Life Time - Gyms Near Me - Irvine, California

I am an Eqionox member. I purchased a day pass at Lifetime Irvine. It is really fabulous, and I wish I had explored before joining Equinox. I don't love the open basketball court, but it's not a deal breaker. They should step it up and add cold eucalyptus towels, better razors, face wash, and little disposable cups for the mouthwash. I really didn't get having mouthwash with no cups. Am I supposed to suck it up out of my hand? Oh, and where is the whirlpool in the women's locker room? read more

One Word: Teo. Teo is a RECOVERY MASTER! If you're serious about training, then you should be equally serious about recovery. I've been training really hard with Shahin for the past 3 weeks. I train 3x a week with my trainer and the rest of the days, I train on my own. I will admit that I have never really focused on recovery as much as I should. This is why I always end up getting injured and halting my progress. Insert Teo. Last week, I had a hip impingement that was so bad I couldn't even tie my shoe, squat or do any hinge movement without wincing in pain. On Tuesday, Shahin cut our workout short, brought me over to Teo, and asked him to "fix me". Teo has a heightened ability to pinpoint imbalances and areas of pain within the body. He spent an hour working on my hip, my groin, my quad and my hamstring. Once we finished, I felt a huge release of the pain I was holding, leaving me sobbing as I got off of his table. I hugged Teo, thanked him for helping me and went on my way feeling so much better. The pinch in my groin was not completely gone, but pain reduced by 75%. The next day when I showed up for training, Teo asked me to get on the table, stating that he knew exactly what the issue was. He then stretched my quad in such a way that there was a palpable release from my hip. I got off the table and the pinch at my groin was completely gone! The tightness in my quads, gone! The tightness around my knees, gone! Teo is a miracle worker. If you have ANY sign of pain in your body or just want to recover faster, GO SEE HIM IMMEDIATELY! read more

I have had a good experience at Life Time. I've been a member since June. Yes the parking sucks but i just count it as my warm up and I love that they've got an abundance of EV chargers on the 4th floor. Plan your workout and recovery accordingly as there is a 3 hour validation m-f. On weekends the parking structure is open without gate/validation. Shout out to Katie, Cassie and my trainer Cassaundra. Keeping me motivated with their classes and allowing me to stay consistent with coming to the gym. 4-6 pm ish can be a bit crowded, but compared to other big box gyms def less. There's a lot of open spaces to do workouts, whether it's cardio, free weights, machine weights, barbells, or a combo. The sauna is gender specific in lockers, not shared like 24. There's both dry and steam sauna. I primarily use the dry sauna post workout. Dry sauna has been clean and well maintained at least on my experience; I use it probably 3-5x a week; early to later in evenings. Overall great gym, totally recommend. read more

Great clean club with awesome equipment. The classes so far are just awesome with great instructors like Amanda, Kristin, Ari, Isaiah and Carmen. Also the staff (Celena, Elvis), the entire cafe crew, and personal trainers (shane and darby) are so helpful and professional. The beach club swim area staff are always smiling and helpful with outdoor food and drinks - a very good vibe). So far so good. And just 2 blocks from where I live. Also love the fact that I can use all other Life time clubs (e.g. Las Vegas 2 locations). And no need to pay $300 to $500 for Wework co-working space anymore since the cafeteria area here is perfect as a co-working office to get things done. This club and Club Studio are 2 of the best in OC... read more

This is my happy place. Great classes, clean facilities and centrally located. The kids facilities are great and they even do events for kids regularly. Without the family friendly environment I wouldn't be able to workout so regularly so this place is a life saver. My only complaint is that people film themselves in the locker room or talk on FaceTime. Seriously that's weird. People are getting changed. If they can figure out how to fix that odd behavior from some of the patrons there would be no negatives. read more

Parents with toddlers please beware of the Kids Academy inside the Life Time Gym! #Child Endangerment My husband convinced me to join the gym membership along with both of my toddlers (4 years 2months old and 2 years old) that $300 for 1 adult +$100 for spouse +$75 per kids. EVERYTHING was perfect for the family. Until the recent incident on 10/14 at 6:40pm. We got the call from the Kids Academy staff regarding my son's aggressive behavior involving a 6 years old kid! The whole story was 2 boys around 6 years old was chasing around in the common room with young toddlers age (1-4 years old). The staff did not stop the kids from chasing around. They watched. My son saw and got excited and of course he joined the chase. Then the staff decided to call my son's name and tell him no, like that ever worked with a 3-4 years old toddler who doesn't know any better! Yes the chase escalated into an incident as one of the kid slip on paper and fell, my son imitate the kid and fell on purpose onto the kid thinking it's a play and it's fun! Yes the staff watched and get involved right away when the incident happened and they describe my son 's behavior as aggressive. Seriously, you as an "experienced" care giver of young kids should had known not to allow the chase in the first place, young toddlers is only going to imitate and not know any better. WOW ANY EXPERIENCED ADULT would know not to allow kids 6years old to run around that fast with young toddlers 1-4 were in the same room. Good thing the kid didn't fell or trip on any young toddlers in the room. My kids been going to Preschool for 2 years and he had no aggressive behavior under proper supervision. Yet when he goes to Kids Academy at Lifetime, aggressive behavior here and there And yes today 10/15 we went to speak with the Kids Academy manger Elizabeth, who refused to take any responsibility for her staff's incapability to manage kids and toddler in the room, stressing that they are "experienced". So easily blaming the fault onto a toddler when the adult was incapable or maybe not even qualify to look after both kids and young toddlers at the same time. So by the way they can suspend the kids from the academy, penalizing the kids, not just a day or two. 3 Days first, then 7 DAYS!!! LOLLLLLLLLL WOW She stressed she's only penalizing my son. YAY!!! So I'm paying $550 for the whole family a month. My son can't go, I can't go, my daughter can't go! WHAT A SCAM!!! Yes!! I canceled my membership today. Im a nobody so the Kids Academy manager didn't care, but it's okay, there's ppl who will care about child endangerment seriously and investigate! ******* After filling the complaint with CCIB, only to find out that they are exempt from license! No wonder my son keeps getting suspended from their place as the "experienced" staffs looking after young toddlers and kids are not qualified to managed young toddlers!! And putting the young toddlers in danger, while allowing older kids to chase around! If I had known they are not regulated nor licensed, I would have not sign up with the gym and put my toddlers in the Kids Academy! read more

Life Time - Gyms Near Me - Irvine, California

I've been holding off on leaving a bad review in hopes that things would get better but after going to this gym for a year it continues to go downhill. It is so crowded at all hours of the day that they have implemented a waitlist which is only making the crowding worse because it's replacing members who no longer go to the gym with members who want to be there 24/7. People literally setup desktop computers and work from there all day long. I can only imagine how bad it will be come January. Although there are rules for the gym, they are not enforced. People are constantly recording both inside the locker room and outside so expect to be in the background of someone's video. People are doing nude yoga inside the sauna which is disgusting when you're sitting so close by. People are completely nude in the jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room and those that do have towels leave them everywhere. People talk loudly on the phone for extended periods of time in all areas of the gym. The locker room attendants are cleaning 24/7 but the patrons at Lifetime are so entitled and dirty that it doesn't feel clean. The locker rooms smell like sewage when you run the bathroom sinks. The parking garage is also dirty and packed and if you misplace your parking ticket you're out of luck and have to pay the day rate. Although the staff is friendly, what was once a great location has become a glorified 24HR fitness with no signs of positive change in sight. read more

Sierra & Demil are the best!! They work at the cafe are some of the friendliest people around. Their cafe is one thousand times better than Equinox across the street. Everyone is super friendly and makes you feel welcomed every time you step into the club. Another key difference are the classes. If you do classes throughout the week, the price for the membership is a steal. It's as if you are getting personal training - most classes have smaller group sizes so it's more personable. Plus they actually have hot yoga here compared to Equinox. Everything is premium, new and modern at this club. You are actually receiving the value for what you pay with every amenity, class, cafe experience, & overall feel. Couldn't recommend more. read more

I joined this gym around April of this year, and at first it was really nice coming here due to it never really being too busy/open weights, all the amenities. I only come late at night now since that's when it's the least busiest or mornings when I have my Pilates class. Even weekday mornings can be busy. I recently decided to try the Pilates classes and I'm taking them with instructor Prince. He makes you feel welcomed and his classes run smoothly and are challenging enough to make me want to come back. It's also a small class that can range from 2-5 people so he is able to pay close attention to each one of us and gives us pointers as we perform the movements. Although the price of $40 a session is costly. The gym is beautiful and I love the work space that is available as I tend to do my homework here sometimes. One of the biggest downside would be the parking. I think you can ask the front desk for a validating parking pass if you stay over three hours, but if you don't or forget to ask you will be charged. I had came one night to do my homework, workout, and then shower. I had to pay $5 because I stayed for 3 hours and 16 minutes. Oh well, I pay close to $600 a month for a pass (which includes Pilates sold separately and costa more than the membership itself...) to not be able to leisure with unlimited time in here. That sucks! I'm looking into other gyms as I do not find the price point worth it anymore. read more

Not great at this lifetime as the others. Parking is not great... They are getting so over priced it's out of hand. They have big nice gyms but is it worth 5 times the price of others? I think if you have 3 hours a day to spend here it may be worth it but for anyone that is just trying to get a work out in and get back to work and family. It is tough to justify the spend here. read more

the staff is terrible. there was a blonde girl at the desk texting on her phone while I'm trying to have ask her about the stupid parking. I left my ticket in the car and ended up paying $13.50 for parking. the lay out is not great either. very disappoint location. read more

I appreciate a business that focuses on customer service. The vibes are country club meets fitness. Since this place is fairly new, the facility is beautiful and pristine. I love that they have several different areas of weights so people are actually spread out a little bit. They have 9 barbell stations which I've never seen at a gym before. They have plenty of functional equipment as well like weighted balls, jump ropes, foam rollers, stability balls etc and an area to use them. read more

The parking situation is absolutely terrible. There was a 15 min line to get out of the place today. It was very frustrating and ruins what is a very good gym. The distance of the garage isn't a big deal, your going to a gym to be active... but to be stuck in line to get out of the place is unacceptable. To add to insult is that LifeTime doesn't offer valet to membership, when Equinox does. Might have to consider canceling due to this. read more

If you're looking to expand your knowledge on overall health and fitness there's one guy here you absolutely have to talk to and thats the man Teo. This guy really knows his stuff but the best thing about Teo is his unique ability to explain everything to you in a way you'll understand. I left our conversation feeling like an expert and I couldn't help ain't to share everything I learned with my roommates. My recommendation is this once u find him pull out your notes app on your phone you're gonna wanna write some stuff down! read more

I had my last two days at lifetime and I was having issues with my back, fortunately I went up to Theodore one of the personal trainers at lifetime to ask a question but he ended up helping me with my back and also informing me on how I can continue to stretch on my own. He was extremely accommodating and informative! read more

First time visiting OC lifetime with a friend and had a session with Teo. It was absolutely life changing after my ultramarathon. My leg and hips were tight, but Teo was professional and addressed the physical needs as necessary. I will highly recommend anyone who has to be adjusted or stretched out to book a session with him as you will not regret it. I am no longer in pain from my race due to Teo. read more

Best gym in town . Locker rooms give resort vibez and everyone is awesome . Love this place

Looks great from outside! Parking slight hassle. Unfortunately they couldn't provide a tour or discuss membership without an appointment. Seems like they should be able to do that for people before 6pm. Kind front desk staff! read more

I don't normally comment on other posts... but I feel obliged to say: do NOT pay too much attention to those 1 star reviews. I have ZERO affiliation with Lifetime other than the fact that I cancelled equinox, and purchased Lifetime memberships for my wife and our 3 year old. The staff have all been nothing short of attentive. Someone said the front desk seem "uninterested" in them. A) they say hello by name to almost everyone who comes in. 2) They've been more than helpful to answer questions and help in any way they can. Childcare: LA fitness childcare was garbage.. I've read about parents going to pick up their kid and there isn't a childcare person at the desk or even i the area! Equinox: no childcare. Lifetime: a TON of space dedicated to child care. Incredible staff. Activities galore. Bistro/Bar: great service. Good food. The bartender Matt? The guy is quick, he pours a good drink, and when it comes to customer experience, he gets it. Equipment/Classes/cleanliness: All I have to say is that I came here when it was still 24 hour fitness, I've been with equinox, and LA fitness signature... NONE are as clean, nice, or as well equipped as this place. read more

Two things: this gym is beautiful and everyone is super friendly; and Jessica Lazo, who signed me up here, is the best. She took the time to get to know me and matched me with the perfect trainer. I can say Jessica truly cares about me and my fitness goals. read more

Love that there's so much available. On top of gym, sauna, steam room and kids club. There's also massage, nails, hair, facials and more. Those cost extra, but the prices are reasonable and it's all in one place with child care which makes it well worth it! read more

Really nice facility but I got a tour that was cut short because the rep had to go to a meeting and then the rep who finished my tour never even followed up on all the things he promised. I got an email from a random person who wasn't very helpful. I was ready to join but dropping the ball like that told me that they probably wouldn't care about me as a customer. It's too bad. read more

Love this place! Has every machine and amenity you can think of. It is very clean and almost everyone is friendly. Free parking up to 3 hours on weekdays and free all day on the weekends. Plenty of parking in the garage. Very clean and spacious. Nice cafe inside and places to work. I enjoyed taking Alpha class with Katy and also a hot yoga class. He was very knowledgeable. Men's locker area is very clean. Pool area is nice as well. Nothing negative to say about this place. read more

Oh no!!! Customer service is zero... no one is in the front desk to answer your question. I had a guest pass for my friend to try out this place ... they didn't let her in because it was after 9:00 pm She just wanted to see the gym and compared to equinox. But now not that she didn't come to lifetime to get membership I got a membership to equinox with higher class and better equipment and customer service is excellent... no wonder centurion bill card is dealing with them. No to lifetime NO read more

I've been to a lot of gyms and always appreciate good customer service. I'd just like to acknowledge Sam and give him a shout out. This man has been such a tremendous help in answering any questions I may have on memberships or informing me of developments within the gym.

Great gym, I'm still working on a route after a year, but I've met some great people.

Good club, front desk staff just act like Robots. Poor customer service, pool is a vibe though. Nice locker room. Only negative is they have a hard time answer questions and acting like a normal human being at the front. read more

I signed up for this gym while I was on vacation and didn't get to visit until I came home. I used to come here when it was a 24 Hour Fitness and the location is perfect. My first time actually visiting the gym was a week ago. I told the guy at the front desk that it was my first time there and that I had never been inside of the gym. He checked me in and made sure I got my ticket validated. He failed to offer me a tour of the place. Now, I'm not going to make a huge deal over it, but I am knocking off one star for that. I've visited the gym almost every single day since and at different times. The people that come here are laser focused on working out. There's not a lot of time spent socializing or watching people scroll through their phones as they take up time on a piece of equipment you might need. I absolutely love that. The people are also super kind and respectful of one another. Today I took my first class in the early morning and it kicked my butt. The instructor was incredibly good and I'm definitely signing up for more classes. I haven't worked out in over 3 years and I feel so welcome here. I don't feel any judgement from the staff or from the people who also work out here. My office in Irvine shares the parking structure with Equinox and I've been offered a discount to go there. I'm glad I chose here instead. I'm not sure why there are so many 1 star reviews for this place. My personal experience here so far has been amazing and it's encouraged me to continue on with my fitness journey! read more

The absence of hot water in the gym has become a daily challenge, forcing me to endure icy showers that hinder my post-workout recovery and demotivate me from continuing my fitness routine. It's crucial that the gym management address this issue promptly to enhance the overall gym experience for its members" I would like them to extend validation parking from 3 hours to at least 4 hours so that members can take it easy after long workouts: Let's broaden the parking validation program " The cafe is exceptionally expensive. read more

Great gym. Wanted to highlight Elvis the manager is the best part forsure. He's handled any issues I've ever had phenomenally. Great pick as manager. Very professional. Thanks read more

You can't even hear yourself think with the basketballs going all day. You would think for an upper class gym that they would've at least surrounded it with glass so we didn't have to hear it the whole time and actually have a peaceful work out not to mention the group class upstairs , takes the best place for a girl to work on her butt and not feel weird. there's plenty of studio rooms to put the classes in ( that never have classes going) but they continue to put them in open spaces in front of the cardio equipment where that's the only place to do abs because there's always another class going on upstairs. The actual weight room is maybe 1/6 of the total gym and is always crowded. Basically the 24 got a paint job. It also really seems to be geared towards child care... kids everywhere they even shut down parts of the gym for them to have activities. Also, I get the same protein shake every single day and I have some many different locations and it always ends up being different so obviously the macros are off in the shake that I paid $13 for.. read more

So guys, firstly, we love this gym. However before this recent occurrence, I would've given Lifetime-Irvine five stars but that's now controversial...I'm very curious to know how many committed paying members here have had to show their birth certificates & marriage certificates because it honestly feels like an odd request for such personal info from a personnel, would love to know if this is kosher and it's 100% Lifetime protocol? Also out of transparency I wasn't sure whether or not to post a pic of their email request but it's definitely debatable. BTW, We may cover this topic in our upcoming podcast...in the meantime we'll see how this pans out! read more

The absolute worst experience I've ever had at any gym period! Harshanie Bandara treated us horribly and had the worst attitude you can possibly have as a greeter ! As a former member of lifetime (along with 8 other family members) not only I will never rejoin this gym but I will make sure to share my thoughts and experiences with anyone I come across. What a shame! read more

I had really high hopes going into this gym but immediately as I entered the door I felt discomfort by the staff. The profiling starts immediately I was looked up and down by the front desk like I wasn't worthy. If you don't look like the standard OC person you're judged. Sad how that's the gyms culture and all of that just for a subpar gym that makes it seem high end but in reality is the same as every other gym. read more

I love children, but not at my gym. I've been coming to this beautiful pool for over 20 years when it was 24 Hour fitness. I met my husband here. It has been a wonderful, peaceful place for me to swim and enjoy the outdoor jacuzzi. Now there are toddlers in the jacuzzi splashing water in my face. Parents "supervising" their young children in the pool from the jacuzzi!!! This is so unsafe. Babies in diapers with no bowel control in the pool. Children yelling! No staff around to monitor this or stop it. I'm so sad! It's literally torture at times to come. read more
