The stretching area upstairs is quite small, but when there are no classes, the downstairs room has plenty of space and equipment for floor work.

I was very excited to be at Lifetime. I was invited as a guest and walked in feeling motivated and…read morehappy to experience the gym. Unfortunately, that completely changed after taking a class with the instructor, Alexander Liviner. From the beginning, his attitude came across as arrogant and superior -- exactly the opposite of what I was hoping for. At one point, he made fun of me for being slow. It was completely unnecessary. If he was trying to be funny, it wasn't funny at all. It felt humiliating rather than motivating. I also got a little confused with the weights and accidentally grabbed the wrong one. Instead of guiding me or correcting me in a professional way, he made a facial expression that made me feel like I was stupid. A coach's role is to support and teach -- not to mock or belittle someone who is trying. It also felt like he clearly favored more advanced participants, giving them more attention while others were left feeling invisible. I left the class embarrassed, disappointed, and honestly regretting that I took it. It was a horrible experience. Lifetime should choose instructors who lead with encouragement and professionalism -- not arrogance or favoritism.

However, I do think there is room for improvement when it comes to overall cleanliness and attention to detail. Unfortunately, my experience in a class with an instructor named Alexander was very disappointing. It was my first time taking that class, and it was completely full. I did not feel properly guided or supported as a beginner. It was very clear that he showed preference toward certain pretty women in the class, giving them most of his attention. At times, it felt unprofessional, as if he was more focused on flirting and showing off than actually instructing. That kind of behavior should stay outside of a professional fitness class setting. Because I did not receive proper corrections, I ended up with knee pain after the session from doing repeated squats incorrectly. As a first-timer, I expected more supervision and professionalism. Overall, the gym itself has great potential, but this experience left a very bad impression. I would not recommend taking his class.

This was my first time there. If you haven't worked out in a while or are just getting into it,…read moreBEWARE! Today was leg day, my legs hate me and have decided to remain in a jelly state for the time being. With that said, the work out was amazing! The trainer was super friendly and not at all pretentious or judgmental. I have been to gyms before where it's obvious I'm not a fit person and I have felt that the trainers are annoyed by that. I don't remember his name, he told me a few times but I was focusing on trying to stand. He was just super nice. It was awesome. The man at the desk was super friendly too and easy going and not at all giving me any vibe of pressuring me to become a member. I am, I just need to go to more classes to see what membership I want. I bought a group on and used it towards a 10 class pack to figure it out. I have already recommended a friend and am really excited to go back. As soon as I can walk. I liked that it was dark in there so I did t feel so visible in my uncoordinated struggles. I was not at all self conscious. Also, the ratio of women to men was like 8:2 or something like that. So that was a super bonus. Not that I care if men are there, it's just less intimidating when there are a good number of women in a class. For me anyway. I highly recommend it. The only thing is there is no sign, so I drove by it once or twice but I figured it out.

Thanks guys!

Pretty much meathead on benches with talkative attitude and leans Guys/gals on squat for 30mins. I'm glad there are no deadlift or maybe I haven't seen one doing it. Seriously 250lbs dude bench 275lbs are not impressive or guys took 5mins on rest and bench some 245lbs with arch back bench press for 1-2reps was a joke. Or 140lbs dude bench 135lbs & took 5mins each rest. This was all happened at same time maybe faith bought them together. Skip this gym for your own gain. I gave two stars because of the easy sign up trial I'm glad it didn't cost me anything but make me missed out to bench with my friend for my 275lbs bench.

I don't even know where to begin with all my praise for Redemption! A year ago, after losing 90…read morelbs, I wanted to focus on my fitness and strength, as well as figure out why I always felt tight around my neck and back. I ended up enlisting in private 1-on-1 training with the owner, Chris. From the start Chris was able assess that my posture and mobility needed improving. He set me up with exercises and dynamic stretches to help me. As my form got better, we started incorporating more strength exercises. A year later, my posture is 100x better than it was, my neck pain has disappeared, and best part of all, being strong and fit has become part of my lifestyle. I've gone from being able to barely do 5 pushups to doing 15. I'm stronger, I'm leaner, I'm more flexible, and as of late, I feel like my body can accomplish more than it ever has. I give all the credit to Chris for his guidance and patience in teaching me how not only lift using proper form, but in how to work on the best exercises that increase my mobility and ability for years to come. This experience has been a life changer. In addition to the 1-on-1 one classes, I've occassionally attended Redemption's group classes which are incredibly challenging, thoughtfully planned, and really fun! I feel so fortunate to have some a valuable resource in my neighborhood.

Redemption is the BEST. All the instructors are great and every class is a killer (in a good way!)…read moreworkout. Chris, the owner, comes up with fresh and challenging programming every month. The small group format allows you to get individual attention from the instructor on almost every exercise. Megan has amazingly positive energy, Toni always comes in with a fire playlist, and Alicia is AMAZING. Love the community vibe here!
