Life Time

"My main complain is the pool -- the one that is 4.6 ft deep is very cold. I swam non stop for 30 min and could not get warm, my head was freezing and I had a headache. The pool next to it is too warm, it's like you are in a bath tub. And it's only 3ft deep. How can you swim there? Fort Worth location is so much better. This pool here is a joke. Yoga studios are tiny, to the point you are touching someone's feet during poses. Everyone is cramped in there and the teacher, Randee, was not welcoming. She was rude and rushing. For the amount of money the gym charges, they can at least be friendly."

"But today, January 9th, 2024, I had the MOST uncomfortable and suspect situation I could’ve ever imagined. And mind you, I come to this gym EVERY DAY, like 6-7 days a week, sometimes several weeks in a row. But today, I checked in like usual, parked my truck in the lot, walked in through the front door, scanned at the front desk, and went about my day. I sat in the sauna for maybe 3 minutes, then went to the men’s locker room to freshen up. As I was attempting to walk out to the gym area, I was stopped and asked if I had snuck in through the back door? I was so confused about what they were asking because not even 10 minutes ago, I had checked in at the front desk. I repeated the question back to them, “What do you mean, how did I come in?” The staff member said I looked suspicious and mentioned that I had been described as someone who snuck in through the back door. I mean, seriously, picture this situation: the only young Hispanic male is the one accused of sneaking in through the back… In moments like these, I have to look deep within myself, stay cool, and remind myself that I am a college professor. I have my Master's, I own several local businesses, I manage nonprofits, but even more than that, I have to remind myself that there are still people who judge with their eyes before they judge with their hearts. I used every ounce of self-control to walk with the staff member to the front desk to verify that I had just scanned in not even 10 minutes prior. Following this, I asked for my membership to be immediately canceled. I’ll spare you the sob story, but not feeling welcomed in your own gym is not a good feeling. I spoke with a different staff member as I was canceling my membership who mentioned that they had seen me around the pump room—a room I have never been in, didn’t even know where it was, and hadn’t come close to that morning. They said I looked like “someone who snuck in through the back.” I have been through so much adversity in my life that nothing surprises me anymore, but I just want to put this message out to anyone else who may experience something similar: save yourself the $185.19 a month and find a gym that will embrace you with open arms. I simply can’t be a part of any club, society, gym, or organization that won’t have me as a member. And this morning, the staff made it clear that I’m not welcomed there. I don’t need an apology, not then, not now. Matthew 7:5."

"Experienced the incredible Dynamic Stretching session at their open house yesterday and it was truly amazing! Meci, my Stretch Specialist, was both knowledgeable and helpful throughout the session. Can't wait for my next visit! Every adult should try it at least once. It was better then a massage."

"I recently visited the facility to possibly join lifetime and I was kind of shocked by how dated and used the facility looked. The flooring and locker rooms really the facility itself looked old and tired. The equipment was nice and the amenities were nice but definitely due for a refurbishment or something the price point doesn’t reflect the expectation."

"Very nice facility. Immaculately clean and updated/renovated. I was happy to see that they have a hack squat machine, and a variety of other unique machines that aren’t at other LT locations. Definitely a step up from the downtown Dallas location. The morning hours were a bit busy, but there’s plenty of room for everyone!"
