Life Time

"Pretty clear why this gym is $100 cheaper than other lifetimes - limited equipment, dirty, poorly maintained. Save your money and go to a local gym rather than this chain or spend more and go to another location."

"I am now gonna be a lifetime member here."

"the gym is extremely lacking, they only have 4 leg presses and zero cables, bench presses, etc. it makes me sad because they took forever to build and now have conned the building management into offering it as a “perk” when it’s extremely limited, a Blink is better designed. and all the equipment is brand new which means it wasn’t a money thing, they just designed a gym that would look good on instagram, not be able to handle a normal lifting workout. also, zero amenities (no sauna, steam room, etc, which is quite standard for the area)."

"Just signed up for the gym and it is extremely nice, well maintained, and the staff is very friendly. However, the gym is missing a lot of basic lifting equipment. They are missing five pound weight plates, making it impossible to load a 55 pound barbell and difficult to load 105 pounds (30 pounds each side) because you need to use three ten pound plates on each side. To load 40 pounds on each side you would have to put 4 x 10 lb plates on each side, but each station only has 3 x 10 lbs plates. They are missing a multi-use cable machine, cable row machine, lat pull down machine and dip station/attachment. Maybe not as important, but dumbbells only go up to 80 pounds, most full sized gyms go up to at least 100 pounds. The gym seems to be designed for classes and not for the average gym user that trains on their own. They have more niche equipment like sleds and tires for classes instead of basic lifting equipment. Missing one or two items would be manageable, but missing 5+ basic pieces of equipment is a lot. Also extremely hard to get a gym rack when classes are going."

"I’m an onyx lifetime member and was considering switching to this club’s diamond membership (the only level they offer) because of its convenient location since I live in FiDi. The guy in the front desk was really nice and showed me around and emphasized that this club had a focus on its fitness class offerings. Fair enough. Regardless, since I’d be using this gym for outside those purposes, I would’ve liked to see actual barbell bench presses, more machines, and a bigger locker room with amenities- none of which they offer. And frankly, that’s ok too. What’s ridiculous is the pricing. The rates for the diamond membership to this club (the only level they offer) are unjustifiably high. I was interested in a couples membership for my wife and I and they start at $360/month. I know you pay a NYC premium, but to put it into perspective an Onyx level club (lower membership level) out in the suburbs offers way more gym for $180/month for a couple. At $360/month I’d expect to have more than simply what’s offered in my apt building gym. NYC premium considered, I’d actually consider this place if their rates were fair to the very mediocre caliber of gym that they offered. Sorry Lifetime. You’re not fooling me."
