    Trash in the parking lot
    Dustin R.

    Title: Neglected in Mismanaged I've been a member of Lifetime Gym in San Antonio, specifically the 281 location, for the last year and I have to say, it's been a disappointing experience. The gym is supposed to be a luxury health club, but it feels more like a neglected, mismanaged facility that's past its prime--a decaying carcass left to rot under the Texas sun, festering with neglect, health hazards, and a complete disregard for basic upkeep. First off, the maintenance is absolutely deplorable. The sauna door handle is missing, which is not only inconvenient but also a safety hazard. I've attached a picture to show just how bad it is--a jagged, broken piece of plastic and duct tape that looks like it belongs in an abandoned building, not a supposed luxury gym. It's been weeks, and nothing has been done to fix it. Speaking of cleanliness, the locker rooms often have a musty smell, and the showers aren't always clean. There have been times when I've found hair and used towels, shavers and other unsanitary things in the showers. It's gross and shows a complete lack of attention to detail. The real health hazard, however, is in the indoor pool area. I've attached a photo showing the ceiling above the indoor pools, where there's visible mold growing on the pipes. The pipes are covered in dark, splotchy growth, a clear sign of mold that's been left unchecked. This isn't just an eyesore--it's a serious health risk. Mold can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems, especially in a humid environment like an indoor pool where people are breathing heavily. For a gym that claims to promote health and wellness, allowing mold to grow in such a critical area is beyond unacceptable. It's as if they're inviting illness to fester alongside their crumbling infrastructure. The outdoor pool area, which should be a highlight, is another testament to their neglect. I've attached a photo showing the outdoor pool area, where the pole furniture--those umbrella stands and chairs meant to provide shade and comfort--hasn't even been set up. We're talking about a gym in San Antonio, where we get 90° days as early as February! Spring Break came and went, and now it's April, and they still haven't set up the pool chairs. The photo shows stacks of chairs just sitting there, unused, while the concrete deck bakes in the sun. Members are left to fend for themselves with place to tan or proper seating, which is unacceptable for a gym that charges such a premium. It's as if they don't care about our comfort or the fact that we're paying for a resort-like experience. Even the parking lot is a mess, reflecting the same level of neglect that permeates the entire facility. I've attached a photo showing the parking lot covered in litter--paper, wrappers, and other debris scattered across the pavement, with oil stains adding to the grime. It's the first thing you see when you arrive, and it sets the tone for the entire experience. If they can't even be bothered to keep the parking lot clean, how can we trust them to maintain the gym itself? It's a disgrace, especially for a place that markets itself as a luxury health club. Don't even get me started on the prices. Membership costs a pretty penny, starting at $199 per month and climbing higher for families. For that kind of money, the amenities should be impeccable, but they don't match up. The pool area is okay when it's functional but Add to that the fact that they can't even be bothered to set up the pool furniture in time for the warm season, and it's clear they're cutting corners everywhere. It's like they're taking our money and letting the facility fall apart, piece by piece. Comparing this gym to a dead carcass is, frankly, too kind. A dead carcass was once full of life and vitality, but now it's decaying and neglected, its bones picked clean by vultures of mismanagement. Similarly, this gym might have been great when it first opened, but now it's falling apart, and the management isn't doing anything to revive it. The missing sauna handle, the unassembled pool furniture, the smelly locker rooms, the mold growing on the pipes, and the litter-strewn parking lot--it's all just left to rot, while they keep charging exorbitant membership fees. It's a hollow shell of what it could be, a festering reminder of broken promises, with mold spreading like a disease and litter piling up like carrion around its decaying remains. In conclusion, if you're thinking about joining Lifetime Gym in San Antonio 281, think again. You're better off finding a gym that actually cares about its members, maintains its facilities properly, and doesn't put your health at risk with mold, neglect, and a filthy environment. This place is a waste of money and time, a decaying relic that doesn't deserve your hard-earned dollars.

    Been a member for over 15 years and pay over 300 a month for a family of 3... yet I still see stuff like this on the regular. How hard is it to keep track of keeping a sanitizer station full, especially when it's see through so everyone and their mama know when it's low. Shaking my head.

    I noticed this location had several bad reviews regarding the customer service and I have to 100% disagree. Everyone I encountered was exceptionally nice and very friendly. Hector was very nice at the lifetime café while he made my mocha madness shake. Maximo took my phone call over the phone and said sure I could stop in even though I was from Houston. Jennifer was equally nice and friendly when I walked in. So I am not sure why this location is getting, bad reviews for customer service because I experience great customer service here. Maybe the people doing the one star reviews come from planet fitness. lol

    Stunning facility. Employees were friendly, all tried their best to answer questions. All the amenities you could ask for, but $99+ a month is not quite worth it. Or it might be, for you?

    Tried to call here 8 times. No answer. The YMCA first shot.

    I was looking for a family membership so I called the YMCA on Thousand Oaks and they were friendly and answered right away. Tried calling here and no one in any department answered. No wonder they have a low review status. If they will nor answer how can you book or cancel classes. Schedule child care or join. Ridiculous I also expect a generic apology like the rest. Don't fix it SMH.

    Have been a member for years back in CO and once I moved here, I was actually surprised by all the add ons and upgrades that came with this location and outside pool is open 365 days a year for adults (welcome to TX). Their group fitness coaches are incredible. Love Breanne, Sam, Ernest,and Nick. They take cleanliness to a whole new level and it's very very impressive. Also the upgrade to the outside pool is a DREAM. Every time I've visited the cleaning was an on going process at various places. Yes, I did spot a cockroach once in almost a year of nearly daily visits, and it was taken care of immediately. Please, let's not forget where we all live, in a climate where any insect can thrive and I certainly would not consider this location gross or infested by any stretch of imagination. Kid activities and day care is what I can brag about for days. They know my child by name, he is there at most 3-4 times a month during school year. I actually appreciate their effort at enforcing rules and open communication with parents. Life cafe is truly delicious and conveniently has all macros broken down for you! Can't wait for the season with kids to begin!

If you only have a small budget for yoga, talk to Randy about getting a card for one of her or David's classes to save some money. I have gone to a few yoga classes at other places before I came to the SA Yoga Center and I can say I'm never going anywhere else. Even when your schedule is inconsistent, they will still give you tips to practice at home or while traveling. When you return, they will welcome you with open arms. The teachers are easy to talk with before and after class. They will help and encourage you along the way too. If you're new they're attentive to your needs. If you've practiced for a long time, they'll try to deepen your practice. I love what they do here. The best part is you can create your own experience here. There is a teacher or specific class that will meet your needs. Pick a class or a specific teacher and go to a class. Your body will appreciate the time too. If you're nervous, bring a friend. Super fun way to bond with people. I usually bring a friend almost every time.

There are different class types for all levels and the teachers are so kind, professional, and helpful. The studio and the surrounding grounds are so peaceful, well-kept and relaxing. The whole atmosphere will put you at ease. I always leave class (any class, from any teacher) and I feel calmer, healthier and relaxed.
