I was unable to get in and had to leave which spoiled my evening. For the price of a membership this should NOT be acceptable. I know that I should be on time but no human is perfect and for some people like me, yoga is an escape from my daily life and I do not want to feel stressed about attending classes. I know of other members who this has happened to as well. You NEED to do better.

Today was my first time at Lifetime and it was a great experience! I came on a friend's guest pass…read morefor the 9:30am AMP Cycle class taught by MaryBeth M. Overall, the facility was large and clean from the small portion of it I saw. It seemed like everyone on the weight floors had plenty of personal space. We were in the cycle studio downstairs, and it was beautiful and clean with probably about 50-100 bikes. Before I review the class, I'll put my fitness level here: I workout 6 days a week, 4 of those days are strength training/lifting paired with cardio or walking. I take one Orangetheory class a week, and normally add in a pilates/full body day. I'd say I'm in great shape, but am not very coordinated. Today's workout replaced my normal pilates. The AMP Cycle class was a great time, and it definitely has to do with the amazing instructor, MaryBeth. You could tell that the 9:30am Saturday class was full of regulars by the way she greeted and chatted with everyone. My friends introduced me and she was eager to help if I needed anything. My friends helped me adjust my bike and get me into position since I had never taken a spin class before. The class itself was the perfect level of endurance cardio challenge for me! I was able to take little to no breaks and keep up pretty well. Since I'm very uncoordinated and not great with rhythm, some of the moves on the bike were hard but easy to modify so I didn't go flying off the bike (I did have a couple of close calls lol). The music choice was a super fun mix of pop, hip hop, and EDM - all super upbeat and awesome to workout to. There were fun lights as well, which kept me motivated and having fun. Again, what took the class to the next level was MaryBeth. She's a fun motivator and easy to follow - one thing I appreciated is she never made references to pushing harder to look better - she always made it very self-fulfilling and about your heart and mind, without getting too soul-cycle-y. She even said an amazing heartfelt thank you at the end, which you could tell she meant - especially in a room full of regulars. On my way out, I also stopped at the Lifetime Cafe for a protein shake. I ordered the body builder (protein & creatine) with vanilla powder, strawberry & banana. It was a great little smoothie, but the protein was a little chalky. It also felt a little overpriced being $10 - but I got the vibe that Lifetime is a little more upscale so I understood the price. Overall, I would definitely come back for one of these spin classes or try another class if my friend has a guest pass! I personally do not need a full Lifetime membership at this stage in my life, but it's definitely something I would consider in the future.

In order to visit the pool, you get a wrist band from the LTF staff just before the door to the pool. The staff who work this area are awesome! In between folding towels and banding/removing bands, they have a friendly word and smile to offer members. I like the cafe area-the strawberry smoothie was wonderful after a swim!

Pilates has completely changed my body. A year ago on a visit to my Grandmother, she showed me…read morethat she could do a plank for at least one minute. She was 86 and I was 38...I couldn't manage 30 seconds. I had taken Pilates with Deb 8 years ago after I had my first child when she was located in Rockford. I realized that was exactly what I needed to get my body back in shape. Deb is an amazing instructor and definitely pushes you but not too far, as she is always cognizant of your movement and body position. Less than a year later, I have lost 35 pounds and gained so much muscle, flexibility, energy and clarity that I feel as good as I did in my early 20's. Everyone should be doing Pilates and a great place to go is the Pilates Advantage!

The studio was nice and clean but Deb the owner wasn't very welcoming. You had to purchase private…read morelessons first, which I was fine with since I had never taken Pilates and one on one is always nice. The lessons were okay but Deb didn't make me feel comfortable enough to ask questions, she seemed stressed and agitated for all three lessons. But I stuck with it and bought more classes because it was close to my job and because I had heard so many good thing about how beneficial Pilates is. The last straw for me was when I asked a question as we were doing an exercise and Deb literally SNAPPED AT ME in front of the other three females!!!! I was so embarrassed. And the reason I was having issues was because the tension of the machine wasn't right- once Deb realized it she fixed it but with a slight attitude. Even the three others in class kind of looked uncomfortable that she had gotten so pissed off for no obvious reason. If your a newcomer to Pilates I wouldn't suggest this place. Pilates isn't cheap and its not worth it if THE OWNER doesn't want to help you to learn!! I'll stick with Core Power Yoga!
