| - A friend brought me in as a guest to Life Time gym. We were there to attempt to kickstart our training for an ironman we are running in 2016 (it proved to be a success!).
This gym is massive and luxurious. It has endless treadmills and cycling machines, roomy spin cycle room, a large pool with kiddie area, a separate pool with swim lanes, hot tubs, wet & dry sauna, salon/spa, restaurant for that post workout smoothie/meal, a daycare centre, squash courts, and even a rock climbing gym! They even had sparring mitts and those dummies where you can just mount them and start wailing away. #stressrelief
Along with that there is just so many amenities such as free towels, hairdryers, lotions, hair gel, bath toiletries in the shower stalls, and a spinner to dry your swimsuit. You don't need to bring your own lock as each locker already has its own.
Although the high price does reflect the total package they try to deliver, I think for those that want to have a one-stop shop for their fitness needs then it may well be worth it.
Although I couldn't make this my everyday gym, they mentioned that they are in the process of exploring options of expanding to the downtown area (near harbourfront) and the Leaside area in the next few years.
I am going to keep my eye and see if their future facilities can deliver what the Mississauga location has already established.
