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!

Why don't people wipe off the machines after using them? Upgrade! Update!

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.

I did a heavy intense workout on the treadmill and stair master. Behind me was a unlabeled beverage dispensable cooler which wasnt labeled. After workout I filled my cup up only to have been drinking there cleaning solutions. I went to report it to front desk and Katie was very nasty and questioned why would I drink out of something I didn't know what it was. My question why would you have an unlabled drink dispensable container behind the cardio equip. She never asked was i ok, never called poison control or offered water. I was seen at ER. I called the next day to actually ask what the chemicals were exactly. Katie emailed me the regional managers contact info which I haven't heard from anyone yet. People come there to prioritize there health not be poisoned by someone's neglect. The fact no one reached out to me says a lot.​​

Similar to their other locations, GrooveRyde rules. I first learned about GrooveRyde from a Yelp…read moreevent. Of their three locations, this one is the newest. Located in the Van Aken district, it's really an idyllic location. After class, you can grab a healthy bite at the neighboring Nature's Oasis and stroll the area to shop. Bonus: FREE garage parking! As I've stated in my Woodmere GrooveRyde review, SO many fitness studios claim inclusiveness but don't always practice it. GrooveRyde does. When you have a physical limitation, it's a giant leap to try something new and you almost always are disappointed. After trying my first class with Zosimo in Woodmere (and having him be respectful and kind towards limitations) I felt confident to come back and try Shaker Heights. I did a class with Jessica and she was beyond helpful. I arrived early and she was sweet enough to help me set up my bike and answer several questions. She was a great instructor and really loves what she does! Overall, the facility is generally bigger and sparklier because it's so new! They have a great gym, several exercise rooms and lockers to store your things. You'll love GrooveRyde! Don't be scared of cycling. They get it and respect your journey!

I can only vouch for the 50 minute cycling classes but reckon I may try yoga or other class offerings soon. The cycling room is a smidge tight (you can/will definitely hit whoever is next to you when extending your arms on the bike so be careful) but still comfortable. I love that the lighting is kept dim and the wall fans are strategically placed in all four corners. I also appreciate that you get to choose your bike of choice when signing up for your class online. The bike assignments are also posted on the class door so there shouldn't be any confusion upon arriving. Towels are provided (another amen!) which is incredibly helpful because you WILL SWEAT. There are also lots of lockers and cubbies to store your crap while you're cycling your heart out. Highly recommend you give this great workout studio a try.

Very dirty bathroom, very old and poorly maintained equipments and staff members just blatantly didnt give two fuqs about it.

Definitely a lost for the city of Cleveland especially the neighborhoods within its vicinity. Now AF members at this gym and travelers working at University Circle would have to drive all the way to the Edgewater location which is kinda far.
