| - So I am giving Lifetime Gilbert 3 stars out of 5. Here are the pros:
-Top notch equipment and facilities. You can do olympic, spinning, yoga, trx, free weights, pilates, etc. All of the equipment is clean and well kept!
-Classes are great, you can find some really diverse classes from hot yoga to spin to paddle board yoga...they are very creative and really cater to their members.
-A lot of unique offerings...there's a spa, 2 awesome pools, 2 hot tubs, a cafe, massage, water slides, steam, sauna...all that make for a really great feel. You could literally spend 5 hours in there...easy!
-Easy access to trainers. It does cost, but a lot of people seem to utilize them so they must be doing a good job.
-Very diverse population that come here, you'll see all walks of life.
-You can do anything there...even if you go there just to relax and use the sauna, this place definitely has it all. Sometimes I go just to spend some time by the outdoor pool, other times I can go there late at night just to relax in the hot tub.
-Lifetime bucks are very cool. I got 75 when I signed up and have used them for learning new training methods with a personal trainer, you can also get other services with them.
Here are the cons:
-Literally every single interaction I've had with a staff member/trainer/instructor has been them trying to sell me something (think used car salesman). It is completely overwhelming. There was a spin instructor who kept trying to tell the class about some new blood sugar stabilizer/energy supplement. She LITERALLY told the class NOT to read the label and to just do what she says with it. I counted the times she referenced it in one single class (11x). IMO, that can be dangerous. I'd hate to see what happens if someone who is on medication or has a condition they don't know about start taking supplements that a spin instructor recommended and ends up having dangerous effects. When you do buy something at the store at Lifetime they ask you who recommended it to you, or who your trainer is...which leads me to believe they get some type of kickback or commission when these products get sold attached to their name.
-Some people are looking for shortcuts in their fitness goals and will start popping supplements like candy if they hear a fit person talking about it. They will try to tell you that you should get your poop tested for allergens, your vitals checked by one of their trainers, glucose testing, heart rate testing, etc. For me, I tend to trust medical professionals with this sort of information, not a personal trainer...regardless of their "certifications". To my knowledge, there is no M.D. on staff at Lifetime in Gilbert...not that there should be, but that's who I will trust with anything I put into my body.
