Life Time

"Our experience with Lifetime has been extremely positive. The staff are all welcoming and engaging whether it’s at the front desk, kids club or the instructors. We love the community they are creating within the group classes but especially pickleball. It has become my favorite way to start the day! Can’t recommend this place enough!"

"Lifetime is more than just a gym, and in my opinion the amenities make it well worth the fees. The club is brand new, clean, and the equipment is always in working order. I love having the spa and recovery options too. The classes are all amazing, and the instructors are knowledgeable and supportive. The entire staff is very friendly and makes an effort to get to know the members. The pickleball community is very social and welcoming, and it’s great that Lifetime has indoor courts for tournaments/leagues, classes, reservations, and open plays."

"I wasn't going to write anything about it, but after hearing more news and information about the upcoming changes, I felt hard pressed not to. With my few months at Lifetime, I've enjoyed the basketball courts to work out. Since I've joined and played pick-up or shot around, I've reached goals of losing weight and building my cardio. I enjoyed the basketball community as well as the space to see the different adjustable hoops for kids to learn and play since there aren't many basketball options in the area that are outdoors (especially winter) or open like this for me to really give my kids time to learn in a non-rushed environment. Then I learned that all the basketball courts were going to be replaced by pickleball courts. I read on threads how this has been happening across the country as a way to get partnered with Pickleball leagues. At first, I understood this may be a business move, then I sat on it and heard from a local or regional manager how the move "may lose 50 members, but has the ability to gain hundreds of new ones" off of 3 new courts, when there are outdoor parking lot of parking structure options that can be looked into replacing. That statement that was in an email screenshotted to us rubs me the wrong way, and feels disrespectful for the members that were already playing here and paying all this time. So I write this review to say not only is the membership pricey to begin with, that by adding 3 more pickle ball courts and ignoring members who enjoy the basketball space, it feels like there are targeted members... those who are able to afford a high membership price and the time slots throughout the day to play. A business move is a business move, and by seeing their responses to their recent reviews, it's all PR and management. With a new pickleball facility opening up down the block, I can happily tell my friends I would not recommended Lifetime Fitness as a place to go. Much love to the staff there who wash the towels and bathrooms and keep the facility up the way it is, it's unfortunate of this corporate decision that could have been thought of before versus changing it this way."

"Love love love this place. Always spotless, incredible trainers and group class instructors, outstanding pickleball COMMUNITY, kids club teachers and leadership are outstanding, front desk is warm and welcoming, and the kind and fun members of the club are just an added bonus. Everyone who works there from the manager to the cafe workers, to the folks in the spa, everyone is warm and welcoming-the front desk staff even knows my kids! They all really make an effort to authentically connect with every member. Can’t say enough about this place and everyone who works there."

"This facility is amazing! I’ve been a fitness professional for about 10 years now and this gym is easily the most well equipped & thoughtfully laid out in all of Oregon. No joke. I’ve been to every notable facility in Portland major (including the MAC) and nothing compares. The variety in machines/amount of platforms/volume of weight options/cardio machines (top notch brands btw) and more. It makes me sad it opened once I moved away no joke! I’ve convinced roughly 6 of my PDX clients to join w/o any incentive if that helps you gauge how impressive it is. One of my clients has been a member since opening day and of course the gym has gotten WAY more filled and busy, but it still has so much space you can find alternatives if you go at a peak time. If not, I suggest you hire one of their PT team for guidance :) The facility in general has so many fabulous amenities. Yes some of them like the spa services are extra - but thats because they’re specialty services. Someone below was complaining about the pricing structure- I hear you sis but also you need to know how much goes into the background of operating and maintaining a massive too notch facility like this. The equipment in the gym alone would run at LEAST 600k? Possibly more…and then you have to maintain it all. And add in huge pools, sauna (saunas break a lot), cold plunges, janitorial for all that square footage, cafe, lounge areas, classes, and more and $270 a month is absolutely worth it. If you only want the gym and locker rooms I’d suggest the 24 hr fitness Tanasbourne. If you want access to a CLUB then you pay for a CLUB. There is no reasonable way to keep track of members who “only pay for gym/locker rooms” so thats kind of silly…again I’m speaking from purely a decade of gyms I was a member/employee for both LA Fitness and member at 24 & Anytime Fitness AND private training gyms I ran my business from so I bothered reviewing this because I saw so many liked the below review and I think its worth clearing up the understanding of what goes into a clubs “fee”. Anyways, I also included a video from when I visited with a client who was a member. Can’t say enough good things about the staff as well, especially Jarod! Cheers!"
