    Made it to Lifetime boulders grand opening before leaving to Arizona!…read more I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed with the staff and how friendly they are. Your GPS will send you to a parking garage, which is the correct parking garage. The Lifetime pool is to the right of the entrance so if you are looking at the gate of the pool, you're heading the right way. This Lifetime is single story one level and my favorite part is the indoor lap pool, hot tub, cold plunge steam room, and sauna combination. The kitchen here is not a full-service kitchen, so you'll find lots of snacks and easy things like avocado toast. I do love the booths here. They're super aesthetic and comfy. I also like the GTX/ultra fit room. I can't wait to come back to take a class here. Lots of spots open the picture that I took only shows half the room so just double the spots. Double the spots for double the fun!

    I was visiting Boulder and grabbed a guest pass. Whoa!!!! I've never stepped into a gym this…read morepristine or this stacked with amenities. Every single piece of equipment is state-of-the-art, spotless, and feels brand new. The outdoor pool is amazing and having an indoor pool for winter is a total game changer and a must for Boulder. I was greeted at the front desk by the friendliest guy ever, which set the tone. The locker room felt more like a luxury spa than a gym and was immaculate, modern, and honestly kind of gorgeous. The treadmills were next-level too. They even had a setting where it feels like you're pushing a sled. And the recovery area....Unreal. Massages, deep stretching, pneumatic leg recovery--the works. This is the kind of place you look forward to coming back to again and again. First impressions matter, and this one was straight-up number one. I wish my small town where I live had a luxury like this.

    The staff here is so wonderful and nice, every single time you come in. All of them as well,…read moreespecially the big guy with long hair, he's like the nicest human being ever especially for gym staff that is usually pissed when they're even working at other places. This spot has plenty of equipment, only slightly busy/packed during peak hours of course as every other gym is, but honestly most days are fine even during those hours. Usually very clean (gym and bathrooms) but the steam room could do better! You can see the sludge in there and honestly just quick hose down every day with the right cleaning solution would do it, it has a drain so it's not too hard haha. Sometimes the pool smells horrendous haha like wayyy too many chemicals, maybe use local biz Mr Pool - they're amazing for pools indoor and out, as well as the hot tub. The music kinda sucks they play but it's generic gym music so you can't really complain. I love it here, they have a good sized area for everything you need. Maybe one more chest/back pectoral fly machine would be perfect!! That's the only one that's always taken. Cheap prices as well. Good trainers. I don't get how people give it bad reviews.

    I have never written a review before, but this was by far the worst customer service experience I…read morehave ever had. It would be negative stars if possible. As someone in a management role myself, I have never encountered a manager as unprofessional, rude, condescending, and abrasive as Cherek. My friend and I came in at 8:00 PM to use the advertised 5-day free pass because we were genuinely interested in trying the gym. We filled out unnecessary paperwork about our personal workout goals and schedule (we weren't looking for personal training so this didn't need to be shared), took a tour with a very friendly employee, and then politely explained that we were not interested in purchasing a membership that night because we wanted to actually use the facility first. The kind employee warned us if we decline membership he HAD to bring Manager Cherek back over. What a joy that was. She immediately started trying to resell us on the pricing. I politely told her that changing the numbers wasn't going to change my answer--I wanted to try the gym before committing to a membership. Her response? She looked at us and said we "seemed tight on money." I was honestly shocked. What kind of manager thinks it's appropriate to make personal financial assumptions about complete strangers? That comment alone should disqualify someone from being in a customer-facing management position. Despite me declining multiple times, she continued pushing the pricing. After saying "no" for the third time, I finally explained that I'm already a CorePower member paying around $140 per month and was simply looking for a gym that offered different workout options and was considering a more affordable option. Saving roughly $150 over an entire YEAR wasn't going to convince me to buy a membership for a gym I hadn't even been allowed to try. I shouldn't have to share that information but was forced to so she would stop offering savings that I do not care about without getting to workout first. Then the conversation somehow became an INTERROGATION She repeatedly questioned why we were there, asked about our workout goals, how frequently we plan to come to the gym and when my friend said I don't know I just wanted to work out, she responded with, "Then why are you here if you don't have goals?" Because...we came to WORK OUT. That's literally the purpose of a gym. The irony was that after all this talking, we still hadn't been allowed to step onto the gym floor. Then came the best part. She told us we could only use the free pass if we scheduled another appointment with her so she could discuss membership again. We asked, "So you're saying we can't use the advertised 5-day free pass unless we schedule another sales meeting?" She confirmed that was correct and said we HAVE to set up a date time in order to use the facility tonight. So after spending ** 27 minutes--from 8:00 to 8:27 PM** --being pressured, interrogated, judged, and repeatedly told why we should buy a membership, we were sent away without ever being allowed to use the gym. This wasn't a free pass. It was a sales trap. If your "free trial" requires customers to commit to another appointment before they're even allowed to work out, then advertise it honestly. Don't market it as a chance to try the facility when it's really just a high-pressure sales pitch that was unprofessional and abrasive. I've visited plenty of gyms that are confident enough in their product to let people experience the facility before asking them to commit. This gym clearly isn't one of them. Save yourself the time and go somewhere that actually lets you use the free pass they advertise--and where management knows how to treat potential customers with basic respect.

They just ran a "win back" promotion offering the 1st month for free if you sign up for a 6 month membership and called me to offer it to me as a former member.

I'm totally flabbergasted how this business just treated me after years of being a loyal member of their sister site in Lafayette. They just ran a "win back" promotion offering the 1st month for free if you sign up for a 6 month membership and called me to offer it to me as a former member. I told them it was likely I would be moving out of the country the following month so it wasn't a good fit for me. They offered to have me sign up anyways and fill out a cancellation form at the time of signing up and assured me both verbally and in email that I would not be charged the membership fee the following month. There was a slight chance I may not move out of the country because I was still waiting for my passport to arrive. I actually only even had time to make it to 2 classes that month because I was busy preparing for my international move. The only reason I signed up was because it was FREE and I was told in multiple ways I wouldn't be charged. Well fast forward a month now that I'm abroad and I see a charge from them for $169. I emailed them with my 30 day cancellation form and asked for a refund. They denied the request saying I signed up for a promotion I did not sign up for (2 months for the price of one). nowhere does it say this on the legal document I signed. Now they are saying there is an OTF in the country I'm residing in but it is an hour away and I have no car and I'm enrolled in a program here that makes it impossible for me to get to their gym. I'm filing a complaint with the better business bureau and notifying my bank of a fraudulent charge since I followed their policy and canceled my membership but they still charged me after I gave my written 30 day notice. Super bummed because I really liked working out at this place and was looking forward to becoming a member again once I move back to USA after this program abroad.
