It's hard work maintaining my image of a stud muffin. So, I spend quite a few hours in the gym maintaining a body that even Adonis would be proud to have. For years, I have honored Lifetime Fitness with my manly presence, which has, undoubtedly, bolstered their membership drives. Seriously---after touring the gym and witnessing a body of masculine perfection such as mine, what prospective member could possibly NOT join Lifetime with the false hopes of attaining a physique of something similar to mine? (Sadly, Lifetime has not compensated me for this valuable marketing service, nor have they even comped my membership. Oh well.) Since I've been regular member at Lifetime for nearly a decade (and even longer if one considers the predecessor club that Lifetime acquired years ago), you might ask, 'What keeps you there, Gustavo?" Okay, I'll tell you. For the buck, this location is still one of the better gyms in town. Since this is a Lifetime Onyx level membership club, the amenities are a tad nicer--such as complimentary razors, a bit more upscale locker facilities, and newer equipment. It measures favorably with Equinox, and in ways, it's better. And it's convenient. Located right on Central Expressway near Mockingbird, I can quickly and easily zip to Lifetime from most anyplace in central Dallas that I frequent (and no, you'll never make a Gustavo sighting in the burbs). Most importantly, Lifetime has plenty of mirrors. Lots and lots of mirrors. After all, working out would be damn near impossible if I couldn't catch a glimpse of yours truly pumping iron; my body glistening with sweat. Are there downsides of my membership at Lifetime? A few. My gym life becomes a living Hell shortly after the first of the year when the hordes of New Years Resolution folks descend on the gym. Too many folks with no gym etiquette leaving a trail of unwiped sweat and emitting a cacophony of grunts, much like a baboon tribe in the Congo at the onset of mating season. Also, for my tastes, there's too many dudes; many strutting around in a fruitless competition of who's Alpha Dog for the Day. But then again, I begrudgingly can't blame Lifetime for these small blemishes, even though I wish they would quiz prospective members on etiquette and threaten to neuter any dude that acts like a douche. So, if you're checking out Lifetime and you happen to spy me and immediately have the sudden and overwhelming urge to join---please tell the Lifetime folks to give me at least 20% off my membership dues. read more

I joined Life Time when I was living in the suburbs, and loved it. I upgraded my membership when I moved to Dallas so I could go to this location on the weekends, while still visiting a suburban location near my office during the week. The suburban locations (which are cheaper) talked up the Dallas location as being the top of the line version of Life Time, so my hopes were high. I am so disappointed with this location. I drove around the block three times just to figure out how to get to it. Inside, the layout is horrible. I have to walk through a basketball game to get to the weight or spin rooms, which is a harrowing experience. The yoga studio is the size of a bedroom, and the clock in the room is fast, so you have to get there early to get a space. The class instructors aren't very engaging, and don't use the same methods as the instructors at the two other Life Time facilities I visit (like referencing heart rate zones, for instance). The locker room is small, they don't have a pool, and the class schedule is very limited. But for some reason, it's the most expensive location in DFW. The upside is that it's never crowded (probably because it's not worth the money.) It's weird that other locations in the same area do everything so well and this one doesn't. I might downgrade my membership and get my exercise in other ways on the weekends. It makes me crabby to pay extra for a gym that delivers less. read more

I can see why Mark Cuban comes here to work out. It is a super clean environment, a person with OCD would love this place. The weights are always re-racked and are put back in order (I love this). To give you an example of the emphasis they place on keeping this place clean, I saw four people cleaning, wiping down the machines/weight room after the lunch rush. This included a trainer, a staff member, and an admin in a dress. The admin, in her dress, pushed a bench rack 1" back so that it was in line with the two other bench racks. That, my friends, is attention to detail. One readily picks up on the fact that this is a team effort and a well run organization where everyone pitches in. Also, a lot of staffers here have earpieces, and I heard them saying things like "I'm on it" as they walk around the floor. It had the feeling of security at a bar with the communication going on. You will also rarely see a machine out of order here. They have a full-time staff of engineers at the ready should anything break down. So if there is a break down, repair work starts immediately. I think that is really, really nice. This gym is similar to Equinox, but not as pretentious. It's an expensive place, but offers a lot of resources. I would say Lifetime isn't as trendy as Equinox; it has more cake, less frosting. They aren't going to try to get you with what's in their shampoo bottles, but with the programs they have to offer. Trainer's dress is more understated than at Equinox, which I appreciate. They don't wear lycra, they wear t-shirts. But you can still tell the dudes are jacked because there's no hiding a 17" bicep on a 5'8" frame. I also noticed that they all had good posture/movement. These weren't just guys who benched and curled, they paid attention to their whole body and didn't suffer from "douchebag shoulders". I was also told that in order to be a trainer here you have to have at least a college degree, usually a master's degree. So they seem to have a very high standard here. They also have a food/nutrition spot. The Sales rep bragged about how their products are so high-quality Baylor hospital sends their patients here to get supplements/vitamins. So there's that. There were also ready to go meals that listed the macros and allergy contents. That could be really convenient, though I didn't get a chance to look at their prices. They also have a Spa that is open to the public. So if you're looking for a good spa experience this place may be what you're looking for. Facilities/Layout They have a very large cardio room filled with the latest treadmills, Ellipticals, and stairclimbers. I was a little surprised that they only have two rowing ergs, and they keep them in the corner of the boxing area (oh did I mention they have an area with punching and speed bags?) They also have a basketball court. I was told their ultimate hoops program is highly regarded, but I have no way to verify this. They have a really large spin room, where there is never a line and you don't have to try to reserve your spin machine. Apparently that's an issue at most gyms, but they decided to make their spin room huge. They also have a group exercise room, so this is where they have their step aerobics and whatnot (is step aerobics still at thing?). Concerning the weightlifting facilities, they have tons of machines and quite a bit of free weights, I think I saw dumbbells as heavy as 120# (I have actually had issues with being capped at 100#, so this is a great thing). I think they had three squat racks, so color me impressed. ...Although I did see someone actually doing bicep curls in the squat rack, which is simply sacrilegious. Obviously that isn't the gyms fault but it gives you an idea of their clientele. That all being said, they don't have bumper plates, and the gym floor kind of had a feel of a no lunkhead allowed vibe, but that could have just been me. I have a feeling if I deadlifted some significant weight and let it drop I would get a stern look at a bare minimum. So, for me, this place didn't feel... right. During my workout I couldn't find any parallel bars with which to do dips, so I walked around for a good 5 minutes looking for a trainer/staffer/employee and couldn't find one. Perhaps everyone was out to lunch. I eventually found the dip bar on my own. The clientele is not as flashy as equinox, at least the lunch crowd. There were some women wearing booty shorts, and one dude wearing a tank, but other than that it seemed more performance oriented gear. I saw two younger brosephs working out and overheard one say "We could join equinox". Perhaps they weren't digging the vibe of the joint The bathrooms were expansive and very clean. They have a lot to offer: sauna, hot tub, nice showers, razors and shaving cream, etc., but still no aftershave. I guess gyms just don't believe in aftershave. read more

"Sell, sell, sell" mentality. Unprofessional personal trainers. Feels like a sales oriented business rather than a gym. Ok facilities, but I personally don't like the feeling of worrying about anything other than working out while in the gym. I do not recommend this place. read more

I will start by saying this gym is EXPENSIVE. Like the most I have ever paid for a gym...ever. No negotiations. But since I can reimburse $50 a month through work and because since quitting smoking my ass has grown to unacceptable sizes, I decided to give this place a go. My first week I was skeptical. This place is huge and there is a giant basketball court right smack in the middle with guys running around, sweating and pretending to be Dirk. After a sub par spin class and then getting nailed by a b-ball, I was not happy. On to week 2, I tried some new classes and explored the gym a little bit...this place ain't so bad.... Week 3. I am in lust. I have a major crush on my gym. Here is why: the locker rooms are always clean with fresh towels, a steam room, and a hot tub. There are TONS of cardio equipment, you never have to wait, not even at the 5-6pm hours of insanity. The machines are cleaned by staff every hour. There is a huge array of cardio group classes. My faves are barbell strength, and Tuesdays 6pm spin with Morris. I love that there is a separate studio for spin downstairs with a TON of bikes ( you never have to worry about not getting in), a big studio upstairs with all kinds of different classes, and then a smaller studio with punching bags and another one for whatever. Finally, there is a whole separate region for the yoga and Pilate's classes. This is closed off by glass doors and has wood floors, comfy couches, cubbies for your shoes and a 2 huge rooms. They provide everything you need (mat, blocks, towels, etc). The yoga classes are soothing and excellent. I have yet to try to the Pilates, but I would like to. Even the cafe is good and has the nutritional info on everything they sell! I could go on and on, but I will say is, this place is worth every penny. read more

CrossFit, circuit training, group exercise, functional training, resistance training, cardio training. Feeling dizzy yet? Never before have there been so many structured activities at the gym vying for your attention. Now, My husband has been working/lifting out in gyms for over a 2 decades. I'll say that these rules of etiquette aren't just for newbies. I see a lot of "veterans" who completely disregard them or just simply aren't aware of what they are doing. So whether it's your 1st or 500th time in the gym, it would serve you well to peruse this review: Examples: Is chalk (for your hands on moves like deadlifts or pull-ups) allowed or not? Some facilities don't want to have to clean up the mess, while others allow you to coat the place like Tony Montana's mansion. We came in for 2 days with all our gym equipment in our bags handles chalk ect. We were asked several times to lock our gym bags up and had many dirty looks. The employees were rude with no discretion. When my husband asked if he was allowed-to use chalk? The employee was rude did not explain anything pulling a drawer out and offered liquid chalk.( he politely decline No music what so ever playing at all. No fans anywhere at all, no air circulating at all. The all the equipment was 15+ years old and had 5 Duffy brands of equipment(we know this because 25 years of working out 3-4 days a week consistently) The carpet was at least that old. The Basketball court were in the middle of the floor completely open we're balls could hit people when they are working out with 110 pound dumbbells. (Lawsuit waiting to happen ) They called this a Diamond club, when I returned bk to our state I asked what makes this a Diamond club. I was told location/Vicinity . It had nothing to do with The extreme out dated equipment. That you're paying well over $100 a month for. It had a snack bar the spa/salon that's what you're paying for not the equipment,experience not to be able to work out with your handles,chalk or to music and have-conveniently with you I'm not saying in the middle of Isle as a trip hazard. Not allowed to drop weights and/or deadlift? Some facilities in office buildings won't allow this, as it makes a ton of noise for other tenants. One last thing No taking off your shoes on the mats.. It's always great to have eye candy in marketing but button line see what makes the money and what brings the customers in. The high prices does keep certain types of people out. We visited lower end club . Maculate pool ,spa ,dry sauna ,wet sauna for enclosed basketball court ,entire kids club, all brand new equipment, immaculate cycling rooms ,huge rooms for different classes they have consistently. Tanning, racquetball courts& massage room.They have an enforced dress code they have huge industrial fans music is playing have classes going on in the sometimes in the center of the room it's enclosed about 4 foot fence that equipment is only for those people. The basketball games going on do not affect anyone, they have special rooms for group training and that equipment is off limits to use. This is a place I would not mind drou$100-200 person on. Huge restrooms waiting areas women's/mens facility they did an exceptional job! read more

So as much as this review won't try and make it sound like a club of pretentious, alpha-types; the Onyx Level of Lifetime Athletic tends to have more than the usual fill compared to other gyms. But still, it's a dramatic step below the pretension of those with the engraved nameplates on their personal lockers. SMH. So, I won't complain about the fees because as a frequent traveler, the Onyx level clubs allow access to multiple gyms around the country where I most frequently travel to and give that extra level service that provides a certain convenience. But if you're a one-gym type of person, there are much more economical clubs that may fit your fitness needs. This location provides things that other LT's in the area don't because of the club level: free razors and q-tips along with the collaboration of bath items from JR Watkins, speed bags and boxing equipment on the the second floor, and towels in the cardio room that are chilled in the fridge. Now, for some, that may not be worth the membership fees. For others, it's an added bonus that sets Lifetime apart from some other gyms. And since the majority of members are the type to get in, get the workout, and get out, I think you may have a hard time in trying to find a time-wasting cornfed, Captain Jacked Sparrow musclehead or dainty blonde wearing too-tight Lululemons with $600 worth of makeup while walking at 0.5 mph on a treadmill. Not that those types don't exist, I just haven't seen them here. Yet. Since 95% of us are not all cut from the single marble slab by Michelangelo; Lifetime is there to make the effort to look a little more 6Pac and a lot less beer keg for the busy professional needing to burn the calories. read more

Been a member for 6 months now and I like it but I don't think it's worth all the money you pay for a membership. However it's either this or Equinox which is way more! Not a bad thing to say about this gym except the price ($134/month for myself). I've been a member at other lifetimes in the suburbs of Houston and it is half the price and you get a bigger gym. I'm not sure why this location is a diamond (the highest level of lifetimes) yet it is lacking so many amenities (pool, rock wall, full basketball court, racquet ball room, multiple studios). Pros: -you don't have to bring a single thing to the locker room. You get shampoo, conditioner, soap, razors, shaving cream, lotion, mouthwash, blow dryers, diffusers, towels), heck they even have an iron here. -clean, someone is always in the locker room cleaning -in locker room sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi -salon on site (unfortunately no nail service) -spa on site -great cafe with good food and smoothies -up to date machines and plenty of them -huge cardio room -cucumber water is yum -eucalyptus chill towels -great service-the front door ppl know your name -awesome child care center for my daughter. They are the big reason I chose this gym. They're different from other gyms in that they change diapers and also feed your baby snacks/drinks provided in the diaper bag. Cons -I always feel like life time is trying to sell you something! I just put my headphones on blast bc I don't want to hear a trainer convince me I need personal training and a massage at the spa to go with it! They are always trying to sell you protein powder, weekends they usually try to sell clothes, and sometimes some kind of back therapy thing of some sort. They are money hungry and it can get annoying to look at. I'm already giving them enough! -the yoga room is tiny! There is a barre class in there that is always overcrowded ppl are working out in the hallways! -there is just 1 studio room so not too many classes offered as oppose to other life times, and this one is supposedly a diamond level. Overall decent gym, just be ready to spend some $ read more

This is truly a 5 star athletic club! Amenities are incredible with spa, jacuzzi, steam room etc. There is a cafe and child care. The fitness class selection is also top notch. Yoga and barre are included with membership. A lot of people pay hundreds of dollars monthly just to take those classes. My personal favorite is the boxing classes. This place is worth every penny! read more

Life Time - Trainers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

They charge way more then what u get! OK the place is always clean, friendly stuff, the locker rooms are extremely more then the average gym, the cafe is great , the place is never packed and u can always find your place. But the price, come on, $120???? I understand that they can't charge $50 or $60 (great location) but 120 it's way too much. Why I signed up? It's less the 5 min from my home and I knew that will stick to it this time since I'm paying so much... read more

Overall, this is a really good gym. The staff is friendly, the equipment is clean and in good condition, and you won't often have to wait for a machine if you avoid going at peak times (5-6pm). The locker room looks great, though it's usually a little smelly, and the bathroom is sometimes dirty and out of toilet paper. The main reason I can't give this gym five stars is because I don't think it's at all worth the price considering what it offers. The price is really high, and the Premier Place location isn't open 24 hours (or even very late) and doesn't have a pool in the building. You do have access to the pool at SMU, and other Lifetime Fitness locations offer what Premier Place lacks, but they're all located out in the suburbs. I understand that rent for this location right off I-75 is probably expensive for the company, but there are much more affordable gyms a short drive away. The Premier Place gym also gets pretty crowded right after work lets out, and I don't want to have to wait around for a machine when I'm paying so much for a gym membership. If money isn't an issue for you, I don't think you'll be disappointed by this place. Like I said, it's a really good gym overall. I also think it would be a good fit for someone who works near the Premier Place location and lives near one of the suburban locations, especially if you work odd hours and can avoid the crowds. The other locations seem even nicer than Premier Place, especially considering their hours and pool options. If you're interested in getting a good deal, though, I'd look to other gyms in the area. I never felt like what I got my money's worth at Premier Place. read more

You know it's a fancy gym when you see Mark Cuban working out. This gym is really nice and it is really clean. I'm not sure why this one is extra when it comes to membership. I only wish the studio was bigger especially during January when all the resolutionists show up. It's set up differently, and it's on the 7th floor in the Merrill Lynch building. Not much to say except it's a gym that serves water! read more

Poor management, has potential to be a great gym but needs new management in place. Back to equinox it is.

Overpriced and to cancel you have to go in-person. Also they subscribed me to a magazine I didn't request and I received a letter and a magazine that said I would start being charged unless I contacted THEM to cancel. I called the number to cancel the subscription, and it wouldn't let me because it didn't recognize my member number. Regarding the gym membership, I was told my first month would be discounted because I already had a gym membership elsewhere. They charged me the full price and when I called about it, they finally told me I had to send a copy of my other gym's bill and they would discount my fee on the next bill.... this is two months after the fact, once I finally got around to calling them on it. Just too expensive and you have to jump through too many hoops. read more

Great gym but does not have a pool unfortunately.

The best & most luxurious athletic club in Dallas at a reasonable rate. No contract required & monthly rate beats the competition (Equinox). Lively, upbeat, & friendly staff which makes coming in a pleasure. Enough cardio machines & classes to keep me busy & entertained any day of the week. Yoga classes are just like going to a standalone store as they have setup a very zen atmosphere for it. Barre classes led by Bobbi are sure to kick your butt and have you looking amazing. I also love the core class, spin, & kickboxing. They have so many to choose from... they are all very challenging & led by experts. Organic bath products stocked in the locker room, razors, built in locks, steam room, sauna, hair dryers & so much more... I'd rather get ready here than in my own bathroom. Spa services are phenomenal too. Hydra facials, massages, & hair services all done by certified professionals. Cafe has GREAT healthy food & smoothies! Love it here. read more

Love this gym (and that's something coming from someone who usually hates being a member at any gym)! The staff is really friendly, the facility is never crowded even during peak times, and the lockers and equipment are always clean. I also love their spa/sauna area. I love working out here and taking a few minutes to relax in the sauna. The membership fees are steep compared to the gyms around the area, but you have to consider whats included - which is pretty much everything besides personal training. The gym itself is spacious with classes offered throughout the day. There are plenty of cardio machines of all types so you never have to wait. Also, they have staff come around the place towels on the machines or offer you towels if you need them. I also really like the chilled eucalyptus towels they have everywhere. I also like the added services here, especially the little cafe they have attached near the entrance. The food there is always delicious, fresh, and quick. It's nice to have a place to grab something on your way out if you are starving after your workout. It's decent prices, but can get pricey if you do add-ons for the shakes. The ladies locker room is so clean and always fully stocked with towels, toiletries, and anything else you might need after a shower. They also have brushes, hairdryers, and individual vanities, which is nice. The saunas are never crowded, most of the time, they are empty so you can take as much time as you want to relax in there. An attendant or two is always around cleaning, restocking towels, and maintaining the locker room. read more

I have been to the awesome Lifetime fitness in Plano and Allen, which are identical and I frequent the Premiere club behind Mockingbird station. I have to say, this gym is everything you would possibly need in a gym. It is a little more expensive than other chain gyms, but you get so much more. The Plano and Allen gyms have a super large facility with outdoor and indoor poos with slides on both for the kids. A huge cardio and weight room. It aslo has a spa and a food and beverage cafe. The Premiere facility does not have a pool, but has free access to the SMU pools on their campus. The workout areas a lot smaller than the other facilities. But this place also has the cafe and the spa. I really like this place at Premiere. It's clean and it seems everyone is really into working out. It's not a hang out gym rat place. Generally everyone is there to get into shape and keep their shape. The personal trainers are awesome. They really know what they are doing with all forms of training. And if something is not their forte, they will find you the answer you need or hook you up with an associate. There is group training, weight management yoga pilates and biking. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a new gym. It's great. You must take the tour and get in there. read more

Excellent customer service and nice facilities! Pros: The gym and locker rooms are always clean, free access to lockers, never overly crowded, variety of classes - including hot yoga, eucalyptus-scented refrigerated towels, friendly staff, plenty of treadmills, convenient parking. Cons: They only have 4 stair climber machines read more

My membership has been put on hold. I decided to cancel that holds before the Covid lockdown. I walked into the club to cancel the membership in person. I was told to my face that I did not need to complete any forms. I walked out of the club believing that my membership has been canceled permanently. Now it is June and I am still being charged at hold fee. I need to be reimbursed for everything charged to me since March. read more

Really enjoy working out here. Big open space with nice amenities and a great basketball court. They have every type of equipment for every type of training and the space is very neatly designed. I don't have to worry about setting my phone down and it getting stolen either (hard to find that at gyms!). Overpriced cafe but thats standard for every Lifetime. Best club in Dallas in my opinion! read more

I LOVE this gym. I've been away a year so can't speak to what has happened since, but had a great experience as a member for several years. I was a grad student at SMU at the time and received an awesome student discount. I moved cities and am currently on the hunt for a gym - it's hard to find a comparison to Life Time (have been dipping my toes in at both the grungy, meatheady bottom and the snotty, elite top of the gym spectrum, and they're both nightmares. Makes me miss how good LT is). I could go on and on... helpful and kind staff; off-duty personal trainers help clean equipment and rerack weights; plenty of free weights, benches, and multiple of every machine; enough space to spread out from other members; anytime member access to the InBody body fat scale, unlike some clubs (lookin' at you, Equinox); convenient cafe with a wide range of healthy and yummy items; locker room stocked with all the essentials (towels, shampoo, conditioner, razors, shaving cream, cotton balls, q-tips, mouthwash, lotion, plenty of hair dryers); sauna, steam room, and whirlpool all in separate men's/women's locker rooms; plenty of group classes, cycling, yoga and pilates; and I was happy with the several spa appointments I made, as well. I suppose the only drawback is that there is no pool onsite, though I was told Lifetime members have access to the rec pool across the highway at SMU. Life Time is a globogym and has a higher price tag than some alternatives, but I'm quickly coming to learn that nicely-kept, fully-stocked gyms (that open early and stay open late) for people who just want to be left alone and lift solo are difficult to come by in this CrossFit/Camp Gladiator/Barre era. Life Time definitely fits that need... LT please build inside the Loop in Houston!! read more

Life Time - Lifetime Athletic club. Dallas. - Trainers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Just joined in November. Great assortment of weight lifting machines. They carry Freemotion Fitness equipment which provides for an unlimited range of motion. Premier also has a basketball court, raquetball and squash, yoga, spinning classes, a lap pool, cardiovascular machines, etc. Only drawback is that the decor is a little old, mired in the 80s, and needs an update. I keep thinking of Don Johnson, Madonna and Molly Ringwald every time I walk in here. Now that's a threesome! read more

My favorite gym ever....more expensive than the average? YES, but for me it pays....very friendly staff, no lines for using equipment, clean equipment, NO douchebags and they have bunch of free classes. read more

Nice gym but not worth the price at all. A lot of better options and no need to spend that kind of money for this gym.

I'm not sure what Donna is referring to in the prior comment, but I have been going to Stephen for years! The only reason I have ever even stepped foot in this gym is to have him do my hair (and I'll follow him if he ever leaves too.) It's very hard to find someone that does blonde well, and he always does my highlights perfect! He has been nothing but nice and complimentary towards me and everyone I've ever seen him interact with for the entire time I've been his client. I've met the fantastic staff here at the spa, and they are all extremely courteous, helpful and detail oriented. They always follow up with me when I'm past due for an appointment and take great care of me when I come in. On a side note, the cafe has great lite bites and healthy meals if you want to grab something on your way out. read more

The staff members are friendly and welcoming. Lots of space to work out while social distancing. The amenities are nice and relaxing. I'm only about 7 minutes from the gym on 75, so the location is great for me too. read more

I've been going to this gym for almost 5 years and love it. They have the best group fitness classes with great instructors. I love the boxing class, barre classes, and cycling classes. The dance jam class is one you can't get anywhere else, is so addicting and will always put you in a good mood. There's plenty of equipment to use and a large cardio area. Everyone from staff to members is very friendly, more like a "fit fam". It's more than a gym, it's true health club experience with plenty of amenities like steam rooms, spa and cafe. read more

IMO there's only one reason why people go here- it's because they haven't been to Equinox yet. lol! Ok, ok. I have been a member at both gyms and this is my honest review. Life Time sucks. Seriously. Unless you want a basketball court, racquetball rooms, and lots of Fox News by the treadmills- this place doesn't hold a candle to Equinox. The weight room is cramped as most of the sq. footage is used for conference rooms and seldom used yoga studios. I don't understand why a gym would waste so much space on rooms that people barely use. There are also lots of those silly fitness classes available and events for children. It is the most random suburbia-style-soccer-mom gym. I didn't run into a lot of fit people so I eventually lost interest in going. The management is terrible. They lied to me three times (in person, over the course of two weeks) about canceling my membership. Then it took six visits to the club where each time I sat down with a manager and asked for my cancellation in writing. It wasn't until the sixth time that they gave me the confirmation. On a lighter note, the "spa" is the equivalent of a SuperCuts with a mani pedi bar in the back. But they do sell Bumble and Bumble products. For that they get one star. This place is totally different from the LifeTime I used to go to in Collierville, TN. The *awesome* experience I had there is part of the reason I chose to join in Dallas but I am massively disappointed. Apparently this gym is rated higher by LifeTime but that doesn't even make sense (other reviews have similar complaints). COST: Arguably one of the most important considerations so let me break it down. -Lifetime $110/mo with $100 startup fee. This location is worth a solid $65/mo at best. I used to pay $90/mo in TN. -Equinox $160/mo with $0 startup fee (bc there are specials running all the time). I would happily pay more but please don't tell them I said that! I love my gym and I'm so glad I made the switch. read more

Very nice gym with all the perks. They don't have a swimming pool, but you get access to SMU's pool facilities. I love the boxing area and the "little things" they give you in the dressing rooms. You know, q-tips, after shave etc. The LifeCafe is awesome and the staff here is def. TOP NOTCH! Check out the group fitness classes! read more

We like lifetime overall, enjoy the classes they provide even tho this location is smaller than the others. But the new manager they got was TERRIBLE. Worst communication you can ever get from a $150 membership gym. She was rude and disrespectful, the most anointing thing is after they reopen after covid they decided to CLOSE the gym on Memorial Day without updating google or yelp or their own app, didn't even bother to send out an email to inform their members. So we wasted our time to go over there, joined the rest of people were already there to wondering what is going on. It is unprofessional and ridiculous. REALLY DISAPPOINTED!!! read more

Mediocre gym design. Horrible customer service. Impossible to cancel memberships. Zero leadership. Get your act together!

Been a member here for 8 years and whenever I have had a complaint, which is rare, they took care of it immediately. Membership is month to month so not sure why people are complaining about cancelling. Staff is beyond friendly and gym is spotlessly clean, equipment is constantly being upgraded, classes are intense and if you have kids, they have complimentary child care and an awesome healthy retaurant read more

Worst experience ever! After being an on and off again member since the mid-90s, I've just gotten ripped off for several hundred dollars. My wife went into the club to cancel in person (they won't take a cancellation over the phone although in fairness, you can cancel at any lifetime fitness.) Two months later we noticed we were still being billed so we called where we cancelled. The manager we escalated the problem to said they had no record of our signature, and there was nothing they could do even though we haven't been to the club in months because "they don't charge for usage." Worst service ever, she wasn't wiling to offer anything and basically implied we were lying to her. I'll never use this gym again. Keep your receipts for anything you pay for there. read more

The facility is nice. I will give them that. The management staff is awful. The only reason I joined this gym was for the squash courts. They are doing a renovation to the free weight area and decided to relocate all the weights to the squash courts except for one. So that leaves 40 people playing squash in one court. I reached out to management (Andy) to ask for a couple weeks off my dues for the following month since I only come for the squash courts. He could not have been any less helpful. He said he left one court for us and that should be plenty. Little does he know that on any given night there are 10+ people using all 3 courts and on the weekends every court is packed from 9am til noon. Now with our one court we have to make a reservation. Yeah... that seems fair. Also when I decided to join I was told I would get 200 lifetime bucks for joining that day. To this day I have yet to see any of those lifetime bucks. If you are still reading this and you are not a squash player, there are plenty of gyms in the area that are much cheaper that have everything that you need. read more

This is one of the worst area businesses to do business with. They nickel and dime you, and have written their contracts such that they are always advantaged. Unfortunately, they have the only basketball court in the area, so one is forced to do business with them if one wishes to play basketball. Just one of many examples of bad experiences: I have a membership for my 15-year old and tried to put the membership "on hold" for the time he was away at summer camp..."Oh, we're sorry", they told me when I called 29 days in advance..." You should have called 60 days in advance." So I was forced to pay nearly $200 for the privledge of not cancelling the membership (which would have cost even more because there is a 30 to 60 day cancellation clause). What a terrible company! read more

This is seriously the best gym I have ever been a member of, and I used to be a member at Equinox before I made the switch. The staff is fantastic. Everyone is so friendly from the staff to the members. The classes are great, albeit sometimes a bit too crowded but that's expected with any classes at a gym. Everyone is so knowledgeable in their respective craft. The gym feels so much like a community more so than just a gym, which makes it so much easier to keep going back to. I highly recommend for anyone to join!! read more

Convenient and big but old and stale. Most significant gripe: showers smell bad and have drain flies. Pretty much no excuse for that. read more

Best gym in the Dallas TX area. Extremely polite staff too! Very clean and organized. Bobby Reese is the BEST trainer you can find. If you want to look good and get in shape, find him! He'll push you way past your comfort level and you will get the most out of every exercise and, over time, you will see the difference! read more
