How can you go wrong with a pool, gym, spa... Best gym in AZ. Little pricey. But worth every penny

Definitely not worth the price. Outdated equipment, gross bathrooms, and too many creeps

I'm here because it's so close to my home. Nice amenities. Love the sauna set up. Good amount of equipment, gym space and plenty of classes. But member beware, you are a mark every step that you take in this facility. It's one thing to be informed of services but another to be blasted on them over and over and over again. I have a a wife and two kids enrolled and it's like living in the spam filter on your inbox but with high pressure trial close tactics that won't stop. And gosh forbid you have any of their "LT Bucks" in your account-you'll be hit up on them from the day care center to the sales people in suites to the coaches on the floor to your email inbox. It's like walking into that scene in Minority Report where the ads start attacking you . read more

I thought this would be an easy kill. I was already perturbed at their sales staff for standing me up on a previous appointment... so when the 'free week' coupon came in the mail, I foresaw my Yelpers revenge, for my mission was to scribe their demise, at their hand. -Day 1- It was a sweltering August Sunday afternoon. A slight breeze blew as I walked across the parking lot towards the reception desk. Every few steps, a wisp of chlorine from the outdoor pool would reach me. The absence of smiles from the faces of each exiting member told me that I was about to be part of something special. The associate at the front desk invited me to peruse the complex in return for my signature. I looked up from my autograph session to behold a large plasma TV serving up music videos. As I walked into the mouth of the beast, one word came to mind... conglomerate. Yes, this was a Herculean aggregation of raw fitness potential. Passing by several vacant mini-meeting rooms, I pondered the sheer number of financial obligations which had been entered into. The men's dressing room left me in awe. I beheld cherry wood lockers and granite countertops. Surely these are materials which doctors and lawyers would afford in their grand country clubs. Oh my, I see a chorus line of fancy chrome plated hair dryers. Good lord, the bathrooms are sealed off. No longer would I have to be subject to the smells and sounds of hunkered patrons working through their 'man-cramps' (aka: stewing chamber pot chili). Their aquatic offering was subdivided into an indoor and an outdoor water park. A 5 lane lap pool, Olympic pool with 2 water slides, 2 jacuzzis and a sauna comprised the indoor kingdom, while a 4 lane lap pool, huge swimming/playing pool with 2 slides and a mushroom constituted the outdoor funfair. Yay! They had the obligatory bleach blonde lifeguard. Schwing! [gyrate hips forward] A misting system provides a cooler climate for heat conscious loungers, and an on-site snack bar offered wrap and salad alternatives to the commonplace fare. The outdoor area was clamoring with harmonies (screaming kids) typical of a public pool. The 2nd floor of the facility is reserved for the rows of workout machines. There are no less than 23 giant video screens built into the walls. OK Lifetime Fitness, you win round one. But there are so many other levels which you can fail at, and six days to do it. ~Swoop Update 07/28/2008: OK, I cant be hating any more. I love this place and became a member after they threw some cool perks my way. You wanna try something new? Check out the class with the pilates machine. read more

I recently moved from Texas. WE have been member with Lifetime for 4 years. All Texas locations are the best gym clubs one can find. Gilbert, AZ location is the worst so far when it comes to cleanliness and keeping up. Bathrooms stink and steam room is very dirty every time I have been there. Corporate from Texas clubs need to come visit AZ and fix these clubs. I am cancelling my membership today and on lookout for better options. read more

I have been going here for a while and I must say that the facilities here are superb. There are tons of machines, stair steppers, and treadmills, most within reasonable distance of a TV if you want to watch something while you work out. It is a two floor facility with racquetball courts, pools, reception, etc residing on the first floor, and the second floor is purely a workout area. I have tried both the inside and outside pools and both are nice. The inside pool is heated and has dedicated lanes so they are perfect for those wanting to swim laps. I have never really been one for gym cafes but the one here is actually pretty good. They have a good selection of protein shakes, smoothies, and the low-cal meals are actually worth the price. The monthly cost is higher than other gyms, but you get so much more included. For instance, the showers/towels/use of the sauna is all covered in the membership. Did I mention that the sauna is lavender-scented? Because everything is included, I have found myself spending more time at the gym. Some weights, watch some TV on the exercise bike, take a shower, spend some time in the sauna, have a healthy meal in the cafe, then go home or back out afterwards. The net-net of spending more time at the gym has contributed to me losing five pounds in the last four months. Sure, this gym costs more, but that shouldn't matter if you get results. read more

Gym is always extremely crowded in all areas of the gym. I was playing basketball with my son and one of the other men on the court stole my AirPods right off the bench where my hat was. I asked the manager to check the cameras to find out who stole them and they said that the manager who has access to the cameras won't be in until tomorrow. Either they will find out who stole them and convince him to give them back or else they will buy me new ones. If not, I will be joining vasa fitness where they don't have thuggish thieves lurking around the basketball court. I joined Vasa fitness in Chandler and I love it! Only $10 per month and all the machines/free weights are always open because all the suckers are paying $60 for lifetime read more

The sauna has been broken for almost 3 months at this point, seems they don't care about it either. Gotta be the worst Lifetime in the area.

Let me start off by saying, that I am a 63-year-old African-American male. I joined Gilbert Lifetime Fitness in 2004. My motivation to join was driven by my desire to relieve job-related stress (I work as a commissioned corps pharmacist). On Saturday 2/4/23 I arrived at the gym before 7:30 A.M. to do my weekly 30-minute ride on the stationary bike. During the last minute of my ride a White man approached me. He identified himself as the manager and knew my first and last name. His complaint was that I was breathing too loud and if I could keep it down, because he has been receiving complaints from member(s) on Saturdays. I told him, that was not possible (I train at 80-90% effort, averaging anywhere from 26-27 mph). I suggested, that I could start my ride when the gym opens (5:00 A.M. on the weekends), but he suggested that I find a bike facing the wall or use the spin class room. I have never received a complaint from management during my nearly 19 years of membership. My questions are: 1. Why didn't he give me the benefit of the doubt in lieu of my complaint-free membership? 2. Why did he immediately take the side of the member(s) who were complaining? The only thing I could think of is that the personal attack was racially motivated (working out while Black). When I told my daughter she became very upset and wanted me to terminate her membership. She also felt the attack had racial undertones. This event was extremely traumatizing. This country is deeply divided and situations like this don't help us to bridge the divide. read more

I love this place. The kid's academy hours included in the membership make it a deal for any parent to have fun and play while you can work out, use the steam room, etc. We love the outdoor pool too. They offer 'parents night out' twice a month. I use the lap pool and treadmill, spa, cafe, and steamroom. My daughter loves the summer camp. This place helps keep me sane when the temps are 100+ for sure. read more

Just wanted to take opportunity to thank Member Service desk. My son was a member & he suddenly passed. We received a notice for his dues. Because of Covid, his death certificate is not ready. I only had a ltr from Medical Examiners office. Needless to say, I was treated with compassion & utmost respect. Was able to cancel his membership with no additional charges. Thank you for helping me during this difficult time. read more

FYI returning from covid they charge you bc you failed to give a 30 days notice. What a dogsgit company that tries to money grab during a pandemic. Fuck this company. read more

I haven't been back since they did the remodel, however, I was there during it and can say that I wasn't impressed with the changes. My son still takes swimming lessons here, which have been great for him but I have been increasingly uncomfortable coming here since I saw one of the trainers put up a picture on Instagram making fun of a woman working out. Not good. Yesterday my son went to the day camp because his school was closed for RedForEd. We thought it sounded fun and engaging but when I picked him up, he was miserable and on the verge of tears. One of the two activities my son was looking forward to (rock climbing) was skipped due to one kid not wanting to participate. Were there no alternate activities planned? But the most upsetting was my son was bullied and left to play alone a lot of the time. As a parent, I know that kids aren't perfect and never expected that but when I hear the things I heard last night, I was pissed to say the least. I emailed the kids manager today to let her know. I don't expect anything to come of that but hopefully being aware they can make some changes so it doesn't happen again. Needless to say, we won't be doing camp again. He does like the kids academy though. Never had any complaints there. Sadly, we'll probably be canceling our membership soon. I can't justify the cost anymore. ****** *Update 4/30* We canceled our membership. The icing on the cake was when the kids manager, Samantha Schultz, left me a voicemail basically insinuating my son lied about his experience. I was kind of offended by her voicemail and the fact that she not once talked to me in person to get more information. It was just full on justification on her end with a "yeah, so....give me a call" which I did but has gone unreturned. On a positive note, I will say the cancelation process was easy. Just went in and explained I wanted to cancel and why. Boom. Got the email confirmation on my way out the door. Wasn't pressured to stay or anything. I also wasn't asked who the trainer was that left the nastygram and I didn't offer up the name either, but it's concerning that the only response I got was the standard, "Oh, I'm so sorry!" Didn't expect much there either. Just glad we're done. read more

Things have improved in the daycare. Love all the amenities as well. They have done a lot of revamping and remodeling. I wish the weight room was bigger though. read more

Love the pool, cafe and atmosphere!! The facility is always so clean and it has everything you need! Have you checked out there Lifespa?! It's awesome too! Facial? Check! Hair cut/color? Check! Nails? Check! read more

During the 1st group fitness class after the gym opened Brooks the groups fitness manager humiliated a person for asking for lighter weights. I get it everything has to be set up and you can't touch what's not on your mat but giving an older gym customer 15 18 and 20 pound weights is crazy, give the lady the 5 she asked for. When Brooks was questioned about why some had heavier weights she said that's the decision she made. When asked how she Brooks would let members know she said the same thing that's the decision I made. RUDE rude rude the poor woman finished the class but Brooks humiliate her. The trainer who was leading the class was so uncomfortable and she said the woman looked frustrated well yeah but at least the gym client was graceful. read more

We went there for the first time yesterday. We left our 19 month old in the care of the individuals at the day care. When I went to get him, I noticed he was bit. When I asked what happened and why they didn't call me, the girls response was, "I don't know. I didn't see." Does this mean you also did not care for him? Does this mean you did not offer him and ice pack or clean the bite? Does this mean you did not console him after the incident? No one had an answer for me. No one said anything. I felt like I was brushed off. There was no incident reporting. We aren't upset he got bit. Kids are kids and things happen. However, we are beyond disappointed and find it extremely disturbing that they could not tell us what happened and they did not call after the incident. Parents please be aware of this! read more

This yelp review is because LIFETIME FITNESS I am very disappointed with their service and making people pay for services when people are not coming into work the reason for this zero rating. read more

Definitely a family friendly gym with a ton of amenities! The pool feels like we are at a resort and multiple lifeguards all around. We just joined but from the first impression I think our family is going to love it! I have noticed from the past week that the customer service is above and beyond from the warm greetings when you are checked in to the causal pass by in the hallway by staff we are always acknowledged. Also the members are friendly! I have taken a few classes and the members are more than happy to help and answer questions. You can tell the overall vibe in the gym is happy from staff to members. read more

Awesome facility. So clean and well managed. Equipment is typically not too overcrowded at their peak times. I can usually hop on the machine I'm looking for at any given time. I was hesitant at first but you get so much bang for your buck here in terms of value. My favorite is the steam room with eucalyptus. So refreshing! They're constantly stocking towels, cleaning and offering help to their members. This gym is worth it. Trust me. Special shout out to my account manager JJ who kinda has bad breath but was a tremendous help in making my decision incredibly effortless. In fact, a few of their staff members actually recognized me, amongst hundreds of members, for coming in consistently since I signed up... I didn't even realize they were paying attention! That's customer service. read more

Great gym. I enjoy going there but the prices for the Membership needs to go down. This gym likes in increase there rate every couple years because of upgrades done to the club and do to that, your membership rate will go up automatically and everyone has to pay for the new price. read more

***UPDATE*** After my review I was contacted by a very nice gentelman and agreed to tour for a visit since they were offering a free month of swim lessons for the kids (which I happened to be shopping as well). I went in and toured the beautiful facility with Kam, who did and excellent job, and I signed up and have been going pretty regularly for a little over a month and am really enjoying it. I was dissappointed that the kids swim lesson is only for a half hour (I assumed it would be for an hour) and that I've not seen the water slides in working order a single time that I've been there. But other than that it's a nice place. Even after reading all the horrible reviews, since we're moving to the area and in search of a new gym that offers childcare and swim lessons, I thought, "what the heck, I'll be the judge.. let's give them a go!" ... so I sent an inquiry. I gave them 1 star for the quick response, because Ms. Dakota, the sales rep I presume, had to have had the WORSE customer service that I very well may have EVER encountered!! We won't even be touring that place if that's the type of people that they employ.. good luck with that! read more

Been a member at Lifetime for years, however I will be finding alternatives for my daily workouts now. Literally half the gym is "reserved" around the clock for classes. All of the good equipment is reserved for classes. I've been using the same treadmill at the same time daily for over a year. Today I was interrupted and told to move because one of the 3 people a class, in an area of 30 treadmills was embarrassed other people could look at them. I told them that I would be happy to use another machine in the future but I was going to finish my workout. They told me that if I didn't move that they would call the cops and trespass me, so I decided it's time to find another gym. You have a massive area with 10% occupancy at 0500 and no one else can use any of the equipment. If you are a member your only option is to work out on the legacy cardio equipment, weight lifting area only has one of each (very limited selection) machine. Even at 0500 you're waiting for weight lifting equipment because they installed 20 squat racks for classes. If you are going to lifetime for classes, great. But if you just want to workout, find somewhere else! read more

I love going to Lifetime Fitness. We keep the gym clean and all the staff is friendly. The only downside is there a bit pricey but they offer a lot of amenities and are well worth the value. read more

What a great experience. Kari, the manager, runs a great club. Joe and his staff in the Aquatics Center really know what they are doing. I highly recommend this club!! read more

I was in town visiting family for a few days so I bought a 7-day guest pass for $50 (kinda steep but it's $20 for a one-day guest pass so if you go three times, it's a better value than the day pass). You do have to check in every time you visit with the guest pass, which can take a few minutes if the front desk is busy. There is a large parking lot so I don't anticipate parking ever is an issue. The gym is really open and has a very large selection of cardio equipment (much of which seems fairly new). The weight area is also decent with a wide variety of weight machines although they could use a larger dumbbell area. It was consistently crowded during my visits. I saw all body types, ages, genders, and ethnic backgrounds so it wasn't intimidating in the way that many upscale gyms can be. I wouldn't hesitate to return when I'm back in town. read more

Front desk person was really rude. Gym has been under construction for way too long and delays after delays. This place needs to figure it out and treat members better!!! read more

Here is a gym solely about money money and more money. You sign up and pay up the ass for the membership just to be pushed constantly to join classes or personal training for their profit on a daily basis. Good luck finding anything to work out on or with, as equipment is constantly taken and the gym is always full. Also no childcare for infants between 12-4pm. you are shit out of luck. Oh but you will be paying a lot for that too. And let me explain that when you do cancel because you're sick of the pushy sales, crowd, and b.s you will also be charged an extra 30 days. I thought I would let you know because they won't. They sell it to be a magical wonderland and they all fart rainbows so what do I know. read more

I called to inquire about signing up for a family membership, requesting they wave the service fee. I am sure a supervisor could have approved if the sales person asked due to the circumstance. Instead of trying to sell us on the value of the gym and easily sign up some new customers, he was rude/dismissive. It didn't make me feel very good. We will take the money we would have spent on monthly services, training, and the cafe to another gym who won't treat us like a number. read more

So I've been going to the 530 am cycling class this this week due to the change in my work schedule. While I love the energy in the class, I don't appreciate the landscape guy blowing all the debris onto my vehicle! I park fairly close in the morning since it's dark because of safety. Thanks buddy! read more

Thanks to all the staff for keeping the fitness facility clean during these times, I know not every member says it but Thank you.

This has been and continues to be an amazing club. They weren't forcing people to work out during Covid and communicated several times that they would allow anyone who was uncomfortable to pause their dues. I worked out a couple times before they shut down again and they had every other machine closed off in their enormous floor and social distancing was not a problem at all. read more

I joined lifetime about a month ago. The staff is led by Kari who is the General manager and she is amazing. Kari has an open door policy for her members and the staff follows suit. I took my first yoga class and Michael one of the trainers walked me right to the room he explained where my stuff goes where I can find the mat he was very helpful. The instructor Alex was a calming spirit. @ Lifetime it's a one stop shop a cafe, a salon 3 pools 2 full size basketball courts, sauna and a steam and so much more. I forgot a place for your kids as well. Aaron is the person that signed me up. Ask for him. read more

This gym has it all! The luxurious atmosphere and hardcore equipment create a dichotomous, invigorating experience that makes you want to work out. All of the amenities such as the pools (both indoor & outdoor), water slides (both indoor & outdoor), sauna, steam room, basketball courts, racket ball courts, multiple classrooms, & climbing wall are all included with membership. I HIGHLY recommend the hot Vinyasa yoga class with Jason...best class I've ever taken! read more

Life Time - Fun children's party happening in gym complete with bouncy castle! - Gyms Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

You'll definitely feel the difference friendly environment. I've yet to try the rest of the clubs in town.

I really like the gym although I believe it is one of the more expensive ones around. I love that they have a salon and spa on site. I have not taken any c classes because of my schedule. I usually workout in the evenings. Today I worked out during the day. It was pretty busy today and the weights I needed were in use so I had to change up my routine a bit. I will go back to nights but I wanted to get in a pedicure after my workout. read more

Big gym, fairly clean with good staff. My one complaint is that when you join a big gym, you are just a number. The new Yoga schedule sucks!! Why build a Yoga studio but limit classes? Why not offer Vinyasa Yoga classes where parents with kids can attend regularly not just once a week. Example: all vinyasa is before 0900 except for the Wednesday class even on the weekend, which means you CANNOT practice a Vinyasa Yoga routine at this studio between 9a-5p 295days/year. Hope this puts my small gripe into perspective. Poor poor planning and no regard for members needs!! read more

This Lifetime claims to have a seven day period where if you don't like the club, you can cancel for a full refund. That's not entirely true. After one visit and a terrible experience at the Kids Club area where they allowed bullying to happen, we knew this wasn't the place for our family. On 6/13 (the last day to cancel), my wife called the salesperson who signed her up, Chad, and let him know she wanted to cancel. No further request was made of her, so she presumed it was cancelled. We had been watching for the refund to hit the account and today we noticed ANOTHER CHARGE posted to our account. THEY CHARGED US AGAIN FOR THE CANCELLED MEMBERSHIP! My wife called and spoke with Chad who told her it was not cancelled because she needed to sign a cancellation request (but he never told her that his was required). Chad said he was going to research it and call her back. He called her back and told her that they would not refund the original payment taken, just the most recent one. They had an opportunity to do the ethical thing and chose not to. DON'T TRUST THESE PEOPLE AS FAR AS YOU CAN THROW THEM. Update: after several weeks and multiple calls, they refunded us. read more

I like Life Time in general, but am very disappointed in this location. I live right up the street and one of my deciding factors was that I would be living close to Life Time Gilbert. Once the season started to change, I became unable to swim in the outdoor lap pool. They say it is heated- at 75 degrees. That's way too cold and my toes go numb. Very recently the indoor pool has been under renovations. Prior to that though, the times I swam in the indoor lap pool it was way too cold as well-probably around 75 degrees. I gave it a few tries and could not tolerate it. So essentially there are no options to swim laps at this location. I drive the 50 minute round trip to the Tempe location when I want to swim laps. I drive past the Gilbert location on my way to Tempe to swim laps, and to be honest, it is very frustrating. Tempe keeps both their indoor pool and outdoor pool set at 80 degrees and is very comfortable for swimming laps, however I am not sure how much longer I can keep this up. It is a bit far from Gilbert and doesn't make much sense to drive all that way. I am looking into membership options at EoS, and may rejoin in the summer months when I can get use out Life Time Gilbert's outdoor pool. 75 degrees is way too cold!! If Life Time Gilbert ran their aquatic facilities like the Tempe location does I would give them 5 stars. I can't because this has been such a disappointment. read more

We've enjoyed this gym but need to cancel due to several reasons and they require you to VISIT or MAIL a letter. This is absolutely ridiculous in this day in age to require someone to MAIL a letter. Plus if it was convenient to visit, I likely wouldn't be canceling anyways. I guess making this process ridiculously complicated is another tactic to try and prevent efficiencies, with the aim to collect more money. I was planning to re-sign back up at some point, but not anymore. Just wow - not customer service friendly at all! read more
