Part of the benefits of these lessons are that there aren't any other lessons going on at the same time. There are no distractions, just absolute focus from the instructor who also finds time to give the parent a brief check in at the end of the lesson and lots of positive affirmations for the student. I only wish we had tried their lessons sooner! The office staff is also very professional to speak with and keep you up to speed with any changes. The ability to choose the location of the lessons is also helpful as it keeps me out of the higher traffic areas of route 1. I would recommend Making Waves to anyone.

A variety of classes are free with membership. It's not a spa experience- it's a gym. For those who complain about its condition- this was Princeton's community go-to before expensive, bespoke exercise companies like barre etc. arrived. Rich and aspirational Princetonians don't patronize it and the much-needed community support has dwindled as a result.

I have been a member here for about a year and a half now. I do have to say I absolutely love this…read morefacility and the equipment it has. It has a lot of space and is very clean. My reason for removing a star, hopefully temporarily, is due to the following: 1) the benches that are the "original benches" have started being replaced with the most horrific benches I've sat on. I'm talking hard as a rock, not as supportive, and they are just too high off the ground so individuals who aren't super tall are sitting improperly with feet not as firmly on the ground. You also cannot hip thrusts using the new benches due to the height without having to toss 45 lb plates under your feet which is a workout in itself for some of us to maneuver things around. I shouldn't have to do this. The original benches are the best benches I've ever seen in a gym and I really wish they would keep getting those benches. Every member I've spoken to talks about this and how we all fight for the original good benches and will literally leave the new ones vacant while we wait for the old benches. This causes more wait time in lifting which is the reason I left my old gym. 2) the barbells, smith machines, and any metal part that requires sliding a plate onto are not oiled and sanded down the proper amount. Sometimes getting a plate on is a struggle in itself. I am not alone in this either as I have talked about this with other members who have been going here nearly since they opened. It is frustrating to have to force a plate on and struggle with it. The plates should glide on with ease, but this requires proper maintenance of the metal rods where plates go on (sanding and oil). Please add this onto the maintenance schedule as we do pay maintenance fees and this should be included. 3) Lack of a proper ab bench. The one we have here, which one is not enough firstly, is ok but for those of us who need a deep decline this just doesn't cut it. The foot placement on this also works your quads so much it's hard to properly focus on your abdominal muscles. Many members get a better ab workout on the decline bench meant for chest. Adding a nice deep decline adjustable ab sit-up bench that is sturdy would TREMENDOUSLY transform this gym. I feel this one is a small ask. There are even some on Amazon that aren't too bad. These are my current main concerns and I am hopeful that sharing this can allow management and Kevin to understand a few things that can make this gym so much greater! I do love it here and I've had such great workouts. However, the above are issues I do not expect a gym of this size and quality to have. Again, many compliments are to be said of this wonderful facility, but I am hoping we can work on the above. Many members would be very thankful!

I cannot relax at the gym listening to this the entire time there. I thought this was a family gym; the music doesn't match. How about variety - oldies, gospel, quieter music, etc. Many people have their ears plugged up; I don't. It is so loud in the women's locker room. There are two TVs in the locker room that are never on. How about turning down the music or turning it off totally & turn on the TVs. If what's coming out of the speakers doesn't change, I will write more reviews & then eventually switch gyms. People may not speak up about the music & just cancel their membership. Please consider changing the music to satisfy all your members not just some.

I was very impressed by his response and am hopeful to see continued service levels across all area at Life Time. Unfortunately I echo many of the other reviews on this site - poor customer service and employee training-resulting in terrible customer experience. I recently went to the spa for a massage. Upon checkout the receptionist told me there was a note on my file for 20% off my service. She reached out to the spa manager who indicated since there was no name or date on the note that they should ignore it and did not honor the discount. When questioned they said that it was an employee error. Seems like the customers bear the brunt of all employee errors--I did send a note to the GM - Hayden Duffy. I look forward to a response.
