I had to leave this gym, because like many other reviewers have noted, there are kids EVERYWHERE. They are unsupervised, disrespectful to the equipment, instructors, and the gym itself. They run, scream, leave garbage around, etc. On more than one occasion, teens in my spin class had to be asked to stop talking and to turn their phones to silent. It's clear that the gym has no interest in creating a decent environment for people actually exercising. This place has become like the mall, where parents drop their kids off to hang out. I have no problem if the teens are actually there to be active, but they're not. Lifetime, no one wants to pay $150/mo to deal with teens giggling through yoga class. read more

I've been going to this club for over 5 years now and things have really been going downhill. We'll start with the workout floor. You have to usually wait during the busy time for a machine because the young adults are to busy watching Tik Tok in between sets and take forever to finish. Now to the hot tubs. I've been there multiple times where someone forgot their bathing suit and thought it was perfectly okay to wear their underwear in the tub. Now to the mens locker room. I used to look forward to my shower after a workout but now I don't. The shampoo, shower and conditioner (if there is even any in the container) has used to be great but now it seems like they are using some cheap stuff out of a 5 gallon pail. And the floors outside of the shower is always slimy. Over by the lockers you need to stop the old guys from blowdrying their balls. One foot up on the counter and everything!!! And that is probably why the counters are always filthy. Maybe whomever is cleaning can move the bottles too when they clean them!!! For the amount of money we pay its unacceptable....Hope things get better.... read more

Unfortunately I wasted my time going to this gym... my LA fitness membership was expiring and so was my boyfriends. We both work till 9pm and needed a gym that was open late so we show up at 10pm to purchase 2 memberships and try the gym, the guy George at the counter basically told us we would not be allowed to check out the gym or buy a membership because it was too late meanwhile it was 10pm and they close at midnight. When I asked if I could at least use the bathroom since we came all the way here he said no. Talk about customer service. What's the point of staying open late if you can't accommodate customers during those hours. read more

Upscale Gym just opened in Syosset/Jericho/Plainview. Has almost everything one can ask for in a gym read more

See all

Absolute worst gym on Long Island. Over priced, crowded, never any room in classes, and just all around disgusting. Bathrooms are gross, towels are always disgusting. Horrible. If I could give 0 stars I would. Save your money and go to a place where you won't have to fight just to get up the stairs to the gym area. Not to mention the staff is unfriendly and completely useless. read more

First impressions are everything. Before I begin, I'm not a member. I went online to get details of the gym. Number 1. No prices on the website. If there are no prices, I'm not interested. I feel like it is a secret and everyone gets different prices. Sorry of like work. Everyone's salaries are kept secret. Number 2. I hesitated to do it, but I sent an inquiry on the website for them to email me a list of the prices. I gave a real fake phone number (516-000-0000) and in the body of the message I said do not call, please email only. Next thing you know an Alex says he tried to call but could not get through and wanted me to call. Alex apparently cannot read English otherwise he would know I asked for email communication only. Number 3. After that email, he keeps emailing me to check in with him. Each day. Listen Alex, if I'm interested, don't you think I would reply it come down. I understand you probably work off commission. But damn. This company seems way too money hungry for me. And now after reading the other reviews, I don't think I'll join this gym. read more

Went on a Sunday for a free trial and played Pickleball. Very crowded and very noisy. Kids were playing basketball much too close to our court. Kids were being marched thru the gym interrupting our games. The court surface itself is just fair. It's much too overwhelming and pricey. I can swim and use weights at the Y for much less. Experience .... eh read more

Assume way to spend New Year's Day. Massage with Heidi, a taste of chocolate banana shake, jacuzzi soak. Amazing! read more

Gym equipment is current and I can always get a machine. My only negative is that I wish the air worked a bit better. Kids club is great, my kiddos love the teachers and always have positive things to say! Outdoor pool is great for the summer months, we especially love the food service and the option of getting a cocktail! Over all, resort style feel that we love! read more

Really wish I could give ZERO stars. Ana from member services needs to find a new line of work. Rude rude rude! I honestly love the club itself (equipment and amenities), but most of the downstairs staff have attitudes. Mark who first signed me up was so sweet and I hope the awfulness of his co-workers doesn't rub off on him. read more

I canceled my personal training section and asked my money back a month ago. I spoke several times with manager. Evetime I asked for it, they told me it'll be refund within 2-3days. It's been a month. Guess what!! NOTHING WOULD BE HAPPEN. I still didn't get my money back. read more

Huge gym,open 24/7.As soon as you walk in it's spotless.Nice variety of equipment and plenty of cardio machines. Great classes,I love the cycle classes.Staff all very warm,welcoming and friendly.Plenty of parking. read more

Great gym with super friendly staff. Front desk girls are the best! So many free classes included in the membership that makes it worth paying a little bit more than a regular gym! read more

First to start off this place is overpriced and isn't even as good as it says it is there is always a problem with sign in either a guest pass or just a dumb problem that just isn't worth the time, effort, and money first few months aren't as bad but up to 2-4 months you will see how overpriced everything is money hungry people! read more

I am on a one week trial at the syosset location. I am not a gym person but have worked out my whole life. I had a lot of preconceived notions about a large gym like this but I must say all of that changed this week. The staff is exceptional, friendly and helpful. The instructors are outstanding and make someone like me who's new feel welcome. The other members are courteous and nice as well. The classes are packed but that shows that the gym is busy and people are happy to be there. The cafe is nice and the salon is great. I got a wonderful blowout from Stephanie, she was sweet and personable and extremely talented. read more

This is the gold standard of gyms, basically a country club. The second floor is all weight training equipment along with cardio machines. They also have 3 rooms for exercise classes along with a large yoga studio. 1st floor features a full service spa, basketball courts, and a kickboxing studio. Indoor and outdoor pools are available with saunas and hot tubs. More expensive than most gyms but well worth it! read more

Just joined. Equipment is good. Too many kids running around in out of steam room, and sauna letting the hot air out. These areas should be adult only. Also, I'm paying so much and simple things like the water fountain and TVs on ellipticals are broken... not sure if this is worth the money. Water fountains are disgusting read more

Life Time - Gyms Near Me - Syosset, New York

The sales people are completely misleading stating that if you are on medicare and AARP INS then they reimburse you 50%.. Sure if you have a 300/mo policy specific they avoided answering any detailed info requested read more

Great all around gym. Very clean and state of the art equipment. Locker rooms super clean. The staff is very helpful.

My family goes to the gym religiously but expect for me since I couldn't find a location I desire until I was convinced to check out Lifetime. The place is like a maze with everything you'd ever need. EVER. From spas to physical therapy to hairsprays in the locker room. They've got it all. For the price yeah it's not for everyone but you get the most amazing equipments and play area for kids! My brother loves the rock climbing area & my mother enjoys most of her time at the outdoor pool as well both of the saunas at the location. Overall, it's a great gym if you're going with friends or family. Almost like a perfect weekend hangout spot. Everyone here are super friendly and helpful. The environment as well as the people who attend this gym are super respectful unlike certain areas. I mean, you get what you pay for! I highly recommend it! read more

RUN, DON"T WALK away from this club!!! I was a member at the LifeTime Fitness in Florham Park, NJ and Montvale, NJ since 2008 and recently joined Syosset when I moved to the area. I love the LTF brand, but was EXTREMELY disappointed in this branch. It lacks the prestige, professionalism and mission I have come to expect from the LTF brand...heck it doesn't even meet my basic NYSC or YMCA expectations from a staff perspective. They misguided me in my membership, had a locker break that resulted in my shoes being stolen, erroneously charged my credit card and the swim lessons were a joke. Even the departments that I spoke to about the various issues, when they attempted to "make it right" they just ended up messing up the make good....NOT good LTF Syosset, NOT GOOD. read more

Both locations are great. Have been a member since 2011. Great classes. The kid center is clean and not crowded. The life spa is excellent

Left my bathing suit and 3 year old's swim trunks in one of the showers. Went back to get them and they were gone. Called back a few times to see if anyone turned them in. No luck. Seriously, who steals children's clothes? read more

Place is over run with kids. Machines are not designed well. If you're serious about working out, don't bother. Like most gyms nowadays - over reliance on sectorized machines and not enough free weight. People want easy... and they wonder why they're not getting results! Chain gyms suffer from management who don't workout seriously. They have no clue whether as particular machine is good, bad, or effective - they just make it up in volume of machines. Expect to find soccer moms and bratty kids, with a sprinkling of overweight middle aged men who don't know how to diet and excercise effectively. read more

The facility is great. Large variety of equipment and classes. I was very excited for the rock climbing wall, but I've been a member for almost a week and I haven't been able to get on it yet because it's always filled with kids. It's hard to focus when you see middle schoolers "trying" to workout. It's just distracting. Think of this place more of a family resort than gym. It's a shame. The employees are nice and the gym is nice too. I'll probably be canceling my membership next week if I still can't get on the wall. read more

Wouldn't recommend going to this club. My friend who was a member gave them my info when he join so I can try out the club. They harassed me with emails trying to get me into their facility. After finally decided I want to get into better shape before the new year , I decided I wanted to see if lifetime was a good fit for me. I brought my workout partner with me to see if we both wanted to make the switch together. After waiting for the "sales manager " Christian for 10 minutes . My friend nicely went up to the front desk women and ask how much longer . We were then told if you don't want to wait just pay $50 for a day fee. Finally , after 15 minutes Christian comes out prejudging my friend and I saying it's $50 since you guys don't want to join. Such a shame to see such a nice facility being operated like this . didn't even get a chance to see the club. read more

I've been a member at this gym for 8 years (since its opening). Ive been under a family plan that cost roughly $400 a month. Thats $34,000 in those 8 years spent at this gym. My membership was terminated without my knowledge. I was escorted out the gym like I was a security threat. When I called the corporate office I spoke to the head of member relations, her name is Bab. When I spoke to her, she refused to answer questions I had regarding my membership & closed the phone on me. If your looking at joining this gym, dont. They do not value long time customers & continue to raise their prices. I dont usually make yelp reviews, but im writing this to warn anybody thinking about joining. read more

There are many flat screens + Tvs connected to machines. There are two rooms to take classes like Zumba. - There are rooms for yoga and other sorts. -there is a small fee to bring non members. -There is a small room with a flat screen and couches when you enter In general, this is a great gym. read more

In my opinion, this is one of the best fitness centers around. Yes it may be a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Before joining Lifetime, I checked out Equinox in Woodbury and I was very disappointed, since it received so many positive reviews. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable but the facility is small and not clean. Lifetime has everything you need to live a healthy life. Providing the best equipment and a very helpful staff. The locker room is very clean with fresh towels on hand. Most of my workouts are weekdays early morning when it's less crowded but I have gone on the weekend when it's very busy, but never had to wait to use the equipment. The café is very convenient, especially right after a workout when you want to grab something to eat and go. read more

Around two months ago I inquired about this gym. I was only maybe ten percent interested. They have bothered me morning, noon and dinnertimes.They sent me emails and called me around 3 times a week. I told them numerous times to stop. I wouldn't join this gym if they let me in for free. Also the reviews about it being overrun with children doesn't lure me there. Be prepared to be harassed endlessly if you call them. One salesman called and acted like he was a long lost friend before saying who he was. No respect obviously they are desperate for money. Today is a month after the management promised to remove me from their call list. I just got a call again today. People, save your money and inquire about a gym that isn't about harassing. The manager said she "just cares about my wellness needs". What a laughable comment. I have to add it has now been a few months since a manager said they will remove my numbers and stop calling. Well the last two days it started again at 4PM. They truly are dangerous. Today again, months after I talked to a supervisor, they called me again. It just won't stop. read more

Indoor heated pool and outdoor pool. 2 story water slides in the outdoor pool. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and mouthwash all free in all three bathrooms (men, women, and family Baths). Sauna, eucalyptus room, cafe and snack bars were all bonuses. And then there is the rock climbing wall that is the best I've ever seen. Lastly, they have free child care for up to 2 hours. All for $140/mon individual membership or $220/mon for a couple. You'll need to pay a one time fee that varies depending on promotion. If you have the cash it's definitely worth it. The only downside is the lack of machine variety in comparison to the Lake Success La Fitness. But what you don't find in the machines you can substitute with free weights. With everything else Lifetime offers, the lack of machine variety will not lower my 5 stars. It still is the best gym in NY imo. read more

Love this gym! Great for families and has really nice aquatics. Not too keen on the sales pitches, but I screen my calls and avoid them.

You get what you pay for. I've never seen so many squat and bench stations in my life. Extremely clean, one of a kind place and atmosphere. read more

This gym definitely is big. One of the largest gyms in the area, with tons of different equipment to keep you in shape and always moving to better yourself. The amenities are amazing, and it gets better in the summer with gym activities and small get togethers including a wine night. Definitely a gym one would love to be apart of... With that being said, on to the real reason for my review. The main reason for the stars, or lack there of, while the gym is quite large, the people working here make you feel small. Not all employees are bad, but people like sales, and even the general manager are only all about you, until they get your sign up money, then to them, your nothing but peanuts. I signed up under the pretense the gym was 24 hours, even expressed that was one of the main reasons I was signing up, little did I know, the hours had recently changed and they were no longer 24 hour. Sales man said nothing about this. To make things worse, I had originally toured the facility with one sales rep, and the. 2-3 months after I signed up with a different sales rep. Then I get calls from the guy who toured me, asking who signed me up, etc, saying it should have been his sale and he's going to dispute it. So much for professionalism. I guess these guys make commission, and for them to contact me was extremely unprofessional, turn off #2. I emailed the general manager "Ryan" expressing my distaste with that and the recently changed gym hours. One day outside of my 2 week cancellation money back guarantee and GM Ryan advises there's nothing he can do to waive and just cancel my membership since I am too late. $750 dollars later, and only being to the gym once. I cancelled my membership, not even the lightest waive of the last month, even though I expressed I would not be able to come during gym hours. Terrible service. They're only nice and about you until you sign up, then after you do, you're just another tally under their mark. If you must go to a lifetime gym, wait until a new one opens (westbury) and hope they have better people running it. read more

When you hear gym, it's like oh man, this sucks. But this place makes you want to work out. I feel like a spoiled baby here. They have everything from rock climbing to swimming pools, hot tub, sauna, basketball room, steam room, and the lockers are beautiful! They also have a cafe, even a salon! WHAT! This place has the right mind set. It's not about treadmilling it everyday, it should also be fun time. My only complaint are the salespeople. I got it guys, but no need to follow me all the way to the locker room for deals and etc. read more

This is the worst gym I have ever been to in terms of cost and treatment. Employees often give you attitude when you are trying to make your case about something. Your better off choosing L.A fitness. I was with my friends and we got kicked out for wearing athletic shorts in the hot tub. My son had problems when him and his friends tried to go into the hot tub and a lifeguard by the name of john rudely kicked them out of the hot tub for no other reason then their too young. They were above the required age of 12 and older but lifetime fitness tends to single out teenagers so for no reason my son and his friends got kicked out of the hot tub. The employees are rude, obnoxious, and do not know how to treat customers. Combining this with the cost of the gym, lifetime fitness is basically robbing you blind. Please for your sake try L.A fitness before u resort to this mockery of a gym. Edit: my son got kicked out of the gym for going in the hot tub. This is ridiculous. read more

We came in the other day to sign up and look to see if we were interested in a membership. It was the end of August so the sales staff was very busy so we ended up touring with the head manager of the gym, Mike. He seemed very unaware of how to convince us to sign-up and was also very blank on the types of memberships that the company had to offer. He kept saying over his radio "Mike to Anna" or "Mike to Chris" whenever he had a question regarding membership which did not make us feel confident about getting a membership since he was not aware of all the details of the membership we would be signing up for. To say the least it was a very dull leeway into a membership at this company. We would still need more clarification of the details of our membership that I hope we will be able to get as clients. read more

This facility is great and very well maintain Ted every staff member there was helpful especially Chris Dragone! Chris helped me with enrollment at the most affordable rate. All in all I had a great experience and I am so happy to be a member to all locations and amenities. read more

Ok here it goes! First i want to say i read the other reviews and i will elaborate on them... Gym is beautiful! Clean, organized, generally pretty friendly. With that being said lets nit pick a little bit. I must state that my view is slanted as I am a full time mixed martial arts instructor. I have been training for over 20 years and teaching for over 10. I am already in shape, better than most of the trainers but not all. I teach, train and compete in boxing, muay thai, brazilian jiujitsu, and no-gi submission grappling. I tried the free trial and it was obvious to every person i met along the way that i was well above average fitness level. After they told me the price i was not surprised as some may think because i charge my students more than that. What was funny was how the "salesman". (Gym calls them advisors). Automatically defended the prices after he told me, when i never even said anything. "Well it is $139 a month, but....... What you get.... Blah blah blah". I started laughing and told him he did not have to defend it, it is a beautiful facility and operational costs must be astronomical. And he continued with totally, it is just that people hear that number and run... Being that i have been running an mma school for the duration of my 20's, i took that statement along with the appearance of the "salesman" that plain and simple he does not work out at all! I told him that i love it and am just going to tell my wife all the details and then come back to sign up.. Now again i keep saying but i know from experience you are taught in fitness that "be backs". Won't be back! But i knew i would and just wanted to tell her the details first caz lets face it happy wife = happy life Thats when it started! BIG TIME! I told them i would come back the following weekend because i would be out of town... They called me everyday until then leaving messages about how if i dont take the first step to fitness and "commit". I will never get in shape... Ummmm..... Wtf?!.! I am more ripped than you.... Anyway... I came back the next weekend with my info to sign up and told the "salesman" i was taken back by his message as he obviously saw me and i assured the day i would be back... If nothing else at least wait until the day i am supposed to come. Or even the day before.... Regardless of the impersonal insult that just shows he didnt even remember me.... Ok, so now i am signed up and they try to sell me everything through partial free tastes... Fitness tests, training sessions etc.... I expressed firmly, borderline rudely, to never try to sell me anything at all again or i will cancel my membership. Now i try to bring my wife and she loves it. I have a bunch of guest passes for her to come free with before she signed which was cool.. That didn't stop two salesmen from tag teaming her... Twice a day! To the point where i told one of them don't worry she is signing, however, she will be doing it with a different salesman because you are rude and we don't want you to have the commission Now that that is over and we train there about 3-4 days a week, i want to rate some of the instructors i have met... Most are very nice however a few are standoffish. I notice them staring at people a lot... My wife asked me to jump in on a few classes with her to see what i thought of the instructor, class, etc... She is particularly fond of Yves... And i have to say he is a very nice guy and if she smiles and gets results he is cool in my book. Plus i took the class and had fun and got a decent workout too... I saw some of the martial arts instruction and was horrified at what i saw, to the point of nearly offering to help fix it up... I understand they are basing it around getting people to sweat but jesus teach them good technique or don't teach them please. Especially kickboxing; bag work and mitt work... I like the rock climbing wall a lot and the people are helpful and fun.. It is never too crowded as one other person said it was. The free weight area is pretty big, They are rite that there is an over abundance of machines as opposed to free weights but that does not mean free weights are not in abundance. There is plenty. At least 6 free adjustable benches for dumbbell work etc. same with incline, decline and flat bench press areas. I think i counted 3 full squat racks maybe 2 half racks and like 3 smith machines. Plenty of plates to go around and even bumper plates for power lifters and cross fitters to get their olympic lifts on. Although sometimes they are locked up... Kind of annoying, They have a great circuit area with battle ropes, trx suspension, kettle bells, med balls, jump ropes, bands, strong man style logs, etc... Which for mma is the best... All in all ditch the heavy handed sales techniques, and at least two of the salesmen in particular (m and b) and u will be a 5 star facility! read more

I'm not sure why I'm still a member! It must be because there is nothing like it around. That said the members are the laziest people to work out in a gym. Is it to much to put away your weights or clean up your water bottles and towels. I have no clue how people work there I would most likely hit someone over the head! read more
