Have been attending since the grand opening - I honestly think that it is worth the price if a person wants to utilize the amenities and have a nice, clean space to come to. It really is more than just a gym, it's an athletic club. Personally, I spend most of my time in the weight area, and I love that I can come at any time of the day and not worry about waiting for machines or the place being disorderly. Contrary to other reviews, it has all equipment and free weights that anyone could need. read more

I have been working out in gyms for 62 years, and Life Time is the most magnificent gym I have ever seen. The barbell rack displays were unbelievable. The weight rooms looked like a movie set. The locker rooms were the best. Bobby gave us a tour, and Kyler signed us up for the membership. Both individuals were exceptional. read more

who tf is in charge of the thermostat bc why is it always so hot in here. it is insufferable to work out in here when there is no air circulation and the thermostat is set to above 70 degrees on a hot day lol. i have to resort to being that person that carries their own personal fan. we need better air circulation, ventilation, and for the love of god adjust the thermostat on a hot day pls read more

Walnut Creek location. Yesterday I had a $15k Rolex stolen from my locked locker. The staff seemed clueless as to protocol and the manager was not on site and the assistant manager was non responsive Multiple directions on who and how a police report must be filed Were provided by several staff members. I was Informed that there are "wallet lockers" with a camera in front of the spa Today. Not during orientation or any other time. I understand the lockers all have one master key. Very very disappointed in the staff and timeliness. read more

My experience with Life Time has been really good so far. All the employees I've encountered have been nice and informative. Right now I'm addicted to all the yoga class offerings. All the instructors I have encountered are amazing, and the ambiance of the space for the classes I can really appreciate. So far my favorite class has to be SOL followed by Surrender, but I really benefit from warrior sculpt and flow as well. I do wish for more evening classes like floor Pilates or Barre for people like me who can't make classes until after 5pm during the week. I also lift weights and I was disappointed with the variety of weight equipment. Don't get me wrong there is a lot, but I can't really put my finger on why I feel like somethings are missing. All the essentials seem to be here but maybe it's the type or brand of equipment that has me bummed. Style of the leg press? Not a lot of weight benches? Something is missing. I need a few more sessions to maybe figure it out. I can appreciate the various weight sizes offered, especially for me where I tend to get stuck in between too light and too heavy haha. There are tons of squat racks, however there is an Alpha class that will occupy this space during the week in the evenings so may have to work around that at some point. Plenty of nice cardio equipment. Love that there is a heavy weight bag. Also disappointed and wish there was a dedicated turf space you can stretch and do mobility work or even do sleds on. I am actually surprised there isn't a turf area like most gyms these days have. Women's Locker room is nice and clean. Love all the amenities. I really appreciate that the male and female locker rooms have separate sauna, steam room, and whirl pools. The avocado toast at the cafe was bomb, and so was my protein smoothie I had. Overall I continue to look forward to my next visit here. read more

Now 11 months into training with Amir. I am down 60lbs. Well that only took 6 months, but I have been maintaining and building muscle over the last 5 months. My knees are stronger, I'm able to run up and down a flight of stairs. Unbelievable. Amir has been dedicated to seeing me through this transformation and has been extremely encouraging. I love the natural lifestyle approach that he promotes because I'm not just looking for the physique, but overall wellness. read more

I ended up canceling my membership because the locker room situation is so weird. They have a bathing suit requirement policy for the non co-ed men's locker room spa area. I have never been to a gym or spa with similar amenities that have a requirement like this for obvious reasons. It's extremely uncomfortable to wear swim trunks in a steam room or sauna. Aside from this it's created a really gross side effect. Every time I have used the hot tub, several guys get in wearing only their underwear. Naturally no one expects to have to bring a bathing suit so no one plans for it. But I can't help but feeling like I'm now trying to relax in dirty laundry water. Not the relaxing experience I want. It also just feels like covert homophobia to me. read more

I was wondering what to expect with the limited space LifeTime had to work with as compared to the Folsom and Roseville locations. Hearing this club is in the top 12 tier for all LifeTimes in the nation was adding to the anticipation! There is no close LifeTime where I live (Modesto), so I am so thrilled that the layout and design of this location exceeded my expectations. This is worth every penny! As a founding member the staff was very helpful with my onboarding process and helped me out with a request I had made prior to opening. They didn't have to make accommodations as I inquired about, but they were very gracious in exceeding those as well! I did notice the cheerfulness of the concierge staff was there and not at times, but that was opening day in the evening... I imagine there was a lot of unforeseen challenges that had to be overcome, so I trust it will become even more synchronized with the LifeTime culture! If you're on the fence about joining this luxury gym wonder no more! Take action and get a membership! There's something special about having a clean, crisp design and layout to workout in. You'll be glad you treated yourself! read more

I can't recommend Amir highly enough. Over the past 9 months training with him, I've achieved remarkable results that have transformed my body and overall well-being. His expert guidance has helped me lose over 50 lbs, increased my strength and improved my energy levels. His comprehensive approach to both exercise and nutrition has been game-changing for my results. He crafts a personal and detailed nutrition plan, and gives you the tools to improve your lifestyle. I especially appreciate his motivating yet patient and supportive approach. His workouts are challenging and creative. I'm healthier, stronger and more confident thanks to his expertise and dedication. If you're looking for a trainer who delivers real results while also prioritizing sustainable progress, both in the gym and with your overall lifestyle, I highly recommend booking a session with Amir. read more

Great and friendly staff. Dan the Trainor is amazing as well as his boss Jonathan. Lee at the front desk is fantastic. Amenities were pretty nice. But, I did just canceled my membership (09/19/24) because the price point was too high for the lack of exclusivity. That really did it for me. It felt like the brand or owners kept accepting memberships until it got so crowed it lost its special feeling. Maybe that doesnt matter to some but if im spending 270 bucks a month on a gym/club, I dont want it to feel like the crowds at Fitness 19 or a Rec center. Definitely more family friendly than an exclusive "athletic club" vibe. My mistake for thinking different. Best wishes. read more

The facility is stunning and in perfect condition since it's brand new. However, I'm deducting one star due to the 1- underwhelming café, cold coffee at the bar, very cold burger that was not edible and 2- The limited availability of classes for kids and youth, which doesn't align with what was advertised. We're paying extra for our child, but there aren't sufficient classes available. We signed up for soccer tonight but it is not even available yet. 3-Regarding the staff, I've read a few reviews about their service. I've interacted with two different front desk ladies, and their responses were cold and uninviting, which didn't make me feel warm about the place. However, the staff in the kids' area were exceptionally friendly and compensated for the the soccer game not being available tonight. 4- The classes led by the teacher on the microphone in the middle of the work out area is far from relaxing. But I understand the space is not huge. I hope this feedback is constructive and encourages them to refine and improve their newly opened business. Then I will happily change and update my review because I am rooting for them. read more

LifeTime gym in Walnut Creek is the best gym I've ever been to, anywhere! The staff are wonderful and the amenities are beyond comparison. I try to go to this gym every single day when I am in town. It's the best and I thank all of the staff and administration for making it such a wonderful Place to exercise and share community. A special shout out to Lee, Noel, Kyler, Kyle, Be, Lexi, Val, Midori, Kristin, Priscilla and Pam. They make my workouts even better! read more

First of all, if I could give this location negative 10 stars I would. My partner and I just came from a tour at the Bay Club and wanted to check out Lifetime to compare and let me tell you.... The customer service was awful and just embarrassing. Marisa was not only uninviting but refused to even get our contact and claimed no one was available to do the tour and we should try tomorrow. She had the worst attitude . thankfully another co worker, Val was so sweet and said she would take care of us. I thanked Val because she was willing to help and Marisa said "well I'm not allowed to leave the desk" with so much attitude, like I even asked her to personally get up and help us ! Val apoligized for Marisa's behavior and was very helpful. However, I could not get past the terrible customer service. I'm not sure if it was because my partner and I are People of Color or if she was just having a bad day. Either way, I recommend going to the Bay Club over this one 100000%. terrible customer service for 300 a month? Yeah right. Fire Marissa asap! You lost two potential customers. Not a good location, too loud, too cluttered, I couldn't get past anything after the front desk lady was plain rude and had a disgusting attitude. Do better Lifetime ! Have your manager call me please. read more

Love it here. It is so clean, people are friendly, the amenities are fantastic! One of the best places I've ever worked out.

For $400/month you'd expect this place to be pristine. The equipment is not taken care of. Bike seats on the 2nd floor have tears and smell like mold from all the butt sweat dripping into the foam, barbells aren't serviced, cables broken, elevators down, pool closes every other week for some maintenance issue. The lead trainer. Jonathan, is rude. Which means the other trainers take his lead. The trainers also poach equipment and platforms for their own workouts during busy times. The trainers who lead classes don't pick up after their classes, so it forces everyone else to pick up equipment, or move items back to where they belong so the first 10 minutes of your workout is spent returning items that should have been taken care of by the trainers. Management is incommunicado, any complaint or concern dies at the front desk, and even direct messaging to management via the app goes unanswered. You'd be better off going to 24 hour, Crunch, or any other gym. Save your money. read more

Great clean environment with wonderful equipment and friendly, caring, professional staff.

Longer review to come! In the meantime, I can highly recommend Life Time as a fantastic place to nourish yourself in mind, body, and spirit. I fully enjoy the classes offered because all of the instructors are truly top notch. They are not only amazing at what they do, but they develop a professional rapport with the clients at Life Time that truly support and motivate you. Shout out to my favorite instructors: Rebecca, Karen, Priscilla, Tiana, Pamela, Mikaela, and Kristine. They truly push me to be my best version. Also, I am thankful for the weekly stretch sessions i have with Jonathan! He's awesome and helps me with my recovery in between my workout days. Relaxing there is also wonderful--from the spa amenities, pool, and the CBD massages I get. I can quite literally spend every day there, haha! Professionally, I am grateful for the work space provided to the clients including the private booths when I need to be on a confidential call or zoom meeting. However, my top part of LT that I appreciate is the parent night out's with my kid's membership. My husband and I don't have trusted childcare in the area and the parent night out's have given us back an opportunity to have a date every now and then. I am so appreciative for the love,care, and compassion the team provides my child. She has a great time every time she goes whether it's for date night or when I'm there to do a workout. And of course, another shout out to the concierge team who make the environment feel welcoming and safe--specific thank you to Lee and Kyle. I have formed a wonderful community of friends who can agree on all of the above. We love meeting up for workouts, relaxing over a coffee, or a family pool/splash pad day. Thank you Life time, for providing such a great place to escape to! read more

I love this gym and the personal trainers! Specifically, personal trainers Sebastian and Evelyn are highly experienced, incredibly motivating and amazing all around trainers! Both understand what it takes to make gains, and show compassion in the process. If anyone is looking for highly talented, skilled and experienced personal trainers- i highly highly recommend Sebastian and Evelyn! read more

I don't write reviews, however, I want to highlight a manager named Elizabeth at the roof top pool. Elizabeth greeted me with a big smile and hello. I asked her if she had any magazines lingering around that I could possibly read because I misplaced my reading material. She said unfortunately not but seemed determined to help me. I assured her that I would be fine without it, and to not worry. I did not want to bother her as I noticed she was busy helping what looked like a party in those private cabanas. I also saw her helping a gentleman fold towels, she was lifting and moving those heavy metal chairs, picking up garbage as she walked around, and still continued to entertain the cabana party. I knew a book was the least of her worries. She shortly returned back to me with a book at hand and said she went on every floor to help me find some reading material. Her comment; "I found you a book to read, it's not the greatest but it has beautiful pictures of art, and luxury gardens. I don't know if you like that but I hope this helps". WOW. I was truly speechless. To keep my needs a priority as she already had so much to attend to showed me her level of dedication and care that she has for the members. To top it off, she sat down with me and we had a wonderful conversation about the things that we both enjoy, and love to read. Her personality is warm and benevolent. I truly enjoyed her company. I look forward to returning to Lifetime and to see her again. -Susan read more

For the price of membership, parking should be completely FREE! The garage parking for 2 hrs (free) is not enough.

Great facility - new equipment - easy parking in adjacent garage (3 hrs free) - rooftop pool - basement lockers w steam, sauna, cold plunge and jacuzzi - highly recommended! read more

I think the gym is good, it's beautiful actually and smells amazing! I love the Zumba teacher Pricilla, her energy is electric!! I deducted one star because as others have mentioned 2 hours parking free only is not enough and the front desk customer service left a lot to be desired. As the first impression the young employees need basic customer service training, especially Kyle I believe his name was. I asked several questions regarding joining and he was extremely uninterested in assisting me for just a few minutes of his time. Making eye contact and giving someone your attention in a welcoming manner is taught in elementary. I recognize that the gym probably sells itself, but also the staff employed there are an important part of the experience as well. read more

The gym is new opened September of last year. My biggest issue is the layout is awkward compared to other gyms. I've been part of life time in New Jersey so I expecting more and better equipment for weight lifting but it's very cardio heavy over-indexed in my opinion. Also the variety of cardio equipment is lacking . Majority are treadmills and stairmasters. I think they are trying to make adjustments they added T bar row plate loading machine. They are lacking on plate loading machines. I think they are trying to add more but as some mentioned if you are a serious weight lifter it's not really for you. It's like a modern Jack LaLane focus more on a health club aspect. The location is convenient so makes sense for me to use it. It's very pricey a few hundred a month. read more

The place is a waste of time and a run around. I've been trying to get with a personal trainer for some time now. The personal trainer manager is absolutely no help. so I went and tried to get scheduled myself. Once I got on someone's personal trainer schedule, a week before I was to start the trainer allowed the person who cancelled to change their mind, and that meant we can't work together. What a absolute waste of time! I am so disappointed. For such an expensive gym, and the high subscription based personal training. They lack in functionality, accessibility, they are confused and disorganized and in the end, a waste of time. read more

I love this gym! It is worth the money for my little family... just a few things I wish they can work on. Kids Care - Amazing! Great staff! But.. My kids are ages 1 and 2, we've been members since November 2023 and my kids are already getting tired of the toddler space. I do wish they'd improve on the area with more activities and stimulating toys because a lot of the toddlers are crying and ready to leave. Cafe - Please improve food and choices of food! For the cost of gym membership, you'd expect a better quality of food. Facility - Wonderful! Love the space and the spa area! I love that they are always cleaning every area consistently. Staff - Very friendly! BUT the front desk; it is a hit and miss who you would get. Majority of the time, when I ask questions they RARELY know the answer and it's always inconsistent answers which is frustrating because I'm told one thing from one staff member then another thing from another staff member. Please learn your policies and if you do not know then just point us to someone that is more knowledgeable. read more

This review is specific to trainer AMIR. As a fit guy in my late 20s, I had my fitness routine figured out and thought I didn't need a trainer. Amir's expertise completely changed my perspective on training and muscle building. His approach is unique, pushing me beyond my limits and opening my eyes to new techniques I never knew existed. I highly recommend Amir to anyone looking to elevate their fitness journey! read more

Just joined. Oh my! What a nice spa gym. This place has everything you need to exercise, relax and pamper yourself. Take a tour. Thank you Life Time for investing in Walnut Creek. Enjoy! read more

Great staff. Amazing facility. I love my personal trainer Sebastian Lim. He makes working out so rewarding

Gym is phenomenal! Top tier luxury gym. I have seen a drop off in cleanliness since opening day. But the facility is top notch. I knocked off 1 star bc of how small the kids club facility is. I am paying an additional $300 for my three toddlers. The staff is great but the kids were complaining that they were on top of each other. I've been to other locations across the country and the space for the kids was Costco like. read more

Beautiful, clean, new gym! Love the amenities and the workout classes. The instructors are very good as well. I'm very happy with this place and glad I joined. read more

This gym is the best! The classes are all so good with incredibly skilled instructors - I am partial to Zumba with Priscilla which is really just a latin-inspired party. I also love the yoga. The equipment is up to date and innovative and always clean. But what I love best is the people - the members who belong are all just so fun, friendly and welcoming! Many people just work in the co-working space all day while getting their workouts in throughout the day. It's just a kind of magical space! One upgrade: the bathrooms / showers are not always the cleanest with maybe some strands of hair left or not dried out from the person before. I think they need more attendants monitoring and cleaning. Other than that, it is really just the perfect place. read more

Came in to join as a new member. Front desk youngsters were disinterested in doing anything for me. Asked for a tour, they said it's too late. Asked for a guest workout pass and the reply was "you need to be supervised". Really? Other details: they were discussing favorite taco choices with each other while I was there inquiring how to become a PAYING member. To the management reading this: the time of the visit was 3/21/2034 at 7:30pm. Kindly check who was working the front desk shift at this time and have a training conversation with them or you will supervise yourself out of business. After my awful first time experience here, I read the plentiful 1 star reviews of this place left by other Yelp users and have to say I agree with their conclusions: NOT WORTH IT At this pace, there will be a "space for rent" sign outside of space soon. Complimentary tip to management: if you want to attract customer segments willing to pay a premium price for membership, you may want to invest in training, systems and processes to ensure prospects get a first impression that sells the premium experience through every interaction I certainly did not get that during my visit. read more

Since day one when it opened me and my Fiancé have been going everyday It is by far the best gym around and I am thankful for it opening when it did because the fact it's convenient, the hours are perfect, the staff are amazing and the machines and amenities are just what you need. I 100% suggest this gym to anyone who wants a healthy lifestyle gym to feel comfortable and can get into the zone! read more

Rating the Lifetime cafe. The staff are not trained, it's always dirty and under staffed. They run out of almost all ingredients everyday. I literally went here three time for the Avocado toast. 20 minute wait each time everyone who came after me got their order before me each time. It's cut avocado on bread with a drizzle of oil on top..... read more

I have been working out since I was in high school and have been to gyms all around the country. I am incredibly impressed with Lifetime in Walnut Creek. I found all of the staff to be engaging and friendly. I followed my world class trainer Amir over from another gym in Walnut Creek and couldn't be happier that I did. The facility is immaculate and the gym is equipped for all skill levels. Great Job Lifetime team! read more

I love this gym.Everything is nice, new and clean.Spa is amazing.Sauna and cold plunge are my fav.I also had a chance to workout with one of their fitness trainers .His name is Amir and he is one of the best trainers I've ever worked with.Totally profesional,no chit-chating only bussines.He was able to help me with nutrition and to kick off Nutella addiction.I got leaner, was able to put on more muscle and got stronger in no time.Every workout was well planned and it was challenging. He really pushed my workout to the next level.Five stars for Amir too!! read more

Generally ok but it seems like there are lots of broken things a lot of the time mainly due to construction related issues and it feels like too much space is devoted to children's activities. read more

I have had the absolute privilege of having Sebastian as my personal trainer for the past 2 months. Not only has he helped me achieve my goals of strengthening my body and losing weight, but he has been an inspiration, a life coach, and a friend. He helped to hold me accountable, gave me confidence that I could reach my goals, and made sure I showed up and worked hard at each session. Sebastian is very good at his job as a trainer- he is knowledgable, creative, and knew how to adapt each exercise to my body type and ability. He pushed me to strive for more and was always a positive encouragement throughout each session. This experience has been well worth the time and money and if I had the opportunity to work with Sebastian again, I would do it in a heartbeat! My friends and family all commented on how good I looked and how much positivity and energy I carry now! What a blessing and boost to my life that I needed so bad. read more

I came here as a guest with the intention of possibly becoming a member. I had a tour of the entire facility and from the outs it looks like a pretty good gym. A lot of machines (which eliminates the wait time to use certain ones) and the recovery room was spacious as well. I did love the rooms for hot yoga and the downstairs sports courts. My main issue is the pool and the service on the roof. The food options were very limited and took a very long time to come out. My family and I waited over an hour and half to get a cheese pizza which was way below par. The fruit bowl we received was mediocre with the strawberries clearly being pre cut and stored (not fresh) at all. The carrots were not peeled and dirty and the broccoli had brown spots all on the top. Also had to ask for hummus multiple times which should have came with the veggie bowl to begin with. We waited again for 45 minutes for 3 margaritas and as I watched the bartender make them (as I had to sit there and feel the need to pressure the promptness of the service) the bartender JAY poured maybe an ounce of tequila in her shaker for 2 margaritas total. (I bartend and I know my counts). I felt as if she didn't know what she was doing and looked stressed and confused the entire time she was behind the bar. The bar also opens at 11 and she was unable to start service until after 1 o'clock. In my personal opinion if someone is going to be paying $300 A MONTH for this gym they should be receiving the most top notch service with staff who pays attention to detail. There are plenty of gyms who offer the same thing and are half the price. I know this place hasn't been open for long but they need a lot of work to stand out and make themselves worth it. Walnut Creek is bougie and I know people out here love to spend their money on anything that looks fancy but it should be worth it. This is not it for me and I will not be joining. read more

Don't be fooled by other reviews... the facility is amazing. Of course there are kinks with any new project, but they do their best to keep up on issues as they come up, and keep the members informed. The girls at the front desk are amazing- I've never seen them be anything but warm and welcoming to everyone that comes in the door. Give lifetime a try, you'll be just as impressed! read more
