I come here when i want to paddle board. Usually a Saturday late afternoon. They ask that you return the paddle boards by 6PM and allow for swimming until 6:30PM (Saturdays). Upon check in have the front desk give you a bracelet which has two codes on it. There are 2 gates to access the trail around Quarry Lake and the lake itself. It's clear, relaxing, quiet. there's a dock to sunbathe on. Way nicer than Lady Bird Lake. The gym itself is smaller than their south location. There is no sauna. In the women's bathroom there's the usual hair dryer, shaving stuff, q-tips, cotton balls and showering products. I think it's so nice to have this paddle board/lake with the membership. They have swim lessons here as well. The cafe looks great. Things are clean. Staff are helpful. The outdoor pool has 4 lanes since one is blocked by cement columns that hold up the patio on the second floor that has some bikes.

So my sister is a member of the South location and had taken me there as a guest. We went today to try out this location North on Braker as it is close to my house. The gym is clean with everything you would ever need, but it does not compare to the South location. There is a lap pool, but no saunas or hottubs. You can reserve kayaks and stand up paddle boards for the Quarry Lake. It's a great gym, but if you pay the same for all Lifetimes, I would feel like the value is not there. Dressing room is a lot smaller and showers don't seem as nice. I can't complain and say it isn't a nice gym. It just has nothing on the South location. However, that may be by design. Again, I would feel foolish paying as much for this gym as the South location.

For the past eight months, I've been attending this Lifetime Fitness location and have enjoyed its smaller, less crowded atmosphere, especially with the 18+ policy. The staff here really make a difference - they're always approachable and genuinely friendly, adding a positive touch to every visit. I've never had a bad experience with them; it's clear they're committed to making the gym a welcoming space.The gym's location near a lake is a unique feature, though I haven't had a chance to fully experience it yet. There's no hot sauna or steam room here, but the membership allows access to other Lifetime locations. So if you fancy a steam or sauna session, you can simply visit another location every once in a while.Despite a higher price tag, the quality of service and overall gym experience make it a worthwhile investment. While it might not be for everyone, particularly those who prefer larger gyms, if you appreciate a more personal atmosphere with familiar faces, it's definitely worth checking out.I do want to give a special shout-out to Erica, a staff member who stands out. From my first tour of the gym to many check-ins since, Erica's exceptional service shines through. She consistently goes above and beyond, showing immense kindness in all her interactions with us gym-goers. Her dedication is just one example of the great service that characterizes this gym.Another shout-out goes to Rachel K., one of the yoga instructors at this location. Her teaching style and kindness in the studio have been instrumental in my deepening love for yoga. She's always open to questions, fostering an environment of learning that I greatly appreciate. Her dedication to her students' growth is evident and has positively influenced my experience at the gym.I also want to mention Gabby and Max. While I've interacted with them less frequently, each encounter has been positive and enjoyable. There is one guy who I see cleans who just has a positive vibe, I don’t know his name but I’ll get it eventually. Even though I may not remember all the names at this moment, it's clear that the entire staff team contributes to making this gym a fantastic place to work out.

The lake is great. This location is not as nice as the south location, but usually less crowded. Still much nicer than most gyms though. It is a lot smaller and more lowkey than the south location. If you have questions, don’t call. Every time i’ve called, it goes right to voicemail.

Life Time fitness was exceptional today. I walked in and asked if I could workout unannounced. They waived their guest fee for me so I could check the place out. As I was walking around deciding where to start a trainer named Sage introduced himself to me. We talked about my fitness goals. He showed me a workout that he felt would be a good fit. He didn't just tell me about the workout, he showed me. He was very professional and motivating! Just exceptional customer service! Thanks again Sage!

This is a great club and despite how much smaller it is, it tends to not be very busy like the other locations. Love the added lake, outdoor workout area and rooftop feature which can allow you to take your workout outdoors and get some sun! I wish there was at least a steam-room, which would definitely give this club a 5/5, but I believe this club is definitely at least 4/5 stars overall.

This is my go-to gym. It’s spacious, clean, and not too crowded compared to some gyms I’ve been to. I love working out here because the cardio equipment is nice and sturdy, there are many weights and a variety of machines. Plus, the staff are great and always friendly. Great location and terrific locker room too.

Just visited this LifeTime for the first time and it’s amazing! Brittany (front desk) made me feel very welcomed! The gym is well kept, and clean. Plenty of equipment along with cleaning stations all throughout the gym. Cardio equipment upstairs along with a nice lake view!

Best gym ever. this location has paddle boarding and kayaking on a private lake. there’s gorgeous scenery and a hidden waterfall! Clear water and turtles. I like to swim laps along the safety rope.

Just checked out the gym thinking about joining them. Comparing between this one and the North Austin one. I kinda like the outdoor swimming pool with the shade. It feels better on nice days. The thing is this location has their own lake to hike and do some water activities like kayak and standing paddle. Thinking hard now.
