At first I was shocked about the cost of lifetime fitness. I was used to paying minimum at other clubs or utilizing apartment fitness centers. Excellent layout and really excited to try the classes. Great free weight area, plenty of treadmills and ellipticals. Very nice amenities.

My husband and I have been lifetime members for a very long time. I wanted to write a new and updated review of the facility as my old review was quite old and outdated. My previous review I had given the gym a 1-star because I was frustrated with how it was very difficult to workout at rush times, and I was upset that they continued to upgrade the gym (such as the alpha studio addition) in ways that were only to garner new revenue streams, as opposed to taking care of existing membership.My large upgrade in stars is in large part because of the amazing staff. Laurie at the front desk is amazing and makes everyone feel welcome. They also have wonderful trainers and many other staff that contribute to an amazing environment.My criticism comes from the fact that it is still quite busy at busy times, however I feel that they are actually trying to help this situation, for example the new expansion of the free weight area has helped. There is still a *desperate need* for additional dumbbells. I don't know where the 10lb-40lb free weights disappear to at many times during the day, but they seem to be completely out of the free weight area, and it is almost always impossible to snag a weight from the 10lb to about 25lb range, at all times the gym is open (or at least when I am there) Please get more dumbbells. Or look into where people are taking these weights to use in other areas of the gym (Maybe in classes, with trainers, or at alpha? there should be a very easy solution for this) slightly expanding the dumbbell area would really make the space even better, and that is there the highest demand lies.My final criticism is this. You can walk into any steam room, at any lifetime, at any time, and it will be steamy and hot, and the air clean smelling and filled with eucalyptus. The SLP steam room is never this zen space I am hoping for, it doesn't get very steamy or hot, and it never smells nice. Ever. I don't think it would be difficult to remedy this situation, especially the smell by keeping it cleaner and spraying eucalyptus in it on a schedule throughout the day. I will even do it each time a workout if you'd like to add me to payroll....Hope this is helpful and I hope I'll be able to give 5 stars for my next review. :D

Upgraded to this location for 2 weeks and didn't like it. When I tried to drop it back down to my previous location they said it would be 35 dollar administrative fee and 50 more a month than my previous membership was 2 week ago. What a scam.

Held an awesome birthday party here yesterday for my son!!! Shannon and her team pulled it off for us on a moment’s notice. We had the gym to ourselves with a bouncy house, lots of toys and balls, and pizza. The kids LOVED it and the parents were impressed. Several people told me that they hadn’t known Life Time did birthday parties but would definitely consider it in the future, and two families were thinking of joining the club after seeing it. We had two party coordinators that made everything easy, from set up to stocking drinks to lighting birthday candles. The price was surprisingly reasonable as well. Can’t recommend a party here highly enough!

I will never understand why people work in customer service when they obviously don't like dealing with people. Majority of the staffs at this location are pretty decent besides one. This one staff lady just kept mean mugging me I don't know for what reason. I want to go ask her a simple question just simply rude for no reason I guess there's always that one sour apple anywhere you go but she got to go somewhere else if she doesn't like dealing with people. Never let miserable people bring you down in any kind of way. I bet this old hag would have loved to not ever see me taking care of myself but she will see me every day😄

I joined this club several months ago and I actually love lifetime fitness. With my membership I have the opportunity to go to the downtown Minneapolis location at the target center. I started going here more because one of the reasons why I purchased my membership is because after my work out I can use the steam room sauna and hot tub unfortunately at the St. Louis Park location. Hot tub is always dirty and has plenty of brown foam in it, I refuse to use it. Unfortunately, the staff there told me that’s just the way it is. The downtown location is spotless, crystal clean, and the water is clear with no foam and it looks like the hot tub and wet areas are maintained in a very professional manner. Lifetime is not the cheapest place to go, but if you’re going to pay this much money for membership, they should at least maintain all of the equipment and this includes, the men’s hot tub within the locker room. If the downtown target center location had free parking, they would get five stars.

Love Love Love the dance instructors! They make Dance Jam so much fun. They are talented, professional, and welcoming. Thank you Jeremiah, Elizabeth, and Riley!

I came here as a guest with my friend who is a member. The front desk lady rudely asked me "to move out of the way so paying members could check in." Last time I checked guest passes were a part of membership costs. It's not like anyone can come in for free by themselves, needless to say I won't be returning or signing up to be a Lifetime member, not a very welcoming place for people of color.

I absolutely love this gym with all my heart! The instructors are so fun and sassy, my favorite one which I and all of my friends agree on is Riley. His dance jam work outs are the best. We love Riley and we wish we could come more often. Stay safe and keep up the great work. 👍 💕 …
