After drama and disdain at my former gym, I needed a replacement. Fast. They are a little pushy with the trainers. I did take a smaller trainer led class to try it out, and I really really liked it. But the price point, after spending a lot/month already is a bit outrageous. The cafe is nice, but the drinks are pricey. $8 for a smoothie? Maybe not. The equipment seems clean, up to date and there is a lot of it. Classes on the second floor, equipment on the third. Showers are nice, water is a little all over the place with the temperature. But good pressure. I wanted a place with good showers and free coffee. Hey, it is the only thing that motivates me to go. Didn't quite get that, but overall I am pleased. Month to month too - I love that. Don't notice the lines at the showers or in the parking lot because I go at 5 am. read more

Worst gym ever. Well, let me correct that, if you are looking for a racist experience this by all means is your place. Encountered a man who approached me on a machine and proceeded to ask me where was I born and who did I vote for. Went to get the staff, and he had no shame in spewing the same nonsense to them. So what happens you ask...HQs gets involved and suspends me - you can't make this mess up. When I told them this is easy to solve go look at your surveillance cameras and you will CLEARLY SEE and HEAR what happened, their response, "oh our surveillance system doesn't have audio"...Needless to say, I cancelled my family's membership and will never go back there. If I could give a negative star I would. read more

Interesting location, the staff was friendly and different from the troy location, it has three floors, there is an interesting cafe when you first walk in , it has a cozy looking atmosphere, kind of dark inside, I didn't have a chance to try any of the cardio equipment, it was just a quick visit, one day I'll enquire if they still do guess passes, I miss 24 hours but this location has always been just until midnight and it was my first time Visiting this one. I like that the elevators are close to the reception desk and right in the middle for easy access. read more

I recently visited a Life Time in Coral Cables while on vacation had an incredible experience. As a result of the amazing experience at the Coral Gables location, I decided to make visiting Life Time a monthly occasion for me until I commit to a membership. I visited the Life Time location in Bloomfield, Michigan on Saturday, July 8th for a day of massages and relaxation. A friend purchased massages for us both to enjoy. As I waited on the friend, I inquired on the timing of the massages as I was under the impression massages were 30 mins. As an fyi, timing wasn't an issue and didnt mind that the friend's massage went over time. I only inquired on the timing as I planned to participate in another activity and didn't want to miss the masseuse (Cassie) if I ventured off to do another activity. Cassie was absolutely wonderful by the way. The receptionist at the front desk of the spa (I did not get her name however she has two tone hair that appears to be gray and purple) started to speak to me in slang when answering my question. She stated that my friend booked two sessions and "that's all she can tell me" and "that's all she knows" while throwing up hand gestures. As I tried to explain to her that there is 2 of us and both sessions are 1 of each, she just kept going back and forth with me while speaking in slang and odd hand gestures. I obviously took the way she spoke to me as her having a preconceived notion about me. The woman was aggressive and she refused to speak to me in proper English, yet I observed her behavior before and after the encounter and she miraculously became professional again towards other clients. I feel that her mannerisms towards me were hostile, insulting and felt she was mocking me as I am a woman of color. Cassie (masseuse) took me back after the encounter and I confided in her. She helped me relax and was the best part of this entire ordeal. Also, judging from other reviews on Google, mistreatment due to ethnicity seems to be the norm at this location. I will do everything I can to get the word out about this location and the receptionist I had the displeasure of interacting with. I only wished I would have recorded the incident. Her actions towards me were not only unprovoked, but aggressive, evil and hateful. My friend has been a LifeTime member for years and she introduced me to the gym and I am interested in becoming a member as a result. It saddens me that an employee can practice micro-aggressions on paying customers, member or not. Very disappointing and hurtful to say the least. I only hope the spa employee does not treat any unsuspecting guests the same way. To harbor hatred for a demographic and act on it with aggression is unacceptable especially when this employee represents Life Time as a brand. read more

Love this gym and it's aesthetic! I'm super motivated to come here and enjoy a good workout or do extra curriculars like swimming, going into the sauna/ steamroom, and Pilates! read more

So after further investigation with a sister property! Robert was wrong. I did not need to pay more and he's so wrong for telling someone they can't work out there after originally setting me up being an account manager and giving me no other option but to pay more. It's a good thing I don't settle for people who tell me no or think they know it all. Lifetime needs to train him on some customer service and know his position and how to handle things. Turns out I DO pay enough to work out at that location while I'm in town. read more

Life Time - Just weeks prior Robert signed me up at this location ...... now I can't work out there told I need to pay more - Gyms Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

See all

I think I'm done with all Lifetime gyms. Was a member at Troy since 2001. It was great initially, but got progressively dirtier and neglected. Moved to Bloomfield location expecting the high price of the place to correct this. It is cleaner, but for $150/month, it is still neglected as well. Steamer and sauna littered with dirty towels and empty water bottles, etc. Weekends are especially bad. The club also has a lot of nice members and staff. But it also has a lot of pushy members who use multiple machines in a circuit and expect you to wait for them to finish all of them before letting you use one. This probably wouldn't be a problem if they had more than 2 bench presses and only 1 Smith machine. I go to a gym to relax and de stress. This place is not that. I can't believe I paid so much for so little for so long!!! Ugh!! read more

Modern, clean gym with massage, amenities, juice bar, several pools, indoor and out. They even have a few rowers ( Concept 2 type) that I love and don't often find. Lots of treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, good weight room. No track though. I miss that. I fall off of treadmills . I was very impressed by locker rooms and aqua facilities with whirlpools and sauna's. They even have extractors to remove water from your suit before you leave. They also have Pilates and other workout programs. This is an elegant place and a joy to visit. Plenty of free parking too. read more

Very disappointed every time I've gone here. They are understaffed and the parking lot is small for a busy lifetime fitness club. They do a decent job of keeping the equipment up to date and clean and the facility is well kept as well but honestly they are lacking in customer service and waiting times for the equipment which makes training frustrating. I'd prefer to go to lesser gyms that have better staff and get my workout I need without all the extra's lifetime has to offer. They are way over priced for the services you receive. I didn't mind paying for the extras back when I started because they always took good care of me and my family but lots has appears fly changed. Waiting on showers, waiting on equipment, waiting for better staffing and customer service all lead me to a pass on going back and a cancelation of my membership. :( read more

Not worth it. Increasing membership dues in 2019 for absolutely no reason. The locker rooms are gross and dated.

This place is really awesome! Not for the faint of heart, it's not cheap but it's a really great experience. The cafeteria has an outstanding selection of healthy food and vitamins etc etc. Their play area for the kids is just incredible. Their spinning classroom is better than any other that I have seen before. They have events for the members that are interesting and best of all, every time I've been here it's not been too crowded so I have had to wait on a machine that I wanted to use. read more

Excellent work out place. I joined recently after having a knee operation and after my physical therapy was over, as I thought to continue the therapy there on my own for a few months. Now, I plan to keep my membership indefinetly. Place very spacious, a lot of machines and equipments, nice sauna hot room and hot tub. Beautiful pool and great cafe with excellent service. My only observation for improvement: I wish not most T.V. channels there focused on basketball. Hockey and golf are also very popular in this town and I wish they include the NHL channel and the Golf channel in their T.V. programming, and also to reduce the TVs dedicated to advertisments. read more

I've been working out here almost since it opened. The facility is soooo nice!!! Everyone who works here is also so welcoming and nice! I've enjoyed working out at Lifetime since I've joined. I've noticed that some of the class times aren't as convenient in the summer as i would have liked. Also, the price has gone up since I've joined. This was sad because I already pay a lot to be a member. I went to put my account on hold the other day, the lady said the only charge I would get is a $20 hold fee. I was then charged an extra $10 to switch my account to hold. This was never mentioned. I also did not realize there was a month notice to hold your account, so now I have an extra month to pay( even though I won't be using it). That annoyed me a lot. This lifetime is more expensive than competitors in the same area, especially with an Equinox gym getting built down the street. It will be interesting if I decide to stay or not. Overall, the gym is very clean and kept nice! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It's a good place to workout if you have the money to afford it. read more

This is the nicest gym in the area. Even a step up from the other lifetime gyms. However I'm paying $330 a month for two adults and two kids. It's not THAT nice. I will be dropping out and paying $10 a month at another place. I just can't justify the price anymore. read more

Feels much more like a resort than a gym. Love it. Everyone here is super helpful and motivated to help you meet your goals. Clean gym, great classes, amazing food. I highly recommend Andres' spin classes--He is so driven to unlock your potential. Andres works extremely hard to deliver an amazing class, every time. His upbeat attitude and encouraging teaching method is unparalleled. I have trained in many places, even out of the country, and I can tell you that Andres, hands down, is the best trainer I have ever had. read more

I love lifetime, and one of the features that stands out to me the most is the life cafe. I have been a member since this location first opened and unfortunately in recent years I've noticed a huge decline in the quality and variety of the life cafe offerings. They once offered veggie burgers, meal prepped salmon and beyond burgers, but now I see a drastically reduced and limited menu. This makes it difficult as someone who takes my training seriously and also has a pescatarian / vegetarian diet. I hope they will add back in the items they took out! read more

I am a member and everyday user at this club. It looks really nice...but its more about form over substance. The gym, locker room and pool...all look great because they are almost brand new. but in reality...not that great. The pool never seems clean. The gym has good equipment...but only one water fountain??? The locker room is dirty all the time. The trainers are mediocre at best. All in all...it's decent...but the monthly dues keep going up and the service keeps going down. If i had another convenient option for swimming laps...i'd drop out read more

I am very pleased with my membership at this club. I love how the steam room, whirlpool and sauna are all in the locker room. All are extremely clean ALL THE TIME!! Was looking to minimize my contact with large crowds and this club is perfect. I go in the early morning and have the steam room to myself. I am primarily a runner and mostly use the club for swimming and the steam/whirlpool. It's perfect for what I'm looking for. Also a benefit, there are primarily adults at this club. I've seen a few children but not like the other clubs with the large basketball courts and massive amounts of children. The month to month fee structure is another benefit. I go south for three months in the winter and can freeze my account ($10 fee) each month I'm out of town. read more

This place is very first class in every way the people That work here are the best wonderful people The facilities are amazing I love it here I highly recommend joining here The members are great very high end here read more

Can't speak for the actual working out part, but I did yoga, and laps in the pool, and sauna'd. Pretty good experience. Pretty fancy. Friendly staff. Enjoyed myself. read more

Stupidly expensive, double the cost of other (also fairly expensive) Life Time locations. Bloomfield Hills is a nice area, but the massive money you're paying for membership has nothing to do with the club being any better than any other gym, but certainly has a lot to do with classism and racism. $150 for a single person is definitely aimed at keeping the neighbors in Waterford and Pontiac away. Sorry, hard pass for this place. read more

The only reason I am giving 3 stars is because of the bathrooms in this location, they feel more like a club/spa than a gym. The events they organize are also very nice and the food provided in those events is yummy. Aside from that, i cannot give a positive review especially because of the classes, the group classes are MUCH better in rochester hills. Any class you join in rochester hills seems to be FUN! You really work up a sweat and it goes by quickly. In bloomfield, the classes feel boring and you dont really work out, sorry but it's the truth. For example, i've complained like 3 times about the cycle classes issue and so far, nothing relevant has been done. I even inquired about this in rochester hills and they mentioned that the teachers in rochester hills are some of the best in the nation; i can only say: IT SHOWS! but i just think it's unfair that i'm paying almost double than the members there and i'm not getting the same quality classes (same goes for dance jam classes). Honestly, the only reason i havent downgraded is because rochester is quite a drive for me and the bathrooms are not as nice, but i will definitely be checking the new Equinox gym when it opens in Dec because apparently they dont care enough about their member's feedback at lifetime athletic gym. read more

I stopped in today and the facility was very clean, staff super friendly and the location was ideal!

I've gone here a few times when I'm around since I go back and forth to Phoenix and this is honestly one of the best lifetimes in the nation. It's super clean, the staff are kind, and the machines are usually sanitized and available. You really do get what you pay for and its worth the extra $50 to be a diamond member. read more

The Disney World of gyms! This gym/health club makes me excited about working out Not cheap but worth it I love it! read more

As a Equinox Fitness member in NYC, ($180 for individual), this gym isn't as nice, in equinox you get kiehls products in the locker room, many trainers on the floor who help spot and arent acting like a salesperson, In addition: bathrobes, slippers, valet parking. However, This gym feels like a regular lifetime. Two years back, it was more quiet, but the increase in membership makes this gym feel like a regular lifetime fitness. read more

I joined in March of 2019, and used it 3 times. The parking lot is tiny and overcrowded, the gym is small and overcrowded, too few machines and too many people at peak periods. Pushy on personal training. I don't need it and told them expressly no, still insisted. Lied to by the guy who signed me up. NEVER discussed 30 day cancellation policy, was told I would get my $$$ back for month I cancelled. When I went in to cancel it was explained to me. The guy who handled my cancellation also lied, said I would not be charged for July, but on my emailed receipt it expressly stated that I would be charged a prorated amount. Twice as much as the normal lifetime and less access. It is cleaner , but not much. These people are dishonest and lacking in integrity to the core. Do not care about members. Oh yes and they told me it was an adult gym not kids. and what do you get when you go at non peak times in the afternoon? High school kids screwing around in the locker room. In the summer? Little kids summer camp. I love kids , but not in a gym. The cafe and merchandise are also overpriced. Stay far away. read more

Expensive! Good facilities. Front desk staff is polite and welcoming. Staff around the workout area is utterly indifferent. Perhaps, only helpful if you pay for the coaches. Cleanliness is spotty. One trainer (lady with cropped hair) had a brutally arrogant attitude. Gyms go belly up in months! Service needs to be improved asap. read more

Beautiful gym overall, however the spa gets a two star had an appointment scheduled into my busy day and had to WAIT 25 minutes after my appointment to be taken back. I can not afford this wait or I would not have scheduled. It will be my last massage here.... read more

Great facilities. The staff is friendly and competent. The classes are great. The spa is beautiful. The cafe has good healthy food.

I joined this club back in October because we moved out to Cass Lake. I did the free week to try it out and loved it. Everyone is very kind, friendly and helpful. Lydia at the front is always so friendly! I came from a boutique studio of similar types of classes (but not such a friendly staff), and I needed something different. I like this Life Time for their classes, there is such a variety. There is a class for everyone, and any age, there is a variety in age and experience in each class. (You can see their class schedules online any day just google it). I would recommend trying classes with Kelly, Patti and John G, they are knowledgeable, experienced and help push you to your limits. I don't have any complaints, I use the locker room and showers daily and they are NOT dirty like other reviewers wrote. The pricing is high (including the spa & cafe), but in comparison to the other Lifetime club's in the area, it's worth it. You're paying for the quality of the establishment and the staff. Also getting a facial here is really worth it! read more

If you're looking for an unbiased opinion of this gym, please scroll down to the 'Gym Review' section. I do want to provide one word of caution to potential members. If you are working with a sales guy named Kenny, please proceed with caution. Prior to committing to a membership, he will act like your best friend and will be very responsive should you have any questions. He was even able to get me a slightly discounted membership that he said wouldn't go up in the near future. Three months later, my dues went up by $20 and when I contacted him to ask why this was he ghosted me and never returned my emails. I eventually said if there is nothing that can be done about the new dues, I would like to return to being a gold level member. Again, I never heard from him, but he did go ahead and downgrade my membership without saying a word. I showed up at the club and was told I was no longer a diamond member. When I contacted him to ask about a few charges on my account that I didn't recognize and why I wasn't able to at least use the club for the month I had already paid for - again... No response. I would urge you to think twice before signing up under Kenny, because it is clear that he only cares about his numbers and not the member. Gym Review This gym, being Diamond level, is a bit nicer than the average Gold level location. That being said, it is a fair amount smaller with less equipment. Honestly if you've seen one Lifetime you've seen them all. I've been a member for over ten years, and I've enjoyed many of their locations. There are only two flat benches and a few squat racks, but generally speaking getting on one of these isn't an issue. The gym is very clean, and the amenities are great. If you live or work near this location, I do think it is worth paying the premium for the convenience. Outside of that, I do think their dues are a bit high for what they offer. read more

This is my everyday gym. I love the service every one is very respectful and nice. Also the locker room are always clean especially the towels. Compared to any other lifetime I have been too read more

Life Time - Gyms Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

This place really is the best place ever! It is worth every penny! Everything is so clean and the staff is super friendly. All of the workout equipment is new and clean. The locker rooms are amazing and clean. I love that women and men finally have their own separate sauna, jacuzzi and steam room. Working out is always a struggle but when I come here it makes me want to workout ! Lol read more

Gym is really clean and nice! Service is good and people are friendly! Cafe is a little slow but besides that everything was good

I could not join because it's too expensive. $359 for a family of 2 adults and 3 kids is insane. I have paid one-third of the price for similar facilities. And they don't even have racquetball or squash courts. Disappointed. read more

Been a member for a couple of months now and I love working out there! The pool is awesome, I've always been able to get a lane, the weights, machines, treadmills etc are top notch and clean. This is a full service gym with a very executive feel. The dry sauna, steam room and jacuzzi are the best especially after a hard workout. What I really like about the place is the locker room and sinks, everything is there to get ready for work. Showers are very clean and private. Life Time Athletic, Bloomfield Hills is worth checking out- membership is limited. read more

They continued to charge my card for 3 months after attempting to cancel. They make you jump through a lot of hoops to even cancel in the first place (an in person "consultation"), etc. Once escalated to social media and the Better Business Bureau I finally elicited a response. They really don't care about the individual customer experience. Will not consider joining their gyms again. read more

This place is an example of the adage "you get what you pay for". I would recommend starting out with a Gold membership to see if you enjoy it before switching to the Diamond. Differences I have noticed: *It's never crowded! Membership is limited to ~4000 members. Easy to find parking and easy to get your equipment. *Everything is sooo clean. I feel like you could almost eat off the locker room floor. *Staff is top-notch friendly and the turnover is low. *I've never encountered a broken swimsuit dryer unlike the gold locations. Also, there is a drain tube for the water instead of the water splashing all over your feet. *The décor is first class...Similar to a hotel or resort. *At the lifecafe you aren't expected to clean up after yourself and real silverware and plates are provided. *The latest and greatest equipment. The treadmills are buttery smooth to run on and a lot of the weight machines have this leather-like texture with a little LCD screen that tells you if you're going too fast or slow. Pretty much all the cardio equipment has personal TV screens with a ton of TV channels to choose from. *If you want to use the hot-tub with someone of the opposite gender you'll have to go to a gold club because at this club they are tied to each locker room. They are smaller in size but cleaner. *The pool water is clearer and doesn't smell like chemicals. *The cherry wood lockers have a customizable combination lock so you don't need to insert your membership card or carry around a key with you while at the gym. They also have a cubby at the bottom for your shoes and another cubby at the top for a hat or something. *Towels are plush size *The steam room is twice as big. *Beautiful glass shower doors and the shower water actually stays warm! *No outdoor pool *More sociable clientele. It's kind of like country club meets box-chain gym. It's a lot less sketchy to leave your phone/valuables laying around than at the other gyms. *More lenient guest policy *Unfortunately, hours are from 4am-midnight. I wish it were open a little later .. maybe 1am or 2am with a skeleton crew or something or open at 5am instead? I imagine there are more people that would use it from midnight to 1am instead of 4am-5am. read more

Great club that is clean and never over crowded. I receive personalized attention and I can always ask questions to their fitness professionals to help keep me informed and motivated to help me achieve my goals. The included group fitness classes are amazing as well and I have been a member since it opened and my Account Manager, Kenny, who signed me up is still there and is the person you should ask for when calling in if you are considering joining as he will offer you a VIP tour and a complimentary pass to experience the club with no obligation to join. The club sells itself!! read more
