From the reviews

Excellent as a gym, clean locker rooms, lots of equipment. Pool is great, but sometimes people don’t want to share their lanes. I like the new desks with Wi-Fi that Lifetime has put in so in case you have a meeting right before or after a class, you can bring your laptop with you.

★★★★★ — Nuz, May 2026

I signed up for this club last week after checking out multiple clubs in the 30 mile radius (including equinox)! The facility is clean, people are extremely friendly but I would like to take some time to acknowledge what an absolutely incredible instructor and person Sammie is!

★★★★★ — Marion, Mar 2026

We joined about two months ago and we really do love it. The staff are ridiculously nice. Like good people who are also so well trained. The classes are great. The cafe food is quality. There are a few things that could be done to make it a 5 star facility. For families: - Put lotion in the family locker rooms.

★★★★☆ — Julia, Apr 2026

Toured with Brandon who was great. Joined last week and I’ve been going everyday. I love the club. The staff are pleasant and always polite, especially Kyle & the team in the kids academy. Dropping my 1 year old off has been difficult but they have been incredibly supportive and great with my son.
