Overall, I really enjoy Life Time and think it's one of the better gyms around. The facilities are…read moregenerally clean, the equipment is high quality, and there are plenty of amenities that make the membership worthwhile. My biggest disappointment is that they removed the basketball courts. Basketball was a major part of the gym experience for me, and considering the price of a Life Time membership, I think removing the courts took away an important amenity. I'd really like to see basketball brought back in the future. I also think the steam room and sauna need to be expanded. They can get very crowded, especially during busy hours, and simply aren't large enough for the number of members using them. Larger steam and sauna areas would make a huge difference. Still a very good gym overall, which is why I'm giving it four stars. With basketball courts and larger steam/sauna facilities, it would easily be a five-star experience for me.

I have no idea where these negative reviews are coming from. Life Time in Laguna Niguel is an…read moreoutstanding gym and health club overall. The equipment is clean, well maintained, and there is a strong variety without the constant frustration of not having enough of what you need. The classes are excellent, easily as good as you will find anywhere, and the overall culture on the gym floor is a real plus. People are there to work out, not just socialize. The locker rooms are also a standout, consistently clean and clearly maintained throughout the day, and the front desk team is always friendly, professional, and welcoming while still feeling genuine (even though they are coached im sure). What really sets this location apart is how well it works for families. The kids club is far better than basic childcare, with a wide range of activities like sports skills, art, Spanish, and wall climbing. The pool area is also great for the whole family, with attentive lifeguards, fun family spaces, a separate adults-only area to relax, and good food and drinks available during the summer. It feels like a place where both parents and kids can genuinely enjoy spending time. A few things keep it from being perfect. It would be reasonable to include Parents Night Out in the already high monthly family membership rather than charging extra per child, especially since other Life Time locations do. It is also disappointing that the exceptional basketball courts are gone. Pickleball is clearly in demand, but keeping at least part of the space for a half-court basketball setup would have been a better balance. The old basketball league was a great part of the club, and it is hard not to miss it. We used to belong to the ClubSport Rennissance and it had a lot to offer too - but LT works better for us due to the better pool and kids club, nicer equipment, and more premium feel.

I acknowledge that I should have not reviewed the contract more carefully before signing it, and I accept responsibility for that. However, I still find this cancellation policy and the way my request has been handled to be unreasonable and unfair, particularly when I clearly communicated that I wanted to terminate my membership. Based on my experience, I strongly encourage prospective members to carefully review all cancellation terms before signing any agreement and to consider other gyms with more straightforward and customer-friendly cancellation policies.

LOCKER "SECURITY " NEARLY COST ME MY IDENTITY…read more I've been a member here for a while, but after what happened this week, I can't in good conscience recommend this gym to anyone. I came back from my workout to find my locker lock had been cut off. Turns out staff claimed another member's keys were locked inside my locker and cut the lock to retrieve them -- without ever attempting to identify or contact me first, even though I was actively in the gym working out at the time. A quick page over the intercom or any attempt to find locker owner would have been the responsible move Here's the worse part: my backpack was in that locker, and my credit card was stolen out of it. While I was still on the gym floor, someone made purchases with my card. This wasn't a random opportunistic theft -- it happened specifically because staff cut my lock open and left my belongings exposed. I immediately reported it to the manager on duty, expecting some urgency given that this smells like an inside job. Instead, I got a shrug and zero follow-up. No incident report offered, no review of who had access, no acknowledgment that their own process (cutting a lock without verifying ownership) is what created the opportunity for this theft in the first place. If you're a member here, do not leave valuables in the lockers -- the locks can and will be cut without warning or verification, and management does not take resulting theft seriously. I've contacted my bank to dispute the charges and will be filing a police report. Looking into other gyms in the area at this point.

Writing this review is long overdue, but I cannot recommend Kids World at Renaissance ClubSport…read moreenough! It has truly become our second family. The fact that the staff knows every single child and parent by name is amazing and creates such a welcoming environment. My son did the Leaping Learners program last year and thrived. He learned his colors, how to count, how to color, and how to write his letters. Beyond academics, he made close, wonderful friends in the class. The teachers are absolutely amazing, patient, and caring. The seasonal camps have been an absolute blessing. They offer unique, hands-on experiences that my son still talks about. He was able to pet farm animals, touch a snake, and learn all about music and outer space. He even learned how to swim over the summer thanks to their amazing coaches! If you have a toddler and are looking for a way to relax, workout, or just enjoy some self-care time, this is the place to be. The family membership includes up to 3 hours of childcare per day! This amenity is truly how I keep my sanity as a parent. I would recommend Kids World to anyone. It is worth every single penny!

ClubSport is not at all worth the $200+ monthly membership, but it was fun to work out here for a…read moreday. Unfortunately, I thought the top floor was mostly cardio + the few machines that could be seen from the stairwell, and not the proper weight room that it is, so I spent most of my workout downstairs doing dumbbell work... whoops. Firstly, the squat rack downstairs in the turf area feels like dungeon equipment. I did squat here and it was terrible. There are better squat racks upstairs, so don't make the same mistake as I did! Some of the machines upstairs felt similarly a little outdated. The seated leg curl and extensions were the janky older style and many of the pads/seats were peeling. I didn't find too many unique or novel machines other than the kneeling leg curl machine which was super fun to use. I couldn't find a shrug machine but everything else was accounted for. The people who work out here are... interesting? They act like White Lotus style caricatures of people. They hoot and holler at each other from across the floor, strip their shirts off and marvel at each others' abs, heckle their cardio bunny wives for not lifting with them, and otherwise just act like drunk partygoers. It is exacerbated by the fact that they do not play any music here, so for an hour I just had to listen to a group of middle aged men talk about how regular exercise translates to more stamina in the bedroom.......

It is a small gym and the equipment is older (especially the weights and the weight machines) yet besides basic leg machines you can find here everything you need. Since it is a small space it can get crowded very fast especially when teenagers decide to hang out (not work out). From time to time you will have a macho guy with an attitude show up but overall it is a friendly place. The lap pool is nice if you can visit during fall and winter. Once the kids are out- just forget it. I cannot even imagine what the summer will be like. With that goes the bathrooms- water everywhere. I hope they will have the maintenance people visit more often during the busy times. The hot tub is nice as long as you don't have kids making out in there- again- the school months are the most enjoyable. The tennis courts are nice but tend to fill up fast so unless you sign up you are out of luck. I have yet to try the racquetball but am planning on it. As for the staff some are real friendly and nice some grumpy and bitter. All depends who is on the shift. Overall not a bad place to keep in shape.

Everyone has a different story, comes from different sectors in the workforce, and a lot of different personalities. All that being said, when you walk thru the door it seems as though you are transported to all having the common goal of finding a safe place to equally work on our own personal goals while cheering on and helping each other. It's always lighthearted and fun, and whatever area you want to grow in in life there's someone there to help you. Rachel has done an excellent job of making the gym relaxed enough that you don't feel judge and intense enough to kick your butt to hit your goals. She also makes sure you feel like family, always checking in with your gym goals and personal goals. Ensuring you that she's there to help you grow and be supported. The gym is full of all different personalities, gym faces, and gym goals but we're all a family. A lot of gyms are intimidating or you feel judged, and at explicit Rachel makes sure everyone is welcome. You just have to come and meet the crew there's always get togethers, be it holiday parties, birthdays, pickleball meet ups, hiking, or out right spartan races... the whole group comes to what they have time for and no one JUDGES. You want a trainer that pushes you to your goals, listens to you with intention, and makes you feel like you can be yourself... come see Rachel. The nicest kickass trainer you are ever gonna meet!!! Want a gym where you can have resting bitch face cuz it's early, or stare off like deer caught in headlights cuz the workout is kicking your ass... and NO ONE JUDGES you... come to Explicit fitness Laguna Niguel!!!

And there's hot yoga. They offered a week for you to try the gym and the amenities, which was very generous. It's super close to my house so I was really hoping I would absolutely love everything about this gym since I already do Pilates and hot yoga elsewhere, but was really looking to add in weightlifting to my routine. I took a Pilates class with Mia... She was excellent! Very similar to what I am used to... Great instruction, but also perfectly challenging. I would go back and take her class in a heartbeat. I may even pay for add-ins to take her classes if the timing works out for me. The hot yoga class that I took was definitely hot, which I love! It was an extremely different style, that I am totally not used to so it was nice to experience it complementary... But I don't know that I go back. The instructor was fabulous and you can tell. She knew what she was doing and had a great following... I just don't know if that style is for me. Now for the gym - it's very, very VERY outdated - and pretty small. Most of the equipment seems like it's 20 years old or more. They keep the gym very clean- it was just small, kinda dark, and outdated. Front desk, staff and everyone I spoke to was extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. I would rate the gym portion of three and the rest of the amenities. I've experienced a five... That is the reason for my four-star rating. If the gym was nicer, I probably would've signed up for the top-tier membership, since that's the reason I wanted to check it out in the first place.

Evana, the Fit Body Boot Camp instructor, was beyond rude and unprofessional. In my experience, she spoke about clients in a disrespectful, dismissive way that made the environment feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. The tone and attitude were shocking for someone who works in a role that's supposed to motivate, support, and encourage people. Instead of feeling inspired or supported, I felt judged and talked down about--exactly the opposite of what a gym should feel like. This is not someone who made me feel safe or comfortable enough to ever want to return. In my opinion, someone who openly talks about clients this way should not be working at this type of business at all. A fitness space should be inclusive and respectful, and this experience was neither. I will not be coming back, and I would seriously caution others who value respect and professionalism to not staff a workplace with staffing like this.
