“Nice folks and well maintained equipments.”
From the reviews
I recently called Life Time to inquire about membership options, and I had the chance to speak with Christopher. He was really friendly, easy to talk to, and knew the membership options well.
I’ve known Jon for over 20 years, starting back when he worked at Xsport Fitness, and he has always stood out in the fitness industry. Back then, Jon was the popular guy at the gym with all the muscles, and I truly looked up to him when I began my own fitness journey.
Great gym and staff makes this place unique, everyone is helpful, friendly and easy to spark a conversation.
We have been a member for over 10 years and it’s keeping up with growing demands of the area. Nice folks and well maintained equipments. Like it much better than the one in Northbrook. I’m m glad the police does patrol the parking lot as there are some troubles once in a while.
