Absolutely love Life Time and this club looks like no exception!! Such a unique model and cool location! If you have been paying ridiculous prices to try various fitness studios and boutiques - SAVE YOUR MONEY! Life Time has it all and then some. Take a warrior sculpt class and grab a shake from the LifeCafe on your way out ;) Member of 12+ years and never looked back!

Squat racks are reserved during prime gym time for those enrolled in a special class. There were multiple times in the 2 months I was a member in which I got really sweaty, then went downstairs to shower only to find all of the showers randomly closed, so I had to get the interior of my car all raunchy driving home. Same thing happens with the steam room too, just randomly closed. Member services gave a complimentary 1/2 hour massage for the inconvenience. I gave the massage to my GF to use (she also HAD a membership), and they gave her an hour massage without her knowledge (she fell asleep) and charged her for the difference. We have a voicemail from the Spa confirming a HALF HOUR appointment, that didn't matter.Memberships here cost about 3-5x as much as surrounding gyms. I was a founding member of the gym and was really excited for this place to open but after being a member it really feels like the insanely expensive membership is more of an entry fee into the gym so that you can pay for other things. Like a ticket to Disney World, it'll get you in, but everything inside costs Twilight Zone amounts of money.I got an hour sit down session with a personal trainer to assess my goals. He told me how much I weighed, my BMI, explained where I should expect to be in 60 days (but gave me no instruction on how to get there other than "workout"), then spent 45 minutes trying to up-sell me group classes and supplements. He even went so far as telling me that the "ON Whey Isolate" I buy at costco is sketchy because 'you never know whats actually in there', so I need to buy the Lifetime Whey Powder.

The best gym I’ve ever experienced. Staff is amazing. All of the equipment I need. And huge plus on being able to reserve a spot for a class through the app on top of tracking your fitness goals. Definitely worth the money and time to invest in your mind and body here.

I'm not sure WHY this gym has only 3.7 stars, considering most of the reviews that were poor were made BEFORE the gym opened. I'm in love with the facility, the staff, the cleanliness and the classes offered. The olympic lifting platforms alone are worth every penny of the membership fee. The cafe is convenient, healthy and delicious and if you order off the special menu you save more money! As a former DBG member, they made an excellent use of space and have so many great services to offer.

Terrible customer service and complete lack of respect for other people's time. Apparently trying to become a member requires advance appointments and blocks of time. Don't even bother trying to try out the gym.I was member of the David Barton gym and totally ready to join this gym since it's in the same location, but I wanted to try working out here first to make sure I like it. Seems reasonable, right? So, I called to ask if I could come in and try out the gym as a prospective member, and was told that I had to sign up online. Um, why? I signed up online and then received an email from a "Membership Consultant" stating that I would have to schedule an appointment for a tour and then "experience Life Time for the day." Excuse me, but I have a job and a family--I don't have all day to try out a new gym. So I replied to the "Membership Consultant" and reiterated that I just wanted to try out the gym before becoming a member. In response, I received this complete nonsense:"Since we are a private fitness facility, we do want to ensure prospective members are able to check out the club, and experience it prior to making any decisions. We do cover the cost of a day pass ( $35) , so that pass does come with a tour with an account manager, they go over membership options and then activate a pass for the prospective member to use the club. I hope you understand the process and I’m happy to get a visit arranged."No. N-O. I've belonged to several "private" gyms and have always -- ALWAYS -- been able to drop in an try them out before meeting with a sales person. It's just common sense.Life Time's "process" cost them a new paying member.

It's expensive, but not cost prohibitive. It is no more than a membership to yoga for a month. It's clean, well equipped, lots of friendly people to help you and the best part is there are so many classes to choose from that are part of your membership dues. There's cycling, yoga, fitness, strength training and more. The bathroom/locker room is stocked with the necessities to clean up after a sweaty workout. I am thoroughly impressed and happy that Bellevue finally has a clean, upscale gym that I can play at all day long! I just hope it stays as nice as it is now.

I've been a member since late May and I have nothing bad to say about this place. It's clean and nice. It does get pretty crowded when everyone gets out of work and head to gym around 6-8ish, so I just go early to beat the crowd. I rarely have to wait for an equipment to free up and I will continue pay more than average membership fee to go to a clean gym that's relatively less crowded. Also, trainers there are awesome and front desk people are great!

I am thrilled with our membership at Lifetime Fitness. The range of class offerings that are included with my monthly fee is great. It works out to be much less expensive than a punch card for yoga or barre elsewhere. No matter what time of day I am able to get to the gym there are several options from spin to yoga to strength training from which to choose. In addition I highly value the professionalism and welcoming attitude of all of the staff from front desk to instructors. I appreciate the fact that there is someone making sure that class instructors are there and that all of the equipment is up and running. A great example is when I arrived for spin a bit late last week and the instructor was already in action but there was another staff person there to be sure I knew how to set up my bike and get going without disrupting the class. Thank you for making going to the gym such a positive experience.

Very fancy, well designed and expensive gym. It would be a perfect fit to beginners or people who’s targeting more cardio exercises.Pros: freshly build, well designed, large area for non fitness activities, good customer service, new sophisticated equipment for cardio exercise.Cons: Very little free weight equipment - not a good option for advanced bodybuilders - try before you buy memberships. Overpriced. Doesn’t have kids club.

$149/month per person?! Total ripoff, looks like they want to take advantage of the first people to join. I don't care what amenities they have. There are so many better options in the area.
