There's a lot to say about LifeTime and the company, but I'd rather let the gym sell itself....alongside its incomparable staff, equipment and amenities.
First things first; you are getting exactly what you pay for. There's definitely a sense of sticker-shock when going to join this gym, but you can view it one of two ways; you're paying for an investment in your own health and/or you're paying for the ability to workout in an atmosphere that is is priced at the appropriate point where you are not battling people for equipment, even at peak-hours! When you truly think about it, if everyone had access to something, would it make said-item or service exclusive or customary? This club prides itself on exclusivity, but not in a pretentious way, but rather a "we see you, we hear you and we think we have found a way to solve some of the issues you've faced at other gyms."
Now that we've discussed the price, let's simply talk about the people; these are some of the most knowledgeable, attentive trainers, employees, receptionists and management that you will find. It's weird to think about it as such, mainly because this is a gym after all, but when you constantly see the same staff on a daily basis, it's nice to revere them as friends. Trainers are there to HELP, and they are also there to leave you alone if you don't wish to be bothered. You don't feel the pressure or awkwardness of trainers approaching you at other gyms....you know, the gyms that try to sell you on things you don't actually want or need.
We've had the pleasure of knowing the GM at this club, Mike Esposito, for roughly six years now, and having watched his career grow with the company, I can assure you that any and all questions, concerns and compliments will be handled in a timely and beyond-satisfactory manner. Mike comes from the personal-training world, and you can really tell that as he was staffing, designing the aesthetic of the club and cultivating the culture of the club, he really took the time to make sure everyone felt seen and heard. From the cleaning staff to the engineers that keep the building literally functioning, all the way to the café staff and locker room attendants, you feel the thought and care that went into staffing this gorgeous gym. Truly and genuinely some of the most respectful employees you will ever meet in a gym.
This is a gym where you will not feel uncomfortable working out. This is a gym where you will be happy you chose to invest in yourself. This is a gym where you will actually find working out fun again!
There are plenty of LifeTime's to choose in the valley, let alone gyms, but if you are willing to make the investment in yourself and a gym membership, this gym is highly recommended! Awesome location! Unique building with unparalleled views of Camelback! Phenomenal staff that is willing to help! You couldn't ask for more of a, yes, gym!
If you want a respectful, unique environment to workout, this is the gym for you! read more
