Very clean and nice facility, but some of the essential weight training equipment could use more stations

Little expensive compared to other fitness centers in Bellevue downtown. Great service and maintenance by the team.

It's my top fav gym by far, this location is not one of the best ones I have tried so far in other states (Tempe, Vegas) and also in Canada's (Vaughan). But it works!!

Visiting from out of town and came to this location. Compared to my home location it is very underwhelming. It’s so small and few amenities. No rock wall, no basketball courts, I didn’t see a pool, no turf area. I might be spoiled though :)

Loved the workers! Super helpful and the gym was very clean, everyone else working out here were polite as well. Went twice during my stay here in Seattle.

An amazing gym! Love working out close to home with lots of amenities nearby. It has everything I need for a great workout, with a friendly vibe!

It's been brought to my attention Life Time Bellevue has removed my post below from public view so it makes you wonder what other kind of less-than-ideal truths and shady business practices they're hiding.Extremely disappointed with my recent and prior experiences with Ryan Anderson, Life Time Bellevue’s General Manager. As a former member who paused my membership during the pandemic due to safety reasons and because Life Time furloughed the teachers whose classes I attended for the foreseeable future with no return date, I reached out to see what rates were for returning members in February 2022 now that one of my favorite instructors was back on the schedule. I was informed there was no benefit or incentive to being a former member, you aren’t grandfathered into your previous monthly rates (or anything close), and rates significantly rose (I was quoted a $70/month+tax increase). While Sarah Kraft from member services kindly answered my questions, Ryan Anderson, who was looped into the conversation on her day off, was extremely rude, unprofessional, and condescending. Unfortunately, this was not the first time I received this kind of tone, treatment, and disrespect from him and sadly I am not alone.Instead of simply answering my question about how come other members who were in the exact same situation as me (canceled their membership during the thick of the pandemic and were now looking to return to as things were opening up) received more favorable rates, Ryan was very demeaning and resorted to mansplaining. His response was rather shocking and uncouth.Sarah informed me starting on January 1, 2022 rates rose to $199/month (I was previously paying $129/month), the club was up-leveled to a Signature Club, and this was the only pricing currently offered, however, another member who I spoke with in the exact same situation and rejoined a couple weeks prior (and after Jan 1) was offered a lower rate by Sarah. Ryan later clarified they actually officially transitioned their pricing on December 16, 2021 which is yet another example of contradictory information provided by Life Time staff over the years. We’ve noticed things change based on who you’re talking to and who’s asking.Last year in the throes of the pandemic, members were asked to start paying hold fees of $15/month+tax with no guarantee of fitness instructors being asked to return (a whole other story). Through conversations with other members, we learned we were all being asked to start paying this hold fee at different times rather than all at the same time which seemed strange. When I reached out about this, Ryan denied there was differential treatment/opportunities being provided yet members were clearly being asked to start paying hold fees at different times and unfortunately it sounded like I was one of the earlier ones per my conversations with other members. Ryan’s response at this time was yet again very rude and unprofessional.It is very disappointing to see someone in a leadership position lack basic customer service skills and common decency when a customer is trying to get more information about rejoining which is supposed to be an exciting and stress-free situation. This type of approach from any level, especially management, detracts from brand affinity and reduces customer retention and referral. If it weren’t for the amazing fitness instructors who are slowly returning and bringing us back, many of us would probably not even be considering returning based on our experiences with Ryan and the customer service we’ve received over the years.Side note, apparently during the pandemic, this club was “up-leveled” to from a Diamond to a Signature Club which means rates are significantly higher, you have to pay for Small Group Training services you don’t necessarily want/need because it’s now one set price, all while the facilities remained the same (still significantly less amenities than other Diamond and Signature Clubs), hours of operations were reduced, and the group fitness classes weren’t as robust as prior to this up-leveling.

Really nice gym with a pretty good assortment of weight training equipment. The guys at the front desk are super friendly and welcoming, and were by far the best front desk staff of any gym I’ve been to. Even during peak times I never had to wait long for equipment. Most people here are pretty courteous and have good gym etiquette. There is one guy who’s there in after work (balding guy with accent) who acts like this is his own gym - never reracks his weights, always talking loudly on his phone, and puts his belongings on equipment that he’s planning to use, before he’s using it. Other than him, it’s a pretty pleasant environment. I’ve now moved away and go to a new gym, and find myself missing lifetime Bellevue.

Absolutely the best gym in Bellevue and the greater Seattle area. It's pricier but well worth it. The gym is spotless, the equipment is well maintained, and the team that works here really cares about the members. It's not your typical "bro" gym. It's a cool community here where everyone seems to connect on being healthy & fit. People genuinely celebrate each other's successes in classes and on the gym floor. I have a personal trainer here (Olivia) that I originally went to twice a week but have increased to 4 times a week based on the results she is helping me achieve. She works hard to program my routines and make sure she adjusts them based on what she sees in my performance. Olivia is a great trainer and if you're lucky enough to get on her schedule you'll be glad you did. Alex and Joe are also great. The spa here is incredible and I would highly recommend Simon to help you with post workout recovery with a CBD massage. The Life Cafe is a great place to fuel up, or to wind down and refuel after a hard workout. Food and smoothies are always great and the team is fun and remembers your favorites. The southwest bowl and the body builder smoothies are my favorites. You can also pick up all of your typical workout supplements as well as a range of vitamins in the cafe. There are also group classes included in your membership from hot yoga, to cycling etc. The Pilates classes can also be booked if you are looking for better mobility and range of motion. Great add-on to your routine. The front desk staff all get to know you and are super welcoming. No other gym like this in the area. If you're a business traveler, I would also recommend you get a membership that allows you to go to other Life Time facilities. There are some great ones around the country, and although I've loved them all...Bellevue is my favorite based on the people working here. Like I said...more expensive than most gyms, but you get what you pay for. This club is high quality and you'll definitely get the results you want here no matter your health and fitness goals.
