Life Time - Austin, Texas

Andrew R.

lifetime is a good club, it’s always been clean and the staff has always been great to work with. I’ve been coming here for two years and love this location. It’s down the street from where I live and easy to get to. During peak hours it is busier than it should be but I just go outside of those hours anyway.

To the people complaining about the water jug get over it, there are water fountains and any normal serious gym goer is going to have a water bottle or not care about a jug. It’s crazy what people complain about.

During peak hours it is very busy and the gym is too small for the crowd, outside of peak hours the gym is always fine. To the guy complaining about 4 am and super late hours. It doesn’t make sense because even at 5am or 10pm there are like 10-15 people in the gym.

They’re always very good about saying if something is gonna be closed. Like the shower thing, I’m pretty sure we were notified a month out about that and they were apologetic about it.

The gym has always been clean, I’ve never thought the locker rooms were disgusting. People comparing to planet fitness are crazy. This place and the people that go here probably wouldn’t step in planet fitness.

It is expensive compared to the larger clubs, but it does come with its perks. You can practically go to any club in the country and definitely the others in austin.

If you’re complaining about the dues, then this probably isn’t the club for you anyway, go to planet fitness or golds where you belong, the Lifetime and us members don’t want to deal with you either.

Im excited for the south Lamar location, but hope they keep this spot open as well.

You should just close this location and stop embarrassing yourself. If you call yourself elite gym with high standards then provide highest standard facilities. I pay high premium exactly for great amenities otherwise regular gym will do just fine and comparing to this location they are beating you by far..
I hope management reads this but membership becomes completely overpriced when considering what you get in return.
P.s. they don’t even have shower room.

Hand a bunch of suit cases because we were coming straight from airport and couldn’t check in to house until 3. Lifetime staff were so nice to find space for our massive ski bag while we worked out. Thank you!!!

No spin classes here, locker room badly needs an upgrade and cleaning, weight floor and location are good though. I had intended to keep lifetime as I live between nyc/austin but this option isnt great. I’ll cancel as soon as I leave this neighborhood and just do equinox again, its basically the same price but nicer and more classes.

This gym closes earlier than other gyms. It closes at 7pm on weekends (even Golds stays open til 9pm) yet this “Lifetime” costs $250! It is also limited with wasted studio space that should be other stuff and super small bathrooms. The lockers jam and lock people out daily. No pickleball or basketball court. No climbing wall. There’s not even a pool. The staff is friendly though so that’s a plus. But $250 is a lot to pay monthly for the hours and what you get here. They should at least have summer hours that are longer.

*December 2024 Update: for a while, this location got better about trainers being more considerate to members and even added an additional Alpha rack, but they’ve recently slipped back into old habits. See attached photo - there are only six racks available, and they’ve reserved all of them during the busiest, peak time of day. They also continue to have issues with mold and recently closed the showers for a full month, with the recommendation to “visit another one of our locations” to shower. Unacceptable for a “premium elite” membership gym. Friendly front desk and Operations staff are the lone good quality of this place.*

Pretty sick of your trainers acting like they have the right to boot paying members (who are guilty of nothing except trying to workout) off the equipment and non-reserved racks because they “have a client in 10 minutes” or “in case someone shows up for Alpha class.” It’s unacceptable. Maybe if these were private clients being charged to reserve equipment, but we all pay just as much as them.

Save your money and go to any other private gym in the area. We pay a premium for the downtown location and it has the least amount of amenities and squat racks of any location in Austin and way too many people for a facility this size - it’s borderline unusable during peak times. Management has been unresponsive to feedback from members and it’s only getting worse as they continue to sell more memberships.

My things go missing at this gym and management doesn’t care to check the cameras and get back to me to see what happened.

Water cooler always empty. Soap in restroom is extremely diluted, like they’re trying to save on spending money on actual soap.

$250+ for Planet fitness standards.

Nice gym with pretty much all the equipment I can think of! Javony at the cafe is our favorite - always greets us with a smile and makes the BEST smoothies (and remembers our order)! Overall it’s always clean, all the staff are friendly. Only thing I wish was that there was more parking!
