Just joined and this is my new favorite place! Shocked to see so many negative folks in these reviews… Luxury is all relative and I guess I’ve never seen the other Lifetimes across the country — seems like a lot of visitors are bagging on this location. However, for me, I’m a local and comparing this gym to other luxury fitness clubs in SEA/BVUE I’ve been a member of. I’ve been in search of an elevated gym experience that makes me feel like I’m paying for the cleanliness and the premium equipment — this gym is just that. I’ve belonged to Bellevue Pro Club, Bellevue Club, various other gyms (LA, 24, Planet, etc. you get the picture) and this checks more boxes than any other place thus far. Here’s the list of things I love about it:
1) No kids — very much a personal preference but here you won’t find kids running around all over the place like you see at both Pro Club and Bellevue Club
2) CLEAN…. CLEEEEAAAAAN!!! And not the nasty chemical smelling clean, truly it’s an immaculate gym with staff constantly cleaning everything and likeminded people cleaning up after themselves
3) Classes: I’m a serial drop-ins class person and also have a ClassPass membership. For $250ish/mo with access to Hot Yoga, Cycling, Strength Training, and SO much more, this is so worth the value?!? I mean seriously, I pay hundreds a month just on drop-ins and to be able to do all of these classes on top of open gym is such a good price especially in the Seattle/Bellevue area
4) Free parking in the Bravern; self explanatory
5) Sauna and Steam Room; again, I pay drop ins for this at City Sweats and it’s such a plus to have this unlimited. They’re closed right now for construction but will open back up in 2 weeks and I’m thrilled to see the remodel :)
6) Access to Workout Programs/Nutrition through the Lifetime App: this was a big bonus and my husband and I didn’t realize we got access to all of these when signing up — there are valuable programs for both nutrition and fitness based on your goals. These are usually pretty damn expensive and to have access to this included in your membership is a big perk. We started a 6-week shred program that tells us everything we need to do in the gym each week and we can seamlessly log it in the app. LOVE!
7) CHILL AND KIND STAFF!! Everyone who works here is SO helpful and nice— no snooty attitudes from a luxury gym. Shoutout to Meiko (I hope I’m spelling your name right lol) for getting us all signed up and taking extra time to get us familiar with the gym.
8) Transparency: no hidden fees, straightforward membership pricing, no initiation fee like Bellevue Club which is thousands (insane) and a simple cancellation process. Literally we signed up within 5 mins, no need to go through the haggling of orientation where they try to sell you on personal training etc… we signed up through the app and then immediately worked out. A dream
For people saying this is not worth the price, I disagree and have to say that it’s complete based on what you’re prioritizing in your fitness journey. Will be a member for a long time!

Plus: walkable location near offices downtown, equipment ok
Minus: $$$ so expensive for what it is, floors in locker room dangerously slippery, also things keep on breaking. Just closed my membership because they shut down the showers for 5 weeks and they didn't even really close it, just converted to digital (scammy)

I’ve been a Lifetime member since 2017, and love every location I’ve ever been to, except this one. This Lifetime has a great staff, a somewhat clean facility, but little to no benefits for $280+ dollars per month. The pricing is criminal. No pool, no basketball court, very little equipment, and the sauna/steam room needs a facelift — both are constantly down. Even the wi-fi is incredibly low quality with no wi-fi extenders in the locker room.
Hopefully they (a. drop pricing now that inflation has settled near 2% or (b. build a larger facility further east. In no world (even in Bellevue) is this tiny gym worth nearly $300 a month. Add a cold plunge and a hot pool, maybe it would be worth $200, but really all you’re paying here is Bellevue tax, respectfully. Please consider adjusting pricing.

I have been training with Anastasia for almost a year now, and I couldn't be happier with the results. She has a profound understanding of the human body and has taught me how to deal with mine effectively. From handling weights to developing a personalized workout routine, Anastasia's guidance has been invaluable. Her approach is both professional and encouraging, making each session both challenging and enjoyable. Thanks to her expertise, I feel stronger, more confident, and healthier than ever before. Highly recommend her as a person trainer to anyone looking to transform their fitness journey and looking to understand how to workout generally for life ☺️❤️

I was a member for a few months but cancelled my membership for a few reasons. The inside of the Gym was kept nice and clean and there was ample space to exercise. I liked the body measurement system which provided a printed readout for keeping track of body trends.
Their own operation is what is leading me to give them 2 stars. During my time there they did not focus on the experience and instead focused on trying to get members to spend more money.
1. They closed the elevators right next to the main desk, directly disabling the floor selection and adding copypaper over the buttons. This is almost certainly due to trying to help their struggling cafe (which was overpriced and mediocre and I don't even know why it was there). With the new elevator positions it's now required to make an odd walk out to the front of the building to enter through a long corridor, past this cafe. Prior, you could just walk directly up to the front desk from your car. Didn't have to go outside. Super easy and the nicest entrance to a gym I've seen.
Lifetime's own greed in wanting to ensure that members passed by their mediocre cafe took priority over providing a better guest experience.
2. Lockers cost extra. There are two sizes of lockers in the locker rooms. These are all unlabelled and you can put your stuff in any of them while you work out. I would leave my gym bag in one of the hundreds of lockers during the week at times so I didn't have to bring it with me and leave it in my car. I came in the last time I was there to find it missing.
As it turns out, using a locker for more than your gym session requires that you pay 100$ on top of the already insane 250$ for a reserved locker. In a facility with hundreds of excess lockers. With no signs or even offers of this service until after they had confiscated my bag. This wasn't evident at all when I visited and left me panicking that my clothes had been stolen from my locker.
This lifetime fitness, which is by far their smallest gym in the company by a large margin, charges you the same as their fully featured multi-floor fitness centers in other states. Those centers get multiple ball courts (pickleball, basketball, etc...), pools, cold plunges, hot tubs, bars, large studios, etc... Many many more features than this center and charge the same amount.
Even with the excessive and greedy 250$ price tag per month on this gym, they manage to offer the least and then decide to upcharge their members on lockers as well as remove amenities to support their somehow failing cafe.
Is it worth it? No. Is it significantly greedier than the other locations in the company? YES, by far. For 250$ a month I'd expect to get top-tier service and at least have a locker to keep my stuff in during the week. Instead I get a gym that nickled and dimed me even after I paid them 3,000$ a year.
I only give them 2 stars as the interior is at least clean and there's ample benches.

Been a member for a couple years now and man let me tell you the old Manager was Amazing! He cared for the Members and his Staff everything was so clean, It was worth the money. ? This New Manager Kim and Sarah are dragging this place down, they got rid of the Staff that cared about the place. And worked hard to upkeep it. Not to mention the Engineers that don't ever fix anything and stand around talking instead of actually fixing equipment. And the steam room and Sauna are always Broken its been weeks now. I don't recommend this place at all unless you want to pay 200 to 300 plus for Bodywash and broken equipment along with a Dirty Sauna floor. 0 out of 10 its just not at the standerd it use to be, a real shame. I'd give 0 stars if I could.

Overpriced. Lack a large gym. Its small. Amenities don't really distinguish itself from other gyms. Lack a trial. I ended up switching to 425 Fitness half the price and its larger and multiple locations. On top of that I actually think I get better amenities. If you want to be apart of the group who spend 250 a month. If you want that kind of exclusivity at a cost of everything else. Then this gym is for you. Otherwise this gym is like buying a fake birkin for the same price as a real one.

My sister and I enjoyed 80 minute massage at the Lifetime in Brookfield, WI. She is a member and I'm visiting from Colorado. The facilities are very impressive and they take a lot of care to keep them clean. She brings her grandchildren for swim lessons and pool time and I was welcomed warmly by very friendly staff to join them. The pool is fantastic. The massage was icing on the cake. We talked about the massages and both started face up on a really comfortable table that was positioned perfectly and warmed. Patrick was very attentive to my reactions to firm pressure which I prefer. He tuned right in to the places that needed some work and had interesting techniques that I hope to experience again. Patrick is a pro and I'd highly recommend requesting this therapist. Thank you.

I have had an exceptional experience since recently joining lifetime. Anastasia, my personal trainer, has been a game-changer in my fitness journey. Her expertise and commitment shine through in every session. Anastasia’s personalized workouts are both challenging and precisely aligned with my goals. Her encouragement and support make each session enjoyable, and I appreciate the variety she brings to keep things interesting. I highly recommend Anastasia to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable personal trainer at Lifetime!

Corbin (Member Concierge) was one of the most helpful staff members I’ve encountered at any gym. This weekend my partner and I signed up for gym access through a partner service. Upon arriving, Corbin showed us incredible customer service qualities and really helped the experience feel complete.
