cafe prices are outrageous and far higher than at any other health cafes. I recently paid over $40 for a power bowl (Shoyu-Sesame), protein balls, and a smoothie (Açaí Bliss). It's convenient to have a cafe onsite, but prices are wild for the portions and mediocre quality. - Open hours for the amenities are ever changing and unclear. It's hard to figure out when the pools are open or when cafe outdoors is available. Employees I've asked about the open hours were equally puzzled. This doesn't well serve busy individuals with demanding schedules and need to pre-plan. - The parking lot is very dim at night. While the area feels extremely safe, it's still not the best time in the evening. - Onboarding process is rather chaotic. I found myself asking basic questions about creating a pass card, locker use, open hours, and sign-up processes. I was constantly referred to the app which didn't have most of these answers. Overall, I truly enjoyed the amenities at Life Time. I will definitely rejoin when my personal circumstances change. I highly recommend dropping in for a day pass to experience Life Time or formally joining. You won't find a better gym around!

Wish I was at King's gym right now, but instead I am stuck in Maui. That should say it all.

All the "goals" are here, bodybuilding or powerlifting, boxing or sports specific, group classes and cardio, injury prevention or mental balance, weekend warriors or general wellness, clients with trainers for something specific or clients with trainers who like to torture their trainer for their entire lives... The equipment deserves mention, as they are the most balanced machines ever. They maintain the equipment to perfect working order, whether it is an antique relic or a brand new chinamade machine. You will be hardpressed to find something that isn't here. Top level athletes have all they need too. King's gym has a unique vibe without forcing it. The feel of King's gym is an organic phenomena that many have tried to sort out. It is unpretentious. There is a very hardworking population that is amongst this crowd, as well as folks who are serious about their gym goals. If you see someone frowning and looking rough, almost always are those the people who will light up with gentleness and laugher if you strike a conversation with them. Problems are immediately mitigated here. If there is a situation that is a threat, it is quickly irradicated. In 22 years of training here, I have seen maybe 2 issues. They were eliminated so quickly you couldn't believe it. The owners are family oriented, clean, folk. Very approachable, and straight with you. if you are humble enough, you could even learn powerful lessons from them, as they are coaches. God bless King's gym and all its staff and members. Amen

I have been going to Overload for approximately three years. My cousin had recommended it to me…read moreprobably 15 year ago but I foolishly resisted trying it. Big mistake. I absolutely love it. It takes about 20-25 minutes twice a week, you can show up in street clothes because they keep the room cool so that you don't get sweaty, and you work out in a super-slow way to avoid injury but maximize rapid muscle fatigue which leads to muscle improvement. Every one of the trainers is competent and caring and they compliment each other's style. It's not cheap but it is so worth it. I am 65 and always had a somewhat wimpy grip. Now I can look the macho guys in the eyes who try to play alpha dog and squeeze right back. This is truly a Cleveland gem. Rick H.

LA Fitness (former Esporta Fitness) is located in Legacy Village. The location is certainly…read moreconvenient - large parking lot and Legacy Village ritz. I toured this location on July 7, 2025 as a potential member. I was unimpressed by my experience and did not join as a member. Amenities: The gym is very spacious with two floors of workout machines. Even at peak time (around dinnertime) of my tour the gym was not crowded, there was room for everyone. That seemed like a huge positive. There were some good amenities - pool and movie theatre cycling room. Upon closer look, all equipment (strength and cardio) and interior were disappointingly outdated. If you're looking for a modern equipment and amenities, this might not be right fit. Service: The sales guy who showed me the space was friendly. The tour was very brief. I liked that he asked what workouts I generally prefer. During the tour his superior made a comment about him better closing the sale today. I found it to be very distasteful. Overall, it was a very transactional experience - quick tour and push to sale with packages overview. Follow-ups were light which I appreciated. 3-Day Pass: I initially signed up for a 3-day pass and not necessarily the tour. I wanted to see the space but also experience what it's like on a typical day. When I called the front desk and sales about its utilization, I was told that I must stop by, tour, and then will be setup for a pass. After the tour my only choice was to sign up or not sign up. There was no 3-day pass honored or discussed. It more so seems like a sales gimmick. Pricing: This seems like a middle tier gym between Lifetime and Planet Fitness. Pricing is $39.99 (annual fee and initiation fee) or $49.99 (annual fee and no initiation fee). Group classes appear to be included. Additional cost for personal training. The price list online and at sales desk were very clear. I found certain murkiness when asking about annual fees and prorating months, so double check. My reasons for not joining were the outdated facilities/equipment and very transactional approach. Following my tour I immediately joined another local gym that was more well aligned with my personal needs and standards. If your focus is value and not so much aesthetics/equipment, you might find this a good fit.
