    Well organized graduation event. Special shout out to the Emory staff working traffic direction…read more Great job!

    First time on Emory University Campus and of course it's for a swim meet. The pool was not on Yelp…read moreand I added. The pool is off the main drag through campus and has signage. Parking is by one of two garages if they open to visitors. Otherwise it's on surface a block away, not bad. For my event the garage was utilized and very convenient. Emory hosted the 2022 UAA Swim Conferences in February. Seven other schools were involved. Without hesitation Emory offers the best pool in the UAA. My son who swims for Washington University in Saint Louis was on the conference team. It was the first major event back since COVID struck. The spectator area is spacious and they never had an issue with ticketing which was more limited with mitigation. Mark were required. The negative was no back on the seats. The pool is a 50 meter with retractable bulkhead to run short course yard in college. They also offer diving with its own well. The deck is spacious. The building is probably 15 years old but kept up beautifully. It's connected to the recreation center. Washington University aka Washu came in third to Emory & Chicago. The Men and specifically Women's Emory squad is extremely strong year after year and has won multiple National Championships. The highlight of the meet was the Washu Men's 800 Free Relay winning their event setting a new school and conference record. It would be the only individual or relay the men would win the entire four day meet. My son Ryan swam the third leg. During my sons four years I Susie T to return two more years as the host rotates with University of Chicago. A facility to be proud of for Emory University.

    It's been 1 year since I started visiting this LA location…read more They have a good variety of machines (cardio, strength, weights); it's a little limited in terms of spaces; the "personal training" area is very small and it's missing equipment; there's 2 classrooms (one for spinning and the other for all the other classes like yoga, etc). This location has a pool, hot tub and sauna. My interactions with the staff have been very friendly and useful. Often they have machines that need to be maintained/repaired. In general they keep it clean too. It's packed around 5pm-8pm. But pretty enjoyable weekend mornings (8am-10am).

    As a paying member, I brought my friend into this LA Fitness because she was interested in signing…read moreup. We are nursing students looking for a gym close to school where we can decompress after long classes and clinicals, and this experience completely turned us off. The employee assisting us looked like Cousin Skeeter and immediately had a nasty attitude from the start. During the interaction, he randomly brought up the fact that he owed Planet Fitness $600, which honestly explained a lot about the bitter energy he came into work with. He appeared ungroomed, disgruntled, and angry, and it was very obvious that whatever frustration he had going on personally had absolutely nothing to do with me. I politely explained that I was already familiar with the gym and that we did not need a full tour -- we simply wanted to see the membership rates so my friend could sign up. Instead of listening, he repeatedly insisted that we "had to finish the tour," which made absolutely no sense considering we were literally there ready to spend money. When I tried to explain again that we just wanted pricing information, he responded with, "Do you want the pass or not?" in an extremely rude and aggressive tone. That is not how you speak to paying members or potential customers. What made the situation even worse was the lack of professionalism afterward. When I asked for the employee's name, another staff member at the front refused to provide it and appeared to give me a fake name of Herbert instead. The entire interaction felt hostile, dismissive, and unprofessional. People come to the gym to relieve stress, not to be talked to with attitude and forced through a sales pitch they already said they didn't want. If someone is ready to sign up and spend money, maybe focus on customer service instead of acting irritated that customers are asking simple questions. I was honestly going to reach out to corporate, but I genuinely do not even have the mental capacity to keep dealing with someone who is clearly miserable and determined to spread that energy onto complete strangers. Nobody with a happy life walks into work treating people like that for no reason. Completely unacceptable experience.

    This was my first time visiting this Lifetime. One of my friends got me in for free via a guest…read morepass. We mainly came just for the pool, so I didn't get the full chance to utilize everything the gym had to offer. The locker rooms and the pool were really nice though. When we arrived to the pool, we grabbed some drinks at the pool bar and noticed there was a DJ playing. There were many lounge chairs scattered throughout the pool area, but it wasn't too busy, so we were able to find a good spot to sit. We were both with our wives, so there were 4 of us. We had some snacks and drank by the pool. While I did love my visit here, I would never sign up to be a member, as monthly memberships are $200+ which in my opinion is quite steep. We Ubered here, so I am not too familiar with where parking is for members. I would come back here, but only if I was able to visit for free.

    I never imagined I would be writing something like this about a place that claims to prioritize…read moresafety and privacy. While using the women's locker room/rejuvenation area at Life Time Fitness Buckhead, I was completely naked when a male contractor entered the space. I was fully exposed. There was no warning given to me that allowed time to dress, cover myself, or leave the area. No announcement reached me. No safeguard protected me. Whatever policies Life Time claims to have, they failed in real time -- because the result was my total exposure. What happened next was just as disturbing. Instead of taking accountability, management focused on defending "procedure." I was essentially told that everything was done properly -- despite the fact that I was left naked in front of a man. That alone tells me this situation was not taken seriously. Then, the next day, someone attempted to break into my home and sexually assault me. I am stating this plainly because context matters. At this point, it is unknown whether there is any connection between these events. That uncertainty is exactly why this should have been handled with urgency, care, and seriousness. Instead, my concerns were minimized, and I was left feeling unsafe -- not only as a member, but as a woman. I should not have had to escalate this. I should not have had to involve corporate or law enforcement just to be heard. A gym locker room is supposed to be one of the most protected private spaces. Life Time Buckhead failed to protect mine, and then failed again by dismissing the impact. Privacy is not a "process." Safety is not a script. Dignity is not negotiable. Based on my experience, Life Time Buckhead did not uphold any of these. Mike the GM is a sorry somebody.
