I would like to highlight the excellent experience I’ve had with Life Time over the past few weeks.

The only basketball court available will be used for the kids summer camp from 7am-6pm Monday through Friday till August.

The locker area is clean but can get tight during peak hours. I once had a small delay at reception due to a queue, but it moved faster than expected. Equipment is generally in good condition, and people tend to be respectful about sharing. It’s a straightforward gym that works best if you go in with a flexible mindset.
