I was looking for Lifetime Fitness reviews and came across your post. What actually drove me to be interested in this gym chain is their no-contract obligation which I believe morally is right. I’m all for compensating for good facilities however once I smell selling pressure tactics I’m off the place. It’s true they don’t seem to focus on weightlifters but rather more on light fitness however less crowded. Anyway thanks for the pointer.

I would agree with the list, Memberships to gyms are really what you make of them though. I know i went through a stage where i used it everyday for a year then went off for a year. The difference showed however the same oppertunity was there.

Nice Work with the reviews. I’ve been paying for Ballys for over a year and I have not been in about a year heh.

I agree with you.I have always wondered why they move the people from gym to gym.
in some gyms you have to pay extra for tuition. Many people would probably be better off investing their money in some home gym equipment.

Its kind of sad that everything has to be about money these days. All of those commercial gyms only think about one thing “MONEY” . I personally have never tried any of those gyms you have reviewed. I try to use more natural means to stay in shape. I prefer running outside in the park than running inside on a tread mill, just my 2 cents.

Sounds just like cancer industry everything about dollars. I’d sign up with Lifetime exactly because of their less attention towards money. No deposits, no hidden admin costs like other Gyms would come up with. I don’t get bugged unnecessarily too with promotions. Too bad the gym has no franchise stores around my area..

Hi,

Going to a gym is definitely good,but as you said the worst part is even if youstop going ,you need to pay them.

Gym memberships are what you make of them. Most gyms are banking on the fact that you will sign up for a whole year and show up only in January. I personally would rather work out outside!

I’ve been with Lifetime Fitness before, my one and only gym. I had to get out though due to financial concerns. Besides, nothing beats a run through a park

Nice reviews BTW.

You know I have always wondered why they move the people from gym to gym. I was a member of Bally’s for awhile, and now I am a member of Gold’s Gym here in Florida, and sure enough you see workers there for a few months, and then they just disappear, and sometimes reappear some months later…hmmm…guess its some internal policy.
