What players say Mostly critical
Players find Life Time gym heavily overcrowded and poorly maintained, diminishing the overall experience for tennis and other sports activities. While some junior programs are offered, there is frustration with staff attitude, cleanliness, and high membership costs. Tennis-specific details are sparse, but generally the facility fails to meet expectations for a premium gym.
The club is often overcrowded, with many reviewers noting an excessive number of children and teenagers on the gym floor causing disruption and poor gym etiquette. Staff are frequently described as unfriendly, unhelpful, or dismissive, contributing to a negative member experience. Some mention trainers monopolizing equipment or being more focused on money than helping clients.
Cleanliness is a major concern with consistently reported issues such as dirty showers, unclean locker rooms with towels left on floors, poor maintenance of gym equipment, and delays of weeks for repairs. Showers have low water pressure, and the locker rooms are often overcrowded and lack proper upkeep.
Some members use personal training services, but coaching quality is mixed with reports of trainers being unprofessional, expensive, and rarely providing adequate correction or support. No tennis-specific coaches or programs were named or positively reviewed.
There are kids classes and junior programs available, such as STEAM classes and camps, but scheduling conflicts limit their usefulness to working parents. Kids Academy is criticized for minimal supervision, overcrowding, unsafe conditions, and inconsistent enforcement of policies.
Membership fees are considered very high, with many members stating the cost does not match the service or facility quality. Rate increases have been frequent and sudden, often without proper notice or consent, leading to dissatisfaction. Some feel they are paying premium prices for a low-end experience.
