Life Time Athletic

Amazing! Worth the $$ for what you get. The yoga is incredible! The instructors really know what they are doing and help you adjust if needed. The place is consistently in impeccable conditions. Plenty of everything to go around. My only slight complain would be the personal training sales pitch during your «move it» session. I get they need to do it but it’s annoying. Other than that we have loved our experience there and highly recommend it.

this gym has everything! I went for a swim in the amazing huge pool, then a run on some of the new state of the art technology treadmills, worked out in the awesome fitness area, sat in the sauna and steam room, then got ready for a great day due to all the energy I gained from my morning here!
like stated this gym has indoor/​outdoor pool, weights, a lot of them, huge area for any kind of training you want to do, treadmills (various types) and lots of other cardio equipment. they offer classes (Zumba, yoga, ect,) a big list of classes and available all throughout the day, and there is an awesome app that gives the schedule along with tons of other features to keep up on your stuff on this gym.
The parking lot can be packed and you would never know once your inside because this place is so big and has so much going on!
Basketball courts are amazing, in a league (UHOOPS) and I love it, not the best out there by far but everyone is cool and helps out with teaching me new stuff! Couldn’t say anything but the best about the guys on my team!
Also when it seems packed from looking at the parking lot, you are never waiting for a machine or set of weights! There is just so many and such a great variety
STAFF: OUTSTANDING, FRIENDLY, VERY HELPFUL, THE BEST!!! I have not met one staff member from locker room person to trainer that is not in a good mood and smiling, truly makes it an enjoyable time being here. Shawn (personal trainer) is awesome! He has helped me drop inches off my pants in just over a week with his advice, too bad they don’t sell pants here! He would make that profitable for them!
If your bear this area or 40min away like I am it’s totally worth every penny!!!

I WISH I COULD AFFORD TO GO HERE!!! It’s beyond clean and the amenities are awesome. I went here on a Monday night and did Barbell Strength with 4 of my girlfriends. I was hurting for 4 days and it was worth it! I will definitely revisit this gym membership once I have more money.
Pros:
State of the art everything. 2 group exercise rooms. 1 room with 60 spin bikes. separate yoga/​Pilates room. indoor/​outdoor pool. sauna. a ton of space. locker rooms with fresh towels and toiletries. babysitting area. full basketball court. café/​smoothie bar.
Cons:
It’s $ 110 a month, a ridiculous annual fee, and it costs extra for yoga/​Pilates and personal training. There aren’t that many locations and currently i live 30 mins from here.

Amazing thats all I can say about this gym. In fact I can’t even call this place a gym rather it should be called heaven. The one thing that turned me off but ended up being well worth it was the price. It is a bit costly but after you see what you get you understand and accept that fact. With all the pools hot tubs saunas and amenities you get it is worth it. [Hats not even mentioning the top of the line equipment numerous classes and more stuff then you can do in one day. I have to also give a shootout to deep Singh. Who was the one who gave me the tour and got me signed up. Awesome dude respectful and was not pushy at all left the choice up to me to join which I gladly took. I recommend everyone try this place out because it is literally just that awesome. I am coming twice a day now just to use the hot tub after a hard day at work and working out. Some come by and give it a try!

This gym is amazing I was a member of The sporting club at the bellvue in center city Philadelphia which is a comparable gym but I like the level of service I receive at Lifetime. Being that I travel often being a member here gives me access to other Onyx gyms around the county .The indoor & outdoor pools are great in addition to the huge hot tubs. Unlike most gyms this place is never overcrowded and if it was there is plenty of space to go around. I highly recommend becoming a member I enjoy it so much that I pay a $ 5 toll per day just to come from Philly to Jersey to workout

I have been a member at Life Time for about 9 weeks now. I usually go 4 – 5 times per week and so far, I have been very impressed.
The Pros–
–The place itself is beautiful. It is almost too nice to be a gym. All of the equipment is brand new and there is a lot of it. There are 2 types of treadmills and they are all the latest and greatest with blue tooth head phone capability, HR monitor capability, built in workouts, and several viewing options.
–The spinning bikes are the best I have been on. They are Stages and are super smooth, quiet and easy to adjust. The display light stays on and the instructors use cadence (RPM) and watts during the classes. The spinning room has 60 plus bikes and is open and well ventilated.
— LT offers a lot of classes for general fitness, strength conditioning, spinning, Zumba, yoga, etc. I have done many types of the classes now in the evening and most have been very, very good. There are also a lot of options for the after work time slots. My last gym, most of the better classes were at 5:30 AM and that just isn’t happening for me. These classes are included in the LT membership. There are some other classes that have a fee. These are pricey. (see cons)
–The locker rooms are resort like. LT supplies you with towels and there is shampoo, conditioner, body wash, disposable razors, shaving cream, mouthwash, q-​tips, etc. The shower and changing rooms are spotless. The lockers use your membership card to lock.
–There is a large dry sauna and a eucalyptus steam room.
–The pool areas are incredible. There are 2 large indoor pools and a fountain area and two (2) huge hot tub areas. The outside pools truly look like a resort. It will be interesting to see how crowded they get in the summer.
— All of the staff is extremely friendly.
— There is a lot of parking and the lot is well lit.
— Bi-​monthly special events like Spin, Sake & Sushi or Pilate Rave that coincide with the free group-​fitness programs. They make for great ice-​breakers among members. Tip — Sign up fore these early as the available spaces fill up quickly.
The Cons–
— All of the above comes at a cost; I am paying about twice as much as I was at my old gym.
— LT has a great program for children and their Kids Academy. They often close off ½ of the basketball court for these programs in the early evening. I don’t use the basketball courts that much this is not a problem for me. But I can see it being one for some.
— Some free classes can be packed and full on the weekends. Arrive at least 15 – 20 minutes early to get a spot. Even with 60 plus bikes, Sunday spinning can fill up. Same with some other classes.
–The weight area is not as big as I expected compared to the other areas of the facility.
–There is a one time initiation fee in addition to your monthly fee. This can be between $ 100-​$ 150. Mine was $ 100 as I joined with my wife.
–The café is nice and great to have but there is also a price for the convenience.
–There is an extra cost for a handful of fee-​based semi-​private fitness classes that run $ 180/​quarter. That’s pretty steep IMO but I do not know the entire program. If they are providing nutrition and other active guides to assist with people just too undisciplined, it may be worth it to some.
Other Observations–
I really don’t know what the one reviewer was trying to write about the contract. After the initiation fee, memberships are month to month without a contract or cancellation fee. You can also use the initiation fee towards LT bucks. This is basically a credit towards the spa, hair styling, massage, personal training, LT clothing, group classes that have a fee and testing such as metabolic, etc. Unfortunately LT bucks can’t be used at the café.
They also have group runs and will LT will have outdoor group cycling in the spring.
There was not a high pressure sales pitch. The facility sells is self itself.

The facility itself is beautiful but the customer service is really really poor. They give you these things called lifetime bucks when you sign up or refer members and they’ve been nothing but a frustrating pain in the behind. I can’t get anyone to call me back despite trying for over 2 weeks. I’ve been given conflicting information by staff members numerous times. The GM told me through email I’d be getting 50 more bucks for an issue I had with my bucks before and they’re still not in my account. It is recommendation to their corporate headquarters that they do away with the whole program as its nothing but a major inconvenience. The positives of the gym are: beautiful facility with brand new equipment, exciting and fun group classes, clean well stocked lockers rooms, unique cardio equipment, family oriented. The negatives: poor customer service, misinformed staff, small weight area compared to size of facility, pushy trainers on the floor, lots of kids running around on the gym floor, and no automatic sinks or toilets in rest room.

This place is PHENOMENAL! It is worth every penny if not more, especially if you have kids.
I cannot say enough about the Kids Academy, they have:
Arts and Crafts Studio, Gymnastics Studio (with a real padded gymnastics floor) complete with little rings, high bar, and full length trampoline with other stuff, Language Immersion/​Music Studio, Dance (with ballet bars and real dance floor) for yoga, karate, zumba and fit classes for the little ones, a humungo play area for bigger kids, toddlers and an infant room. They have 9 Ipads for kids to use with educational games, no internet access or camera access.
You get 3 HOURS of childcare a day! (Included in your little one’s membership price). NO YOU CANNOT LEAVE THE GYM!
They also have a parents night out twice a month for $ 20 per child for four hours ($ 5 per hour super cheap) you CAN leave the gym during this saturday night from 5 – 9 and they take your kiddos swimming, provide dinner and what not.
Its a heaven for children and provides a stress free solitude environment for the parents. They come with whiteboards when your needed, and do not call your name over a loud speaker or call out for you.
I have tried out Zumba, and Yoga, both fantastic…
The yoga studio has a great atmosphere with great sound, and lighting the instructor can adjust. The temperature is also adjustable. I had a class with Alex today and he was fantastic for a beginner level yoga (he seems to be an advanced master in my eyes). The temp of the room was 80 – 85 Degrees and can go higher depending on the class. What I LOVE is that you take your shoes off outside the studio, that way if your late you are definitely not making tons of sounds with that sort of stuff.
The treadmills are great, try the beasty ones they have lots of options. I tried the not so beafy ones and I could choose to look at running through the streets of San Francisco, a trail or watch a football game. They are also bluetooth enabled to sync with your phone and you can also log in to track all your fitness needs.
The pool area is 90 degrees at all times, and the hot tubs are wonderful! The locker rooms for woman are beautiful and set up well, with a dry and wet sauna inside. The outdoor pool is beautiful!
I myself with my kiddo spent 5.5 hours here on the opening Saturday and four hours on Sunday. It is a weekend retreat.
My child is in a wheelchair, and they have gone above and beyond to care for her already. They are great with her, so don’t think just because your kid is special needs that he/​she is excluded. I have never been anywhere that is so adjustable.
Lets talk price… YOU may think its expensive, but did you just read all the stuff I just listed? How can you think $ 100 on down is expensive for what you get? Sure you can go pay $ 30 a month at your local gym, but you get crappy equipment, a very unknowledgeable staff full of kids, unclean restrooms and your lucky if your gym has a shower at this price. LT also provides towels. Just go inside you won’t want to come out of this PALACE!

If i could give it a half star i would. After all the sales pitches which i fell for i am now finding what is not included in my pricing. ALMOST EVERYTHING. .this place is nothing but sales… can not wait until i get out of my contract…“trainers” talk down to you like you are a child and I’ve been going to gyms for 40 years. .wish i didn’t listen to my wife into joining this hell hole

We signed up for lifetime fitness in July and it is finally open. I knew it would be big and that I would be satisfied with my choice to join this fitness club but I was also impressed with the friendliness of the staff. The massage therapists and instructors were so wonderful. They knew how to modify exercises and use certain massage techniques that fit my physical disability. I’m so happy we decided to join lifetime fitness.
