Lifetime has a great atmosphere and wonderful staff. I joined the facility for the pool but I stayed because of group fitness. The locker rooms are always clean and smell fresh.Do be advised that you may struggle to get a swim lane during busy times due to swim team practice and or water aerobics.The group fitness is all included in the price of admission and they do an excellent job!My only complaint is that the place can be a bit over crowded at times.

Love my gym! Member service is exceptional. You truly feel like they are glad to see you. Up to date and well maintained equipment as well as friendly, knowledgeable trainers keep you motivated to move. No pressure, stress-free environment let's you concentrate on the workout or class, whatever your doing. Whirlpools, saunas, & steam baths help with the after workout aches. The full-service spa on premises, LifeSpa, makes it possible to get an appointment for hair, nail, or massage before or after your workout. There is also a health conscious eatery on premises, LifeCafe, where you can get tasty, healthy food options to eat in or grab & go.☆☆☆I can't imagine my life without Lifetime!☆☆☆

I paid $600 for nothing!!!!I put my membership on hold 5 years ago and when I went to unhold it, it was at the regular rate. I have been paying a fee every month to keep it on hold, basically for nothing.$10 a month x 12=120$120 x 5 years = $600I feel like I have been robbed. No one informed me of any rate changes to my account over the years whatsoever via cell, or email.I am a single mom and I have had tight finances since my divorce in 2013, and I always hoped that I would have the money to unfreeze my account. I cannot tell you how disappointed and betrayed I felt when I learned they have been basically charging me for nothing. Nothing at all.Update: I called the gym and was told a manager would call or email me back. They never did.Then a week later I called again and was told that I could speak to the manager but that they were busy and would call me back. They never did.

Had a men’s haircut at 12:30 on September 17th. I checked in at 12:30 sharp and was told to have a seat. After waiting for 12 minutes and not being told that my stylist was running late I decided to leave and get back to the office. If your running behind by more than 10 minutes you should let your client know at check in. Not have them just sit there without any idea how long you are running behind.

The facility is very nice and some of the employees are enjoyable. However, the aftercare kids program is a joke, expensive and much left to be desired. The main kids leader (Rio) has the worst attitude and very pretentious. Be warned, this place needs new leadership as the employees need to learn that it is the CUSTOMERS that pay for their salary.

I have been a guest for a week and have visited the gym on three occasions. Ones opinion of a gym is greatly influenced by prior gym membership. This facility and their staff provide an experience that is far superior to any gym in Central Florida that I have been a member. Be thankful that you have Life Time Fitness in your community.

Joined about a year ago. I was a little hesitant to join at first because of some negative reviews I read but I decided to give them a shot & I'm glad I did!! Staff is always friendly & knowledgeable. Fitness area is huge & always plenty of machines open to use. Everything else from the classes, kids area etc..is great! I throughly look forward to going everyday and many more days to come!!

I have been a member since this location has opened. It was great, but now it is so over crowded. It is not worth the money every month to come here and have to spend most of the time waiting for a machine. How greedy is corporate that they keep stuffing more people in this gym instead of worrying about the members they already have? Definitely thinking about canceling and going with another place where I can actually get a workout in.

Clean and a few good classes. No pool availability at all and they refuse to open lanes. One out of 10,000 adult lifetime members can use the pool during the busiest hours during the week. Multiple times members have complained and they will not open lanes. Pretty expensive membership dues for this kind of facility access.

I’ve been a member of Lifetime Fitness since it first opened in Vestavia Hills. In that time I’ve seen the quality of this gym go downhill. The gym is amazing, but it’s member size has become so big over the past couple of years that it’s difficult to get the workout in that you’re planning to do since so many people are on the equipment. The trainers for the most part won’t give you the time of day unless you are in one of their classes, a meathead, or a beautiful woman. They have all these rules for the gym that no one follows. I’ve gotten sick 3 times due to their steam room being constantly dirty. I know other members that have had the same experience. Other issues are members leaving dirty towels EVERYWHERE, people always having gym bags everywhere on the weight room floor even though they’re not supposed to, people hang out on equipment instead of using it, and it’s difficult to find a parking spot. To sum it up the look of the gym is incredible, but it’s a good looking car with a terrible engine that constantly breaks down. As soon as I find something better I will be leaving and it’s a shame, because this gym has so much potential but obviously cares more about the money they bring in instead of keeping their members happy!
