Lifetime Fitness Gym: Pros, Cons, U.S. Locations & Prices

Lifetime Fitness is an absolutely amazing gym that has numerous locations to chose from in many states all over the U.S. For a complete list of locations and maps, see below.

What makes Lifetime Fitness an excellent gym is that it is designed with the consumer in mind. I have been to numerous gyms and had memberships that I ultimately cancelled because I was never motivated to go. This is not the case with lifetime. 

If you like to swim you will be in heaven because they have three Olympic size pools, complete with water slides for the kids. The pools are amazingly clean, up-to-date and HEATED! It's like getting into a bath!

Once you have finished swimming you can hop into a sauna or a hot tub (there's two giant ones).

In addition, you can go tanning or relax in a steam room.

The locker rooms consist of pure luxury. Marble counters and sinks, free hairdryers, complimentary lotions and conditioners and even heated towels!

If you're more of a work-out person you will be amazed by the quality of their work out equipment. They have row after row of every kind of machine you can think of. There's televisions that you can watch and even plug in your headphones and tune to the station listed and listen to the shows too.

Then there's countess activities that anyone with a membership can participate in 0 from dance classes to racquetball and even camp for the kids.

A regular membership is going to cost you a pretty penny, but remember, a membership is only worth it if you're going to use it. As mentioned I have had other gym memberships that cost only $30 a month, but since I never went, I might as well have just thrown my money in the trash. Lifetime fitness charges about $65 a month, with $250 down (one time charge). BUT if you wait until they have a special, you only pay about $200 down. PLUS if you or your spouse work for "the Big 3" or a different corporation you get a 25% discount on your down payment.
