| - I've been going to Lifetime for about two years now and I love it! Before that I was at L.A. Fitness and it was fine as far as gyms go, however, the reason for the switch was the timing of my workout. I decided I wanted to start working out in the mornings before work and I instantly knew two things: 1) I would save about 30 minutes (or get an extra 30 minutes of workout) if I started showering at the gym and 2) there was no way I was going to shower at L.A. Fitness. YUCK!
So, the search for a nice gym began. I didn't have to look too far, Lifetime is actually closer to my house. And yes, it is a little bit more expensive, however it is well worth it to me. I think if you are a consistent gym goer, spending a little extra money makes sense.
I love that there is a cafe where I can grab some coffee on the way to work, or breakfast, or lunch depending on when I'm there. They have a good selection of food and open at 6 am! The locker rooms are always clean. The towels could be a little bigger/thicker/better, but they'll do (seeing as how there isn't any sort of towel service fee).
The staff is friendly, even super early in the morning when I usually go. They are always smiling, saying "good morning," and wishing me a good workout! I've taken a few of the classes there and I really enjoy them. I've worked out with a few of the personal trainers and haven't been disappointed yet.
The thing that still amazes me is that no matter how full the parking lot is, there are always machines available. I hate that "after work" rush, which is why I go in the A.M., however even the few times that I have gone at the peak of business, I have never had to wait to use a machine; and that is worth the extra money!!
