Life Time Fitness

I don’t easily give a 5 star rating but I did here. I never thought I’d pay this type of money for a gym membership but I feel that you get a lot for the money so I signed up!
They have a lot of free classes like yoga etc. that you can participate in as well and indoor and outdoor pools and saunas. They have basketball courts which they use for volleyball sometimes as well. They have a huge variety of cardio equipment like stairmasters, ellipticals, and treadmills. They also have a lot of machine and weights for weight training. The only downside I can find is that during peak hours this place gets insanely packed.

Very pleasant staff and nice atmosphere. I have had a few billing issues so watch your account but they always fix it when you bring it to their attention. Clean and Spacious.

The gym is very good. No complaints so far. However, there are too many thieves. They will take anything valuable from your locker if it’s not locked properly, or you forgot to take it home. This happens a lot in men’s locker room. I take responsibility for the loss of my property, but I can’t understand people paying minimum $ 65 a month and stealing people’s property in the locker room. Whatever happened to people’s integrity?

I have been a member at the North Brown Rd Lifetime Fitness for approximately two months and I am loving the facility. I am a morning attendee and the club is always spotless. The staff is courteous and my training coach is very knowledgeable and skilled. I start my day there with a workout, then a healthy breakfast in their restaurant while I review my daily goals and line up my day. You want a good facility? This is it!

I love this Lifetime Fitness. They give you a tremendous amount of variety. Every type of class you can imagine. They have really done their homework on what fitness people love and deliver above and beyond. The rate has gone up every year and people continue to come. That says something. The facilities are beautiful and you feel like you are in a higher end hotel/​spa. Unfortunately, this place has become a little too crowded for its own good.

I bump it back up to 3 stars. They went back to ²⁴⁄₇ again and the staff is a lot more friendly. Just remember that if you join this gym, they will raise the monthly fee by $ 3 a year. I join in 2011 and paid $ 55 and now it’s at $ 67 which is almost not worth going there and find a cheaper place. The area has so many gyms that are open ²⁴⁄₇ with reasonable pricing.

I signed up for a specific rate, and 3 months later they increased my rate. Bait and switch much? Of course I lose my $ 100 sign up fee if I cancel now.
There is nothing wrong with increasing the rate, but right after I sign up? That’s just a cheap shot!
BUYER BEWARE!

I really enjoy Lifetime Fitness. I like that it’s assessable 24 hours a day. The classes are good & the amenities are awesome. The only drawback is the price. The resort style pools are great especially for kids. The salon is really nice.

When it comes to gyms in the world, I have to say Life Time Fitness has really done their homework and delivers with a solid A+. The equipment is all generally top of the line and in excellent working condition, their other gym facilities are also generally top notch and more than you can ask for from a health club.
From cutting edge equipment, multiple machines, a full room dedicated to cardio, fitness classes, private showers, a health café, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, dry and steam sauna, fresh towels, private lockers, to friendly and helpful staff, comfortable lounge with leather sofas with a big screen tv, advanced child care center, well run and organized child activities and summer camp, children swimming lessons, rock climbing wall, rock climbing lessons, basketball courts, squash courts, and spa & beauty center (and more) LifeTime Fitness really delivers and you get a mother ef*in astounding health club that even your mother would approve of (hopefully). That being said, I will mention that this club is not your cheap run of the mill gym that advertises $ 10 a month like some of the other clubs around town. This is a solid, bonafide, «you get what you pay for» type of gym that aims to deliver the highest quality life improving health center around and they do that well.
However, I will mention that it is not a perfect gym and has some negative points that I will be happy to mention here. For starters, this gym is popular. Very popular at certain times and can therefore get crowded during those peak hours. Parking can become uncomfortably difficult to find during the peak hours, so keep that in mind. TIP: Even on the busiest of hours, there will be parking available, just possibly on the outskirts of the parking lot which is humongous anyways. Also, I have noticed on some mornings when I come into the gym, there can be some free weights that are not re-​racked and you can tell that the staff was unable to fully clean the gym perfectly the night prior. Being that it is a 24 hour gym, this is completely understandable however, and I can not dock any stars nor criticize too harshly for that. Furthermore, I have discovered some people will leave their used towels on the ground which imho screams, «come on friends, your momma isn’t going to pick up after you here so please exercise some common courtesy.» But, i digress…
A few additional points, their outdoor pool is amazing. Only open during the warmer months, equipped with a large slide that is restricted to those that can swim comfortably. Parents Take Note: Toddlers may have to pass a small swim test to qualify using the slide. They have two spas jacuzzi hot tubs inside furnished with a small waterfall that is generally open 24 hours, and a nice outdoor hot tub which is open for limited hours.
Ask for Lindsey Hislop if you’re interested to check out the club or have questions regarding membership, but I’m pretty sure all the membership coordinators at Lifetime are solid, Rachel Duque if you have children who are interested in summer camp and other children related activities, and all their front desk associates are solid.
Lastly, note they have locations all throughout the United States. It was a relatively simple process for me to get a guest pass to be able to use their facilities while traveling to other states.
If you’re looking for a health club experience like no other, check out Life Time Fitness of Sugarloaf, GA and pursue with confidence.
Thank you and best wishes to the LifeTime Fitness team and have a very positive day.
all the best,
Brian
p. s. «the juice is definitely worth the squeeze.»

I heard so many good things about Life Time Fitness so, finally I decided to give it a try. At first glance I was impressed, the facility appeared to be clean well maintained, and most importantly, didn’t smell bad. I met with a sales person named Derrick, he was friendly, and appeared to be very helpful, Shorty after signing up, I learned that some of the perks Derrick sold me on were not with-​in the policy. Derrick asked me to list names of people who might want to try out the facility, he told me they each would have 14 days to try out the facility. Not True!!! Don’t fall for it, your guest will be asked to pay for the day, or get a membership. I first voiced my concerns with the sales manager, Thomas, he appeared unconcerned, and referred me back to the Sales person with whom the problem started.
It’s been 4 months now, and the quality has declined greatly, some of the staff members are rude and appear to be annoyed by members, One of the ladies in the Café made me a Pineapple & spinach smoothie mmmm… I couldn’t wait to taste it, until I saw her drop the lid on the floor, then picked it up, and placed it on my smoothie. Oh no !!! can I get a clean lid??? I had two complimentary training sessions, both were boring, low energy can kill a workout. The sales people are shady, some of the members are nasty, and rude, kids that should be monitored were running around, after the sales person was openly rude to me in front of the sales manager, I realized that management sets the tone for the poor service. I just can’t find any reason to keep this membership…
Beware when they tell you you can cancel at anytime, they don’t tell you it’s a fee to cancel, also, both the misleading Sales person” Derrick”, and the General manager told me,” If I were to cancel I would have 30 more days to use the facility, however; they neglected to say it’s because they charge you an additional month plus a cancellation fee after you cancel. Overall I give this location 0 stars… the facility the has declined, and the fees have increased!!!

The gym itself is gorgeous. The personal trainers are inviting and friendly. Expensive membership but all of the extra features of the gym make it worth it. The sauna, the steam room, the gorgeous indoor and outdoor pool, the hot tubs, the showers, the locker rooms. Worth the money if you use your membership enough.

The Life Time Fitness Spa is a hidden gem inside the larger LTF facility. I’ve used the fitness facilities for years, walking past the Spa without a second thought. I recently tried it for a haircut, and have been really impressed by the personalized service and professional staff. The appointment process reminds you via text and email. Upon arrival, the front desk checks you in, seats you and provides a beverage. The facilities are pleasant, clean and well designed. My stylist, Diana, was friendly, appropriately talkative, and does a great cut, with attention to all my personal preferences. I’ve been back twice now, and intend to become a regular.

Love the multiple pools, sauna & steamroom

Lifetime contacted me hours after my posting and was great at handling my concerns. Thank you to the staff at guest services for making Unilocal an important tool to use when it comes down to its users.

I’ve always wondered about Life Time Fitness while I’m out chilling and/​or shopping at Discover oooops Sugarloaf Mills. I’ve actually heard great things about Life Time Fitness from several friends. Everything from 24 Hour Access to great, clean gym with updated equipments.
So I finally decided to get a one day pass to go visit. I knew there would be deals since a lot of people’s new years resolution is to be fit and/​or lose weight. The only day I was able to go check it out is New Years Eve.
I already am a LA Fitness member. Don’t get me wrong, I do like LA Fitness for many locations and more opening too. My problem is that I’m getting bored with the classes. After two years of being a member, Most Zumba and Kickboxing classes are for newbies. I wanted more challenging classes. Not only that, the instructors that I have learn to love are no longer teaching at LA Fitness and either moved on to other gyms or open their own gyms but is far away from me.
Life Time Fitness is huge, just by looking from the outside. I got a tour of the gym from Bo. He is outgoing and friendly. I was surprised to see an Aveda salon next to the main greeter area. Bo showed me the basketball gym. He even mention there is open volleyball on two nights. I used to play volleyball back in the days too.
There is a rock climbing wall next to the basketball gym too. I’ve never done it before but that is interesting.
Walking upstairs is where all the machines are. There were tons and tons of cardio equipment. I was quite impressed. Many of them are updated too. My only problem is not every machine has a tv. There are two studios for workout. Studio 1 seems to be focus on strenght training and has many amentities such as bosu ball, yoga balls, dumbells ranging in color for weight, yoga mats, to resistence bands ranging in color for flexibility, and more. Studio 2 is more focus on cardio like for Zumba or Hip Hop.
I tried the TCX group in Studio 1. I have no idea what it stands for but it was the hardest and most intense workout I’ve had in a long time. It’s been a day since I’ve taken the class and I’m still sore! On Life Time Fitness website, the description for TCX is «combine full-​body resistance training with continuous cardio training and you get TCX. This intense athletic workout uses a variety of equipment and cycle activity with built-​in recovery for an efficient, easy-​to-​follow workout.»
Insanity class is even offered here!
Bo showed me the Yoga area. I was impressed with several rooms for yoga classes too! Along with them having hot yoga. I’m not a fan of yoga at all. However, I’ve always been curious of hot yoga. Then we went upstairs (yes, it’s another floor) and he showed me the cycling classes. There are two rooms for cycling too.
Lifetime Fitness offers complimentary toiletary items as well as clean towels for their members. Every member gets a card key for the lockers as well. The pool area is nice and there are water slides.
The monthly fee is triple the price of LA Fitness. that’s no lie. There also is only 5 gyms in Atlanta and all are in the northern suburbs of Gwinnett. I wouldn’t mind joining ONLY if I worked in Gwinnett. I already live here but I work in Cobb so I wouldn’t make it for the classes and I mainly join for the classes. Hopefully in a few years, I will work closer to home and become a Lifetime Fitness member.

Great facility. Been member for two years now and haven’t had any issues.
Recently they closed the place for a week for some remodeling, but the only difference I see is new basketball court floor and new treadmills.
I really don’t care much about other stuff; I know I lost 20 lbs in 2 months by working out like crazy and being on protein diet.
Definitely the best gym in the area. Has so many options and is such a huge place, it never feels over crowded. AMs seem deserted when compared to PMs.

I’ve been going to Sugarloaf Life Time for little over a year now and I haven’t had any issues with them. The Sugarloaf location is a gold club, but it has just about the same facilities as the Diamond club in Sandy Springs. The biggest advantage the Sandy Spring’s location has over the Sugarloaf are locker rooms are nicer, and they have a little more gym floor space. The Sugarloaf location has lifting platforms (big plus for me) as well as a climbing wall.
Where Sugarloaf’s Life Time falls short is in price and weight room floor space. The price for a membership is high in comparison to most other gyms in the area (this is a general problem with Life Time), but you get what you pay for with most other. The weight room floor space is a bit small here.
Overall this place has pretty much everything you need for your workouts and gets 4 stars because of that. It loses a star for price and floor space.

Quick Info: Back to 24/​7, monthly rates (gold) $ 77, (onyx) $ 110, (diamond) $ 145
This review is of the gym itself, its members and its recently reduced hours… And then going back to the regular ²⁴⁄₇.
This Life Time has a good energy during the 7pm-​11pm time slot. While there are more people here during that time than say, a nearby LA Fitness, this place will never feel as congested nor packed.
It is worth it to say that also during the 7pm-​11pm time slot, there are some really disgusting members that trash the fitness floor like their mom is working there then proceed to the locker room and act as though they just arrived in 2014 America from a 1476 Mexican jungle village. A great example is a trio of snot nosed Brazilian kids that get ready in the locker room making all kinds of noise and talking loudly about nonsense; All while blocking easy access to your locker followed by each of them leaving three or four towels on the floor. Slobs.
Sugarloaf Life Time recently closed for about a week to perform what was thought to be a decent remodel. It turned out to be half ass in more ways than one.
The weight room flooring, which was in more need of replacement, was not replaced but at least the tiles that were curling upward were hammered down and straightened out by the grunts that came in to perform the alleged remodel.
The mangy carpet was rolled up and sent elsewhere and replaced with carpet tiles. There’s already various stains on the new carpet from disgusting (or clumsy) members.
There are five olympic lift platforms with round weights. Doing deadlifts or cleans with those octagons was awful! This new addition has led to a few things being removed, like the pin-​selected individual hamstring curl.
A good portion of the treadmills were replaced with Life Fitness’s latest model with Bluetooth, Micro USB and old school iPhone connector. Yes, it has solitaire. I’m not sure if it has group games like some of the TechnoGym machines. The new treadmills don’t decline. Blah. None of the other cardio equipment has changed. The olde worlde inspired antique stair climbers and TechnoGym Top Excite have not been updated. The ancient «crystalized sweat» from years of neglect remain.
The biggest blow was the reduction from a 24 hour gym to one that closes for four hours nightly from midnight to 0400. Listen and you’ll probably hear quite a few people buzzing about it.
Fear not, the gym doesn’t shut down precisely at midnight. Just get in the locker room at midnight and you’ll have no problem.
The scapegoat employed at first was cleanliness: «We are closing for four hours a night to help sanitize better.» Well that’s a damn lie and outright fraud. The cleanliness level has not improved, in fact it has gone way downhill. Not too long ago I spilled a bit of my chocolate Muscle Milk. After seven nights, I can still see the splash marks clearly on the floor and on the locker doors. Clearly, I missed a few spots here and there when I tried to clean it up. But anyway, cleanliness has not improved. You’ll also notice that a bandage in one shower will remain for days at a time.
The second (and current) scapegoat for hour reduction: «They are trying to save money.» Yeah, well I think this is just more fraud. Their goal here is to get people to quit their current memberships at lower rates and then return to normal ²⁴⁄₇ operating hours and force those old members into a new/​higher rate.
For the pathetically low wages Life Time pays its employees, an additional four hours a day for two employees would barely put a dent in their budget.
So, if you’re unhappy with the reduced hours, keep the complaints going and hang on to your membership. Nearby John’s Creek, Alpharetta and Woodstock are still 24 hours. Sandy Springs closes at midnight also.
Also, if this gym wants to really save money then they should really look into all the members that share memberships. An Arab guy checking in with a membership that has the last name of Nguyen?! Are you kidding me?
Okay, it’s 2329, time for the sentry at the front to make the closing in 30 minutes announcement. It sounds more like an announcement at the Gwinnett County Jail.

I am a little upset with the gym, I have been with this gym for almost 3 years and I wouldn’t want to choose another one. The most disappointment was that they just renovated some of the equipment and the upgrades were a let down. They put new treadmills in with fancy screens and I just didn’t understand the point. I have never had to wait for a treadmill, however I constantly wait on bench presses, and other equipment that you could of upgraded. WE have so much cardio equipment it is taking over the weight room. Please do not go up on my membership for these upgrades or I will be forced to find another gym.

Group class is amazing but if you have a kid and is looking for a place to work out while your child stay at child center
This is not the place …
Child center is really bad, the employees at child center have no experience at all, I went there this morning and left 10 minutes after I check in .
I will never go back to this place again !!!
