If you have kids this place is a no brainer for my family of four it is cheaper then part time daycare for 1 of my kids. There are so many classes and all of them have trainers that make the classes fun and inclusive to all abilities and training levels. The gym is huge with tons of equipment and it is the only gym where equipment is ever fixed or replaced quickly and efficiently not that machines go down very often. Everyone is just so happy here and who can blame them it feels like a luxury country club and the outdoor space in the summer feels more like your on a beach resort. The whole place is always clean and well maintained. If you are thinking about booking a tour, do it. It is worth every penny.

ifetime review The…read moreWORST customer service I have EVER experienced... I'm not a member but you would think the front desk staff, Menka would treat me fairly, with decency and respect. I have been purchasing smoothies at the Lifetime Ajax location for YEARS, not everyday but on the odd occasion... mind you their smoothies are hella expensive but sooo good, so I don't mind to splurge as a paying customer. As of recently I've been repeatedly harassed, taunted and embarrassed by Menka (the front staff) in front of members of the club. Menka gets to pick and choose when I can and can't enter the facility... EVEN after I have spoken to numerous managers who have expressed that YES, though I am not a member I can still enter the facility for a snack at the Life cafe or even a spa treatment. Yesterday, I was accused of being aggressive and angry. Characterized as a hostile, ill-tempered individual in front of many members. Why would I be aggressive and angry when I've been told on numerous occasions that I'm allowed to be here? As a black women to be told your being aggressive and angry when you are simply trying to get clarification on a policy is a harmful, persuasive stereotype. Like everyone else I am entitled to express my concerns in a respectful manner and recognize that treating people with respect, dignity and understanding is the best way to get your point across. I cannot believe they have individuals representing their company and talking to potential members or ANYONE like that! I would hope she would want to deescalate the situation instead of making it worse with the false accusations and name calling, especially while she is STILL working on the floor. I have over 20+ years in customer service and I'm very aware of how to de-escalate customer issues. I too work in the yoga/fitness industry as well as the financial sector and so I am very knowledgable of how to speak to others. She needs major training to alter her bias behaviour, remarks and how to promote inclusivity, so that she can represent the company at their high standards OR find someone else who doesn't have a chip on their shoulder over a smoothie and who can manage the front desk engagement. If I could give NO star, I would honestly speaking, but during my visits, Linda and Ryan have made a powerful impact on my experience. I do want to thank them for their generosity and for coming over to console me when I was tearful, and emotionally exhausted from repeatedly explaining myself. I know where I am welcomed, and I am not welcomed at Life Time even if it's as small and insignificant as a smoothie, how she treats people at the front says a lot. When asked for an apology, Menka stated" I'm sorry YOU feel I was rude. That wasn't my intention." That's who they have working the front desk. That's the apology given, after she verbally assaulted me and embarrassed me in front of members. Unbelievable

Earlier this year I was the heaviest I had ever been and it was time to get some help. I spent a…read morefew days online looking for trainers, talking to them about what I was looking for and needed (I'm a little bratty and don't take direction very well and needed someone who could put me in my place but still have fun) and pricing. I had lined up 7 trainers to meet with during the week. My first appointment was with Stef from PPT. She was literally everything I was looking for and needed. Something in my gut told me to go with her and not even bother with the rest and that's exactly what I did. I have absolutely no regrets. I trained with Stef from the beginning of June until the end of September. In that time I managed to lose just over 30lbs. She was with me every step of the way. Our sessions were challenging but fun. When it came to the food she never missed a beat. Always ready to help, even when I went to restaurants and didn't know what to order off the menu. She went above and beyond to help push me every single day. Even on those days when I was just ready to give up. She never cancelled on me and made sure I never cancelled on her (even though there were times I really wanted to lol) if it wasn't for financial reasons I would still train with Stef up until this day. She gave me the skills and information I needed to know so that I can make better food choices. Before I met her all I ate was pasta. Now I know how to plan a healthy meal and still feel satisfied without the pasta. She helped me gain the confidence I needed to go to the gym on my own and feel comfortable using the different equipment. She has changed my life and still continues to be my number one supporter in my weight loss goals now that I'm doing it on my own. Thanks to Stef I'm definitely more confident about myself, not just physically but mentally and emotionally too
