    Rainforest açaí bowl from the Life cafe
    Sadie K.

    Spectacular service. Super clean amenities. Awesome food and smoothies in the cafe. I do think it's a bit overpriced for the membership. It could stand to be $199 again. But you are definitely paying for the staff and service. Which is 5 stars. The reason I can't give it five stars altogether is because of the price and how crowded it is. They have instituted a waitlist, so that helps. But parking is not great. Classes are great though! O really recommend them. Wishing they would open a location either in Clayton or CWE which will be closer to me in the city/downtown area!

    54% of squat racks unavailable to members

    I joined Life Time shortly after COVID, over three years ago. The building plan is spectacular. I've visited other Life Time locations when I traveled for business and this location is among their best. But in January 2024 things began to decline. Of course, every gym gets busier in January. NYE's resolutions, winter forcing us inside all add to a more crowed gym. After twenty years of experience in gyms I know how to schedule my visits accordingly. And most members willingly allow each other to "work in" to facilitate more efficient use of the equipment. I certainly do. But this spring things did not improve. As it turns out, LT oversold the gym. They aren't the first business to try to maximize their revenue, but the epic fail is surprising as LT has every member scan in and has great metrics to predict capacity, barring a use pattern significantly different from historical usage. All gyms strive to encourage members and staff to return equipment to its proper place, wiped down, after each use. But this becomes more difficult with overcrowding. By April 2024, this location was a wreck. In all my years as a gym rat, in gyms across the country, this LT location was out of control. It felt that I was spending more time walking the gym looking for equipment than actually working out. Anecdotally, the training staff seemed to be a big part of the problem. To make matters worse, the two class sections on the floor and all the equipment in those areas, were off limits to members. These sections contain 54% of squat racks, 80% of kettle bells, 40% of dumbbells, all the steppe benches, and so on. I suggested to management that they consider asking class leaders to accommodate other members and allow working in, particularly when the class is not using the equipment. The picture attached is of the squat racks, seven of which are empty but cannot be used because they are in the Alpha area. Of the six that were available to members, two were used by off-duty trainers for the entire hour. I was fourth in line, but ended up waiting 45 minutes for a rack to open up. I emailed the general manager, who forwarded it to the "concierge manager" who forwarded to the "group training manager". She responded that when a class is in session, no matter the number of participants (even just 1), members cannot enter the area to use the equipment. Kindergarteners share better. Neither the GM or the concierge manager, both of whom know me (I would hope so after over three years) ever reached out to ask if my concerns were answered. Then again, they rarely leave their offices. Sadly, an excellent facility has become virtually unusable. The over all culture now is inward looking, ignoring member experience. In the end, I'm a gym rat. The other features of LT, Recovery Room, Cafe, Classes are nice, but if it takes over two hours for a ninety minutes workout due to poor capacity planning and management makes no accommodation for members it's just not with the $3000 per year. I loved this place, but I'm reminded that it's foolish to love things that won't love you back. And no surprise, they never credited back the pro-rate of the member fee.

    I love my gym, I'm always there :)) from the equipment to amenities, can't ask for more. I had the best massage today too. Btw, non members can get spa services too!

    Pickle ball!!

    So far I love the gym. There are a lot of choices on how you want to work out. Tons of classes to sign up for, tons of machines, areas to stretch and work on your core, pickle ball, a hoops court. You can also get a haircut here and spa treatments. Indoor/outdoor pool, a sauna, hydromassage area. They have these massage guns to pinpoint areas of pain or discomfort. Pilates, yoga, a coffee club, bingo, smoothie/bourbon tastings. Childcare while you workout. They offer a lot. The pool has a kiddie area, cold plunge lanes and warmer lap lanes. I have never been in a gym like this and would have never gone in had my stylist not changed jobs and landed here. Everyone very, very nice. My trainer Rick is amazing and really helping me learn how to stay fit. It is very clean and well run. Great place!!!

    Update: they now allow non members to book online so that's an improvement. Significantly easier to make spa and salon appointments now!

    Life Time's recent handling of my membership upgrade request blatantly contravened their own Guest and Club Policy. I have a Signature 2 membership and despite explicitly stating under "Membership changes and Information" that authorized members can make changes, including upgrades, they forced me into an unreasonable corner: cancel my existing membership and reapply. This, after I had already paid for a full month, with no offer of a refund. Their inflexible approach, deviating from their stated policy, felt not only unfair but also dismissive of my membership rights. This experience was deeply frustrating and undermined my trust in their system. I have been a lifetime member for over 7 years, and had to cancel because I am currently in school. The fact that I had to drive home instead of coming to a resolution is disturbing. San antonio's lifetime is also quite frankly much nicer, yet I am denied access here after days of being told that everything is all good for days prior. Lifetime is breaching their contractual agreement with me.

    Retail skin care available

    Life Time athletic club is more like a five-star hotel and resort than a gym. The facility is brand new it just opened December 14th and every inch of it is spectacular. When you first enter the two story space there is a huge café with everything that you could want. They have a big grab and go section including fresh fruits, salads, even entrées they can heat up for you. There is a coffee bar and soon to be wine bar. Right next to that is the Life Time Spa. There is a beautiful private pedicure room that seats two. Perfect for time with your BFF. Behind The spa door is a beautiful lounge area for the facialist and masseuses. It looks like something you'd see in a four seasons or Ritz Carlton with soft lighting candles and beautiful furnishings. When you have a service there you get a warm towel for your hands and face and you're always offered a cup of cold or warm tea. It is truly the most inviting space. The aesthetician Lisa does Hydrafacials, classic facials, waxing, and lash and brow tinting. She can also recommend for you a daily skin care regimen. She was also willing to incorporate any products that I was currently using and suggest some new ones. She is truly an expert with over 20 years of experience in skin care. She recently moved here from Los Angeles. The best part is you don't have to be a member to go to the spa or the café. It's open to the public. I recommend calling for an appointment there are times especially on Saturday when it's busy. Friday night is a good night at the spa. When you go to the spa for a service it includes 2 1/2 hours of free childcare and you also have access to the entire club for the day. It's truly incredible!!

    Best way to end the day!!!!

Don't believe all the 5-star reviews, they solicit these with give-aways and raffles. Notice many of the reviews are from accounts that rarely ever review (especially on Google). Exploitative Membership Terms: If you want to buy more than a drop in class, PLNK puts you on auto renew / bill when you sign up, then restricts your ability to cancel in advance of the next billing cycle (must request in email 10 days in advance of the billing date).This keeps you locked in. Additionally, they heavily restrict the booking window on their passes. Classes are always booked out two weeks in advance. So, you're stuck with class passes you can't use, which then expire. This has happened to me on numerous occasions and at $30-35/class this really hurts. Excessive Penalties: They also penalize you with an extra $20 fee in addition to the $35 class fee you if you don't show up, and $15 fee if you cancel within 24 hours. They then take your space and give it to someone on the waitlist. If that person isn't there in person to take your spot when you no-show or last minute cancel, they are also charged a no-show fee. This is how they turn a $35 seat in their class into a $90+ seat. Negligent / Hostile Management: You aren't allowed to speak or interact with management -- they cite personal safety concerns (??) -- and instead put all the responsibility for dealing with guest complaints to their front desk staff who are unpaid interns. If you do manage to reach management via their anonymously maintained studio email addresses, they will gaslight you and and threaten you with being banned from the studio. I had this experience first hand and their harassment continued after I cancelled my membership and left the studio. Poor Quality Instruction / Injury Risk Finally, the quality of the instruction in low with teachers turning over really quickly and minimal training. Many teachers either are unable to or were not trained to describe the physiology of the movements, instead relying on branded names for each, and assuming you know it. When you look around the studio you always see many people looking confused and looking at each other for guidance. The risk of injury is high here.

However, my body was not prepared for the intensity of the workouts. The treadmill running was particularly tough on an old foot injury. The instructors absolutely offered modifications to ease my foot woes, but my competitive nature didn't want to participate if I couldn't go all out. Fast forward 2 years later, I'm in much better shape physically and I decided to give it another go. The biggest challenge for me this time wasn't the workout itself, but rather to acknowledge my own limitations, resist my competitive nature, & heed alternatives to running - like walking on an incline OR using the strider. I enjoyed Orangetheory so much more this go-around, it's truly a great full body workout. I personally love the built-in variety, since you will always rotate between rowing, strength and treadmill work. If your goal is to maximize your one-hour at the gym, enjoy a mix of cardio & strength training, and burn a ton of calories, Orangetheory will deliver results.
