Very disappointing to have to then walk all the way down those stairs. Also a large hot tub that is for only over 18 - don't even think of putting your toe in it if you're under the age limit as you will immediately be chastised. There also is a whirlpool which is fun but don't put your head under the water as you will immediately have a whistle blown at you. My advice is make sure to go with friends or make sure that you're going to play in the pool with your kids. There isn't enough attractions to hold interest for long. For the price of $6 each tho I think we did ok Bathrooms dressing rooms were adequate.

I like that they have a ski erg machine that's comparable to that used at the event. My favorite Y is the Weinberg location, and that one is different. They also have a rope, which is useful for training the shoulders/arms. It's just in an awkward place. When the roped is pulled out to full lenght for use I felt like I was in the way. I tried two different angles and both were the same. Oh well. Sorry, not sorry. It's a big Y! They've got several sections of weights, machines, cycling rooms and the..... I guess I'll call it, Crossfit room (which is small and a bit awkward, but it works). They have weighted bags for the lunges up to 40lbs. They also have plenty of (matching) kettlebells. AND, they have weighted balls for the ball toss. The only thing missing is the sled. You can go to the Weinberg Y for that. I like this Y as well. There's plenty of room, which is good because it's much more crowded (even mid-day) than my other Y's. I was also glad to see the staff cleaning the weight rack. I mean, not just wiping it down. They removed the weights, wiped down the rack where the weights were sitting, and place the weights back. They were also removing the scuffs from the wall with the magic eraser. No wonder it looks so clean. And of course I can always count on the fireplace to chill at after my workout. Come check it out.

On a BCPS delayed start day, the facility did not clearly communicate any adjusted Stay and Play hours. The posted signage did not reflect the delayed schedule, and while staff observed me arriving with my child, this information was not proactively shared. I only learned of the adjusted hours after specifically asking. Clear and visible communication--especially on delayed start days--would help prevent confusion for families and improve the overall member experience. I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope it can be considered for future operations.

I'm not a member at Life Time but I've been lucky enough to be a guest here a few times. I've…read morelifted here and most recently, took a vinyasa yoga class. The facility is massive -- it almost feels like a mall. There's a cafe, indoor pool, plenty of fitness areas, and spacious locker rooms. Everything felt very clean here which is a plus. The Sunday 10:45am vinyasa class was advertised as "medium heat" but it barely felt heated. The instructor wasn't my favorite and the flow felt clunky and disorganized. Her queueing wasn't very clear and if I were a newbie yogi, I'd be pretty confused. Most of the class was spent in child's pose or savasana and I would've preferred more time to flow and play. The studio itself is fairly small for the size of the rest of the gym. As a guest recently, I had to download the app in order to get my guest pass which was pretty annoying. I've never seen another gym do that and didn't appreciate the extra hoops to jump through. Overall, if this gym was closer and less expensive I'd consider it but for now, I appreciate the chance to be a guest here.

LIFETIME IS A STUDY IN GREED AND INCOMPETENCE. IT HAS…read moreTURNED INTO A LITERAL SHHIT-SHOW The pool has been closed most of the month now because someone forgot to maintain the filter. The water turned a disgusting blackish green. Now the heating element is broken. They expect the pool will be out of comission all month. Oh yes, and they just jacked up the minimum monthly rate by over $60, to $250, after another big iincrease in January. It looks like they are raising it by $100 every single year. Meanwhile, the CEO is a billionaire, just counting his money. Maybe if they didn't lay off over half the staff, including all the management, there would be someone to properly maintain the pool. But no, the CEO is working on becoming a MULTI-billionaire, so he doen't want to waste money on trivalties like a working pool with clean water. I certainly would not want Lifetime to be inconvenienced by keeping the pool up and running, if it would mean the CEO could not meet his Multi-Billionaire goal. It would break my heart if the CEO did not get another fast billion because they decided to keep the facilities running for the lowly members who don't deserve anything anyway. We should be happy to pay $250-$500/mo to make Bahram his 2nd billion.

You can come in and explore on your own, but they also have programs that work with summer camps and homeschool groups to have a more formal experience for kiddos. There are some animals to look at and appreciate, including a turtle (who loves playing with people who visit) and snake, and several birds in their outdoor aviary. They have free maps of the trails in the park, as well as some informational packets about various flora and fauna. También tienen folletos en español. The center room has a portrait of Carrie Murray, some couches, several taxidermized animals, and some books about nature. The bathroom is unisex, accommodating a urinal, 2 stalls, and a changing table. A great place to start your hike (or end, or just use as a break in the middle!) or just visit on your own!
