I have been working out at this location for a bout one year. When I first joined lifetime fitness in Matthews it was such a great gym and a positive environment. All the staff seem to be happy and very positive. For the last few months the gym is going downhill fast. The gym is so overcrowded and you have to wait on equipment at times. Plus there seems to be let's just say a different type of crowd in there these days. A lot of groups that stand in a circle and gossip and laugh out loud very obnoxiously. It's sad to see this gym that was great at one point just become plain trashy. Also not to mention the staff seems to be very unhappy at this location and it is a revolving door of employees. They can't seem to keep their employees happy and it is just another trashy gym now.
