The staff always makes you feel welcome and the community is unlike anything you'll find elsewhere. The gym itself is always clean and has the best equipment in the St. Louis area, trust me I've been to all of them Whether you are a bodybuilder, power lifter or just someone that wants to hit cardio a couple times a week this is the perfect place for you!

Okay, this is a really convenient gym. For those of us that live in the Soulard/Lafayette/Benton…read morePark area, this is the closest one you'll find without having to drive 10+ minutes, and if you're like me, if I don't have a spot around the corner I'm probably not going to go. This place is freaking HUGE and has SO MUCH EQUIPMENT. They have plenty of treadmills in multiple locations (you're nervous about being in the open? No problem they have some in a back room), but I'm more into weights - I love that they have every type of weight to choose from, plenty of racks, AND they have so many individual pieces of equipment. Sometimes free weights/racks make me nervous, so having individual machines is freaking awesome and the ease of use is so much better. They have multiple spaces, including a back room that is pretty secluded which is perfect for new people/for stretching. They also have balls, steps, small weights, etc back there. They truly are an all encompassing gym. My only complaint (some people don't care about this) - it is very overwhelming for women AND for those of us that aren't SUPER fit. I will not come in here without my fiancé because I'm too nervous haha! It's....a lot. There's a lot of really fit people and coming from a small planet fitness, this is a lot to take in. Overall, great location. The equipment seems to be kept up nicely, and there's something for everyone.

Having just competed on Sunday at Masters Legends powerlifting meet, I wanted to have a good reload…read moreworkout while traveling for work. I looked for who had a good Day Pass and featured Bench/DL platforms in the Social Media posts. (I have been to a lot of sub optimal gyms where I wouldn't feel comfortable hitting a respectable bench there.) Lift STL certainly met my needs. They had many racks & locations to bench press -- no waiting on the sole bench press. They had top notch Sorinex equipment throughout. A wide variety of barbells to meet any specific needs -- including one Strongman log, DBs up to 120#, about all the machines you could need, and lots of turf for conditioning drills. If you need it, they likely have it. Personnel were kind and welcoming & put up with my occasional #OldManNoise while lifting. Facility was clean, easy to get to, & lots of nearby parking.

However, after one morning at this gym - there was no way we were going anywhere else. My husband is one of the biggest cardinal fans & would not stop grinning. We got permissions to lift due to our genesis memberships elsewhere. There were so many dumbbells & squat racks. The machines were like none I have ever tried. The staff was incredibly kind, the environment clean & tons of natural lighting & mirrors. We 100% will be visiting, however, bringing more friends next time to enjoy as much as we did. 11/10 would recommend your next lift here. The motivation will be sky rocketing.

It makes you feel like you're still involved in the game day action while working out. It's so nice that they have restaurants downstairs so you can stop by for a bite to eat after a good leg day. The machines are very modern and clean. The staff is friendly and accommodating. It does not get too crowded unlike club fitness. Parking is included in the membership. It's for 2 hours at a time otherwise you have to pay for parking. Overall, I highly recommend this gym!

I like that the therapists are super professional. I came here twice and both times they knew exactly what they were doing. They could tell which parts of my body needed work on. Their techniques were also very PT oriented. One time I came in with a cramped neck and I came out all better. It took me 2 weeks to get an appointment so I highly recommend you plan ahead. Price was also reasonable as well. Worth every penny.

For nearly $400 a month, I expected a premium fitness club--not an employee-led scavenger hunt…read more Sharon, a personal trainer at LifeTime Fitness in Frontenac, apparently believes that returning equipment to the place it belongs is just a fun suggestion. Members spend enough time working out without having to tour the entire gym looking for equipment that was left somewhere else. When I mentioned that the equipment should be put back where it came from, Sharon's professional response was to tell me to "mind your own business" and that "it doesn't matter" where the equipment is returned. Interesting philosophy. I wonder if LifeTime feels that way, too. You can almost understand when an occasional member leaves equipment lying around. But when it's an employee--someone who's literally being paid to teach good habits--it's a masterclass in hypocrisy. Maybe the next training package should include a session called "How to Return Equipment 101." It's a short class: pick it up, walk it back, and put it where you found it. For a club that markets itself as a luxury fitness experience, I'd expect trainers to set the example--not encourage members to lower their standards. Apparently, "mind your own business" is now considered customer service.

This is totally turning into my favorite Y!…read more As you guys know, I'm pretty committed to Les Mills Body Pump, which they offer at most of the YMCAs in the Greater Saint Louis area, but I love the big bright rooms with high ceilings at this location. If you've never tried body pump before but want to, Michael B is the best instructor when it come to new folks. Go to any of his classes and learn everything you need to in order to get strong and stay safe. This location also has super new machines as it recently opened last year, so everything feels super fresh. Also, I love that they have a gender neutral restroom/ locker room. I will say this location isn't super family oriented like I've noticed other locations are, but that seems more fitting for downtown as the crowd seems more transient and younger. I've also had generally great experiences with the folks who work at the front desk. Very inclusive, accommodating, and friendly. It's my spot! The only downside is parking downtown can be a drag.

The gym was great experience too due to music selection and gender specific steam rooms. Only downside is there is no gym to play basketball in or track to run on.

The facility is associated with the high school so there are always kids around, which kinda bothers me.

I am still debating, but the pool is amazing. So I caved and got a membership.

The playground has three levels to climb with various ways to get to each level and slides from the top levels. There's several types of monkey bars and climbing rocks, a balance beam, and a playground designed for smaller children. The butterfly seat was also a huge hit!

Anyone Fitness is one of the 24-hour accessible gym franchises and therefore is great for anyone…read morewith a non-traditional schedule and(or) after-hours access requirements. This particular location is only a few weeks old as of June 2016 and is exceptional! From the exterior the gym is highly visible and well lit. Although the strip mall parking lot tends to run at capacity during typical business hours, the end of the lot where the gym is located tends to always have several spots available, parking has yet to have been an issue. The interior is bright spacious and well appointed with a nice selection of Life Fitness cardio machines, Hammer Strength machines, free weights, squat rack, smith and cable machines and the usual appointment of benches, barbells and dumb bells. There is also a section with calisthenics and TRX suspension training exquipment as well as mat and ball training equipment. With all new equipment and a smaller physical footprint than the large warehouse type gyms, anytime fitness is perfect for anyone wanting a more personal, in and out type experience. Staff is friendly and helpful and always available to assist or for training advice during typical business hours. The two managers Emily and Pam are great assets to the facility and are in fantastic shape themselves. It's mentioned on the website that Pam started in fitness with a weight loss journey of her own, losing 150 lbs and has been featured on the Today Show's Joy Fit Club and in Fitness Magazine. Their membership plans are reasonable and right on par with comparable gyms. Currently they are running a no signup fee promotion as well as a free 7-day trial for anyone wanting to try out the facility that maybe interested in membership without making an initial commitment.

I understand that the showers are shared facilities and that people should be considerate of…read moreothers' time. I was in the shower area for approximately 40 minutes, which I acknowledge is longer than I should have been. However, I had to use the restroom first, and it took longer than I anticipated. Sometimes you simply don't know what another person may be dealing with, and I believe there should be some understanding in situations like that. At approximately 30 minutes, the employee knocked on the door and asked me to hurry. I did get out shortly afterward. When I came out, there was no one waiting to use the shower, so I was disappointed with the way the situation was handled. Edit after the owner/employee contacted me: After posting this review, I received a phone call from the employee. She called specifically to tell me how long I had been in the shower and informed me that she had blocked my access card from the facility. I had already acknowledged in my original review that I had been there longer than I should have been, so I'm not disputing that. What I do want to clarify is her response regarding the availability of other facilities. There is another women's shower and a unisex bathroom, so my understanding is that there were other restroom facilities available while I was using the shower. I attempted to explain my side of the situation during the phone call, but I was not given an opportunity to do so before the call was ended. I would have been completely willing to have a respectful and reasonable conversation about what happened. I can accept being told that I exceeded the expected shower time. What I found disappointing was the way the situation was handled afterward. There is a difference between enforcing a reasonable facility policy and how you choose to communicate with a customer. Because of this experience, I will not be returning to this location.

Reasons why I love the workout: 1. Treadmills / running are incorporated! I love to run but I hate when I have to chose either weights or running. I love Shred because it keeps both! 2. Minimal thought/ experience required. You don't have to wait for equipment or think about what your next set is going to consist of because they tell you what to do the entire time! Also, if you don't know how to do something- it doesn't matter- because your instructor shows you each move before they expect you to do it. Reason why I love this location specifically: The Instructors & Staff are just the best! I truly feel like I have made some great friends here and that all of the people in this location genuinely care about you. It's so nice that I can pick my classes to go with my favorite instructors or I can take one with someone that's not in my regular "schedule" and I still get the same amazing workout and attention. Overall, the gym is clean, safe, but most importantly fun! 100% would recommend to anyone of any experience level!
