I didn't have pre workout, so I went to the cafe and asked for some, and they gave me two scoops and told me, don't worry about it!

Is pre workout, normally free or did my charm work? 🤣

I’m starting to teach group fitness at lifetime soon, and it’s my first time teaching in a gym environment. In my experience, the boutique fitness studios I’ve taught at generally don’t care what music I play as long as it’s not overly explicit/controversial. I play mostly rap and EDM in my classes currently and I have a bunch of regulars that take my classes because they like my playlists.

I’ve never taken classes at lifetime before, so I’m curious to know what kind of music is generally played in group fitness classes, if there are restrictions, and whether there are certain genres clients usually prefer.

Wet towels just being left behind everywhere (sauna, steam room, on the shower drain on the floor??, in the lockers and the seats)

Shaving cream and razors being left behind in the shower, old farts scratching their dick and ass butt naked in the locker room, leaving trash behind. aggressively coughing and spitting in the showers etc.

It's so nasty and it feels disgusting just walking into the showers. Maybe I'm a germophobe or my gym is just particularly bad. But if I'm paying this much for a membership I'm expecting a cleaner experience than going to crunch fitness which in my experience people had better etiquette.

It feels like bc people are paying so much for the membership they think they can just do whatever they want and expect some employee to come behind them and clean it up. So much entitlement

Who do you guys like for CTR? Looking specifically for Wall St but don’t mind traveling for a good instructor. I’ve taken a few classes but the it didn’t feel particularly challenging. Thanks!

For context an older location about 12 miles away is $420. Do these prices usually go down with time?

EDIT - This is for two adults and two kids under 13

Y'all gonna be hitting kids academy before school starts everyday the next few weeks? Wish we could get them do more than 2.5hr!

I’m in the process of interviewing for a group fitness instructor position with LT. I’m curious, what is the pay like? I can’t find anything posted anywhere. Do most of the classes require a lot of prep beforehand? If so does the pay reflect that?

Exactly what I said. Everyone talks and trying to fuck each other staff and members included

i recently switched from a yoga studio membership to a lifetime membership, because i want the option to strength train and do cardio! but i have yet to find a yoga teacher that scratches the itch of wanted to practice some more intermediate/advanced postures or more powerful/energetic flows. does anyone have any recommendations?

I have a GTX Audition coming up. Wanted to drop here in this Reddit for any advice beyond the “show your personality” I already instruct at two other places including [solidcore] so during my audition I planned on speaking of the science of the movement for muscle mind connection.

But of course wanted to ask for any additional advice for the audition. Should I be asking the Studio Leader what is the availability they are searching for? Or even share that I could teach Ultra Fit and even CTR due to my experience with [solidcore].

Also - does Life Time have Non-Competes in place? I think I’ll be sad to have to give up some of my other instructor roles knowing the culture/members might not be able to come to Life Time and take classes with me.

Have any of you been in either the NJ or NY area? Do you feel like there is a good blend of demographics or is it very straight leaning and/or stuffy?

I don’t need it to be like a hookup spot, but it’d be nice to feel comfortable in it and maybe meet a cute guy or make friends.

Thanks

Looking for an active gym partner to work out with. Who goes to lifetime and is down to work out 3 times a week?

Hi life timers,

Any tips or negotiating perks while talking to the sales reps for joining the family? [family of 4]

Seems like prices go up every year regardless of lifetime status, sounds about right with inflation spiking everywhere.

A number of facilities in my area have started going through the new facility upgrades. My home location just shared its renovation timeline the other day, and the length of the closure seems very different from what I’ve seen at other locations.

They’re indicating that the men’s locker room showers will be unavailable for nearly four months. I’m curious if anyone else’s location has gone through something similar. If so, how long were your showers unavailable, and did management offer any alternatives, accommodations, or other options for members during the closure?

I completely understand that upgrades are necessary and that some disruption comes with renovations, but almost four months without shower facilities seems excessive, especially for members who regularly work out before work.

Just curious what others have experienced and how their clubs handled it.

Life Time ——- Men's Locker Room Closure

The Men's Locker Room at Life Time ——- will be temporarily closed beginning Tuesday, 8/18 as we make upgrades and improvements to enhance your experience. Showers will be unavailable during this project. We currently plan to complete the project and resume service on 12/1.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

I’m looking to take a new class at lifetime. I want to try out shred conn but I wonder if it makes sense for my goals. I’m actually trying to bulk because I’m underweight. Will shred conn just help with toning my body and helping with stamina or is it meant for weight loss? I’m new to the gym so sorry if I said stuff that contradicts each other or if I don’t make sense.
