The food area is nice but the service is extremely slow. There always seems to be one person working in their and that persons is in slow motion. I believe the employees there don't know how to multitask in that department. A woman (I believe her named is Tes) needs to be folding towels. That's about how much energy/Mojo she puts into her job. Other than that great workout place! read more

I was a little skeptical given that Life Time is slowly assimilating suburbs across the country and my previous gym experiences where its more about locking you into a longterm contract than actually ensuring you have an enjoyable and healthy experience, but this a very nice, family-friendly exercise facility. Even when it's really busy, there is always a machine available. There are several basketball courts, a lap pool, leisure pool, HUGE outdoor pool, two jacuzzis, and multiple saunas. There is also plenty of lounge areas with free WIFI, including a spa/salon and a cafe. Plus, there is a daycare facility to park your kids while you work out. Membership dues are month-to-month. read more

Lifetime fitness has decided to censor the channels you are allowed to view during your workout. They have removed all news and business channels leaving nothing but soaps talkshows and lets make deal type viewing. Their excuse is that they didn't care for the negativity in the news. Well life's a bitch and then you die. If it's negative that's for me to decide and the watch another screen. Oh and have you used those towels. It's like drying off with a cheese grater. read more

I love Lifetime. Michelle with Team Fitness is fabulous! The best part... Although the parking lot is full, in over a year I have never had to wait for a machine. The only down side to this gym is the lack of fans. It gets so hot! LT put up some fans! read more

What a terrible experience. I had been paying for my daughter for her membership through ACH of my bank account. I called them last September and told them to cancel the membership and the ACH on my account. They said no problem; it is done. Never did they tell me I had to come to the facility and do it in writing. Now I discover I have been charged 86.79 for 6 months. I wonder how many other people have fallen for this.

The people lie through their teeth to get your money! They are awful!!! Not one time did I have to set foot in that place to join my son, who is a student, but found out later I have to go in and sign if I want them to stop taking money out of my account!!! Then Gabby wants to act as if I'm the dumb fxxK that should have known I had to come in and sign off on this account to close it! My son joined this club over the phone with my card! They didn't need to see me then! read more

This is the first gym I joined when I moved to Chesterfield 3.5 years ago. I've attempt to switch to other gyms for a cheaper cost but I've decided it's just not worth it. I'm spoiled. I love the environment, employees, people I've met, and just my personal motivation to workout and live a healthy lifestyle. I also love being able to use the LifeTime Fitness gyms in Indianapolis whenever I'm home visiting family. read more

Training with Darrell at Lifetime Fitness has been the best experience I could ask for! Not only does he have unparalleled fitness knowledge, extensive food advice, and exceptional professionalism, but he is also genuinely cares about each and every one of his clients! I have worked with several trainers over the past few years, and have never had someone so deeply invested in my personal gains. The results show in the numbers: I have lost more fat and gained more muscle already in my short time with Darrell than in all my fitness experiences combined. And Life Time Fitness? What a facility to work out in! Everything is newly updated and well maintained. Even if you elect to workout on your own, you couldn't pick a better place! read more

We've belonged for about 4 months after finally determining our other gym didn't meet our family's needs any longer. We are completely sold. Great staff who greet you by name, clean facilities and awesome amenities. I recommend my trainer Brendon P. if you are looking. They do try to make sure you are fully aware of all of their offerings (aka sometimes a bit salesy) but on the other hand they also do a fantastic job promoting their free programs and offer loads of try-it opportunities. I was ready to change my lifestyle when I joined and Lifetime has been a big part of my success. read more

Sales staff make promises but staff delivery is intermittent. Few employees look happy. Getting issues addressed is difficult. Membership pricing depends on day/person. Wellbridge is worth the extra money. read more

They close at midnight not 24 hr but other than that it's a nice gym I like the dressing rooms are super clean

Maybe Life Time Fitness is a nice getaway if you can afford the high costs. But as soon as you can no longer afford it, WATCH OUT for the obnoxious staff's comments. What kind of human beings say to their customers upon cancellation: "GOOD LUCK AT CLUB CHUB"? There is never an excuse to speak to people like that. Get some manners, Life Time Fitness. And some new management. read more

Yes Lifetime Fitness of West County is large, lots of machines and locker rooms are well stocked. Staff very pushy I was told on numerous occasions that I needed a trainer even though I told them that I already had a personal trainer at another gym also they try to sell you supplements! Indoor pool always cold and I was told by other members its always been like that. Then try to resign your membership, you must jump through hoops and pay an extra months membership even if you have extenuating circumstances, they don't want to hear them! read more

I was a member at Lifetime for about 2 years and didn't use the gym facilities to its full capacity. While I did spinning classes, weight lifting, yoga classes, cardio equipment, masters swim sessions, and weight machines I never had a chance to try out the cafe, the salon, child care (my kids are too big) or the rock climbing wall. Life Time Fitness is a VERY nice facility with a myriad of options for anyone looking to get in shape who gets bored easily (ME). This gym is so large though that its easy to get lost both literally and figuratively-especially on the parking lot. Now-let me break it down in terms of the pros & cons: PROS: Gorgeous facility. As in its the Taj Mahal of fitness centers Kick ass instructors: Top of the heap in terms of quality & inspiration Cleanliness. For the amount of traffic rolling through this place the gym is clean. The bathrooms and showers are nice & clean too. I actually enjoyed getting ready there. Variety: So much to do/so little time Wait times for equipment-non existent. There are SO many cardio machines you never have to wait for one. CONS: Price-I get it. You get what you pay for. If you are someone who will use this facility and EVERYTHING it has to offer then you may find this a good value. Given the fact that I have access to a free gym at work, I wasn't using this facility enough to justify paying what I was paying for my membership. Its expensive. Salespeople-When we joined here we had a very young & handsome(according to my daughters) boy set up our membership. It was a complete disaster. No ones name was correct and he made up email addresses so I had to work with the member services gals (who were awesome btw) to get this mess straightened out. I think they hire most of the sales guys based on their looks, not there ability or intellect. I understand this is a vanity based business so I get it but still. Competence is under-rated. Too Big- Not everyone will agree with this but a gym that is this big with so many members loses something in terms of having a personal touch. Its hard to get to know people! Location-They only have one facility in the St. Louis area and while this facility is in West County it is further from my home than I would like. There are gyms that are closer and cheaper that have what I need. read more

This place is awesome! First time there and the people at the front desk were so helpful. The gym upstairs is HUGE and equipment is everything you could dream of. The team of personal trainers are all young and super fit! It's a bit pricey but really neat place. read more

I visit Lifetime 4-5 times each week during the mid afternoon slow time so I can't speak to the heavier times. Though I have heard people say otherwise, I myself have never visited a cleaner gym setting which is impressive when you think about the number of people that use this place on a daily basis. At any time you can find one or two people on each floor cleaning and wiping. The locker room is always just about perfect. People may talk about a towel or two laying around but with 50-60 people coming thru that area every 30 mins it is impressive how clean they keep it. Although their rates are higher than other gyms I have never felt that I wasn't getting my money's worth here. So many machines for cardio that you will rarely wait to get on one although they could use a couple more rowing machines. If I do have one complaint and this keeps them from getting a 5th star in my book, it would be machine maintenance. I would guess part of this is the fact that with so many machines that most people just move to another and don't mention the problems to the staff. But nevertheless they should have staff try out each machine daily because there are many that need some TLC. Whether it be loose chains on the stair masters or broken buttons on elipticals. Weight side of the gym is amazing between free weights and machines you won't find better. Though I don't use the pool inside or out they always appear clean and inviting. The cafe, although pricey offers an amazing variety of food for a gym setting. The few smoothies and lunches I have eaten have always been perfectly prepared. The list of spa offerings are impressive even though I don't use it. Staff is always friendly and inviting and lots of parking is always available. Basketball courts, rock wall climbing and lots of free available classes round out what is an amazing place. Like I said earlier you pay higher dues but you get what you pay for. read more

Very nice facility, clean, and love the steam room. The downside is how expensive and extremely pushy the people that work there are.

Really nice facility but way overpriced! This is the gym for the rich and famous! We couldn't afford to keep our membership going. Very sad.

Best gym in St. Louis. Love the facility, pools, and group fitness classes. My only complaint is the location- wish there were more in St. Louis & centrally-located instead of only out in Wildwood. read more

Dont recommend for short-term / vacation gym needs. Pricing increased to $150 for a 7 day pass. Not worth it in my opinion, because I paid $50 for the same pass this time last year. read more

Avoid this gym/chain. Facilities are certainly large and impressive at first. But once you've signed up for membership, it's a pact with the devil. Super difficult to cancel. If you put your family membership on "hold" (and still pay $15/month for that privilege), there is an auto-expiration they program in where you go back to full price, and they won't refund that $150 if you tell them you are canceling, even after over 5 years of payments, with little actual club use. This attitude is likely corporate wide, pretty ruthless. Steer clear - you've been warned! read more

This is a great gym. All of the amenities are very nice, it's very clean and there is so much equipment, you don't have to wait or do something different than you had your heart set on. The locker rooms are accommodating with towels and blow dryers. Hot sauna and eucalyptus steam. Tons of showers that have soap in them as well. Only small downside, I don't always see people clean their machines (cardio included) and that's just disgusting. But, not necessarily the gyms fault. read more

Love it here! They have everything you need to be your best! Friendly staff always ready to help. Ask for personal trainer David. He's awesome. read more

Huge variety of adult and youth classes, more machines and equipment than I have ever seen, and very flexible hours. The whole gym is very clean, including the gorgeous and fully stocked locker rooms. I would love to join if it was closer. The staff made my daughter and I feel like family. read more

Trained with Darrell for the first time today and honestly I can not wait until my next training session. I learned so much! I feel like up until now I have been cheating myself in the gym but with the help of Darrell I trust that I will continue to grow and get better very soon. read more

It is a very clean gym with plenty on options for group classes as well as personal trainers. I signed up there because they had a child care center. While the facilities are very clean and interesting, the employees are like hitting a jack pot. After a while going there you know which ones are really good with your children, and which are there just to get their dollar an hour. I cringe when I go in the child center and do not see any of the good child care staff, because I would be lucky if I get a 30 minute workout in before I get called in to a crying child or dirty diaper. Some of the staff is really sweet and personable, and some of them are just so cold faced and impressionable that it makes me wonder how they got a job with children to begin with. The person in charge of the child center is the worse to begin with. I am considering canceling my gym membership just because of that. But, If you have no children, I believe you will love this gym. They do, however, use high pressure sales even after you sign up. I believe there are plenty of machines and group classes to ignore those high pressure add on sales. Unless you need a personal trainer to get with the program, you'll be just fine with all the gym offers for a membership fee. read more

This is the best gym i've ever been apart of. I walk in and I'm greeted by Jennifer who, after a few visits, welcomes you by name. Its just so personal and welcoming. The atmosphere is amazing. I leave work and actually look forward to hitting the gym. read more

While the facilities themselves were very nice and clean, I was unimpressed with the staff. I applied to get a job in the aquatics department and all the extra work you have to do to get hired was ridiculous. I understand that it was all for the purpose of making the program the best that it could be, but it shouldn't have been that difficult to go through the whole process. It would also be helpful for the training sessions for new employees to be more accessible, rather than one every 4 months. read more

Love this place. Nice new equipment, fresh towels and clean locker rooms. Well worth the extra money.

Great atmosphere. The majority of the staff is friendly and helpful. My sister is in a wheel chair and it's extremely accessible for her. Wonderful facilities and hardly ever have to wait for a machine. read more

Life Time is the only gym I have ever been proud of. This place has everything I could ever want. The moment you walk in you're greeted by the most friendly staff members. I have never had a bad experience with them. Every trip in is always beyond pleasant because of the staff up front. The gym equipment is nice and plentiful. All of the extra amenities in the locker room are a plus. I can't stay away from the cafe. They have all of the healthy and tasty choices you need. The spa makes it easy for me to rejuvenate whenever I have time. This place is awesome. Shout out to all of the management who help run this location. read more

I had been a longtime customer of Lifetime Fitness, about 10+ years. My experience with them was great until this last month. After graduating from college and moving out of town with my job, I went into the gym for the last time to cancel my membership with them. It wasn't until about 2 months later that I noticed I had a delinquent charge on my account still charging me for the membership. I was able to call my "account representative", Mike Schmidt, and get explanation on what had happened. Not only was he extremely rude over the phone but he also threatened to send me to collections if I did not pay over the phone that day. I have not lived in this area for several months and had specifically cancelled my account before I moved. I have never received this kind of service from them before and was very disgruntled. Needless to say, I will not be returning to this club or any other Lifetime Fitness club in the future. read more

Great facility and staff. They're very up to date with equipment and instruction. If you're looking for a gym that gives you quality for the money you pay, this is it. read more

Pro - very nice facility. Con - Very bad customer support. Make sure you get ALL details of contract. In membership Scott should have explained to me ALL details considering that he was suggesting to sign up over the phone. He said he would take care of me and be supportive b/c I just moved back from NYC and I wasn't sure on the distance and convenience. He suggested that I should sign up for a two week trail and be charged for a different amount. Again he said he would work with me!!! I trusted him and gave him my card# and signed up.... A week later I realized that this gym is not working out for me so I was going to cancel my membership. Things got really bad once I tried to cancel. He was sneaky,careless and no respect towards me. I left over 10msg about cancellation with and in the end it took over 2 weeks to get in contact with him. He played dumb and started saying he couldn't bend any rules and he has to follow company policy. The policy states that I have to cancel my membership one month prior.... so now I'm being charged for 2months + the 2week trail....WTF!!!! I try to work things out and was passed on to Kelly the manager from membership and of course she doesn't know the story, so she tells me its not her problem! WOW!!! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!! Its the mid-west such bad manors towards different ethnicity. I'm from St.Louis moved to NYC and back here once again. Honestly, people look and treat you so differently here and the ones that say they don't ARE the WORST. Its sad that I feel like this in my own home town, but that's the ugly truth from what I see from my eyes. WORST GYM STAFF !!!! read more

Excellent gym, biggest gym I've ever seen. Membership prices are also the highest I've ever paid for a gym. I cancelled because they're in a area that's very difficult to get to, lots of traffic constantly, and it just isn't worth sitting in traffic forever to get to the gym. They need to move to a better location. Cancellation was a bit of a pain, they would not allow cancelling over the phone, they insisted I come in and wait to cancel. Then the salesperson kept trying to convince me not to cancel but there's nothing they can do about traffic. Like I said great gym, lots to do, but difficult to get to. read more

The cycling classes are challenging. The weight area can get crowded, and it seems like there's a personal trainer on every corner of the gym. It's a little annoying, because it seems like they just try to sell you personal training, or busy checking you out. read more

Are the membership rates negotiable here? I was told by Sales that "everybody pays the same, this comes from Corporate'. This is a very nice, clean gym. Lots of free classes to take advantage of. read more

The slides for the pool are still broken, half of the pool season is over!!! My eight year old is very disappointed !!!

BEWARE of this place...I had been a member of Life Time Fitness since November of 2008. I cancelled my membership because my family's lifestyle just didn't fit in to using it enough to justify the insane monthly family fee. All of that aside...the REAL issues is when you resign your membership. I called the local facility that I belonged to on November 3rd and they said I had to send a letter. I sent a letter in the mail the very next day, but they still took out a December payment. When I visited them with a copy of the letter, they told me that I should have sent it certified mail, but there was no mention to me of sending certified when I called a month earlier...how convenient is that? When I gave them a copy of the letter, they couldn't believe I wasn't smart enough to have sent it certified. Bottom line is, they took out a payment for November, a payment for December and it appears that they are going to take out a payment for January, but then credit me back for that amount? What?? This is a classic scam to pull another couple of payments out of your wallet, with no apparent recourse. At the very least, I can warn others of their sneaky tactics. BEWARE...it's not worth the aggravation, all things considered... read more

The facilities are top notch and just beautiful! But there's a couple things that have disappointed me and actually caused us to cancel our membership. First of all, when we signed up we were told that if our life bucks expire (which they do automatically after 90 days) to just let them know and they will put them back on our account, no problem. However that is not what has happened. We had $275 of life bucks and after contacting our sign up employee 5 times and going in circles with different employees, we only have $50 put back on our account now. It's just not worth the headache anymore. But definitely a bummer. Also, we have 3 young kids and are just not comfortable with their childcare. They are great about safety and making sure that only parents can enter in etc... However, they have ALL ages together in one room (minus the 0-12 month babies). This is a huge room with some big kids in it. My kids were extremely overwhelmed the first time they walked in and really don't like going... Still to this day. They beg us not to go. It should be fun but it's just too much for them. They put the 12 month babies or walkers in with all the big kids, which is outrageous to me. Every time you go in there you see big kids running around and little babies just crying at the door. I think there should be more of a separation of ages than what they offer. Also they offer iPads for the kids to play on which is not cool from a parents perspective. You want your kids to play, not be on technology. Also, there are never enough employees in the kids area and it can get pretty busy in there. All that being said, we had to cancel our membership because we have a 10 month old baby and just can trust to put him in the childcare. read more
