I joined Life Time Bridgewater as a premium member, paying nearly $300 per month. As a former…read moretennis player, I was excited to learn pickleball since it is the primary racquet sport offered at this location. Unfortunately, my experience with the pickleball program has been extremely disappointing. While the facility itself is beautiful, the culture on the pickleball courts is the opposite of what I expected from a premium club. The staff came across as gatekeepers rather than customer service professionals. Instead of making members feel welcome, I often felt as though they were deciding whether I was "allowed" to play. As a paying premium member, I should not feel like participation is a privilege granted by staff. The skill assessment process is another major concern. Members are required to pay for an assessment to access different levels of play, yet there is little transparency about how ratings are determined. In my experience, the results did not reflect actual on-court performance, and there was no meaningful explanation of the evaluation criteria. A player can compete successfully against intermediate-level players and still be placed in the beginner category without a clear explanation. A transparent, objective rating system would be much fairer. Reservations can also be canceled without meaningful notice or explanation, making it difficult for members to plan their schedules. After speaking with other members, I found that several expressed similar frustrations about the management of the pickleball program. People join Life Time because it is a premium club, and the membership fees reflect that. Members deserve professionalism, respect, transparency, and consistent customer service. The facilities are outstanding, but the management and customer experience of the Bridgewater pickleball program fell far short of the standards I expected.

The team helped me with some important stretching I could handle but my brain needed a nutrition & lifestyle reeducation to help me beat Diabetes and be prepared to strengthen my body. I was temporarily in a wheelchair and Karen ran over to bring me a container of protein powder shake mix. This helped contain my sugar reading swings but I needed more intervention with my diet. Karen & I surfed the web to find a program that meets my needs. In just a few days, my sugar readings are at a consistent in range that I haven't seen ever in 10 years as a diabetic. Now I'm 2 weeks into this shift in lifestyle. I'm walking a whole lot better, Anthony is building back my strength, we are discussing how to maintain this progress when I travel on business. Life is complicated. I knew I was not going to succeed by myself. Karen and Anthony really care about their clients and in a few short months I'm in a direction I thought I'd never see. My Endocrinolgist was happy surprised at my levels and thinks this direction will absolutely impact reducing my very high A1C. So, bottom line, LFTD Fitness is a great team. Very inclusive.

They also offer child supervision in a large play room which is good for those with kids - so no excuses for you stay at home mom's and couch potato dad's. The place is three floors. The locker rooms are on the second floor along with a spin class room. Half way up is another room. It's under utilized at the moment but I guess it could be used for stretching or other calisthenics. Then up on the third floor is the main gym. Has a good variety of free weights, machines, and cardio. There is a cardio movie room which is sweet , they Change the movie every day and the the movies do get recycled but it seems long enough before you get bored. Recently they played Grown Ups, fast and furious (the latest one), and the internship. The dumbbells go up to 115+ which is great and there are many flat and interchangeable benches. Some machines they are missing are the standing leg curl and hack squat. Seems to be commonly absent especially since a lot of people skip leg day. The general upkeep is good. I've rarely ever seen machine broken for longer than one day, but the supplies in the locker room like hand soap tends to always be empty. I'd say about 20% of the time there was actually soap in the dispenser (this is way I can't give it 5 stars. That and the three floors set up is a bit awkward).

Machines are constantly broken and they'll be broken for months at a time. Cardio section is weak as half the treadmills are no longer there. The 8ish that remain about another 3 ish are broken. Instead of throwing out broken yoga mats they'll chop off the peeled parts so you'll be working on half a yoga mat. This place is dirty. If you look at the machines, the mirrors, and just in general it's dirty and dusty. It's really clear whoever is funding the place lacks the care to maintain it decently. For pros- it's cheap. This is will def be the cheapest gym in the area (rightfully so do you see the cons I wrote + other reviews). The staff is always very kind they do their job well. The music is kind of good sometimes I like listening to that rather than my own music.
