Life Time

Finally . A lifetime gym with a working area !!! Now if only they could update their awefully basic overpriced menu and smoothies

If you’d like your 20-month-old to be wrongfully released by staff to a stranger who didn’t realize they were being followed out by a toddler, found in the lobby near concrete stairs alone and returned by a random member of the gym before staff even realized she was gone, and not be notified they lost your child until you returned to pick her up after a one hour class (despite management’s knowledge of the incident), then the childcare center at Lifetime Fitness is the place for you! Extra points go to management for trying to keep it quiet for 2 weeks before being forced by my husband and I to make an email blast informing parents of what happened, which despite our request of being detailed, was a vague, watered-down version of the incident. We were then essentially gaslit when we followed up after the email about reimbursement for our membership being told that they “fulfilled our request “, even though in a previous meeting we were told “that would be the easy part “. This is after the general manager’s admission that “it was a catastrophic breach of policy and at least 3 employees failed to follow procedures”. I’m well aware that this is a gym daycare and do not expect one-on-one nanny care, but at the very least, I expect that my toddler will be safe and won’t be released by staff to a stranger and lost. The childcare staff’s negligence could have caused serious harm or worse to our child, and management’s incompetence, condescending attitude and mishandling of the situation was an absolute circus from beginning to end. We’ve cancelled our memberships, contacted the state, Peabody police, and are completely disgusted over this entire experience. If you have a small child who can’t communicate yet, do so at your own risk. These people are NOT child care professionals despite their claims and management’s handling of this situation has been extremely disappointing. I will never step foot in this facility again, and would be doing other parents a disservice by not sharing our experience - I couldn’t live with myself if something else like this happened to another family and I didn’t speak up.

Very disappointed. My family rented two cabanas and the slides were closed the whole time and so wasn't the outdoor hot tub. When asked why the slides weren't open it was said because there were not enough lifeguards but it was overheard they sent some home knowing full well people were paying to use the outdoors. They charged all this money and didn't give us what we paid for and could have cared less. Will not be recommending this place to anyone

Really nice gym with great amenities. Cycling classes are my favorite! Francesca is one of my favorite instructors.

Legit gym, the people at the front are the nicest!!!Wildly expensive tho, for $240 a month they need to keep the place a little cleaner I think. Plus more machines.They need to do something about the area in the men’s bathroom, in front of the cold plunge. Someone is going to slip there real bad and sue! PUT A MAT DOWN!!Oh and the GM here needs to chill a tad bit, this man was off duty, working out still needed to walk across the gym and be rude to my buddy and I, because we were “dropping” 120lbs dumbbells.He said “before someone complains”.They weren’t being slammed, thrown or dropped, we are not animals at a Gold’s Gym. But buddy it’s 240lbs coming down from a bench, you slow it as much as you can, but we gotta be realistic here.. I like my rotator cuff, and there’s no way to gently place the equivalent of an NFL tight-end into the ground after repping it for a dozen times.Get real dude. 3 stars

Member Beware! They will charge you for services that you do not receive. If you call and cancel your membership via the phone the staff is trained to mislead you and tell you that your all set, you will not be charged anymore for membership only to find out that you most certainly will be charged. Please check you statements and be sure that they are not overcharging you for services that you do not receive. Unfortunately, this business is very adapt with a well trained staff at misleading the consumer and once they have your credit card number they own it. Read the small print or better yet have your attorney review it before you sign this membership contract.Also, quickly I was more than a little disappointed at the cleanliness of the gym. That area could definitely use some attention.

This place is so bad.Customers services is horrible they don’t have people skill. The environmental services employees are so unfriendly the supervisor of environmental services …

If you don’t mind getting your credit cards or high end watches stolen from the lockers, I definitely suggest this place!

Fit for rich people. Proper works here will prolong your life. When you exercise just don't over-project due to backfiring.

I’ve been going to Life time for over a year now, I usually don’t leave reviews, but these are my perspectives and thoughts about the gym. The gym is nice I can understand why the price feels high to most and it certainly isn’t cheap, but I believe when someone works out they want extra space and no one wants gym equipment taken, LifeTime does a decent job at doing that and their strategy does seem to work since not a lot of people invade room there. The locker room is perfect, ice bath, sauna, hot tub, showers, and certain supplies provided. The indoor pool is not the best and they should work on that. If a gym is committed to having two pools then everyone should use them, if they can’t due to lifeguards then don’t have them there. The only big problem I see with the gym price is that the majority of people use the second and third floor because it’s an actual workout area. The first floor is fully separate where you have to pay for spas, message, etc. and yes there is an indoor bar and place to eat, but honestly it shouldn’t be included in the payment if people aren’t going to use it, it’s just a waste of money. A big problem the gym has is the kids, I get there is a play care and gyms should have a place for their kids, but I disagree on them having to invade the hour of people to workout, play basketball, or swim. I feel like kids should be in a day care but not an actual gym. A friend of mine used to work at latitude and they also had a day care, and the best part about it is they didn’t have kids roaming around. Another problem is the hour changing. Maybe LifeTime is low on staff, but an hour change should not be allowed when people decide to workout early it’s most likely they have have early life time priorities. A friend of mine joined and had to pay more due to the summer hours which is the dumbest thing i ever heard of. If someone doesn’t want to go outside then people shouldn’t pay for an outdoor pool. if people do then just add a bar code to go outside, it’s that simple. Lifetime has done a decent job, I wouldn’t say they are great, but it certainly isn’t bad.
