Yes, Lifetime Fitness is expensive. When I joined, I felt that $40/month was a little excessive but appreciated the wealth of amenities I was provided. I eventually canceled in favor of a cheaper rate at LA Fitness and have learned that Lifetime has raised their monthly dues to an astronomical $50. If this is true, I can't imagine why anyone would sign up. Sure, the facility is more like a compound in size, but how many people will actually take advantage of everything offered to them? I used only the cardio equipment, free weights, and basketball courts. I estimate that most people don't even utilize that much. If you're the type of person that appreciates pools, water slides, squash, rock climbing, tanning beds, day spas, cafes, an uncountable number of saunas, and watching television in the locker room, then this gym is for you. Me, I just want to work out for 47 minutes, shoot some hoops, and go home. This gym clearly isn't for everyone, but I guess it's for someone. read more

I love it! But of course my crazy cousin and I were part of the crowd that works out on a Saturday from 9pm to midnight... We were did the spa, lunch, shopped, dinner, and then to work off all the food... My first time there as a guest. It was clean, smells good, and has all the equipment you can think of. We did cardio for 50 mins, weight machines/exercise ball for 50 mins. and swam for 50 mins. I could barely drove home! Good times! read more

I had to cancel my membership after a sudden loss of income due to a suicide in the family. I explained my delicate situation to the employee working the front desk (Brandon) and he was extremely sympathetic and kind about the whole thing; offering his condolences, and at no point pressuring me to keep my membership. Then I went to the aquatic center to also cancel our swim lessons for my daughter and the Aquatics Director, Drew, was understanding and kind about the whole thing as well. He even offered to let me cancel our swim lessons effective immediately, so that I didn't have to pay for a new month's worth at the next billing cycle, but to allow my daughter to continue taking the classes through the remaining 3 weeks of my membership using the make-up classes that we had on our account. That was definitely appreciated. Perhaps someday when my circumstances change I can return as a member again. read more

I had always wanted to check out Life Time because we used to live less than 10 minutes away from the Tempe location. About a year ago my fiancé and I stopped in and knew we had found our new gym! This place literally has everything you would ever need from a gym. Plenty of space, cardio equipment as well as free weights. There's a ton of classes available and I personally love the pool, steam room and sauna. We moved to Mesa 6 months ago but continue to drive out of our way because we love this gym so much. Go check it out! read more

I joined it for the climbing wall, then found myself going there all the time. it is by far the best gym I have ever been to. Everything is spread out and there are enough machines and weights so I never really find myself waiting for anything. They are also open 24 hrs so I can go at odd times. My only complaint is that the climbing wall has very limited hours. I wish teh wall was open as long as the gym is! read more

All you have to do is read a bunch of the reviews and you will see that Lifetime Fitness is the real deal. I mean, they have everything you could possibly imagine in a gym and more. They have state of the art equipment, an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a cafe, a bistro, a salon, sauna, steam rooms, childs center, etc., etc., etc. Trust me, it's all here and then some. BUT... what really gets me is that they do not do well with the little things. Little things like toilet paper. I mean, is there anything worse than rushing to the toilet, doing your business and then finding there is no toilet paper! This hasn't happened once. It happens frequently. Now, it's the first thing I check. Anyway, it doesn't stop there. Many of the locker doors are like falling off the hinges. The steam room is routinely broken and not functional. I'm telling you it's little stuff. For example, the clock outside the sauna was broken. Shit happens right. It took them a month to replace it? We're talking about a wall clock and it's kinda important to have one in a sauna. This place really rocks it out in so many ways. It really does. The cafe is just awesome. But somebody there in management really needs to take a close look at the little things. read more

Quitting lifetime because of the terrible hours. They insist on closing at 10 and won't extend their hours until midnight "due to Covid", yet the gym is PACKED from 8-10. Good luck getting on a machine if you try to come before closing. Because the hours are limited, it is shoulder to shoulder at nighttime and does not allow for any social distancing. Don't even bother coming anytime from 6-10 pm, you'll end up waiting an hour just to get in the sauna. If they truly cared about Covid, they would extend hours to midnight so that everyone could social distance and spread out more. Lifetime does not care about social distancing, just profit and saving money by closer early. Sauna has also broken 3 times in the last two months. This is not what you would expect from a premium gym. I'm excited to go to the 24 hour brand new EOS across the street. Won't be returning to Lifetime until they extend their hours. read more

Everyone at work always used to rave about Lifetime and my natural rebellious spirit always wanted to hate it because it seemed so trendy. After some prodding from a persistent co-worker and several unwanted pounds packed on, I thought, what the heck, why not? I went on one of her guest passes and when I saw the over sized pool and salon on my walk in, I assumed my suspicions were true about the trendiness and figured it'd be full of barbie and ken dolls like most gyms I have been to in the past. To my surprise, there were people of all shapes and sizes. As she showed me around, I didn't notice anyone eyeing me and sizing me up, which is something that drives me nuts about gyms, or rather the people at gyms. I used the full two week pass to attend several of the group classes they have including core and Pilates and I really enjoyed the classes and instructors. No matter what time I went, there were always cardio machines available because they have a ton. Total surprise since I have always had to wait at the 5 o'clock "rush hour" at other gyms. I decided to look into the membership which is $50 a month. It is more expensive than other memberships and you can't just go to all of the other locations, but those are two thing I'm ok with sacrificing. I really enjoy working out here and actually feel comfortable, which is really important to me. I still really enjoy the classes and haven't had to wait for a machine yet. I also frequent the cafe they have downstairs and love it! The food is really good, all of the nutrition facts are right there on the menu board and they have daily specials, so it's affordable. A few things I didn't love that were pretty gym standard in my experience include the free meeting with a personal trainer where they spend the time trying to get you to sign up for personal training and invest in an expensive heart monitor and testing. These things always make me feel super uncomfortable. I'm also not totally in love with the staff members I've encountered. Most are nice, but I feel like they are a bit snotty at the check in counter at times. And of course, the super cheap advertised start up fees had small print and were more than I expected. All in all though, I'm really pleased with my choice to join this gym. I guess you can just call me one of the trendy kids now. ;) read more

This Gym is truely awesome. It's a huge gym with so many options for workouts. The eucalyptus steam room on its own is motivation to get to the gym everyday. Brandon was extremely helpful when I signed up and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and taken care of. Looking forward to so many more workouts! read more

12/22/16 3 stars: After 11 months, the finally cancelled my membership and refunded over $600. Just wish it had not been such an ordeal and they had done the right thing I. the first place. 12/1/16 1 star: I have a medical doctor's note that has taken me off of this I tried canceling several times and I am still being charged 9 months later $61.31 every month for 9 months even though they have received and responded to a letter from my doctor I would give 0 Stars if I could. read more

Just cancelled my membership. Terrible customer service, every time I went to the customer service counter some meat head with a tie couldn't be bothered to answer a simple question. One responded once with "that's not my job, I have to deal with a platinum member ask someone in the front desk." Something that was a big deal to me; I have little ones who take swim lessons. Every time we went to the family locker room to change, there were grown men and women walking through to get to the pools faster. It made my kids uncomfortable. I address it with staff numerous of times and nothing. There was one gentleman in particular who actually used the family locker room to change and shower. Mind you there are children around. I even told him myself, there is a locker room for adults please use that one. Next day, there he was! Again I told the staff and nothing! read more

Caution: I've been an Onyx member for a little over a year. Cancelled my membership yesterday. They just don't enforce their own rules. I came to them about misconduct(a light shove and the F word) by another member. Apparently they already knew this guy was a problem(3 other instances). I asked them to take care of this, they would not. I cancelled my membership on the spot. I doubt I'll be running into any of this at The Village health club. OK club- not concerned about their members. read more

Ok I am poor...and Lifetime is the reason for it. But you know what...I don't care...I heart LIfetime Fitness. It is the only gym that I actually feel comfortable working out in. They never tried to upsell me on packages. My sales manager (who works in Scottsdale) is the best. But on top of everything else...I love my trainer. (this is why I am poor...but I love him so) He is the best and believe me...when the manager was choosing a trainer for me...they knew what they were doing. Matt is the best. He is so worth it. I am going to have my first experience with the classes tomorrow, and I have signed up for volleyball. (hint hint...they need more players) The lifespa is awesome, and the Life Cafe has the best Chicken Pesto sandwich in the world. Everybody is so friendly there...and the whole gym is extremely clean...another thing that I like. I cannot complain in the least. read more

NOTE: This review is for the workout areas and smoothie bar only. I haven't had a chance to take advantage of the spa yet. This gym is remarkable. I've belonged to incredibly nice gyms before, including a country club, and this gym easily compares in quality. The employees are generally very nice, though many of them have sales in mind. They seem very genuine, but are pushy nevertheless. If you're comfortable with saying no and walking away, this is a non-issue. The smoothie bar is a bit pricey for the size and quality of the smoothies. I tried one of their smoothies and it was... ok, at best. The whey protein was extremely noticeable and almost grainy. The smoothie tasted under-mixed, and the staff behind the counter seemed agitated. The workout floor is absolutely massive. It seems like an excessive number of machines, frankly, but I really can't complain about that. I have almost my choice of any machine in the joint considering it's 24 hour and I go late in the evening. I still need to try out their classes and spa, but from what little I've experienced in my week of membership, the $50/month price tag is MORE than worth the facilities. They are always clean and always open. BOTTOM LINE: The price is worth what you get in return. read more

Lifetime fitness is the bomb. How do I know this? Because I have worked out at probably 100 different gyms during my 8 years of traveling the country playing minor league baseball. At Lifetime you get what you pay for and Lifetime is not cheap. It's always meticulously clean, stocked with towels and has plenty of free and pay for classes if you like classes. If you wanted to, you could literally spend the whole day at Lifetime at have everything you need from the cafe, pool, child care (max 2 hours), hair and nail salon, free WiFi, lounging area in the locker room with couches and a flat screen TV, Jacuzzi, sauna, etc, etc, etc. If you don't mind the price, 40/mnth for a basic membership, you will love Lifetime and never want to work out anywhere else. read more

I can't believe the reviews that this place has received so far! WOW!! I concede, yes it is very expensive when compared to other gyms, but a BMW is expense when compared to a Ford.... In my life I've belonged to The Courthouse (tiny gym), LA Fitness, ASU Student Rec Center, Q Fitness (now 24 hour fitness) and the YMCA and I can honestly say that all pale in comparison to this facility. Quick disclaimer: Not all LifeTime Fitness centers are the same! The one in Gilbert is great, but not as amazing as this facility. When I moved to MN (home of LifeTime Fitness) I actually plotted out where we would live based on the proximity to one of their gyms. The closest one to me is in no way comparable to the facility in Tempe and as a result we are no longer members. If I lived even remotely close to a facility like this one I would join again in a heartbeat. Now on to the review. My wife actually signed us up under the family plan without me around. When she told me how much it was (~$90/month for the entire family) I was a bit put back. But after my first visit I felt the money was well spent and that we were even getting a deal! I often describe this facility as a "country club". Everything about this place is just amazing. Locker Rooms - Incredibly well appointed with a ton of space, a lounge, sauna and steam room. The lockers are large and their card/key system saves a lot of time for those of us that always forget to bring a lock with them. Cardio - There's no way anyone can complain about this! Even at peak times there are almost always machines available in every category (treadmill, bike, elliptical, etc). The machines are well maintained and the abundance of large screen TVs will keep you distracted from your achy legs. Weight Machines - You name it, they have it. There are more here than I would ever use, but if you want to work that little muscle that connects those two things that you n ever use, they probably have a machine here to do it. Free Weights - They have a ton of free weights with some set-ups that I have yet to find in other facilities. Plenty of space to workout and plenty of weights for everyone to use. Basketball - Two full size courts that are open and clean. Great courts to play on. Squash - Probably my one complaint is that they have squash courts and no racquetball courts. Of course most would argue that squash is more technical than racquetball and I should get some skill and stop bitching. Rock Climbing - Probably one of the most underused aspects of the gym. I rarely saw people on this, but is was a heck of a set-up! Tennis - This was extra and since I'm not much of a tennis player I didn't sign up for this feature, but it seemed like a nice facility. Pool - Indoor and outdoor pools, so you can swim all year long. The outdoor pool had some AMAZING "scenery" during the warmer months. I wouldn't go so far as to compare it to a Vegas hotel pool, but it was darn impressive! Kid Zone - This is one of the things that sold it for us. The facility for kids was outstanding, with separate areas set up for different ages and an abundance of activities and areas for all kids. Indoor, lower hood basketball. Outdoor play area. Huge indoor "jungle gym". Computers. Crafts. This truly was an amazing part of the gym. And the great thing is, if you want to relax instead of work out, this aspect of the gym becomes even more helpful! You want to get a haircut and a massage? Drop the kids off and head to the spa! You want to sit back and relax? Drop the kids off and head to the pool or hot tub. The kids look forward to it and it's great for the parents! Spa - My wife used this more than me and was happy with the experiences that she had here. We didn't use it as much as we could have, but no complaints. Cafe - Decent food for a little cafe in a gym. I ate many a breakfast there on my way to work after a cardio session. Overall I just don't think that I've ever been in a better gym. Yes it's expensive, but even at a higher price I feel as if I always got a good deal for the money I spent. read more

I feel like I'm getting away with something...how is it I can get so much and pay so little? I cancelled my membership at Yoga Deva (see my review) and started at Lifetime. I LOVED Yoga Deva - Shosh was amazing! But I just felt like I need to lift weights and get into the habit of running again. I can only afford one membership and since Lifetime offers Yoga too...Deva had to go :( I love Lifetime. It's as simple as that. I got the most basic membership (because I'm a simple person) and I still feel like I have more than enough services to meet my physical needs. If only they made men like this.... I am definitely a fan of Lifetime!! read more

I'll be as brief as I can with this one. So... here are the pros: Very clean A variety of classes Pool, indoor and out Brand new treadmills- They ALL work! (rare in most gyms) Family price deals Nice showers, no grungy sinks or hair around drains (eww) Helpful staff Cons? Not very kid friendly if you enroll your kid for swim lessons or summer camp. Staff is young and inexperienced - worse thing of all: my four year old took swimming lessons last year, and I caught him almost drowning. They don't pay attention to kids individually as they should, even if it's a group. Also, they take them outside to swim in 120 degree weather in the summer. Uh, shouldn't they be using the indoor pool? Conclusion: Good for adults and exercise, NOT too great for summer camps and swim lessons. read more

You get what you put into it. Club is nice but my complaints are related to the membership requirements and how hard it is to cancel your subscription. read more

I've been going to Lifetime for about two years now and I love it! Before that I was at L.A. Fitness and it was fine as far as gyms go, however, the reason for the switch was the timing of my workout. I decided I wanted to start working out in the mornings before work and I instantly knew two things: 1) I would save about 30 minutes (or get an extra 30 minutes of workout) if I started showering at the gym and 2) there was no way I was going to shower at L.A. Fitness. YUCK! So, the search for a nice gym began. I didn't have to look too far, Lifetime is actually closer to my house. And yes, it is a little bit more expensive, however it is well worth it to me. I think if you are a consistent gym goer, spending a little extra money makes sense. I love that there is a cafe where I can grab some coffee on the way to work, or breakfast, or lunch depending on when I'm there. They have a good selection of food and open at 6 am! The locker rooms are always clean. The towels could be a little bigger/thicker/better, but they'll do (seeing as how there isn't any sort of towel service fee). The staff is friendly, even super early in the morning when I usually go. They are always smiling, saying "good morning," and wishing me a good workout! I've taken a few of the classes there and I really enjoy them. I've worked out with a few of the personal trainers and haven't been disappointed yet. The thing that still amazes me is that no matter how full the parking lot is, there are always machines available. I hate that "after work" rush, which is why I go in the A.M., however even the few times that I have gone at the peak of business, I have never had to wait to use a machine; and that is worth the extra money!! read more

Awesome gym. Great trainers and facilities. Would definitely recommend this place. More expensive than most gyms but you get what you pay for. If you can get past the lady at the front desk being rude, you're golden!! read more

Pissed at this place. Aside from the way too small weight training room where you legit have to fight for a bench on chest day. And the unhygienic practice of the whole place. Not a single spray bottle to wipe down mats or equipment. When brought to their attention a personal trainers says "you think you're going to get a staph infection or something, make sure to shower" wtf!? Absolutely gross!!! Anyway I went in to cancel at the end of June. Telling me that I'd be charged for July. Fine in ok with that. August comes and I'm charged once again. They tell me I came in July. I was out of town in July!!! Never entered the club once. The swim lessons got the memo as I wasn't charged for August swim. I read about this places dishonesty when coming to cancellation. I thought it was too easy when I went in on June 27 and cancelled. This place will never get a referral or my business for the rest of my lifetime. read more

God Bless Lifetime Fitness. First off, let me tell you how much I despise working out. Like, at times I'd rather drink my own pee than even come within 50 feet of the stair stepper. However, LTF (have you noticed that I like to abbreviate? Get used to it friends...) makes my gym experience fairly painless. Steve W, I salute you for aknowledging the value of such a fine work-out establishment, and I actually have many of the same opinions. But because I like to hear myself talk, I'll reiterate some of my favorite points. First off, I'm absolutely not a fan of children. Especially at a gym. Lifetime has FREE childcare for kiddos 12 and under so us singles can flirt our way through our workout without your kids sniffling and screaming. Kids can play and swim outside under parental supervision at the pool, complete with waterslides and some kid-specifc water fountain spray thing. They love it. And I do too. WATERSLIDES? I mean come on. LoveitLoveit. Lifetime's members span the board, which is nice because I like the fact that I'm not the most out of shape person there. I also like that there is nice scenery to watch and inspire me to keep my feet on that god forsaken stair stepper. You may even see a professional athelete or TV personality on occasion. Who doesnt love that? You never wait for a piece of equipement because there are tons of machines. And they are not covered in meathead sweat, which is always nice. My favorite part of LTF is the group classes. Excellent teachers, classes every day of the week, and a good variety of options. I'd like to see more coreographed classes like Hip-Hop, but whatever, Kickboxing Jam is pretty damn close. Locker rooms are always spotless, towel service is free, sauna and steam rooms arent full of weirdo naked people, and they have this device that dries your bathing suit in under a minute. Ingenious! I've been a member of a ton of Scottsdale gyms but I drive the extra 20 minutes in rush hour to go to the Tempe LTF. Doesnt road rage burn calories anyway?? Win-win situation. read more

I love this gym- No pressure sales. Money-back guarantee and great facilities. It's a little gimmicky with the spa and cafe and LTBucks but over all a good space with nice clean, functioning equipment. Shane helped me sign up and he really took care of me without the sales guy feel. If your thinking of signing up you should go talk to him- he;ll hook you up and show you around without any pressure. Very straightforward. I'll update more as I use my membership. read more

Lifetime Fitness is an awesome gym. I've been a member since 2005. They have everything there (tennis courts, indoor/outdoor pool, cafe, classes, etc.). The classes are awesome and they have many different options depending on your fitness level. If you want a great workout take James' classes. He's awesome! The only (and there's only one!) complaint I would have which makes me not give this gym 5 stars is the cleanliness in the gym classes. I don't know how often they sweep/mop but there are always (yes, always!) pieces of hair laying on the wooden gym floors. It is pretty gross! There are so many people in those classes everyday I think they need to have someone sweep EVERY day. Other than the dirty floors in the gym classes this is a GREAT gym and I'd definitely recommend it. It's worth the $50+ a month if you like being active and staying in shape. -Also, Lawrence Schlett is an amazing trainer there too. read more

Horrible experience!!! For the past 20yrs, I've always belonged to a gym. This was the worst, ever! I started by signing up with a personal trainer (he was awesome) however, I ended up having major hand surgery on both hands and was unable to finish my last 4 sessions. After many attempts to speak to someone and I'm talking weeks for someone to get back with me. LTF refused to reimburse me for he last 4 sessions! I also feel like $120 a month for a single person is way over the limit, especially for a gym that has out dated equipment. I belonged to Lowes YMCA ($65 a month) and that gym makes LTF look like a dump! read more

This gym may spoil you for all the other fitness chains in the valley. I have to say I love this place and I don't say that often. Let me count the ways: Towel service. Clubs for jogging, cycling, tennis, probably some others I didn't even get into. Plenty of machines. TV's that aren't ALL tuned to ESPN. Wireless cafe. My point is they go out of their way to make you feel like you're part of a community. It's expensive, but you get so much more with your money that it's worth upgrading. It's only about half what you'd pay for cable and way healthier. I know others have said that it feels more like a spa or a country club. I agree. I could easily see myself just hanging out here in between workouts, getting a snack, and then going for a swim or yoga class or hey a haircut if you feel like it. I never used a sauna or steam bath before visiting this gym, but I fell in love with using them here. Then I saw the same amenities at other gyms and found out that the ones at LT are much nicer. The worst thing they did was double book me for a training appointment and then the trainer never called back to reschedule after taking my number and promising a callback time. Not pleased about that but nobody's perfect (although I'm pretty sure that if I was an attractive lady I would have gotten a call back, judging from the customers that this particular trainer did manage to find time for). The only reason I would look anywhere else is how far south this location is. Traversing from central Phoenix after work requires at least 3 merges onto rush hour traffic. The way people drive here makes this a very risky proposition to life, limb, and vehicle. Maybe once I get a monster truck I can finally fit in with the cool kids of Tempe and get some respect on the roads. Until then I'm going to have to find a gym closer to me, or else a job closer to this gym. For those who don't have near death experiences in traffic though, I don't think you can do better than this place. read more

Loving the Lifetime.. Clearly you get what you pay for.. but its worth the splurge.. and truly, my opinion is that I can spend the moola out eating or get my butt to the best gym in PHX.. Locker rooms are great.. hair dryers.. sauna.. Love the fact that theres a small little cafe.. so you can grab a HEALTHY bite out the door running to your busy life.. Great pool.. lots of cardio machines and classes! read more

State of the art facility! More like a resort than a gym.. Everything you want and a lot that you didn't know you wanted. However, you pay for it! Also, has a tendency to get extremely crowded. If money is no issue than you are probably the demographic that Lifetime caters to. read more

I have been a LT member for 4 years and this weekend was my first trip to the Tempe location. I felt very at home. Great staff - very knowledgeable and friendly. As all of the LT clubs are, it is very clean and has all of the same amenities my "home" club has. If you really use all of the gym's facilities, it's worth it. read more

I love Lifetime my beautiful Daughter loves to go rock climbing I live the sauna and pools for an extra kick to my workout! People at the front desk and cafe are awesome! read more

This gym is not worth what it charges We frequent this gym after hours to avoid the crowds. The staff has failed to answer questions often stating, "I don't know" in response to basic questions such as "Are you open on Holidays?" "Do you have Wi-Fi"? Towels are rough, torn and stained. If you go to the gym at night, be prepared for the dump -- towels and trash litter the entire gym. Beware on the cardio machines, you have to tune into radio stations to listen. I asked staff about this and they said, you guessed it, "I don't know". Overhead, you have to hear the Lifetime sales pitch on the loud speakers while working out. Annoying. Do we have to resort to Walkmans? No televisions on the cardio equipment. The 90 day challenge is a joke. We met with a trainer and immediately found ourselves involved in a selling pitch for more workout sessions. We said we were not interested and we have never heard from the trainer since. We are canceling our membership, this gym fails to deliver quality. read more

Love it! Love it! Love it! I have been to most gyms in the Phoenix area (and Boston, for that matter), and Lifetime is definitely at the top. I just convinced most of my family to join. Has everything you need and then some! Update: While I still love this place, the maintenance is quite lacking. Pieces of equipment will be broken for over a month or more before they are fixed. I am pretty diligent about reporting equipment that needs to be repaired/maintained, but apparently the staff at Lifetime is not so diligent about getting things fixed. Very unfortunate, especially for a fitness center of this caliber and at the cost of the memberships. read more

I have worked out here for 6 years. Here are some of the things I have experienced: -Triathlon program is on point. From masters swim classes to the morning run club to the studio cycle and outdoor cycling groups. I used these services to prepare for and complete 3 full Ironman competitions. - Group fitness classes are inclusive and supportive. I did several group programs. There were a wide variety of people taking them with different levels of fitness. No one was left out, everyone supported each other, and it was a lot of fun. - Personal training has been very expensive, sometimes overpriced sometimes perfect. I have had 5 trainers here. Three were not very competent, I did not continue long with them and they did not keep their jobs. 2 of the trainers I had were amazing and helped me reach some pretty lofty fitness goals. I continue to recommend Kayla and Geoff regularly because they are worth the investment. - Treadmills/cardio equipment is plentiful and you will never have to wait. - Lifting area (free weights and Olympic platforms) not enough space or equipment. If you come at a bad time you will be stuck waiting. - Pools indoor and outdoor are family friendly and very clean. - Men's showers need better ventilation, they smell terrible in the morning when crowded. - Sales team is always walking around with new clients. They use a standard sales system. Before I joined, I didn't do the tour, I just got a visitor pass and checked the place out. So I don't really have an impression of the sales team. I do know this is a business. They have to make sales. -Locker room is ok. Needs new lockers. -Cafe service is great and the food is healthy and fresh I saved the childcare for last. I have children w special needs. It is not easy to find a place where I feel safe to leave them in someone else's care for fear of bullying and embarrassment. The childcare at lifetime fitness is very special. The staff goes above and beyond to provide a supervised safe space. I am thankful that they do such a great job. I will continue to go here till it closes or I die. Even if I have to wait for the free weights. read more

We have been members here for about 10 years and my 9 year old son has attended the Martial Arts program with instructor Jon Rich for approximately 2 years. We can't say enough about this program and Jon as an instructor. He has helped to create a positive and engaging environment in which our son has thrived. Thank you Jon! read more

The customer service here is topnotch. Never have I had an issue with any employee, in fact many have gone out of their way to assist & help, without even being asked to! The group fitness & yoga instructors (Jody, Karra, Kerri, Jason, Theresa, Marsha) are more than welcoming & extremely friendly & most importantly they are knowledge. Not to mention the amount of classes & variety offered. The overall cleanliness is satisfactory. The machines are always being wiped down & the locker rooms are pristine. The indoor/outdoor pools are fantastic, great for relaxing, kids or getting in some laps. There are enough personal trainers, all with knowledge in various aspects of lifting, exercising & working out. I have had three trainers (Charley, Lina & Nicole) who have opened my eyes to many new ways of training. For anyone with a back injury this is a huge plus! Nothing can compare to the LIfeTime in Tempe. The $55 a month is well worth it, especially for someone who takes advantage of everything there is to offer. I began paying $67 a month but the front desk (Brandon) lowered my rate, after I had been gone for a while with my account on hold, because I have been such a loyal customer - I didn't even ask for the rate to be lowered! Going to another gym is out of the question; even after I moved 25 minutes away I am still a member. read more

This is more then a gym, feels like a country club. It has everything you need, day care, basketball, raquet ball, indoor pool, outdoor pool, training classes, lots of cardio. The equipment is well spaced out and setup with whatever you are working out for that day. The staff is very friendly and the trainers are all over the place and ready to help you with anything. This place even has a cafe with healthy food and drink options, hell you can even get your hair done and the salon. You need it this place has it for you, I highly recommend this gym even though its not your typical bodybuilding gym. read more

We have been members in Arizona over 11 years and have been subject to price increases and membership status increases. Recently we tried to utilize a club in N J that was closer to home, but it is a "Diamond" status, where in Arizona all we were offered was platinum at the time and now are Onyx. To use a Diamond Status club we now have to pay additional membership fees. This was not disclosed to us at the time of our membership. Called the company office and the young lady was RUDE and when I asked why we had to pay the additional member ship fee she indicated because it was a Diamond club. When asked what was the difference, she said it could be because of services, cost to maintain the club, higher real estate fees, salaries, and other non club services. She had no real answer. Then she rushed me off the line. Look for other options in your health club search! read more

This gym just keeps getting better. They have quality instructors, good classes I hope they keep the variety coming.

Watch your account if you freeze for any reason. I was told I'd be charged $20 /month but was not told that a 30 day notice is required unless medical document is provided. I was not even asked. Just told it would be froze and rate would be 20. But surprise- I was charged 60 on next bill date. Poor communication on so many levels here. Also watch your LT bucks. Staff have for whatever reason applied 60 my LT bucks to a training session I did not sign up for. It was reversed, but kind of shady. read more
