if you have an out of town guest who would like to use the gym, i suggest they get a gym pass elsewhere. This gym doesn't look kindly on guests based on my experience. They only give passes for a few days and not even a week. I visit my family in VA once or twice a year and they have given me passes for a week or more previously but with my most recent visit they said they changed the policies and a guest pass longer than a week would be a "breach of integrity". I don't know how using a treadmill constitutes a "breach of integrity" but hey...i dont work here. Needless to say, did not feel very welcome or enthusiastic about going to this place. I used the pass twice and switched to another gym halfway through my "pass period". Also, just noticed people pay $100+ for this gym? At that price, I think you'd be better off with Equinox albeit not nearby. Otherwise, the treadmill equipment is new and the female locker room is clean. read more

I called in last night because I was interested in signing up for a membership. Granted, it was a little late (probably 11pm) but the guy who answered the phone, was a dick from the jump. I had a few questions about the gym in general, (such as the amenities and what the basic package included) but the guy cut me off mid sentence and said "you need to call back later, I don't have that information in front of me." Seriously?! You don't know ANYTHING about the gym in which you work???? And you couldn't take MY info and have someone call me back like normal places do? I get that it was late, but there was no need for the rudeness that came across in his voice. They need to work on customer service skills, and glancing through past reviews, I'm not the only one who thinks so. No wonder why they can't seem to keep customers. read more

This gym is nice, the equipment is nice, the staff is nice. Everything is just nice. Nothing too extraordinary except the size of the place. Unfortunately, for the price... I'd rather sign up to a smaller, less expensive gym with the same equipment, more attentive staff, and of course, less people sweating and panting uncomfortably too close to me. read more

This place is awesome. This gym offers great fitness classes, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, steam, yoga, zumba and what not. The place is clean with all basic amenities. I loved the spa of this gym, specially the hair specialists. Got my hair blow dry from Nadra Shaba, she is great. She did a fantastic job. My gave a nice volume to my hair. Loved it Strongly recommend this lady. #nadra #hair #spa read more

Life Time - Blow dry by #Nadra Shaba - Gyms Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Overall, this is a good gym. The facilities are extensive, and for the most part in good condition. I have been a member for the last ten years, but recently have seen a general drop in service and a significant increase in over crowding. On the cardio floor it is not unusual to see trashcans that have not been emptied, or disinfectant wipe containers that are empty. I go to Lifetime four or five times a week and it is now not unusual to have difficulty finding parking in the evening, and having no lockers available without waiting. In ten years, I have not seen this. There is wide speculation among the members that the gym has oversold memberships. If you are thinking about joining, I would wait a few months to see if the over crowding situation subsides. For almost $80/month, the current level of service is questionable, and needs to change. read more

I really like Lifetime and the Centreville location a lot. I've been a member since Nov 2009 and have had nothing but positive experiences here! My son LOVES the day care center. Every day I get 2 hours of on site day care included in my membership price. That means you can put your child in the day care and have 2 hours to work out, shower, get a massage, whatever you want as long as you stay on the premises. The staff are wonderful and great with the kids. I don't think I would enroll him in the preschool but the other activities are fun and extremely well priced. I have been working with a PT here since January and I have been very happy with my results and my PT's qualifications. It does get busy and more crowded at peak hours--particularly in the evening. I usually try to avoid going here after 1600. However, even when it is busy I've never had trouble finding an empty cardio machine. The locker rooms at this location are really nice. Very clean, usually stocked with towels, plenty of shower stalls, lots of sinks, hair dryers, a sitting area--and it's not freezing cold! The pool area is nice but the pool itself is pretty small. They do have a nice section for kids and have family hours every day. There is a dry sauna and 2 hot tubs as well. This location offers a fair amount of classes that are included in your membership price. I have been taking an intro to yoga class and really enjoy it. I'd like to see a bikram yoga class offered but I'm not sure if they have a studio that could accommodate that class. The cafe is fantastic too! The fresh fruit smoothies are delish, and the sandwiches are great too. The kid's meal is priced at $3 and is a very healthy value. The salon/spa attached to this gym is an Aveda one. I've taken my son to get his hair cut there and it's been okay. Not the best hair cut but certainly not the worst either. The massage therapists are excellent too. I highly recommend the Centreville Lifetime. read more

Too crowded, no parking. Really - I couldn't find a parking spot at times. Plus when I cancelled my membership they screwed up and billed me for 3-months...and told me I had to come back in to sort it out The scale of it seems great until you experience the volume of people - better off at a smaller establishment with less membership. read more

24/7 I can go when every I want to avoid peak hours which can be sooo crazy and have to park far away. Most of the staff has improved. I use the child care center a lot and really enjoy that I have two hours to myself to work out and shower(as long as my son is happy)He gets a work out too because there is so much to do in the child care center. Tons of stuff to take advantage of! Your LTF card can be helpful for discounts outside of LTF. read more

I love this gym! I wish I had more time to spend at the gym! The pools are wonderful, I wish they were open 24/7 thought. They have a ton of really great equipment, along with plenty of space to work out. The cafe has wonderful food as well. However, some of the cafe workers are less than desirable. Some are absolutely wonderful, but others talk/flirt too much with other guests and some are terribly slow. read more

***Be Aware! No customer service for existing customers*** I have a billing issue, which due to their fault and I'm calling every single day to resolve it but they are putting me hold for 10-15 minutes, and no one is there to take the ownership to resolve it. I'm 100% conveyance that they don't have time for their existing customers; even their top management doesn't care about their existing members. I would not recommend Lifetime Fitness Centreville, VA club to anyone. read more

I joined Life Time Fitness to facilitate my long over due New Years Resolution. Usually, from my experice, when you join a gym they pish you to spend an hour with one of their personal trainers, a "complementary" session, where they try an sell you a few personal training sessions. Joining Life Time I had several complementary sessions, and I was reluctant to use them. I met with a trainer, Brian Albrecht, who really made an impression on me. He spent an hour and a half just talking with me that seemed like twenty minutes. I thought I tried everything in the past how to lose weight. Every time I saw no progress or lost weight and gained it back Brian explained to me why. I learned more about exercise and nutrition in a little over an hour then the countless hours I wasted researching and trying gimmicks! Thank you Brian! - Phil read more

MEMBERSHIP FOR LIFE I have never been treated so badly as when I went up to cancel my memberships (2) at Lifetime Fitness in Centreville. I called and spoke with Brian in membership so I had all of the facts concerning the "policies" for cancelling my memberships. (show up in person, picture ID, etc) I current pay for both of these memberships, unfortunately my wife set up the members, so after I drove to the gym I was told that she had to be at the gym in person, David said he was sorry but there was notthing he could do "Company Policy" I informed him it was my credit card, I pay the bill, so cancel the 2 memberships. No can do, company policy, the person who set up that account has to be there - although my good buddy Brian left out that fact. These guys kiss your ass to join, and then stick it in your ass when you try to quit - they even charge you a fee to quit. How F-ed up is that. read more

I love getting my hair done at their salon but as a gym they are too expensive. They only have 3 swimming lanes here.

I can't understand why the Salon isn't crowded all the time! Hayley does my hair and is fantastic. I get so many compliments. Her prices are very reasonable and there's no hard-sell with products but you want to buy what she's using because your hair looks so good! I never knew that you don't have to be a member to go to the Salon, either. I have been coming here for years --it's so convenient! read more

Nicest gym in Centreville, but also the most expensive, but hey, you get what you pay for. Towels sometimes aren't stocked and locker spaces get filled up quick during peak hours. Showers are nice, especially the shampoos/conditioners/body wash. A variety of trainer/training services are available, although some of the trainers look like they have some major working out to do themselves... read more

Great resort with great service. My kids love the child center. The place is always clean and the employees are very friendly.

Great facility, lots of fun classes and the cafe is amazing. I love tasty food that is actually good for you. Very clean place, knowledgeable and friendly staff. read more

I didnot have a good experience with life time fitness. As I had to pay extra money for the months when I was not going to the gym. After some days, a representative from their customer service called us, and resolved the issue. We were given half of the money back and the remaining half as credit. Overall its a good gym with good services, but just beware of their payment and cancellation policies. They are quite strict about them. read more

My FAVORITE gym. Love the atmosphere, it's 24 hrs and there's so much you can do at this gym.

Great location, really nice staff, and always clean. But my favorite thing about this gym is the personal training. For a while now, I've been training with McCoy and the five stars go to him! All I can say is he is the BEST! Time goes by so quick during my workout, I can tell that he truly cares about my overall health, and I can tell that he plans exercises that are best suited for my body. Most importantly, it's a lot of fun and that's what I enjoy the most! read more

Hard sell. The first thing they do when you join is sign you up for a hard selling session. In mine, they attempted to sell me heart monitors, nutrition counseling, fitness plan counseling, vitamins and personal training. Hold your wallets - they must be on commission..... read more

EY! Unless you are going to start offering something more or improving your services, quite jacking up my membership price!!!! I don't care if you wanna charge new-comers more, but I have been a member for 4 years and im tired of getting your emails about increasing prices!!! Other than that, the typically over-crowded (except after about 9PM) facility is generally clean and somewhat organized (organization has improved). Oh, and teeny-bopper music doesn't really motivate people... Food for thought! read more

The spa of lifetime is really hopeless. They give discounted coupons for salon when you join gym. But that is total disappointment. I recently went for manicure. The lady did nothing and with no interest. People don't go to lifetime salon. It's nothing only overpriced. read more

This is one of the nicest lifetime gyms in the area. It is a huge facility that have made constant renovations to make the experience even better. My favorite new additions to this gym are the olympic lifting platforms and the newly dedicated yoga studio. The pool area is also nice as its equipped with two hot jaccuzi's and a sauna. There is also a rock climbing wall with friendly staff that encourage you to do your best. The cafe serves delicious food and great smoothies which makes a meal very convenient. Check this place out for yourself, they will give you a 7 day free trial! read more

I whish I could split my rating between the facility and our Personal Trainer because it would be more accurate... Life Time Fitness in Centreville, VA gets 4 starts from us. They lose the fifth star for us (my wife and I) because while improved it is still too dusty out in the exercise floor and it is rather tough to get on the floor to exercise and see lots of dust/dirt on the floor. They do need to improve this issue. Personal Trainer Jamey Brice gets all 5 stars from us. We are very happy with Jamey as we can see he has very good working practices. He does not "make up" our exercises when we show up for the work out. He has the routines of the day for both my wife and I. He checks our week's "homework" and gives us instructions for the following week so to ensure we are not stuck on a single group of muscles. We have very much notices how we are getting much stronger without making us sick. We are definitely very happy with Jamey. read more

This is a great facility that is not too overwhelming for the beginner. Jamey is a fantastic trainer. He understands our goals and is always there when we have questions about nutrition, training specifics, or health. Don't let his gentle nature fool you, you will get pushed, motivated, and want to come back for more. read more

This gym has the newest and the best equipment, however it is one of the least professional gyms I've ever worked out at. They allow young kids barely over the age of 12 and not only do they take up space and misuse equipment but they can be loud and insolent. No gym should ever allow kids under the age of 18 onto a floor to behave as badly as some do. Not to mention some of the other bad behavior I've seen. There are no rules and no one ever around to enforce them and I pay way too much money to have this when I work out. All they care about is money, signing up families and allowing parents to drop their children off unsupervised. Very unprofessional and I am going to look around for a better run gym. What a shame. read more

Upon reading some of the other reviews I am honestly confused. I have never seen the staff act in any way other than friendly, helpful and professional (they aren't even on cell phones!). The building is repeatedly renovated and updated and the equipment kept functional. Now, on to my experience! I love everything about this place. I used to be a member of 6 different boutique studios and I shelled out a ton of money each month for classes. Then I found Life Time. They have an amazing selection of classes to attend...yoga, cycle, strength classes, cardio, everything you could ever want! All for a FRACTION of what I was paying all those other places! I know people look at the price and think it's steep (compared to a gym like Planet Fitness) but I will tell you now it's ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. Gyms are merely a building full of equipment. This place is not a gym. It's a HEALTH CLUB that stands by their "Healthy Way of Life" mantra. It is an amazing top notch facility with aquatics, huge fitness floor, pilates, personal training, two studios, cycle studio, yoga studio, on-site cafe and a salon & spa (and more!). There is also incredible child care, basketball courts, rock climbing wall, etc. The staff in each of those areas are the BEST at what they do. They are here to provide for their members and help them succeed. They are also incredibly friendly and helpful. I look forward to going to Life Time every day. I have found my people. I have found my place. Life Time is part of my lifestyle. I would HIGHLY recommend it. read more

This gym is really nice. They have a lot of programs and amenities. I find the staff really friendly and helpful. I personally enjoy the boot camp program and rock climbing lesson. CONS: Price and it is bussy place but NOT to the point that you do not have any equipment available. read more

This Lifetime wasn't as big as I would have expected it to be. I've been to many other ones and this one is okay I would say. The staff looks pretty young and nice and it seems like some of the guests who come here come on a daily basis. I would go here with my friends sometimes whenever I visit and sometimes it can get pretty crowded...I say go to another Lifetime that's spacier. read more

Always friendly staff around and the locker rooms are clean. My only concern is that as big as the Centreville Lifetime is there is no bathroom in the second floor. I don't like halting my workout and rushing all the way downstairs to use the toilet in the locker rooms then going back upstairs. read more

Let me tell you something! The staff at lifetime is okay, BUT the staff at the rock wall....is exceptional! I recently came to climb for the first time at the rock wall here in Centreville. I was a little nervous at first, considering my severe fear of heights, but the staff was so enthusiastic and encouraging that I was able to wipe away my intense fear and live in the moment. I can't express the amount of gratitude I have for the rock wall staff at lifetime. :))) read more

Front staff is horribly rude and seem to have the notion that the customers are not important. I came in one day asking if I could pay for one a one-time out on the treadmill to see if I would want to join this gym, and the guy at the front desk yelled really loud ....."It's fifty dollars to use the facility once". Needless to say, I was taken back at the fee and embarrassed because everyone in the lobby looked at me. I am surprised at how many people still actually signed up for this gym. read more

I have never felt so irate at an organization as I have for this sack of shit. To begin with, their staff is horrible. They are extremely rude, they talk down to you, argue with you and they cheat you out of your money. The rudeness and irrationality of the staff came when I tried to cancel my membership. The woman I spoke to was a complete BITCH. She argued with me, made me feel stupid because one her associates gave me the wrong information about their cancelation process, instead of helping me. In the end after she finally canceled my account told me that I wont be having anymore charges. Low and Behold one month later I get charged again. It over drafts me and screws up my bank account. I spent weeks trying to fix the situation and everyone I talked to kept telling me they would have someone call me and no one would. It was as though they were tossing my situation away. Finally i get ahold of someone and they asked me to fax my banking information to them all so they could deny reimbursement. Finally I had to threaten legal action before they did anything about my acount. They never take care of their facilities and there is always some goewy globs of what looks like snot and hair all over the shower stalls. The Trainers are overweight, lazy, and pompous and somehow Im supposed to take their advice on staying in shape and eating healthy. I have never been more angry at a place in my entire life. All that money i wasted on them I could have donated to needy people. What a crock of shit. read more

this is my first review on yelp, and I am upset that my first one had to be this one. can i give ZERO stars to customer service? i mean the staff here does NOTHING to satisfy a customer when you dont want to have a membership with them anymore. here is my story (and i should've read the reviews before signing up) : i became a member april 2013.. yes, i paid like 120$ as an initiation fee. i was quoted a 74$ monthly membership fee. when the first of may came around, i checked my bank account to find almost 90$ withdrawn from lifetime. i was extremely upset. not only because the amount was incorrect but because I was denied financial aid for my upcoming year at George Mason. I proceeded to call lifetime to cancel my reservation. I was then told that i had to go to the property and cancel in person. I took time to drive to lifetime and explained my situation. They gave me some options to try to keep me as a member, but i declined. Once I declined the manager rudely walked out without even empathizing about my situation. THen they told me that they still had to charge me one more month (policy I was never told when signing up). I went ahead and accepted their policy, July was the extra month. Aug came around and ANOTHER 74$ deducted from them. I found out on a friday about the extra charge. I called at 11am and I was told that yes i had cancelled, but that i came back the next day and reinstated my membership. huh? false. they told me that they could not help me, that i had to talk to khuncha? , the manager that "had stepped out of the building" for a bit. I asked if she would be back by 1, they said yes. I called back at 12:45pm. MAGICALLY, khuncha had left for the day and i could reach her saturday after 8am (she was the only one that could help me according to the receptionist). i called corporate and they explained that the general manager (not khuchna could help me). the GM was not there. i gave up hope for friday. i called saturday and spoke to khuchna. she was also no help and said that the GM was out of town for the weekend (of course) and that he was the only one that could help. now i have to wait until monday... i wish i had money to hire a lawyer because that is an UNATHORIZED payment. isn't that stealing on their end? anyways, it was never my mistake and i complied with their policy but this is ridiculous. 74$ may not seem like a lot of money to some, but this is their mistake and noone was helpful enough to resolve it right away. Moral of the story: be prepared to spend A LOT of money to cancel your membership and on top of that get no help (and wrong information) from the staff. read more

When this place opened it was a beautiful facility. The only knock then was that it was jammed packed. The reviews below that say its too busy is stupidity. Most gyms are packed at peak hours but this location is nowhere packed as it used to be at 6pm. With all the gyms that have opened up its lost some of its market share. It used to be very clean with great customer service. They also used to pay very well which led to great customer service. I used to work for Lifetime and that ended in 2005 so this is not a sour grapes review. Membership used to be about $50 for a single. Now its not even close to worth it. The locker rooms have started to fall apart and arent as clean as they used to be. Personal Trainers are very helpful as they used to be and the rest of the staff has an attitude of who cares. The equiptent is out-dated. I pay $30 a month where I am at now and have much nicer equiptment to workout on. Again I used to work in the Sales department and made really good money. When they changed the pay scale is when I walked out the door. No hard feelings and left on great terms but since March of 2005 as I predicted this place has gone down hill and continues to. Its not worth the money they charge at all and anyone who thinks it is hasn't done searched out what else is out there. read more

Extremely rude service reps. Closed the entire gym for a week, racquetball and basketball courts for two weeks, and did not call to notify customers. I only found out when I went to the gym and saw a sign outside, after having driven 25 minutes to get there. Called to speak with management about getting a refund for the two weeks the racquetball/basketball courts were closed since those are the only things at the gym that I use and they said there is nothing they can do. They were kind enough to let me know that I'm free to drive another 25 minutes up to Fairfax to use the other gym. Gee, how wonderful, another hour in NOVA traffic...sign me up! The gym closing was handled extremely poorly and I think they are going to have a lot of pissed off members canceling their memberships. Will never go back to this gym again other than to cancel my membership, which MUST be done in person and can't be done over the phone. What a joke! read more

This is more like a spa than a gym. It's a great place to swim. Great children's center staff for little ones.

The employee and management of this location are worst that I have ever seen. They were aggressive, confrontational and ill-mannered. I was visiting from Minneapolis MN, the origin of Lifetime, for work and I stayed a hotel several miles from this location. The front desk person confronted me and told me that I have to upgrade my membership in order to work out at this location as guess or I can't enter the facility. I asked for a manager because I am a GOLD member and this location should be admitted according to my gym in Brooklyn Park, MN. The manager was belligerent and basically re-iterated that I have to upgrade to workout as a guess! The demeanor and the attitude of these guys were outright RUDE. Dismissive and just NOT equipped for basic customer service job. I hope they train these punks for basic customer service manners or let them go. read more

One of the most money hungry gyms ive had. All they care about is making money and have no regard for members once so ever. Always packed during the week, then they rent out basketball courts on weekends. Deactivated my membership and never plan on going back read more
